Evo Review: M135i vs A45

TMP · 07-12-2013, 07:56 AM

Seems to sum up my comparison review, that on roads the M135i is the better car..

Quote:

"on the road the BMW feels markedly faster and more responsive between corners"

Here is the summary:

Yes, I would imagine that the BMW135i makes a far superior 'do everything' everyday drive, And indeed what I particularly like about it is the feeling of high performance without exceeding 5K rpm and indeed even in Comfort mode, helped greatly by the 8 speed Sport AT.

The Mercedes is designed to grab the headlines, but everyday usability AND performance is clearly BMW's territory

So A45 is basically like a Nissan GTR, better performance but no feel and boring to drive.

A45 is a little bit faster, but M2 is still to come
