BMW i8 Review - A Hybrid Supercar? Should You Buy One?

Check out my latest video where I review a 2019 Audi RS5!    • 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback (B9) Review - Shou...   In this video I review a 2015 BMW i8. While it's a great hybrid sports car, I'm not sure I'd call it a "supercar". Would I buy one? Absolutely! Check out my POV test drive. What I liked: -Looks amazing! The aerodynamic shape is unlike anything else on the road -0-60 in 4.4 seconds makes it a solid performer -Secure handling and great grip despite having only 215 (front) and 245 (rear) width tires -Smooth, stable and quiet on the highway. A great road trip car! -Seats and interior are very comfortable -Excellent fuel economy, returning well into the 30 mpg range -The doors: Dihedral, scissor or butterfly doors - call them what you will - are super cool -Progressive brakes that feel good and stop well -Exhaust sound might be "enhanced" and assisted by microphones and speakers, but it sounds great -Easy to charge the battery to full in 3 hours with the basic 110V home charger -Cost to buy: Depreciation is your friend! You can pick these up in the $50,000 to $60,000 range now, quite a bargain! What I didn't like: -Not that fast; definitely does not feel like 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Though it's certainly not slow -Gas engine often comes on abruptly during acceleration -Doors may look cool, but they make getting in and out a challenge, ditto for the low and wide carbon fiber chassis -18 miles of battery range goes quickly
