It's been a long four years coming, but the i8 Roadster brings open - top cruising to the i8's bag of tricks, which otherwise includes making a three - cylinder turbocharged 1.5 - liter engine sound great (perhaps the greatest sorcery of all), and yet at the same time delivering an all - electric mode that brooks no gimmickry, great handling, and surprising
driver engagement given the 28 mpg combined
rating and 76 mpge
rating when in electric - only mode — a level of efficiency typically reserved for numb, coddling commute - boxes.
Take into account that male managers text
drivers from a female persona to get a higher
engagement rate, and the mind games just feel a little... dirty.
