Could I live with an i3?
Discussion
My company lease car is up for renewal and I've been seriously contemplating going for an i3 REX.
I currently have a Skoda Superb through the lease scheme, but I don't really need anything quite so large and my other half won't drive it either due to the size.
The car will be shared between myself and my OH during the week (she'll use it for her 3-mile commute when I'm in the ofice and I'll use it when I'm travelling on business). My business trips are usually around 200 mile round trips, but can be up to 400 - hence the REX. I travel for work 2-3 days/week.
I will use a separate car for driving to the station and for other local travel and the i3 will get used a bit at weekends for local duties mainly.
This is purely speculative because I'm waiting for a quote back from our lease company for an i3 and I may not actually be able to afford one! I'm hoping that the saving in BIK and contributions by my employer will offset the relatively high lease costs.

The regular fill-ups doesn't bother me actually - I used to use a motorbike for these long trips and filling up at the start/end of each long journey wouldn't bother me really.
I have to admit, the main reason I'm looking at i3's is purely aesthetic, I think they look fantastic inside and out. If this isn't a feasible option, I'd probably just go with a regular oil burner.
Generally when I'm making site visits, I'm not bombing down the motorway, usually 60-70 so 'making progress' won't really be in this cars remit.
