Over half of the people complaining probably can't even afford this vehicle. Regardless, I can't give into peer pressure... lol this car looks clean to me, inside and out. Heck, the more people who don't like it the better, I like having unique things...I'd totally consider owning one.
@juank2000 i think he's funny and smart, i believe most people feel the same. Carbuyer almost a one man show and he's got over 16,600 subscribers, name another one man car review chanel has more subscribers, he's got that many for reason.
@Ceh000 No, leave alone that figure. What you get in the US is a believable real world benchmark. In Europe those numbers are ridicolously far from reality due to stupid homologation tests at constant speed on a dyno with very slow accelerations. So in US a 30 mpg car will actually do 30 mpg. In EU a 50 mpg car will struggle past 35 even with the slowest driver ever
@Mawerik024 That's not the reason, it's US Gallon vs Imperial Gallons ... So divide that number (50) by 1.2 (4.54L/3.79L) and you get 42mpg (which is 55mph highway).
@goguhu That makes no sense. I've said that an US car sold with 50 mpg will do 50 and an EU car sold with 50 mpg will not do 50. So there are no comparisons between the two cars and their fuel consumptions.. So no point talking about US gallons and UK gallons. If someone says he's 6 foot being really 6 foot tall and another guy says he's 190 cm when in reality he's 175 the first one is honest, the second one is a lier.
What is it with BMW and Halogen headlights???!! I cant stand the site of them!! They sell $30K ++ cars and they cant manage to add powered seats, a sunroof or a Xenon headlights STANDARD!!?? These have been standard options on both Lexus & Infiniti for ages and even Mercedes and Audi have chosen to make these "features" standard! I love BMW but their perception on what luxury should be is quite pathetic. Only their more expensive vehicles are worth talking about.
haha. Like you took the words out of my mouth! I see bmw cars with halogens and think the same thing. These are $30k luxury plus.. cars with halogens? you have to get them optional after you spent that much?
I can't stop looking at it! Why BMW? You went from M3's, M5's, and Z8's to THIS? Even Mercedes god-awful C-Class Estate looks better. Quite ridiculous how much a prestigious luxury automaker comes up with something as horrid as this.
@Muhlineks That I find somewhat true. Manufacturers need to stop following traditions and make the damn cars look good (Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Mitsubishi, etc.) Just look at Hyundai. 95% of the cars look very good, and for that, sales has sky-rocketed.
Guys don't talk about how ugly is the car. Probably you haven't even seen it in real life. I got mine and it is absolutely a beast. Stop moaning without knowing.
by the time the designers got to the rear end the must've completely run out of ideas (not that those ideas are actually worth being called that as far as the front of the car is concerned btw) and they just took the VW Polo`s :D
whether you like it or not, it's the only hatchback with rear wheel drive, it has no competition on the market. Anything that comes a bit close is the VW golf 4motion, Audi A3 quattro or Subaru impreza hatch.
@TheEryk03 I would choose this over a VW Golf? Don't you? Yes, the rear lights look like VW Polo, the front looks like any model of the BMW series..but still, i think this car is much more than the VW Golf..but than again, it has it's price..
@TheEryk03 Have you seen the Pontiac Aztek!? That's one of the ugliest car ever made, maybe even the ugliest. This BMW is pretty good by my standards! ;)
@onoff314 stupid imo, a car with say 4.4L can flawless through gears while sipping coffee and eating chips while, u, with manual works hard on getting those shifts nice and smooth
@AntDX316 Each to there own. many people prefer manual for fun but some prefer auto to just lounge around. Manual isnt hard to drive at all but auto is easier. Engines being larger should not mean they are better as manual tho
@onoff314 why make a choice of hard when there is a choice of easy? if the car was 600hp and u were manual shifting it then it would be cool but seriously 8 second 0-60 car is just dumb, was driving a stock Honda Civic behind a C300 at a red light, when it turned green the C300 pulled away while I was having a hard time getting through the gears..
finally bmw gets with the program with the smaller engines...reason why this car will still be inferior to its asain competitors is the fact that its still a bmw. it did only 8.5 sec 0-60 time...i would only take that from a hyundai not a bima. and also people arent going to buy this because the insurance on it is stil going to be worse than if you were to have a hyundai, ford, chevy etc.
@SealtielSicairos No, you got the 1.4TFSI engine with 125HP which will do 0-100 in about 9.6 secs. Now if you had the 1.8TFSI engine with the 160HP then yes you would do 0-100 in about 8 secs.
There is nothing about this car that makes it look ugly to me. It has great proportions and many of the great BMW design cues you get on the most beautiful BMWs.
I really appreciate Van Hooydonk's effort to include the shark-nose design on a little hatchback. It make it look different - yes - and that's what makes it a great looking car!
@Anoush13 The new 1 looks a lot better in the flesh. And remember when everyone said the E60 5 series and the old 6 were ugly? Theyre not saying that anymore!
So.... I guess I wasn't the only one who was thinking this is the ugliest BMW ever. Thank goodness.
