2013 328i
This is my 3rd 3 series. As a few have commented, the interior of this car seems to be a step backward from prior models. Other than that...it is a delight to drive. I have 39,000 miles on my 2013. It is a thrill to drive...although different from my 2001 and 2007. Gas mileage is very good....27 in town....36 on highway...with plenty of power. Bottom line....I'm very pleased with this car. Someone earlier compared it to a Corolla. Pure Hyperbole!! I now have 70,000 on my 328i. Had one repair order for around $200. The tire monitor receiving unit failed. It is a plug and play replacement. With 85,000 miles...it remains a 'sweet ride'. No issues. Truly the best car, for me, I've owned. All three of the 3 series I've owned...have been the rear wheel drive model. And with decent snow tires....all three have performed extremely well in our snowy winters, both in town and in the mountains. There is no hesitation in driving in bad weather with these cars. At 130,000 I traded the car on a new X3. This was one of my all time favorite cars. RWD with snow tires in Colorado was all that was needed.....and yes, it was my ski car.

Great Car
I was a previous 3 series owner, 2009 328xi. The straight 6 cylinder does sound different, the 2.0 liter turbo does fine. The 2009 felt more solid to me and I actually liked the hydraulic steering. My wife tells me she hated my old car and loves my new car. Go figure. If you are a new BMW owner I think you will like the car, the power and technology. The car has an auto start/stop feature which I had the dealer remove, I wasn't a fan. There are three driving modes, Eco, Normal and Sport. You will take off like a rocket ship in Sport Mode, I think it might be too much throttle for the weight of the car. Eco is actually not too bad and you save some milage which is always good.

Do not fear the 4 Cylinder!
I had a 2003 325i for 9 years before the repairs became too costly. I loved the drive, but jumped to an Infiniti G37x seeking more room, interior refinement, and reliability. The G just didn't do it for me from a performance perspective though, so back I came. I surprised to see BMW went to a 4T, but once you drive it you won't know it. Quiet, smooth, and fast, plus it gave me a 9 MPG bump over my G and old 325. You get to 70 mph and think you're doing 45. The cabin is quiet, the engine is quiet, and its all BMW. The steering is softer (not soft, though), but gets tighter with speed. Even at lower speeds though, it is responsive.
surprisingly good for what is essentially an entry-level, detuned 328i
it came down to the audi A4 quattro and this car. i almost got the audi, save for reliability issues that i had heard about. at first, i wasn't that warm to the idea of the 320i, being that it was a detuned, stripped-down 328i. but after a test drive, i was reasonably impressed and decided to go that route. handling is nimble, car is quick enough, and it handles like a BMW, though softer than my old manual-transmission E46 325ci. mine is a base model with basically only the moonroof and the power front seats with memory as the only options. stripped-down and basic, but that's all i needed for a commute that was four miles to/from work each way with no freeways.
Extremely costly once your warranty expires!!!
First, please know this is not a gripe review. This is just factual. I absolutely love everything about this car except its reliability. These are the problems I've had with it: * 23,000 miles: Steering column rubbing/squeaking noise. This occurred during the warranty period and was taking care of. * 51,700 miles: Turbo actuator fails. Costs me $750 at the dealer since I was out of warranty. I called corporate seeking assistance. They declined to cover even though it was just out of warranty, they have a hard line, so they declined to help. * 52, 900 miles: The steering noise is back - dealer will not cover it. This is just a nuisance, so I declined repair. * 54,300 miles: Engine begins smoking during routine city driving. Valve cover gasket $902.79 + Oil filter housing gasket $656.99 for a total of $1,576.40 with tax. This is a very fun car while it's new, but just know that the glamour dies out quickly. Honestly, I regret not buying another reliable Honda/Acura. I still own my 2001 TL which now has over 417,000 miles on it!

