You just cannot do without the luxuries.
Don't worry about what they say. The fact that someone tried to compare the Tesla Model S to an M3 while also lamenting the fact that a tiny car which must fit 4-5 people and cargo like the i3 doesn't look as sleek and sexy as a huge 5/7 series size vehicle like the Model S is proof of that.. And while I'm on the subject of the Model S, it may look great but one of the sacrifices they had to make to achieve that sexy form is rear-seat headroom. At 6'3" I can't fit in the rear seat at all unless the Model S has the optional glass moonroof which extends headroom, I didn't have this problem in our F10 5 series or even the E60 5 series. Judging by the i3's proportions, I will probably be able to fit in it no problem.
