Pros
Ride and Handling
car feels strong. You don’t feel like you’re bouncing around when you hit a A dip a bump or a crack in the road… don’t feel like a Bobble head toy
Cons
Power
loses power once battery is out car continues to be strong while it’s on gas but loses power when trying to advance, this happens only while on gas only…. But if you’re a person that stays within the speed limit, and doesn’t advance. It’s a great car.
Pros
Ride and Handling
The ride and handling is practically intuitive! Almost like flying a private plane; think it, it moves!
Styling
Impressive! I get compliments all the time on the features, ease of use, and great styling!
Dashboard
Well set, easy to read and use. informative!
Cons
Fuel Economy
While I gas up at the same place about the same time each week, sometimes I get more bang for my bucks and sometimes less. It’s a toss up about which will show up!
Interior Space
My grand children would like more room in the back for their car seats!
Cargo Space
The cargo space is adequate! Luckily I don’t have to carry much but it’s small!
Pros
Cabin Noise
so so much more quiet than my last car. Quieter than earlier versions of the i3 when the REx is on.

feels like a higher level car than the price tag for sure! comparable cars have fewer features

I like the fact you can use carpool by yourself when of course the balboa dealer in San Diego correct the paperwork that was wrongly submitted to the DMV so that way I will be able to get the decals for my car
Value
Great car for short distance. And when Elizabeth finally give me a call for the first time that my paperwork is ready to then be able to apply for my decals will be even better car
Cabin Noise
while I wait to enter the freeway in my electric car is very confortable but of course will better and more efficient when I can use the carpool by my self with my decals after San Diego dealer on Balboa Av get things right with the DMV and finally Elizabeth be so nice to comunícate to me so I can then apply for decals for my car Thank you until then

Super quiet as an EV, nearly so when then range extender runs.

Turns heads everywhere

Tires are hard to find and more expensive than one would expect (but OK prices for performance tires).
Technology and Entertainment
Radio is awful in all i3s - but I don't really care either as this isn't our long trip car
Weather Versatility
Rear drive without snow tires on it is fun but not the fastest way to get around. Buy snow tires.

I have t even used the little gas that it takes yet.
Interior Space
spacious and comfortable
Power

Cons
Cost to Maintain
BMW is pricey to maintain. but I guess that’s what happens when you buy luxury
