Pros
Fuel Economy
I never pay more than $55 to fill my tank (gas). When I have a charge, the mileage is incredible, specifically on the freeway.
Ride and Handling
love the feel in comfort, but I love the power of sport mode whenever. It's just a button click away.
Cargo Space
I’m a drummer and the is trunk can hold a kit easily. Plus, all the little compartments in the trunk help a lot to keep it from getting junky.
Cons
Cost to Maintain
It’s a Beamer. The insurance isn’t terrible high, but it is something to consider when adding to your monthly car note.
Styling
Light colored leather seats, which I love, but inevitably get dirty easily.
Pros
Cabin Noise
VERY quiet
Seat Comfort
nice and roomy for five passengers. Good for long road trips
Power
It can move when it wants too.
Cons
Technology and Entertainment
Wireless carplay is wonderful when it works. It occasionally drops off. And the wireless charging pad turns my iphone into Chernobyl
Fuel Economy
The posted range can fluctuate wildly in traffic situations where you need to merge and idling sucks mileage because once the battery is depleted, the engine works twice as hard to power every system in the vehicle.
Dashboard
clunky menus and annoying safety features can take away from the joy of driving. It can be particularly annoying if a setting gets changed by accident and you need to go to YouTube to figure out how to shut it off.
