Driving impressions
Drove one of the demo cars floating around. Was at Classic BMW today (thanks Milaad!) and will be BMW of Dallas tomorrow.
If you have a chance, it's a very interesting driving experience. Power is very linear, the car is extremely quiet, and barring unexpected things like red lights, you can drive it with just the gas pedal. When you lift off, the car slows and even stops, but it was easy to get used to and intuitive.
Details are great, the roof is exposed carbon fiber, something I hadn't caught in photos. The interior is very well done with smart storage space and great use of space. The rear seats are passable, probably akin to E36 sedan space, not huge, but fine for four adults to make short trips in (which makes sense because an i3 isn't going very far).
It's an interesting experience, I'm more interested in it having now driven it. The limited range and whacky REX are a personal concern, but I may have been swayed towards trying one out.
