I used to drive i3s for work and really enjoyed it, brilliant car for London. It's quick off the lights, handles like a hockey puck, parks itself if you're patient and good visibility. The only downside were the seats, they are rather flat.

I genuinely think that it was the goal of the design. A bit like the Smart car, optimised for short journeys in urban areas with limited parking. It would certainly explain a lot of the design choices and limited range. For our use case it would not have worked for us, but they were ubiquitous when I worked in Richmond, so clearly there is a market for them.

The i3 is awful on the inside. Like driving in a German industrial design office with terrible and cheap interior materials. Really unpleasant and rather small too. The Leaf was great on the inside and roomy. Better driving experience too.
