Quiet drive and comfortable
Quirky styling, not for everyone. I like the seating position up high, great visibility. High quality materials. I have the REX model and can't even hear it when it kicks in at highway speeds. Going in to my second year of lease, has been reliable and comfortable. I have no complaints.

Almost perfect electric vehicle
Fun too drive. Supet quiet. Zero emissions. After this great experience with first electric car, I don't think I could go back to another internal combustion vehicle. Electric range of 200+ miles and a 5th seat would make it perfect.

Surprisingly Complete “City Car”
I was nervous about buying an i3 without a range extender. This car proved me totally wrong! It is pure electric. I always have plenty of reserve for my local errands. The thing is a pocket rocket! No one can out run me at a stop light! It is short, with the tightest turning circle of any car on the market. If you can’t get into,that super tight parking space, it will do it for you. Though limited on storage, there is plenty for every day needs. I LOVE this car! I wish I’d bought one years ago..

Best city commuter
Don’t assume you’ll need to install L2 charging equipment. Have been driving this car for almost 3 years plus a Soul EV, both used for commuting in a two person household, charging on a single 120v receptacle has been working fine.

rating on getting in/out is completely wrong
How can a two door Honda Civic Coupe get a better rating by Edmunds for back seat access than an i3? I'm assuming Edmunds didn't learn that there's a headrest lever to allow back seat passengers to get out, which explains why i3 got such a bad rating. And having 4 doors is an advantage when loading large items from the side of the car. It's also easier to manage child car seats in an i3 than any 2 door car, and many 4 doors. Letting people that don't know how to operate carriage doors review an i3 is like having a dog review catnip.
