I'm going to accept that that is either just a matter of differing opinions or that the one I saw differs from the one(s) you've experienced. Suffice to say, I wouldn't spend $40K+ for the vehicle my dealer had. When I sat in it, I felt it was very much like a typical rental car.

I'll concede that my words above might be somewhat overstating the matter for I'll agree that the cabin of many rental cars, while not plush, are certainly acceptable for what they are and for what it costs to buy one as a consumer. As for the i3, there was in the one I sat in a lot more hard plastic inside the cabin than I'd ever expect or pay for in a car having the price an i3 has. The seats were cloth too, and though I don't mind cloth seats, their presence (and the particular material/design that I experienced) didn't for me imbue the car's passenger cabin with the feeling of luxury, or even near-luxury.

All the best.
