Experience the merino leather interior and effortless thrust, the perfectly sculpted ergonomics of the cockpit. Keep your over-priced, over-complicated, and over-sold fashion accessories - I am more than happy with my eighteen-year old Z3, which I can mend! If you need a tow, you know where to come! It's a real privilege and an event to look forward to, geting in the car for each trip and each trip is an adventure, as opposed to a mundane outing. That's enough power to move the i8 Coupe from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4. Buy a 2015 or up for the bigger gas tank. Years ago we had sailing ships then steam came along progress.
Great mix of quality cars, too. Start by storing food — for pets or humans — in sealed containers. Folks just can't quite make it all work in their minds when they view the car in its silence. I had a lot of questions, and Steve patiently answered them all, even days after the sale was complete. I'd probably do a flat black wrap and lightly tint the taillights to hide all those crazy lines. Cons: More range in electric would be nice. I was surprised by the low pressure environment and ease of working with these guys.
For a car that does not sell, that's pretty bad follow up as I gave them all my info. Remember mclaren got killed with depr and since this is hybrid with batteries it could be the same thing. Would by a newer one but newer model color choices suck! That being said I do like the look and idea of the car. I've been on the i8 forum and have seen your posts and. The warranty will be expired on many.
We would probably spend as much time staring at it like a masterpiece in an art gallery as driving it. So do you guys think Acura might offer trunk money or lease deal at end of year. The i8 Roadster has no rear seating like the coupe version does. If discounts are already 30k, what will a used msrp 180k car go for in 12 to 18 months. Here in France, Renault charges extra for the battery - every year, as it is only leased - like paying extra for an engine in a normal car! Make that high 70's now for 2014's with less than 20k miles. I would highly recommend this car! I'm actually surprised the i8 2014 value is still in the 77k range. At least not with the first examples of.
Besides getting in and out of the i8 not a big deal for me after driving one and explaining what it is every time I stop someplace, I think it would make a great commuter for me. The leather sports steering wheel comes with shift paddles, and heated seats are electrically adjustable. Under that beautiful body is a more powerful lithium-ion battery with a cell capacity up to 34 Ah from 20, and a rise in gross energy capacity from 7. Julie and I take turns when this happens escorting the persons to the car and opening the doors for them. The i8 Coupe is famous for the light weight and strength of its carbon fiber and aluminum construction and the i8 Roadster has pretty much the same attributes, packaged in a similar but not identical body. Professional, service oriented dealership with great cars.
I'm actually surprised the i8 2014 value is still in the 77k range. In the real world, few owners regularly saw an electric-only range higher than 15 to 18 miles. Navigation system Professional is standard and controlled through the latest iDrive 6. It's amazing how little value they hold, and they're all still under warranty t this point. I suspect this amount will go down a bit in the coming years as we try to keep the miles on this beautiful car low. We still must wait a little longer for the price, which we won't know until the cars get closer to market, and the cars themselves that will become available in the spring of 2018.
The front wheels are 22x9 inches and the rears are 22x10. Hi Mike, I drive an i8, yes I know the electrics will be interesting my day job is power electronics so I am not worried, the little 3 cylinder mini engine shouldn't be to much of a problem and it wont rust! I've been on the i8 forum and have seen your posts and. On each of these trips we had no chance to charge and the trips were made entirely on gasoline. There were only 555 I8 sales in 2014.

Sport mode is a hoot, with tighter, firmer steering, faster accelerator response, and a power boost.
I was concerned about this as I'm wanting to treat the i8 the right way, and brought the i8 into the dealership so they could double check on the service interval, they confirmed that I was 3900 miles from a service, however if I wanted to I could bring it in after 2000 more miles. I like the different driving modes. The other option is to wait a year or so and go used. I mostly drive in the hybrid mode but if I'm not, I'm in track mode. Unless you pop for a 220 volt wall hanger you better be prepared to wait. Only desperate dealers and demos will go that low right now but with diligent searches they can be had.
No major issues after three years of production. Make that high 70's now for 2014's with less than 20k miles. Keep up the good work. Daily commuter and pay for hardly any fuel. What do you guys think these cars will be worth 2 yeas from now? It's amazing how little value they hold, and they're all still under warranty t this point.
. I would certainly not buy a new type of car where there seems to be no important information available - for example, what is the projected or hoped for battery life, and how much will a new one cost? That was a month ago and have heard nothing. One guy posted that he found two such cars. The fact that you can drive all electric and then charge it up in sport mode as you drive is pretty cool.
