10 second summary -- Good: looks cool, good speed, good handling, hybrid engine (30mpg), carbon fiber hull. Bad: weird fake engine sound, no manual transmission (too easy to drive), no AM radio. Ugly: cheap leather seats deteriorate.

I think ppl are disappointed or hating on the i8 because they expect it to be a sports and it isn't. It's a grand-touring car for cruising along on the interstate. The quick acceleration is a bonus and the good/great gas mileage is a double bonus. Just gotta set your expectations and it can be satisfying.

I absolutely love this car. I have had it for 6 months and it is exactly what a 50yo woman would drive. Sexy, fast (but drivable), and everyone whether I know them or not wants to take pictures with it. For a guy this would totally be a chick magnet. The interior is so comfortable and like he said, everything is very accessible. I found an easy way to get in and out of the car so that’s not an issue. When you say ‘touring,’ this automobile is the epitome of touring. You want to go on a long trip in this vehicle. I think the good far outweigh the bad. Plenty of fahrfegnugen! Try it out! It’s a hell of a lot of fun and will stay in my arsenal for years to come!

Similar with spark plugs. Fuel is really less expensive with 34MPG km the city and 40 on the highway. Unless you drive WOT which I do several drives a week because the car is so much fun flooring through a turn=priceless.

so, I take it you aren't gonna buyout the i8 after the lease? I'm not gonna go find all of the other videos you did on this car, so what has it gone to the dealer for other than routine service? How long did it sit at the dealer to get fixed? What would have been the cost(s) of said fixes if out of warranty? Will the i8 make a good 2nd or 3rd owner car 5 or 6 years down the road? Since you seem to be into Hybrid "supercars", why not seek out the new NSX. Similar concept, but with only 2 seats and report back with the differences btwn it and the i8. And since your leasing it anyways, no biggie, right?

If I had to decide whether to buy or not, would have wait knowing what I know now. I can handle the chore of getting in and out of the i8. If you wear new jeans, they will leave a blue stain on the white leather. Was able to remove the stain only by using Chemical Guys Inner Clean. I love the thrill of driving the i8, and will be in my garage for a very long time. I am a former Toyota Supra owner (4 different models) and BMW 650i owner.

I hate the fact that BMW’s depreciate in value so fast after warranty. A BMW I8 headlight costs $6000.00 each if you need to replace it. The electronics always have issues after so many miles and it’s not cheap to diagnose and fix. Everyone leases or buys new and sells them after warranty expires. This leads to a flood of after warranty cars on the market that need repairs or shortly after. Wouldn’t be so bad if the replacement parts were cheaper in my opinion.

@@oeiras99 i agree.. But bmw just went for weight savings fuel economy and for the whole revolutionary hybrid supercar idea ... So they compromised on the grip. They just wanted to get a message out there and be the first to have a fuel efficient supercar

Shortly the new 992 generation Porsche will be hybridized so it will be interesting to see how it does in fuel economy with 305 rear tires up from 295 in the previous generation. They provide grip and give the car a great stance.

@@oeiras99 yes well Porsche is an all out performance brand they dont really care about fuel efficiency and luxury, i think their idea of hybridizing the 992 is for performance oriented reasons only, unlike BMW's i department.

My 2013 328i xdrive gets 0-60 in 5.6 seconds plenty fast for me... in eco mode it gets 40 mpg on my commute. For a few hundred I can get it tuned if I need to go faster...and I picked it up for 13 grand (off lease). It has the sport package so it has a nice trim level . And I used to like this car, but having seen it up close and personal, it’s not worth the price, it’s a nicely designed rip off. Your smart to lease it with the horrible depreciation....I mean I just said I’m driving a 40k dollar car for pennies....how much more would my wallet hurt to buy this new or used

Interesting review. Is the leather Dakota or Merlino grade? I notice that you do not seem to retract your seat all the way back on its track before exiting or entering. That promotes the bolster wear your are experiencing on any BMW with M Sport seating. Interesting you did not comment on the 6AT. 8 speed would be super nice. So would version 7 of iDrive. I do appreciate the space behind the front seats that is abolished when the roadster is chosen. 911 do not have much,nor do Hurracan. Your next renter? For more commodious space for only two, the Portfino. For an alternative hybrid with even less storage space but more emotion, the Acura NSX.
