2008 BMW 1-Series Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by tpjriley

Powertrain performance

Very smooth, powerful quick to rev. Strong smooth performance yet without the complexity of a turbo.

Handling

Quick, responsive, stable at higher speeds, strong cornering.

Past personal experience

Have had good experience with this brand in previous years. Quality engineering, reliable, safe.

Fuel economy

Better than expected, given the performance (and how I drive it!)

Price or payments

Not cheap compared to Accord, Altima, etc.
