Before I bought my 2015 i8, I had seen all the complaints that you mentioned, so even though I loved the tech and the way the car looked I had a lot of concerns. My main worry was a lack of power. My prior car was a 2013 F10 M5 with 560 (underrated) horsepower so I was used to a fast car. My first i8 test drive surprised me. With the electric torque delivery and great throttle response, it felt quicker than my M5. In 2015 Car & Driver and Road & Track both tested the i8 and got 3.6 and 3.8 to 60. That’s good enough for me. I’m sure that at higher speeds my M5 would pull away but I never drive over 100 so that doesn’t matter to me. Yes, the NSX is quicker, but it has almost zero electric range and I use electric mode a lot and would really miss it. Plus, I don’t think I would get 44 mpg in the NSX. I would also miss the back seat which my wife and daughter use for short trips and I use for shopping. BTW, I don’t have a problem with the doors because I NEVER park next to anybody. 😀 let the haters hate all they want. I’ll bet most of them have never driven an i8. I have owned many cars but this one is my favorite. I’m glad that you said that you loved the car at the end because I was beginning to wonder!

Another thing I hate: Have to bring the i8 in for service, got a warning light :(

I just rented an I8 for the weekend. It's so fun to drive and looks amazing gets tons of attention and compliments. If I had the money to buy one I'm on the fence. Getting in and out is kinda a pain in the butt.

Spot on! I wasn't aware that they included some storage space behind the seats. Great to see this. Thanks for posting.

[majidsiddiqui]

Great video. Reviews rarely show the storage compartments on this car, and the lack of storage can be a deal breaker. Thank you for spending time explaining the storage options.👍

[AKEUC-wl]

You do realise you can tune that 1.5 turbo to easily 500bhp + the electric motor you'll have a super killer

[JuliaI.-wfpw]

Wow. the only normal review! a normal video, an ordinary boy, no frills and unpleasant music. Thank you! make a video about the cost of maintenance and breakdowns of this mine. what do I need to know if I plan to buy it?

[DwainDwight]

I have one & my only issue is lack of storage to do road trips. it's my daily driver.

[GotherYT]

the advertised time for these 0-60 was about 4.2 however, with a simple tune and exhaust you can get it easily to 3.8 or more, and its possible to fit nicely wide wheels and tires on it and stiffer suspension since it's not air suspension like many new sports cars. After all of that It actually does have really good performance potential you just have to wake it up after buying one.

[Doco]

You should be thankful to have one of those, alot of us dream a car like that.

[alrock]

Man, I was thinking between the I8 and gle coupe. I just love how the I8 stands out in appearance but now you got me thinking

[dickyboyryw]

It's still a great car. Despite some limitations. The Roadster is a sexy convertible.

[skittlesgarage]

Have Alex Meyer tune your car and add a Pedal Commander. I have a draggy confirmed 0-60 of 3.7. And with those mods the take off torque from a standstill is awesome.

[fullyplantd]

Thank you for actually mentioning the doors and the practicality of them. Either people are just omitting to mention them or they live in areas with huge parking spaces.

[Bananaman]

It takes $150 dollars to charge per hour ? Please tell me I’m misunderstanding

[alexmarrero]

Will never understand the speed argument lol. If me and any other faster car are on the street, they're gonna look at me every time. I like looks over speed

[andrewgiovanni]

Black and white interior combination is kill it bro, wawww

[hotrung]
