I can't help but wonder if the Chevy Spark EV wouldn't be as much fun to drive as the i3 for a whole lot less coin. I mean all EVs demonstrate smooth torquey driving at city speeds and since full throttle generates no more noise and fuss than 3% throttle, you tend to use the power more than you would in a typical gas powered car. This is one of the reasons EV owners all tend to say their car is quick, when classic 0-60 measures don't back that assertion. Most EVs also have heavy battery packs mounted somewhat low in the chassis, which contributes to their surprising handling prowess (often ultimately restricted by the low rolling resistance tires). I'm just not sure how much the i3 is bringing to the table relative to its EV competition these days in terms of pure driving/car value.
