Most of the time I can’t get enough of the i3’s cool ‘coach’ doors. Hinged at the front A-pillar and rear C-pillar they allow great access to the interior as there’s no need for a B-pillar (because its safety structure is built into the rear door) – except when you’re in a tightly packed car park.
As rear passengers can’t open the rear door without the front door being open first, a game of door-related ‘hokey cokey’ can ensue. It’s better than a two-door coupe, but the rear doors promise more flexibility than they sometimes deliver. Note to self: must frequent less busy car parks.
