The Bridgestones also come with low tread from new.

Michelin are a much better tyre in the i3 sizes. However there are a few fitting different, “more normal” sized and more readily available tyres on to the 20” i3s wheels. Apparently can effect efficiency slightly, but improves handling too.

I’ve struck to standard spec on my 19’s thus far

Glad you’re enjoying the car

How slowly are you driving hehe

I'm guessing you are using eco pro+ with no heating or aircon?

Heh-heh, just normal eco mode, mostly burbs stuff with some country roads and little dual carriageway. Heater was on 16C, even switched the a/c on later on to check if it actually works....!

As per earlier post, efficiency had slowly climbed from a pretty steadfast 4.5 up to 4.7. This weeks running around has brought it up to 4.8 m/kWh. That's just over 2k miles since purchase and it's slowly getting warmer-ish which is helping.

Even got some tunes onto the built in hard drive which is a first for me!

Very impressive range on that i3.

What model year is that?

I know 2013 or 2014 cars can't achieve that.

My 21 plate Seat Mii is going back in June, super cheap deal in pandemic but no option now to further extend. Had a test drive in the new MG3 hybrid and was pleasantly surprised with its acceleration and comfort. Will most likely look to get in to one of these for the next few years
