Coming from a Tesla Model 3…should I get a lightly used i8 as a daily driver? I’ve always been a BMW guy, this will be my 5th if I pull the trigger. I drive A LOT, and put 40k miles on the Tesla in a year and a half, just getting bored of it. Would going to an i8 be worth it? Just want to hear some opinions and feedback

        You don’t need a 7l V8 to be cool, I love driving my dads Lotus and thats a 1.8l but I’d still consider it a cool car.

          I need at least 3 liter 400+ horsepower engine with good exhaust in an entry level sportcar, not a joke 1.5l mini cooper engine dude.

            Thats too much for an entry level sport car, you can have a lot of fun with a decent size displacement engine like a 1.8l and they’re not even that slow, you put them down too much.

            Also 3l and 400+ HP how do you afford that? I have a 1.2l 90hp VW polo and I pay £4,000 insurance per year and over $7 a gallon of fuel which is affordable in the 1.2l but when I drive my mums 335i which is a 3l TT 320hp it drinks fuel at an unaffordable rate.

            And why do you need a big loud exhaust? there is no point unless you get a bit more power but then you can pay so much for an exhaust with so little benefit.

              What do you mean be „too much”? Today sportcars is 500-600 horsepower and more, my F Type S with its 380 hp is an entry level sportscar and nothing more. And no, you can not have a sportcar with a 1.8 engine.

              Why do i want exhaust in sportcar? Emm, its like asking why i want a burger with meat. Because its how it is made?

              I had 335i before and it’s fuel consumption is great for it’s power.

                Yes you can have a sport car with a 1.8l, the Elise is the definition of a sports car thats why its handling was compared to the Ferrari F50.

                Its not “how its made” there is plenty of sports cars without obnoxious and loud exhausts.

                I had 335i before and it’s fuel consumption is great for it’s power

                Its still drinks fuel but I will give you that it makes a lot of power.
