Sport, yet refined

Went from a Honda civic, so naturally am impressed with the handling of this well made auto. It has plenty of power, with excellent cornering and braking. Everyone in the family says it makes me look younger!

From a MINI to a BMW

I have driven BMWs before and it seems all the interiors all pretty much the same. I would like to have nicer buttons for the radio. Also, I am very disappointed that the mirror on the sun visors do not have lights. What a bummer for such car! Response is awesome compared to the MINI but the mileage per gallon consumption went down 25%. The handling of the car does not compare with the so much fun go- kart driving of the MINI. I guess I compromised on that. Overall I am happy with it.

Powerfull, small but big enough

2009 BMW 1 Series 135i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Made a switch from Audi because we wanted a small coupe. We have a TT and it is wonderful but does not have usable back seat. We got the M package of the 135i. This car has a very smooth powerful engine. Turbo lag is hardly noticeable. Took it on a 1100 mile trip and found it to be a very nice drive. Quiet, comfortable seats, small and maneuverable. It is a great car. Run flat tires have not been a problem so far with only 4000 mi. I would buy again only I would not buy jet black paint. It shows everything and scratches easily.

The 2009 BMW 128i is great fun to drive--Period. Easy to maneuver, it is a pleasure in New York City. An unexpected benefit is its ability to use a smaller than usual parking space in Manhattan. With its rear wheel drive it is not especially good in the snow and its small rear seat is useful only in a pinch by a fairly dexterous person. I love it.
