RWD is priority for driving pleasure, you could"t care less about the looks once you are behind the wheel. By the way, mine looks stunning, from every angle in my opinion.
Dominiek: I have a 120d in order for delivery beginning of May.
Some testers report they are disapointed by engine vibrations, others are giving credit for the sophisticated engine.
When testing it myself in September, I was so "busy" driving and enjoying the handling, grip and driveability tatt I did not notice the caracter of the typical diesel vibrations.
How do you find this aspect in your own car?