Great Car for the "Mature" Hot Rodder!
Personal Background: Former USMC pilot who's always been a "motor head" at heart. Previously owned numerous motorcycles (including 6-cylinder KZ1300) and performance cars (including Porsche 914/6 - a near perfect car for its day). Now older, expected to act more mature & "within my current station in life" (though I don't want to) as a stalwart, semi-conservative, church-going member of my community . This car is a perfect fit for that scenario - looks appropriate for someone in a suit & tie, but can still tear it up when you want! POSITIVES: My car is an early production model for 2013, having been built in South African & bought by me in April. It has the seven speed automatic transmission - not the manual. I refer to my 335i as a "stealth" street racer (with a luxury interior). With the lower curb weight and same turbo 3.0 liter six-cylinder (N55) engine, it out-performs the larger 535i and a few others of the 6- & 7- series cars. Considering that 95% of my driving is done with myself, or self & wife (5'4", 105 lbs), the car is plenty roomy. I've even had four full-sized adults in it for a 200 mile (3 hour) trip and no one made comments about lack of space. Actually gets better mileage when on the Interstate running at about 80 MPH (West Texas & Utah), than down in the lower speed limits (65-70 MPH). Goes where you point it & stays there! The three different driving modes (Sport/Comfort/Economy) are great. Most driving in Comfort range, but when I want some fun I put it in Sport mode - where it can be a terror (but fun to drive)! CAUTION: Do not "stomp" on the accelerator (in either Comfort or Sport) unless you have both hands on the steering, wheel! It will literally throw you back into your seat when you do (first time I did it I wasn't paying attention, had only one had on the wheel & was entering a transition curve from one freeway to another - I almost lost it). It really is "The Ultimate Driving" machine in that I've taken it round trip from San Diego to the East Coast three times (average of 6000 miles in three weeks, or less) in the almost three years I've had it. That doesn't even begin to count the number of times I've taken it from San Diego up to San Francisco (550 miles one-way) & back on weekends. In each case I was able to make the drive with very little fatigue at the end of each day's driving. The most distance I've covered in a single day in the 335i has been 1100 miles (one day of driving on one of the previously mentioned coast-to-coast trips). NEGATIVES: It took my dealership multiple tries to get my alignment correct in that I was always wearing the front tires on the outside edges (Yes, I was keeping all tire pressures per manufacturer's specs) and on the inside edge of the rear tires. I had to work to get 40K miles on a set of tires (not cheap at about $1200 every time a new set goes on - for the least expensive Michelin tire model recommended for the 335i). I finally made adjustments to my tire pressures (increased the front & reduced the rear) resulting in the tires wearing (slightly) longer & much more evenly - with no apparent degradation of handling/performance! My headlights always look like their aimed too low, unless on high beam, but I've been told (numerous times) they're set correctly. I'm still not excited about the automatic shift lever where you have to pull it back toward you when you want to go "forward" (out of park/neutral) and push it forward when you want to go into "reverse," but am now used to that (in fact I know that is the historical European throttle setup in aircraft, so guess it makes sense to the Germans). Other than tires, I've only had to replace a few smallish parts that have worn out/broken after over 5 years & 125,000 miles. Finally replaced front brakes, but original rear brakes still good (maybe I'm easy on brakes). Right rear tail light lens had to be adjusted within about 18 months (kept coming loose), but easy fix on that (covered by warranty). OVERALL: Car has been rock solid and one heck of a bunch of fun to drive! Get one if you get the chance (a bunch should be coming up for sale after finishing their 3-year lease with original drivers). When I purchased my 335i my expectation is that it would last for at least 8 years and go for 250,000 miles and it looks like it will easily make that (I also have a 2003 Ford F-150 that is now 16 years old & has just under 440,000 miles on it), since we're now at 5 years and I have over 125K on it. My wife is using it for her daily driver in a major Calif metro area and loves it for that. I take it out on the weekends and drive all the country roads in the area (of which there are plenty) since I'm now retired and do not put the miles on it I used to! We still take it on the occasional long weekend "out & back" & it runs like a champ!

