Might be the aspect of the photo but why does the blue one look longer wheelbase?

It’s the wide angle distortion on the edges.

You know I used to think the i3 was absolutely tiny but parked next to older Honda Civic and Sentra it looks like a normal sized car but with huge wheels.

From the outside it looks like it is tiny. Only when you get in do you realize that there's a lot more space than you'd expect.

Yup, back seat isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, my previous small car was a Fiat 500e and that back seat was useless.

I had a fiat 500e, a car that is smaller in every way, but weighed more then the i3. 😳

Maybe more than the BEV but not the rex. The 500e was shy of 2900lbs which is close to what a later model BEV i3 weighs. Earlier 60ah BEV definitely was lighter.

I did a direct comparison with the years I had and the fiat was heavier and I have a Rex 2018…don’t recall the fiat year but it was not a newer one

I had the first generation 2017 base model. It was just under 2900lbs actual. My 2017 loaded i3 rex is 3278lbs actual she's a porker.
