At that price, seems like your total monthly cost (including electriciy and insurance) could be under $300. That has to be one of the cheapest overall running costs for a new car and rivals even running a used Corolla or something.

Of course, the i3 has limited range and is fugly but at a certain price it kinda starts to make sense, no? I have driven them a few times and they're kind of fun (like any EV with the instant torque and regen). Also nice to sit higher up in a city-car. E golf is better looking but their lease rates are terrible w/ a super low residual.
Assuming the car works for your needs, that kinda looks like a smoking deal at first blush.