Sold me on BMW
I once thought that BMWs were the ugliest cars on the road. Then, their recent styling and interior updates, in addition to actually test driving one, got me hooked. Coming from a Taurus I wasn't sure what to expect; but the feeling I get in one word is "solid". Solid power, handling, materials, tech, comfort: much more of a driver's car than any I have driven. I drove 100 miles today through snaking rural roads in N. Alabama and S. Tennessee, and I was convinced I made the right choice. The Taurus was cavernous without a center console, and the 328i not so much with the driveshaft in the way, but plenty of room for a 6'2" 300 lb guy who likes space. I can't wait to go to Greenville...
My 1st BMW
I've bought Acuras since 1986, and I decided not to buy a BMW in 1992. I decided to buy the 328ixDrive instead of a 528ixDrive, Acura TL, Audi A6, and 2013 Lexus ES350. I've had my 328iXDrive since September, and I've put approximately 2K. I love driving this car. It's fun to drive and runs great. Car has Luxury Line, with Cold, Technology, Premium, and Driver Assistance Packages.
True sports sedan
I have my car for a week today. I custom ordered my car in August. I ordered a loaded Mineral Gray sports model with red leather interior and black trim. This car has exceeded my expectations. The car is striking inside and out. This car handles and rides better than any car I have ever owned(G35, M35,CLK350 etc...). In comfort mode it is a small luxury car in Sports or Sports + mode it's a sports car. The Harmon Kardon sound system is fantastic. The xenon lights are a must. The transmission with shift paddles is fantastic. I-drive has been perfected. Heads up display is the icing. Averaging 28 MPG in mixed driving and on the highway at 70MPH I am getting 35MPG.
The car they warned you about. They were WRONG!
Well, first things first, I pretty much had a good idea what I was getting involved in when I decided on a BMW. I've worked on a few different models in the past, including an engine rebuild and cooling system replacement. I've heard all the horror stories, and read most of these very reviews on Edmunds. There were some doubts placed in my mind for certain! But I ultimately decided to take a small leap. I managed to find a gently used metallic bronze CPO '13 328i XDrive in immaculate shape from a dealer that gave me more for my Crosstrek than anyone else in the area. So far, the car has been perfect; not one single issue. Except for one small scuff on the soft leather seat...my fault but covered under warranty. Runs great, great mileage, unbelievable handling, fast enough, attention getter...to me it just seems like a good daily driver. Though it is under warranty and I went ahead and purchased the extended warranty, I've already acquired all the tools and knowledge I need to repair nearly everything. I only wish it had a manual transmission. Not a deal breaker, though. The insurance cost surprisingly is what drove me to this car (pun intended). 2016 Mustang 5.0? 600 bucks more a year. 2016 Subaru WRX? 615 bucks more a year. 2013 328i? 12 bucks more a month than my friggin Crosstrek! I'm only angry I didn't buy a BMW sooner. Fuel mileage has been stellar. I had to drive from Virginia to New Jersey, about 300 miles or so, for work. Averaged 35mpg's and over 75mph. In my opinion, if you are the kind of person who can work on their own vehicles, the maintenance costs aren't much more than a Subaru or Toyota. If you're the kind of person that expects a car to go 100k miles with nothing but oil changes...better stick with Toyota. Performance? Coming from a Crosstrek, it feels like a rocket. Feels just a bit slower than my old Mustang, but MUCH more composed and smooth in the corners. Need more speed? 335i or M. Comfort? The seats are fantastic! I drove the Crosstrek to Miami from Virginia...once. I was in a lot of pain. Driving the BMW? I was ready to party in South Beach when I arrived. I will say I personally don't trust a 10k mike interval between services, so I change my oil in between. They're not hard to work on yourself...unlike Audi's.

Best car I've ever owned
Great acceleration, firm ride, hugs corners, excellent sound system and entertainment controls. A little tight to get in and out of (and I'm 5'10", so much taller would be really tight).

The Good, The Bad, and The Unexplainable
My last two sedans were Honda Accords (2003, 2010). At age 58, I wanted a "luxury" car while I was still young enough to enjoy it. Considered Merc C class and Audi A4 but BMW3 test drive clinched it. Felt just right. Been two months and over 3500 miles. Great fun to drive except for the auto stop feature and some very annoying "unexplainables." This is my first BMW so I probably don't have the right BMW perspective to understand them. But now, when I come across something that doesn't make sense to me, I figure a BMW engineer must have designed it. Despite great drive, not sure I'd buy one again. I hate the surprise engine shut downs when I sometimes forget to turn auto stop off.
Perfect daily driver for a car enthusiast
After owning just about every car enthusiast type car you can imagine that’s usually modified and driven hard, I’ve owned it. Every car I’ve ever had it’s been pushed to the absolute limit and some over Then I bought a 2013 328i xDrive in 2019 Honestly love the car to death. For being a 2.0 turbo it’s honestly very quick the torque gives it the initial kick it needs before hitting boost to make the power band feel very linear and controlled yet dramatic enough to give the joys of driving a turbo car hard. Yes, the 335i is much faster, yes the older 3 series handle much better, yes newer and bigger bmws (5 series) ride much nicer but this car is the perfect in between car. It handles great even with all the electronic assists you’d think would ruin the driving experience it handles great for being a 3800 lb German barge and goes exactly where you want to go. It has the pickup and straight line speed to be impressive to a lot of people. And you can easily drive it to the store and back and to the mountains or beach on the weekends, or across the country for holidays. I can take this on a very spirited drive through the mountain roads and with 100% confidence take a road trip with ease and comfort. I’m active duty military and have driven this car ~30k miles in the year I’ve owned it just from traveling and driving while I was at the base I was sent to and I have never stepped outside in the morning wondering if it’ll get me to whatever destination I have in mine whether it’s 5 miles away or 500. Yes it has its issues but for what it is, it’s pretty dang good

