Seriously, if you are unsure about receiving attention, the car is probably not for you. You don't have to be an attention seeker, but you're not going to go unnoticed. I use the i8 as my daily driver, and it's awesome. But the constraints on luggage space are real. So suitcases and groceries can be an issue. Thankfully, my wife has a Volvo V70 T6 for those occasions. |

Just received my blue i8 (with pure impulse world package) last week. This car is amazing. Will post pictures after I have the ability to post (user level rights). I basically cause traffic to stop wherever I go…only downside is that I'm afraid to park it too close to other cars. Have limited my driving to only places I know I can control (places with valet parking, high-end shopping malls, etc.). It's more of an attention grabber than my Tesla P85D or my Bentley Continental.

I would cringe at the very thought of having my i8 valet parked. |

1) Limits the power, 2) Displays it is in valet mode, and 3) logs and shows the distance driven and number of times. Its all about discouragement. Mind you I still wouldn't valet park that car or the i8! |

Trunk space is tight for only car.

Agree. But only car and daily driver are different things. I use the i8 daily (and that usually means not a lot of luggage), but it's not my only car.
In fact, I'd say: if you want to daily-drive the i8, it should NOT be your only car. |

Having the 328d as a back-up is my individual formula. |
