 twentycrows's recommendation | |
I own a BMW 318 TI Compact Sport and overall I am quite pleased with it, the handling is absolutely superb! with well balanced chassis and nice powerful even braking.The alcantara seats are a nice touch in a bland cabin space, and although the ride is firm, it is by no way uncomfortable.
hmmm, well to kick off with fuel economy is very poor, especially on motorway runs! This is properly due to the very low gearing this car has....it is crying out for a 6 speed box!! That would then make this good car great!! Also the steering has no adjustment on it, am not saying it a particular bad driving position but sometimes its nice just to tweak it a little..am finding it very hard to find any real faults with this car after 6 months of ownership......
Overall i would say it was a great drivers car, very nibble, but some more power and an extra gear would be fantastic...
