I could see why you need another car for daily use though. Getting out of that car is awkward.

Cool! That must've been fun. I liked the little giggle when you said "It accelerates pretty much instantly." A very bimmette style review. I like it. You should do more.

I could see why you need another car for daily use though. Getting out of that car is awkward.
I don't think it is- but I'm 5'10/ have a tight core so I found it not so awkward-

However- I do think I'm the perfect height for the i8. I've had both shorter males/females get out, as well as taller individuals who complained about it- but those from 5'9-6 ft all found it easy. Probably cause our legs reach the ground when shifting sideways without moving forward.

It's extremely ostentatious though. More so than the typical 458/hurracan. So that's the reason I'm looking for a daily again once im back from NYC- but definitely keeping the i8 for the full term of the lease- something I never did with either m6 I had.

Well...considering every single time you get in/out- the doors go up- it's a pretty frequent occurrence

I mean, while driving, no one really turns heads though. You made it sound like you were constantly gawked at while driving!

You are ( ask MKSixer ) though.

A few hours isn't fair to make that assessment. Perhaps you got lucky and drove it on a day where no one cared for it- or perhaps because I drove a special ordered m6 and was used to no attention in that- then the i8- it's a daily occurrence where people either ask questions or want to take a pic.

Have them lend it to you for a week and see if that doesn't change your mind.

Fantastic video, Tara! Great job.
I really like the color of the car they gave you, though I'm a bit biased...

bimmette He is right. If you keep it for a week and drive it in multiple settings you will eventually start dodging people. Mine is a known quantity around here and I still get gawkers and crazy photo takers. Yesterday it was some kid 2 lanes away snapping furiously. It gets really intrusive. I don't want to be in a bunch of people's photos.

We must rise and overcome the stuff that is unfolding in our country. The fate of the United States rests on our shoulders and the procurement of stuff. Do you accept this responsibility?
