Because some of us don't need more range than offered by an i3 BEV and don't want to drive a car that's ~1,000 lb. heavier (the Bolt) and almost certainly less efficient.michaelbmw said:With the Bolt less than a year away, I don't know why anyone would get an 80 mile class car except at the kind of giveaway prices Fiat is offering.
That's kind of funny, I'm feeling the same way about the BMW after considering the problem I've had with my i3.redbarn said:GM are not renown for getting new cars right in the first model year, quite the reverse.
So the wise will not consider a Bolt until at least the 2nd year.
So a 2017 I3 with more range will look very tempting when our lease ends in 2017.

I was just offered a 3 year lease on a 2015 Rex, Tech package, Parking Package, Tera for $3k down, $290/month. Seems like a deal on a $53k sticker car. I want to push on the $3k to see if there is any more wiggle room. I'm hoping to take off some of the $700 paperwork fee if nothing else.
I have a Leaf leased now, on a month to month extension through December but this is less than the monthly payment on it. Still, I can wait if a bigger drop is expected.
