This is the first vehicle I've considered upgrading the sound system since my 20's (spent 5k back then). I don't have the HK upgrade but have every other option. I figured any standard system is fine for me now, but was I wrong. It's worse in the back seat. Are there no speakers back there...

Thanks! I have it on Auto. It actually starts up at Auto for me every time I start the car. After a few minutes the windows start fogging up so I have to turn on the defogger (defroster). I didn't know Auto mode was supposed to control the vents too. I thought it was just the temperature...

Hoping I can get help with a few things... 1. Windshield/windows fogging up. This is the first car I've owned that had a bad fogging issue with the windows. I'm guessing it's because it's the smallest car I've owned. I mean with it being 65 degrees out I have to turn on the windshield...

After a full charge, my distance to empty is now showing 109 miles. Quite a drop from 141. Both were set to comfort mode.

Well my last two fill-ups have shown 231 miles to empty. It must have adjusted the range from the previous owner. I'm guessing it will continue to drop...

Great, thanks! I will look for this when I leave the office tonight.

Does this work if you don't have anything "activated"? In the manual, there is something about an "Intelligent Safety Button", but it doesn't indicate where this button see, nor do I see it on my dash. Is this feature only available when you have cruise control with distance control on? This...

No I love the look of the 20s. It was one of my "must haves" when I was shopping. Just a little bumpier ride than I would have liked. I didn't know about winter tires not being available though. That is really unfortunate. Why would they make wheels that don't work in the winter? lol. I can...

I'm not sure if I like these wheels. Maybe 10 years ago I may have like them a lot more, when appearance trumped everything else. I also test drove an i3 with 19" wheels and I thought it was a much more comfortable ride, but I didn't drive them back to back (1 week apart). Are the tires the...

Cool, thanks! Going to be leaving in an hour or so...

Thanks for the replies! How much does extra passengers effect your range? My other vehicle is in the shop and I'm going on a trip with the whole family this weekend in the i3 for the first time. Total weight would be about 500 lbs (me, wife and 2 small kids). The trip is 80 miles so it's...

Wow, then I'm showing a 40% increase on my estimated miles to empty. I'll have to set my trip meter and see if I'm getting anything near that. I'm guessing it's not that accurate. I would assume the EPA estimates are almost unrealistic best-case scenarios.

I just bought a 2017 REX model a couple of weeks ago. My range will show 141 miles when full (comfort mode). I'm surprised it is much more than the 114 advertised. I realize this is based on driving habits, so I'm curious what everyone else shows for range after a "fill up". I don't drive...

Oh, the salesman gave me incorrect information. Not surprising I suppose. He also told me I should go with a 2018 (was looking at a 2017 ) to go with the bigger battery.

Does anyone have a Chargepoint charger at home and at work (your own business)? I'm wondering if I can use the same app for both chargers or if it would be better to go with a different brand.
