i like:
- superb compromise between comfort and handling
- steering precise with feedback
- amazing automatic gearbox
- 118d plenty of torque, responsive and low consumption
i don't like
- not a good looking car (no xenon) not appealing
- cabin too serious, boring design
- disappointing harman kardon, but option is affordable
- instruments hidden behind wheel
- diesel too noisy
- quality ok but not on par with german competitors, rattles, average leather
after 4 months i decided to trade it for the new series 3...good car, fabulous to drive and comfy but no waoo factor and somewhat boring inside and outside. at least resale value was good for my deal
