Wow. So considering the i3 is an econobox for all intensive purposes, most other manufacturer's econoboxes probably get 50,000 to 60,000 out of a set of tires. At $600 per set I calculate the abnormally high tire wear of the i3 costs about 18,000 in lost miles (2.5 extra sets of tires) as compared to an econobox averaging 30 MPG and gas at 2.50 a gallon. That doesn't seem very economical to me.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