Great Entry Level BMW
BMW definitely delivered when they redesigned the 3 series. I dig the added length and wheel base. I have the M-sport edition w/prem and cold wx pkgs to include nav, rear cam, HUD and the Harmon Kardon sound. I love the Estoril Blue color and stylish M-Sport Wheels. The sound system is awesome! Storing music is a snap. All the features are easy to use and the idrive system makes integrating all of the features a snap! Only problem so far is a steering issue that whenever I turn the wheel to the extreme right-hand position. There is a clicking noise. I'm not worried since the warranty will cover this and the mechanics will fix it, but it's a bit displeasing to say the least!
My 1st BMW: Where Have You Been All My Life?
I am the second owner of my 2013 328i. I found it with 35K miles on the clock, and it was just about perfect: Sport Line, Premium Package, Navigation, and 6 speed manual, Glacier Silver outside, Black Leather with Red Accents inside. As the Germans would say, "Schoen". Then there is the drive: surprising power and quickness and the wonderful 50/50 weight balance that make the car so fun to drive. At the same time, you can comfortably and serenely commute or ferry passengers in it. Plus, good fuel economy; in very mixed driving, I consistently get 25-26mpg, and that is with the car in Sport Mode 95% of the time. So, yes, I really love my BMW; however, my love is not blind. Among the things not so good are the halogen headlights. Almost unsafely dim with the stock bulbs, so I upgraded to the brightest bulbs I could find. Additionally, the base Hi-Fi audio system is not so great. It lacks midrange, and Sirius in particular can sound muddy. For reliability, besides a couple of warranty repairs (bad fuel injector, then fouled catalytic converter), my car has been relatively trouble free. Being a BMW, yes, service and parts will cost you more. I am going on the mantra of keeping up with the maintenance so as to avoid big issues. You can pay dealer prices, you can find a good independent BMW specialist, or you can even tackle some repairs yourself. In sum, there is no free lunch, but I feel the rewards of driving my 328i outweigh the pains.

Great car - 72,000 trouble free miles
This car has been great to own. Not a single unscheduled maintenance so far and since it is my first BMW, I was very worried about that. Best features are fun to drive, idrive, reliability and great gas mileage (36+ mpg on interstate). Great highway car. Only thing I really don't like about the car is the leatherette on the seats. It is cheap and once it gets hot, does not cool down for a long time. Makes for a lot of sweaty drives in the summer with my back sticking to the seat through my shirt.

