I didn't realize how tall the car was till I was stretched out inside, then parked it next to my 4x4 dodge Dakota. Then I got out without rolling to my knees. I was shocked. I drove a 2014 Nissan Maxima for a while. I used to roll out of the car because it was so low to the ground. Sucks for tall people. My truck.. I just slide out of the thing like a short person would do out of a tall chair. i3, I just pivot, stand, Ding! Sold!

I watched four RATHER large family members roll out of an i3. When I say large, it was all horizontal. When in vehicle, it had a 3.5” drop…. I believe they were mitigating said benefits of your circumstances…
The bigger question is, does your husbands embarrassment give you a sense of satisfaction? |
Not really.
It took a boatload of research before choosing the i3.
I was in the market for a new car and searching. I was going to go with a Lexus 300NT
THEN
A few months back we had a state wide gas shortage due a ransomware attack. Everyone panicked, went the the gas stations at the same time and drained the state.
:
Time to make the leap and supplement the household with (1) electric car.
Tesla: too expensive. Who's going to work on it when it breaks? I was scare of the cost to own one.
Nissan Leaf: no comment. Everyone agrees, right?
Chevy Volt: it's a Chevy/ GM vehicle… NEEEXT
BMW i3: it's a beemer. High maintenance keep researching.
Volkswagen E Gulf. Boring sucky looking
Hyundai Ioniq: can't be seen in a Hyundai. A feeling left over from their cheap cars in the 90s.
Mustang Mach E…. Too new. Let the recalls rip.
It all boiled down to test driving all of them…
i3 won.
