Go for the four-door 5

For long-distance use, unless canine companions or once-a-year trips to the dump are involved, the answer is to buy the 530d saloon with folding rear seats. Then wait for both the technology to evolve to the next generation of electric mobility and the power produced for charging the cars to catch up to be from sustainable sources rather than fossil fuels. Different story for city/short-range use, where the i3/Zoe/ Leaf do stack up.
