2014 BMW i3 - Yes, good looking.

It runs and drives. In pretty good condition. People don't drive like madmen around me because they assume I'm an excessive understeer, even at low speeds. Frightening amounts of body roll. Slow enough that I've actually been beaten off the line by a bicycle. The caution lights are on the steering column, so I accidentally hit it with my knee. My knee hits the dash and steering column. Shitty fuel economy. 100hp/ton. 120ft/lb./ton. People assume that I don't turn my brights off for them in the dark, but the reality is, I don't even have any. Smells like the old lady that drove it before me. In true old person style, it's the most gorgeous shade of beige.

Pros

Great smooth ride, comfy seats. Awesome smooth supercharged V6 (pulls pretty good for a land yacht too, will beat your mother's Civic). Handles surprisingly well for its size and weight. Steering is kind of precise, and there isn't a ridiculous amount of body roll. Stock 9 speaker system is actually pretty decent. Has dual electronic climate control, steering wheel controls, and heated seats: all the good stuff.

Cons

Handling, steering feel (even with electric steering), clutch weightiness, and the electric parking brake. Porsche put the e-brake on the left side of the steering wheel, under the dash (just above the clutch). It is really annoying to engage/disengage. The car does automatically disengage it once the seatbelt is clicked in, and the brake pedal is depressed, so it is not too much of an issue. But it is still annoying. I would rather that they designed it into the regular e-brake location to the right of the driver just behind the shifter. A small lever there would have been ideal.

2015 BMW i3 - Not one of the better cars I have driven.

I have recently inherited this car because my mother passed away shortly after purchasing it. It would not be a car I would have picked. It does have a comfortable interior and a nice stereo system, but the exterior is not what I was looking for in terms of how stylish it looks (or does not look). However it does drive well and gets really nice mpg so I can't complain too much.

Story

My mom used to drive the family around in it, which was always fun. I was with her when she picked it out. It was nice to see her so genuinely excited about something. She showed it off to all of her friends the day she bought it, posted pictures of it all over the internet, and called all of her friends about it.

Pros

It gets amazing gas mileage and has a comfortable interior. This carries my music equipment better than I thought it would, but it's still a little small. It drives very smoothly and glides easily on the highway.

Cons

Appearance is not one I would pick.

2001 BMW i3 - Since it was older, it needed work. However, I enjoy the fact that it is a manual transmission and a family car.

BMWs are usually very reliable. I bought this as a basic get-around car. It was inherited from other American military car drivers overseas. I love the fact that it was a manual transmission. It reminds me of my sporty pre-mom days.

Story

We took this car and explored downtown Kaiserslautern, Germany! We discovered local malls and happened to run into a festival/carnival for the kids!

Pros

I loved the fact that it is a crossover, which gave me storage and flexibility without being a bulky SUV. It is low key for a luxury vehicle, not too fancy.

Cons

No cup holders and old radio. Maintenance has been a beast, but it is a car over fifteen years old.
