BMW i3

"Its really fast"

"quick and stable"

"This acceleration and handling of this car is impressive, I feel like I drive a concept car."

"The steering is too sensative at high speeds (highway). Around town it is super to drive."

"Great acceleration and maneuverability especially in town"

"Accelerating is very good. I discovered that rear tires were out of alignment. Once aligned, handling is also very good."

"Fun to drive, like a giant electric golf cart!"

"This car is really fun to drive with great acceleration and I love the quiet road noise"

"It is very quiet, with excellent acceleration, handling and braking. It is fun to drive, with comfortable seats. It is easy to park, has fine range, and is practical like a small SUV with comfortable rear seats that fold down, a hatch, and tall seating position."

"Acceleration is good, handling is good on local roads, but I don't like the handling on the highway -- doesn't feel stable, probably due to the skinny tires."

"The size of the i3 is great because it does not take up a lot of space (Length is ~156 inches). The low speed torque provides a lot of acceleration if needed. This car has rear wheel drive which is necessary for better handling."

"I love the smooth and strong acceleration of the electric drive - also the deceleration by lifting the pedal."

"excellent acceleration from stop. highly refined braking"

"Although it is small, it doesn't feel small or unsafe when you are behind the wheel. The instant speed and the responsiveness are amazing."

"The i3 driving experience is not confidence building. Likely due to the narrow tires, you need to pay strict attention to what you are doing."

"Wish it was AWD or FWD"

"like being in racing video game when driving"

"Acceleration and handling"

"Fantastic smooth and quick acceleration, fun to drive"

"Combination of strong acceleration and tight handling makes this car fun to drive at low speed and in tight spaces."

"GOOD FOR BOTH"

"First electric car. Fun to drive, great range. Good handling and very nimble."

"Electric drive system is extremely smooth and feels "effortless". Acceleration around town is excellent, even though overall horsepower is not that high. Surprisingly fun to drive!"

"Great acceleration and handling"

"Incredible smooth acceleration, very tight turning radius - great for city streets"

"great deal, mediocre car"

"The seats are very uncomfortable for trips longer than 1 hour. there aren't enough adjustments and the seats are hard with no lumbar support. The suspension is very firm and doesn't take the potholed NJ streets kindly. The back seat isn't comfortable for 2 teenagers who now refuse to ride in the back. There's no air vents and the windows don't go down."

"seats comfortable, noise very quiet, ride choppy."

"Love everything about my I3"

"It is very quiet, with excellent acceleration, handling and braking. It is fun to drive, with comfortable seats. I will never sell it. I love this car."

"I leased the car. Maintenance is nil. I have used about $10 worth of gas on the trip to Baltimore and back. Electric battery energy is cheaper, more convenient. ( I bought a ChargePoint charger 240 Volt) for my garage)). It is the perfect commuter car. I don't use gas to pollute the air because I don't travel outside the Metropolitan area (NY). It suits my needs, It doesn't pollute, it saves me money."

"Due to incentives i ended up leasing my i3 at around $37,500USD. Which changes what I feel I get for my $ significantly. For all practical purposes I love this car, I didnt think it would be this nice, a new kind of luxury that I think opens an interesting direction. I often feel like I am driving around in a concept car. On that note, I leased instead of my normal buy-only mindset because I feared owning a two year old $40k iPod. It does have some kinks to work out for sure, but it is a wonderful driving experience for our family of 4 (and occasional dog, we actually fit). in relatively rural NH. Not dirt roads, but a town of 3000. One has to be strategic and safe because charging stations are few already but sometimes are out of service. Especially the quicker charges. Plus due to our winters at it's coldest we lose nearly a third of the battery which i's say is around 80 miles. But it does get cold here. This is one of the most fun and unique driving cars I've ever owned. It is a pleasure, a great balance of a sensible little car with an excess of power available. I somehow I feel like I am driving something between an late sities VW Beetle with the engine of a bathtub Porche. I honesty give it an A+ in the warm months. Exceptional. While I feel BMWs are normally icons of pretentious cars and owners, this one is more of a display of ability than excess. Its a extremely well thought out vehicle and I continue to notice small details from month to month. I don't feel like a jerk at all driving this car. In all black this car is not flash at first glance. But very much so at second. I've owned it for 9mo and the REX backup tank has gone down less a half-gallon. A portion of that was decided by the computer which ran the motor for maintenance and warned me on the dash display. Oh, the display. Although it is much better than many and the knob feels good in your hand, the whole BMW interface is a dissappointment. Not thought through from the perspective of a driver, Things are named and ordered in peculiar ways to assume. The i3 dash to the left is very lovely overall, well lit and relatively clear typography and logic. The backup camera can be temperamental. Yeah I really like Consumer Reports as well btw. I used you extensively when purchasing this car. I really appreciate what you folks do. You're also smart and well thought out, not overly dumbed down… and not fun to disagree with. Youve made me doubt my certainties more than a few times. Hope this rant was helpful. -S"

"The most fun car to drive I've ever owned! The lease price ended up being only a little more than the Chevy Bolt and the driving and comfort experience of the i3 is completely worth the extra cost. Purchased in June 2017 - and my first scheduled maintenance isn't until Feb 2019!"

"Very inexpensive to run and very reliable"

"free car (net of gas savings)"
