Good Points: Reliability. Motorway handling. Great looks.
Bad Points: Steering ball joint on way out now after 128,000 miles.

I am having to move on to a frugal Polo as I have a long commute each day. Any ideas as to average fuel consumption on this auto?

The car wasn't to bad on petrol but it was very basic, no air con, no electric windows in the back. When I sold it it was starting to get a bi ...

My Mum has a P reg silver Auto BMW 3 Series 316i Saloon.
Although it has done 150,000 Miles, it is still as reliable and durable as any other car. I seldomly drive it, But when I do, it feels like your in total control.
With Accurate steering, Good power, excellent Auto gear box and a very good safe feeling to it, it makes an ideal drivers car, with room for a few passengers.
However, fuel consumption on this model isnt that great. About 28-33mpg combined. Rear seats are limited in ter ...
