I was at the launch event in park lane on Thursday. It's a great car, but I must admit that having seen it now, I am in two minds as to whether to proceed with the order. The main issues for me are that the boot space is tiny - not even big enough to fit the weekly sainsburys shop! Also the space for kids in the back is very compromised. I am not that tall, but if I had to leave space for my son's legs in the back, I wouldn't even be able to sit in the front passenger seat without bending my legs due to having to move my seat forward. With respect to the doors, whilst they may not be optimal in tight parking spaces, they are one of the great features of the i8 and I don't have an issue with them.

Speaking to our local dealer it sounds like they have already sold out the initial allocations.

Car is formerly released in July and the current lead time is estimated to be end of this year/early next.
