Real world use: Back seats up or down?

[polyphonic]

I actually love the i3 design. I would love to be driving one of those. But in terms of the whole package, a new SE is so much more attractive than a 4-5 year old i3. Despite the i3 being body on frame, I also found the MINI to have better noise dampening.

Definitely agree on the Bolt. It's a great car, but if MINI fits your needs (e.g. if you have a second car for long trips, or excellent DC infrastructure) it will be more rewarding.

My seats have stayed down for 3 of the 4 days since we got it! lol

I actually really liked the i3 we had and I love the Mini so much more. The driving experience is much much better. I am glad as I almost bought another i3 instead.
