    New tires helped

    See previous post. Bridgestone - ECOPIA EP500 (Summer) Bridgestone - ECOPIA EP600 (All Season) I chose these Notices less road noise and felt like car was more grippy on LA freeways. Could be any new tires would have had this result, but I think the Summer tires have different blend of rubber...

    New tires helped

    I assume so, but am not sure. I ordered the 4 tires through Costco they performed the install. I think alinement was a part of their service, but I cannot confirm. My mistake - I meant "All weather" not snow tires. The Costco choices were between Bridgestone - ECOPIA EP500 (Summer)...

    New tires helped

    I purchased a 2019 i3 in the spring, thanks to advice from this forum, and have had no regrets. However, when I drove it on the freeway in Los Angeles, it felt as if it were being pushed around. I initially thought that the small size and high profile of the i3 made it susceptible to wind and...

    Buying advice - 2014 or 2019

    Thanks for the reply. I've calmed down and considering the 2017. Lots to think about. Is there any reason the BEV (or base mode) is rare and the REX is everywhere in used circles? Everything I see for sale is Range Extended. The 2019 is 27,900 but with shipping and taxes it should be well over...

    Buying advice - 2014 or 2019

    Hello, I'm new and have been reading a lot. You all seem like nice people. I'm wanting to buy a car and its come down to a 2014 (16k) or 2019 (30k). I don't want a range extender on it. I feel like I missed out on the lower priced used cars not that its 2023. I'm leaning towards the 2019...
