[@Gadne92.5]

15:00 onward really good points. Usually only owners do get that, hats of to you, sire. Its not about acceleration or top speed or top HP figures. Its about the whole package. One can daily i8 and drive 15-20 ... even 30k miles annually with it, no one with their Ferrari-Lambo-AMG does that. Some Corvette guys maybe but that car is not "exotic". I did daily my i8 for the first 7 months of my ownership and drove over 15k km / 9300 ml with it. No problems what so ever. Compared to your Ferrari, Lambo, AMG the servicing is dirt cheap, parts are dirt cheap, insuring also. Still you'll get that "supercar" kind of look. So yeah, its somewhat posing but at least it is not your yet another 911 - the sportscar worlds "Toyota" (everyone has it, you see them everywhere). BMW i8 is kind of exclusive because it sold that few numbers. And I like having a car that no one else has. For months I drove mine and did not come across any other.

[@2010frankieg]

40 times faster though

[@clifbradley]

Yo ask them if they know how much the Santa Cruze is going to be? These cars are city supercars. They weren't meant to rally drive or anything like that. They were meant to be driven in big cities with lots of congestion where you travel maybe 2 blocks before a traffic light. They can get to highway speed and keep you there, but these are city cars. First and foremost. Urban supercars. If you see these in another country, they get made fun of just as bad over there too.

[@judyfrancis1097]

I love carwow. The reviews are always brilliant

[@marksharman8029]

Most American reviewers don't get this car, it's not an issue with the car, it is an issue with the intelligence of the reviewer. You are correct in that this is for a specific market. I think maybe, if the car market goes the way it has to, this kind of format will be very common, if not, well then I guess it's Mad Max time.

car is horrible!!! you are paying for looks that's it. with price way over the top. lack luster electronics phone sized screen and so we even gotta talk about the lack of power? if it went new for 60,000 than it would be amazing but its going for over 100,000 new. the BMW i4 m50 is all electric, way more electronic features and over 500 hp with better driving range. and brand new 65,000 . its newer cheaper faster and nicer than this i8

[@BN99239]

The NSX is the better implementation of a plug-in hybrid, daily supercar.

[@shinwang2469]

Fact, but i8 was launched way earlier and depreciate much faster than NSX. Maybe a good value used. The speaker-played engine sound is a big no no for me, and it sounds like a tractor from the outside. Just ordered a xDrive G80 M3. I would buy an i8 only if it gets a straight-6 hybrid or full electric

[@BN99239]

@@shinwang2469 Yeah, I would consider it if it as $70k tbh. The performance is around that level. Maybe $80k tops.

[@shinwang2469]

@@BN99239 Well some used ones are in that range. There is a 2015 model in my neighbourhoods with 30K km, asking $86K CAD

[@BN99239]

@@shinwang2469 I know that's a fair price but it just feels like a lot of money since you can get something brand new for that money that is probably as fast if not faster...It also sucks because cars nowadays are pretty much 75% tech and software, so an older car really loses value quickly, if buyers care about tech.

[@shinwang2469]

Here's the funny thing...most people who say it's slow have never driven one. I have a zl1 camaro and a new zo6 corvette amd this car is still fun to drive and pretty quick. Is it supercar fast? Not really but it's much faster than anyone gives it credit for and it handles great! Also, you can tune it for 60 more hp. Also, it has a sport plus mode when you turn the traction off and a hidden launch mode that pushes 0 to 60 faster than what they say it will do.
