For the last time, it isn’t underpowered. It’s not a track car - neither is a Tesla. Even when the battery is ‘empty’, there’s plenty of power in reserve for a boost. You’re not going to run out on the street unless you’re driving really, really illegally.

It has skinny tires (comparably - 245 section tires aren’t exactly donuts), and on high-speed tracks, the batteries run out fairly quickly. But, a guy for one of the big auto comparo youtube channel places did a track comparo with a 991 GTS 4 recently, and actually came away quite impressed.

Umm, I must need to go look up the numbers on a V6 Mustang again, because I don’t remember them being anywhere near that fast...

Please, enlighten us with this i8 unreliability you keep harping on. The i3 is a hopeless mess of issues, but the consensus in the i8 community is that they’re actually very reliable.

The hate is strong with you, I can tell. It’s fine, you don’t know anything about it, other than the spreadsheets.

If you really think an i8 is a basically just a Honda insight with fancier bodywork, I don’t even have a response to you.

So, that’s quite a bit misleading. You can absolutely drive it from 100% charged down to it’s reserve threshold (I believe it’s around 16%) on nothing but battery. You only have to use gas if you floor it or drive above 75mph.

No. If you floor it, even in EV mode, the gas engine should come onboard. Or if you go 75+mph. Otherwise, electric only until you run out.

They sound... weird. You’re correct, unfortunately. I mean, it’s a 3-cylinder engine. Personally, if I’m going somewhere people are going to ‘see’ the car, I make sure to have enough battery in reserve to run in e-mode. I don’t think it sounds too bad (from the outside) when it’s running, but the weak little…

Yeah, the ‘worlds’ are more-or-less minor trim choices. ‘Tera’ is supposed to be the top, but it comes with brown leather. ‘Mega’ (I guess the still call the ‘standard’ one Mega?) comes with regular seats, in off-white or super-dark-grey, I believe, and then ‘Giga’ makes those perforated.

Come to Raleigh! I’ll even take you for a ride, if I’m around.

Yeah, Honda’s also beep at you for awhile if you try and get out (or maybe it’s drive away? It hardly ever happens) if you have the car running and the key gets out of range. Not sure what the deal is...

So, a car with phenomenal looks (and you can take that to mean ‘good looking’ phenomenal or ‘holy shit what is that?!’ phenomenal) that’s extremely well finished, nice to drive, has a cool drivetrain as a talking point, and is perfectly reliable isn’t worth as much as a moderately-equipped 911 or S-Class? Really?

Pretty sure all Accords from the 7th gen on (and 6th gens with a V6 and the 5-lug wheels) use the same bolt pattern. There’s a 6th gen V6 that lives near me with 9th (current) gen sedan wheels. Probably fit on the SUVs too (Pilot, MDX, Ridgeline, Oddysey), but not positive on that.

Ugh, *&#$%! Idler Pulleys.

It’s so funny how many of the comments are people pissed that you said ‘I’d rather have the Corvette than the 911' or ‘The Corvette is the better car than the 911'. Neither of which are things that you ever said.

I honest to God can’t figure out why you’re so bent on proving an understated, built-to-purpose twin-turbo V8 is just not as good as a shouty, ‘hey look at ME!’ twin turbo V6 that is not only slower, but in all likelyhood more expensive. Unless you need to ‘be a part of the club’, even as a bottom-feeding member, to…

Show me one time the higher badge gets beaten by the lower one (and, no, I’m not talking about a C63 being faster than the more expensive S250 CDI).

You’re really not making your point. Both the CLK550 and V6 Mustang are newer cars than the CLK55 and 4.6 Mustang that they don’t-quite-beat. Cars get faster as time goes on - similarly, an I4 Accord can do things the V6 Accord of yesteryear could only dream of (except be unimpeachably smooth). The S55 was less…

Lol, yes, the 500E/E500, where everything is a bespoke one-off, and the E36, where everything is a bespoke one-off.
