Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Best in class for equipment and lease price.
Costs
Only returning 42 to the gallon despite 80% of my driving being on motorways. Fleet car so unsure of other costs.

On the road
Driving
Plenty of grip but doesn't corner as well as the 3 series.
Performance
Pretty nippy but the multitronic box definitely takes the edge off acceleration and the whole driving experience. I've driven the manual version on several occasions and it was much more fun. Multitronic is great for motorway cruising though.

Living with it
Reliability
New gearbox at 30,000miles. Several other niggles including economy dropping 11mpg.
Image
Looks the mutts nuts. Much better than the new face lifted version.
Comfort
35,000 miles per year and I've had back ache ever since I got the car. Will be swapping it as soon as possible for something comfier. Have driven the SE version and this is much much better. Sport is not for mile munchers.
