Yesterday we were able to take BMW's new i3 for a spin, below is the conclusion we came to! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
BMW have shown that they don’t have to bring out bland looking, increasingly generic econo saloons. The i3 shows that difference is good, and at the dealership we spoke to they have already sold 10 i3’s before it even hit the showroom floor, that’s a lot of cash to pony up for a car you have never driven!
At £25,680 (after the £5k government rebate) it is pricey for what is essentially a small hatchback, but good looks and cutting edge tech have always carried a premium.
For around town the i3 would be superb, longer journeys and you may think about the range extender model. Same car, but fitted with a 2 cylinder petrol engine used to charge the batteries...it makes no sense what so ever to us - so don’t bother with the range extender, just buy a diesel hatchback!
Carwitter Summary:
BMW i3 – Nimble, agile handling, good range, firm ride, concept car looks.
