It would be a step up from the 1999 Chevy Metro I'm currently using as a commuter. It is a very basic car from what I hear though. If the Leaf doesn't do it for you, the iMiEV certainly won't impress.

EV’s can be a great bargain used. The used Volts were the same price as new ones after the tax breaks when I bought mine but that is not the case now. They are all coming off lease and getting cheaper by the day.
The 2016 Volt is expected to come in cheaper than Gen 1. That will depress the used prices even more.
No matter what one you buy used can be a great way to go and you can get payback much faster.
Less than 8k sounds like a very good bargain.
