perfect entry level electric car (used)
This is a surprisingly fun car. We bought it mainly to not feel guilty running the AC in car line - but got to appreciate it in various situation. The range isn't great, the flimsy tires need getting used to - but for what a used (ideally certified pre-owned) one goes for - I really don't think you can go wrong. Unless you live in a city and have good places to charge - it probably is not a suitable car as your only car - but it's a great addition if you don't depend on it for a 300 mile drive. Accelerations is fun, the car is a lot bigger inside than it looks. It has a little bit of a theme park ride feel to it at times.

Looks like a toaster, and it will toast you...
Overall, this car is meeting our needs. My wife likes to drive it, and the acceleration is amazing. The range is very limited, so even a short trip to a nearby city requires a stop at a recharge station. (10-12 minutes) Main complaint is that it get very very hot in the sun. The windshield radiates heat down onto the passengers, and the roof also gets very hot. This makes the car uncomfortable in summer. I am not impressed with the reliability. The electrical system in our vehicle has been quirky...sometimes the windows move by themselves. The AC light would not turn on, even if the AC was obviously running. (Dealer replaced it but it took some wrestling.) I still can't figure out how to set a few favorite stations on the radio buttons. Finally, and very annoyingly, the car quit working without warning recently while I was out on a short errand. Due to COVID I have not been driving it much, and apparently it can't keep it's 12V auxiliary battery fully charged in this case. This then quickly led to complete failure of the 12V battery and the car disabled itself. No warning. And apparently I am not alone, because the dealer told me there is a 3 week wait for a replacement battery! To me the engineering that went into this car is below BMW standards.

"The Ultimate Driving Machine" True. Fast! Quick!
Best first electric car I've owned! Love it. Fast and fun to drive. I love out-running the traffic. Quiet. It's so quick! Very safe! I love the range extender. I go everywhere and anywhere. Comfortable. Charges in 4 hours with my 220V charger. High performance.
