Great car for graceful people who don't have to travel very far on a single charge. I knocked heads with the passenger as we buckled up (I'm under 5' tall, so this was a width/coordination problem). The backseat is incredibly small with no windows, which was a no-go for my kid. The car was adorable and super fun to drive, though. If I were single and childless I would have bought it.Oct 10, 2025

It has nearly all the features I am looking for but two. I would like the bigger battery pack and I do not think the Rex system is needed for my use case. Apr 03, 2025

I’m so happy with my 2015 i3. She drives like a charm, fast and steady. Easy to park lots of room inside I love her! I call her Betsy Oct 05, 2023
