Previous replies have good information. Now that I3 is out of production I've noticed much less activity on various I3 forums.

We have a 2018 I3S Rex bought new, currently 40K miles. Only issue was a software glitch which dealer resolved with an update. Still no charging stations in frozen north so Rex was mandatory but it has been trouble free.

The S version is much more stable for highway driving at the expense of a harder ride, great on twisting roads though. Also the 20" S tires are summer only, need 19" snows for colder climates. Avoid 2017 as some have outdated 3G telecommunication modules which no longer work.

I would highly recommend the 2018 and later I3's for local (75 mile radius) driving, they are pretty well debugged by now. CPO would be great if you can find one. Also being small and light for an EV they are more efficient than most newer but heavier EV's.
