2017 BMW i8 review

By: Emme Hall - CNET

THE GOOD Incredible design both inside and out and a top-notch navigation system. The electric motors make all the mid-range torque you could possibly want.

THE BAD It's relatively slow off the line and there aren't many driver's aids to speak of. Oh, and it's pretty spendy, too.

THE BOTTOM LINE The BMW i8 is a mostly engaging ride from a unique hybrid powertrain, but those looking for flat-out speed should stick to old-fashioned petrol.