2013 BMW 328i xdrive
I've had this car for 1 1/2 years now, have about 22,000 miles on it. Bought it because I have to commute about 50 miles to work each day, highway driving, and I wanted something that would feel safe (especially for winter driving), comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Very happy with this car. Favourite feature is the engine -- accelerates so nicely, for passing trucks and making lane changes. Built in bolts attachments for a roof rack were a nice surprise, makes it easy to transport my bikes. Bluetooth works really nicely for talking on phone hands-free. No real negatives. Engine seemed loud at first, but I don't notice it anymore. Get the heated steering wheel for cold winters!
Great in Minnesota Winters
I am really enjoying the car. I only have 7,000 miles on it so far of mostly extreme cold weather driving and it has been great. Not one single issue or visit to the dealer so far. The AWD system is better in snowy conditions than any vehicle I have owned, and that includes a modern Subaru system, a Grand Cherokee, and two Toyotas, (one AWD the other 4WD). It is very confidence inspiring in snow and ice, the electronic nannies do a great job. Gas mileage has been surprising for how well the car performs. In winter at temps of 10 below, still managed 24mpg in an AWD car. When the temps get about 40 mileage hits low thirties for me but I drive like a sane person. Excellent car.
Jack of all trades- master of none!
This car requires a lot of optional extras to be worthy of a BMW badge. I have the 335i with msport package, adaptive m suspension, and the variable sports steering as well as most of the tech options. If you're a driving enthusiast, PLEASE make sure your car has these options or you will be disappointed and feel ripped off. If you're just a law-abiding, eco pro using commuter, then by all means get a base 3 series with the tech package and you'll be content. I feel like this car can handle DECENTLY, provide DECENT comfort, and has DECENT build quality. It's not a master of anything; I see it as a "jack of all trades". Good daily driver though.
I like my older 3 more now
I first fell for BMW in 2008. I purchased a 328xi. I was impressed with the sporty and solid road feel, refined-smooth-sounding power, and overall impressive build quality and materials throughout the cabin. I acquired another one in 2011, but noticed a very slight decline in materials...sun visor were plastic-like instead of cloth, and the nifty, cost-saving "Rest" feature was removed. After driving a 2014 for one month, I'm so glad I didn't trade my 2011. Car sounds loud and odd, feels cheap, and the size of the vanity mirror is smaller. Stereo system quality has declined (lack of depth), and steering feel reminiscent of my grandfather's Buick. BMW has skimped on quality with this one.
2007 Bmw 335 XI Sedan
If you are looking for reliability, Do not buy a BMW... Stick to Honda or Toyota if reliability is your thing. Not just this one, Any BMW. I am a car guy, I've had 31 cars and 3 motorcycles in 18 years. BMWs are fun to drive, and they look awesome. But they are extremely over priced, and for that reason, they don't hold their value! That's why a 45.000 BMW drops to 15.000 in a few years. Because they are known money pits! When they are new, obviously everything is great. But just like any other vehicle, BMW's also break. This vehicle was engineered with too much plastic. Even the cooling system is made up of plastic! The price to maintain is extremely overpriced, even if you own a mechanic shop. I don't pay retail price for parts due to my automotive repair shop parts account, And still, the parts are absurdly expensive. Ready to pay $200 for a plastic hose? or $864 dollars for a transfer case solenoid that's made of 80% plastic that is guaranteed to fail? Just complete garbage

2013 BMW 328i not happy
I want to know what happened to the steering my 2007 with almost 200,000 handled better than this 2013. I feel like I am driving a econo car with crappy steering, and it sounds like a flutter in the engine. Not to mention it turns off at every stop, so annoying. Why they put a 4 cylinder with turbo in it instead of the 6 cylinder I will never know. The car is beautiful, has more room inside, and the trunk is bigger,some nice features like adding music from cds and phone or mp3 is nice. But I die a little bit every time I drive it, I yearn for the solid feel and steering only BMW had.

Better, but not because it’s Faster
This was our sixth BMW. I had traded my first, a red 2004 330iC that was the fruit of a three-state search to get the right colors and options, and have regretted it ever since. I had replaced it with an ill-considered private party black/black 330iC that had been abused, and which my wife hated. She told me to find a red BMW that was still under warranty and dump the black car. I found the 2013 335i with M-Sport Package at an independent lot. It is by far the superior car in nearly every way. It is roomier, more luxurious, faster (I found the Car and Driver raw data sheet from their road test and it’s as quick as the legendary E39 M5 V8!) and still relatively compact and maneuverable in tight quarters. I do miss the 330’s SMG and its instant rev-matched downshifts. I still turn around to look at it when I get out, so its looks please me. The greatest joy I had from the red 330iC was the intuitive way it responded to steering with the throttle accelerating out of the tight bends on US1 between Ragged Point and Bixbey Bridge. With the added power of the turbo 3-liter of the 335i, that ability remains, but it’s less intuitive, and more demanding. The newer car can do that in fast sweepers, and my meager skills leave me reluctant to explore those capabilities. Finally, around town, the 335i struggles to achieve 15 mpg. On a totally irrelevant note, mine is the only example of this model I have ever seen that has red M-Sport brake calipers, and I live where 3-Series BMWs are as common as Camrys.

A Great Value for What you Get= Awesome ride with an all around set of features
Calling a BMW just a car is like calling Da Vinci just a guy. This thing is fun to drive, has the practicality of all wheel, and man its gas mileage is sweet! My favorite part is the Dynamic Dampening COntrol. It is like having three cars in one. Pop it into Sport and hug some turns or blaze onto the freeway. In eco it is a tame gas savings machines. There are enough bells and whistles to keep everyone happy too. When you look at all the features and all the things you get, it really is a good value. It just happens to be an expensive car. My piece of advice is to go with the msport package, it looks sick!
Perfect for a businessman
Sedan is designed to place everything you need close to you. Car sits lower to the ground. The turbo makes acceleration exilerating. They is no storage, no cup holders, a minute space in the glove box and arm rest.

