25k miles / year. Is that possible with the i8?
Has anyone else bought this i8 to drive about 25000 miles every year?

Annual mileage
Don't know why not. With 25k/yr think of all the fuel you'll be saving in the i8. It's built to drive. Let us know how things progress and if you discover any M&R issues. Good luck and happy motoring.

I've had mine 5 days and already driven 868 fantastic miles
Showing average 35.6 mpg I drove 300 miles yesterday (mostly motorway) and found it a superior drive than the 640d m sport (2012 version) I had previously. All in all, it's a tremendous motor car! It's costing me around £40 per 300 odd miles

What residual value do you expect after 3 years?

I drive around 50 000 km a year (31 000 miles) and i8 is my primary car. So yes, my mile expectancy is quite close to 30 000 with i8. 1/3 of that arctic winter...

No one gives me a second look. Which is just fine with me.
