116d auto has anyone test driven
Hi People
hope some of you out there can help me. I will be ordering my new car this week and have a choice between a 116d sport auto, 118d SE auto and a 118d sport manual... all for around the same price. my dealership hasn't got any f20 for me to test drive *angry face* but I have to order this week *help* I really want a auto car this time round! and i really prefer the look of the sport but im a lil worried by the power and the speed compared to all the other engines. would luv some feedback on how the 116d drives whether manual or auto. either way im going to be ordering without a test drive so im placing my happiness in your hands. Thanks |

I have driven the first 1000 kms in my 116d manual and I think it is an awesome car. Enough power! Gearbox and clutch are perfect. I also test drove the 118d manual. Yes, it is faster but for normal usage the 116hp of the 116d is really sufficient. I used to drive a 1997 740i so I know what power is . And it was an automatic and I only miss the easy ogf use of an automatic in traffic jams.
