Hello everybody,
I had the opportunity to see and drive the i3 a few days ago...
I would like to share with you my experience.
First of all, the car looks way better in real than on pictures. I saw an Andesite Silver and a Ionic Silver, with Loft, Lodge and Suite interiors.
I was really amazed by the Lodge interior. Even if it's far away from my tastes, I almost fell in love with that interior. Well, I think it's by far the most comfortable and it's really different from what we see in a car normally.
The car I drove was a pre-serie, Loft interior. I was kind of disappointed by this interior, because, I think, it looks way better on pictures than in reality.
I really liked the screens, because you have a lot of information on them and it's easy to understand.
As for the driving part, I could test it on the back seats, then on the passenger seat, then on the driver seat.
The back space is really spacious. A lot more than what you can find on normal cars I think. I am quite tall but had no trouble seating comfortably, and it's easy to slide in the back.
Then I had the opportunity to try it on a small track, made mostly to test the maniability of the car. I can tell you it almost turn around itself!
When you press the accelerator, you can feel the 170hp and the power the car has. The silence is, of course, really surprising and nice.
Unfortunately, the "one pedal feeling" was deactivated, so if you let go of the accelerator, it was not braking like it should, which was really surprising after trying the ACtive-E.
But I guess it was because of the pre-serie version...
Anyway, this experience was really positive and I now hope I'll be able to drive a BMW i3 home in 2014...
I am trying to put a picture I took just below this sentence so I hope it'll work... If not, can someone tell me how to add pictures on this forum?
