Given your username, are you a CA? If so I'm glad you are nowhere near me.
LOL. My thought exactly. He probably doesn't even know what understeer is anyway. I find it funny when the i3 gets associated with excellent BMW driving dynamics (it's not bad), when most of the new BMWs don't even have BMW driving dynamics anymore, and the Volt gets assumed to be a poor driver (it's not). To take advantage of the i3's BMW driving dynamics, you'd need to get the car out into the countryside where there are actually good roads to exploit such car capabilities, however with a 80 mile range the i3 can't get out to such places to use its great driving dynamics, or at least can't get back...

Both cars are quite capable handlers in the urban environment they are designed to operate in.
