Road Test

With its space-age body, super-efficient powertrain, and laser focus on its urban mission, the i3 pushes the boundaries in automotive design. This tall, narrow, electric city car not only looks like a futuristic personal transportation pod that just drove off the set of the latest "Tron" movie, it's the first widely available car to use lightweight carbon fiber for its basic body structure. That single mission focus however, makes the i3's appeal rather limited. Under the modern vibe, there are some peculiarities that might deter many buyers.
