It fits 95% of my needs better. I work 3 miles from home, so an IC motor doesn't get coolant temp, much less oil temp on that commute. I frequently drive with coworkers to lunch, so the torture chamber of a back seat in a coupe isn't really ideal. I also bike a lot, so being able to easily toss in a road bike or 29er would be ideal, something that was possible in our E82, but not easy.

On paper, a Volt, Leaf or a Prius Plug in would be the ideal car for me, but they each just seem too much like an appliance, while the i3 potentially works better for me. Most of my bike trips are within 80 miles, so with the REX, it would be possible to cover all but the longer trips I currently use my car for, and honestly, we use the X1 for those anyway.
My commute is 3 miles and i lug an s65 around. Its ready by the last couple lights to romp on it. Sometimes i take the long way. Lol
