2014 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 320hp 3.0L I6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The driving position feels natural. Buttons and dials are easily accessible, and everything's adjustable if you need to. After a few-hour drive down highway 1, I noticed that my back didn't hurt like it does on most other cars. The seats aren't that soft to the touch, and are quite supportive in cornering, but they are very well-sculpted. Who knew a congenital back defect could be so useful in car evaluation? see full review |

This is a BMW twin-turbo straight-six. This engine defined 'Powertrain Performance'. The transmission feels like a dual-clutch system, but it is, surprisingly, a standard eight-speed automatic. Boot the throttle, wait around two seconds for the turbos to spool up, and your face starts to slide to the back of your face. Due to the abundance of gear speeds, the engine is kept at high, turbo-friendly revs, which eliminates nearly all turbo lag once you get moving. The noise both inside and outside the car is surprisingly quiet and not obnoxious. When 'Eco' mode is engaged, the engine and gearbox become quite civilized too. see full review |
