During my test drive, the sales guy told me that it's not intended for emergency braking (too slow to react). The distance the camera measures cars is not that big either. I will not take this option if I go for the i3, because I would never be capable of really relying on it

I wholeheartedly agree. If Tesla delivers the goods (a 35-45 k car with at least 300 km - 200 mi range), they should be capable of really changing the market. I'm still thinking on purchasing the i3, it will be our main car and I do 40 000 km a year... The AddOn Mobility should allow some...

The question is: "How many people will recharge their plug-in hybrid (like a Audi e-tron) on that occasional long trip. I have 2-3 long trips a month: one around 250 km on a day, one of 500 km a day and every other month a trip of 2 x 750 km. For the 500 km roundtrip, I wake up at 5:00AM to...

I'm still in doubt on my next car. I did some comparisons (bot cost and CO2) between the i3 + EX,Audi e-tron and a BMW 320d. Afterwards I was curious on how some other cars would compare. Audi claims that a range extender is a flawed concept but my analysis shows a different result... Anyway...

I think there is an optimum, when it gets too hot autonomy decreases again (ad not alone because you will want to use the AC) . Or I'm I wrong?

I'm not that sure aboutthis comparison. If technology improves, there will be better new cars coming to the market. But an i3 will still beat any 'standard' car in variable cost, so there will quite some interest in an older one. Look at it as an iPhone, they still go good money second hand

I would like to have around 150 km of travel between two refills if I was doing highways. I do not use them very often... I suspect this is in ecopro mode?

Is this an I3 with REX? And is this with preconditioning? I was considering an i3 + REX, but If I only get 50 miles from batteries + same distance from REX in winter (and it is not that cold now in the UK) at 65 mph, I think it really does not suit me. I have no issue driving 65 mph and using...

Thank you for the input. I just want to clarfiy that I have testdrivren both cars, and I found the i3 an absolute joy to drive. The A3 was a boring car to drive compared to the i3 (but I am biased). The 1400 km trips would be done with BMW Add-On Mobility (so hiring a BMW3 or something alike...

Hello, my first post on this forum. By the end of the year, I will have to pick a new company car. A the moment, I'm driving a BMW 520d F11 (touring/estate), but I want to reduce my footprint. I'm still considering two cars, the Audi A3 e-tron or a BMW i3 with REX . The Audi A3 is by far the...