Feels like a luxury civic
I have 2009 335i sport. Sold and got the 2013 328xi sport.big mistake. This car looks nice and the interior is perfect but the performance is dull. Its not a fun car to drive at all. If you want power, performance and handling,get a 335i sport, you will enjoy every minute of driving. If you want comfort and soft ride,then this is for you. Glad i still have the z3.

Be kind to yourself...
Be kind and run away from BMW cars and Suvs!! This 2013 is my 4th Bimmer and my last. The enthusiasts drive is no more in 90% of what they make. And so...the problems and piss-poor dealership chain make it a brand no longer worth buying. 1st, I do my own maintenance. Without this I could not afford one (or I just refuse to pay $1000 per service visit. I don't know how they always bring the bill to $1000, but they do). I could go on and on how BMW hates the owners but I won't. 2 examples: most 06-2011 had failed electric water pumps, cost of repair at dealer 1200-1600 USD, and wheres the crankshaft sensor on a 2013 335i? Inside the starter. What? Good luck if you buy a BMW that's now built by marketing, legal, and engineers, not car people.

Neutered BMW
This is my 5th 3 Series & least impressive. In all fairness, the underwhelming ride is less of a reflection on BMW and more to do with compliance with the emissions laws. Aesthetically, the car is beautiful. The issue I have is the light, japanese rental car feeling it has relative to the ones I have had in the past. I definitely miss the inline 6 engine. I mean who puts a 4 cylinder into a performance car?
3rd and last 3 series
After owning for several months I think it is time to leave a review. Previously owning a 00 330i and 06 330i I was excited to be getting my first 335i. This car has been a disaster. It left me stranded on the side of the road at 900 miles after overheating, the entire fan system had to be replaced, the passenger side mirror is already broke and does not move, there is a constant vibration and rattle in the steering column, there is dull spots in the paint where it looks like it wasn't clear coated properly. I have already had this car in for repair's twice and without it for two weeks. Compared to my 00 and 06 this one does not even come close to the build quality. At least it looks nice.
Peppy fun car to drive!!
The BMW navigation is a little difficult but I have no other complaints about the car. We bought this for a weekend fun car and for our adult kids to use when they were in town.

The new Corolla in the form of a BMW 3 series
Here's to the new $40K BMW Corolla, or should they just be embarrassed to even put the BMW symbol, which is (really, was) the symbol of "fun to drive"?! The pick-up in this car is jet-like, but that's where it ends. It handles like a Corolla. The interior is cheap and outdated, like a Corolla. This car handles like, you guessed it, a Corolla. It even has the same engine note as the Toyota Corolla. Everything about this car says "Toyota"! Except of course for the gorgeous exterior. The ridiculous introduction of electronic-assisted steering will prove to be the beginning of the end for BMW. I don't wonder anymore why Audi is advertising "more drivers than ever are switching over from BMW"!
Oh, how I regret this purchase.
After decades of owning cars like Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata I was tricked into believing that a BMW would be a true step up into something called the ultimate driving machine. After owning the car for a year I can say that I hate it and I would never buy another one. It is too cramped. Tapping the brakes is an all-out assault on the senses as they're too sensitive. The 8 speed transmission is pretty harsh. The backup camera is nearly useless at night as the images too grainy. The headlights are horrible. There is no spare tire or even a place to put a spare tire. The dashboard controls are strangely located. There is no way to lock the Dual climate control temperature settings. The list just goes on of the things that annoying me to no end that have been implemented for decades by other manufacturers in a better fashion. In the end I sold it back to the BMW dealership in less than 18 months and I was happy to see it go!

This vehicle is outstanding in every way, my biggest tip is maintaining the proper maintenance. Take care of your car and she’ll take care of you. Another thing is DO NOT go cheap with parts or consumables for your vehicle, Quality is key.

Great all around car
This car has all the space, comfort and pep for most day to day driving. At 10 years old and 118000 miles , I have done nothing but normal maintenance. The fold down seats allow me to pack a guitar and small pa. Drives great - especially without the run flat tires.
