needs to replace his old VW Polo and is thinking an electric or hybrid (he is wondering about a BMW i3), but would consider a petrol.
Article says that for a tenth of the price of a new i3 he can have an A2:
Because another glimpse into the future was the Audi A2. Here was an all-aluminium high-rise hatch with premium-car quality and excellently frugal diesel and petrol engines. It only sat four but that is all anyone needs. I think Robin should buy a 1.4 petrol model, which is easy to own. A tidy 2002 model is just £3,000.
