2014 BMW i3: The Quirky BMW EV of Yesterday
Today, I review one of my guilty pleasure cars. I have no idea why, (maybe it's the funky styling, or the weird interior) but I've ALWAYS wanted an i3, and I finally got to experience one. Enjoy!

      @@TopherParkerCars LOL. As a pretty much lifelong Ford guy I noticed it immediately 😁🤣 I loved my Freestar, it was an 04 Limited with all the goodies except the TV system. It drove beautifully, and if it wasn't for the salt completely destroying it I'd still have it. By 230k miles the subframe was completely wrecked, from the cradle having holes in it where the body mounts went, to the control arms and everything in between having holes in it. The rear wheel wells both had holes that went straight into the interior that you could fit a golf ball into. You could stick your hand from the outside into the trunk. It wasn't good. That's what Michigan does to cars, sadly.

Or even one that looks appreciably different to the point that you can say: "ah...now this is great plastic...much better than that other plastic." The styling is actually not that bad in these cars.

    Not at all surprising. Most people in the US would rather have to buy a new truck every 8 years for $80k because the "old one" rusted out on them than to spray the body panels and chassis with liquid rustproofing every year before winter season. Eastern Canada gets more road salt and calcium every year than the US rust belt, yet older cars & trucks look much nicer there and last 3x longer. Rustproofing for the win!

    Good video. Nice to see a younger driver appreciate the C4. Now for some constructive criticism if you want to get serious about C4’s. You missed a lot of the historic significance of the C4. The corvette was about to die as it had become a joke in the world of sports cars. The C4 came out and immediately changed that view, even with the 84 and its Cross-Fire Injection. The C4 matched or beat the performance and HANDLING specs of any of Europes best sports cars. The handling is anything but weak. The C4 was developed on the track and its handling specs beat the best from Europe. Its very respectable even by today’s standards. If yours is mushy, there is something wrong in the suspension. Given the duct tape OB the seats there is No telling what the previous owner did to the suspension. It’s totally ludicrous to ever compare a 40 year old sports car to a C8 or a modern European car. It would have been way faster if not for the ***# government. In addition, NEVER use the steering wheel to enter or exit the vehicle or you will destroy the steering column. Thats a C4 sin. As the new owner of a Corvette of historical significance i hope you will spend the many hours necessary to clean it up and fix the glaring cosmetic atrocities that exist in the interior and any mechanical issues that were not apparent in the video. The engine didn’t start properly and the duct tape on the seats is unimaginable. The previous owner should be flogged and banned from future Corvette ownership. I intend these comments to be constructive and informative. Overall good video and I hope you get much enjoyment out of your car, but it’s not going to come cheap or easy. Guess how I know that?
