First look at an i3.Surprisingly short wait for test drive!

Hi all

First post here. I'm interested in an i3 as one of the few 'real' cars that's congestion charge exempt. (It needs to be a range extender as I can't easily charge at home.) Given all the talk about delays, I was quite surprised to be offered a test drive (by Coopers Croydon) at a date of my choice in the next 10 days!

I'm sure I will love the car so much will come down to a) how much a PCP would be and b) how much more I think it's worth than an Ampera/Volt (which is quite heavily discounted at the moment)...

Hi,

We'd read the same as you... long wait for test drives... but in fact had no issues at all... (outside of London though)...

We ended buying the i3 BEV for my wife back at the start of Jan... HP charger... Heat Pump... and on 3 years PCH... (8000 miles a year, it's only for a commute each day)..

Came out just over £300... which we were very surprised by...

The only disappointment so far is delivery not until Mid July... but no rush...

My model S wont arrive until Sep at best I think so July is not so bad...

Mark.

Thanks, that's helpful. Maybe the (££) gap won't be as large as I'm expecting...
