A comparable Boxster would cost more because a comparable Boxster could run rings around this car. Just like he said, this car has a harsh ride and yet doesn't handle all that well, whereas a comparable Boxster has a wonderful ride and handles as if it's hard-wired into your central nervous system.
That review was fundamentally terrible. Not only did I learn nothing but some basics, but those basics plus "ride quality" was the entire reason for the unclear conclusion, which was highly negative. Never even mentioned the car's cornering, the double clutch 7-speed, or the BMW-ness of it, which is probably the most important aspect of the car to a potential buyer. Also the fact that it's better than it's competitors, ask Clarkson.
it's amazing how bmw are crap 4 u even when every other car magazine says that they aren't.. and it's amazing how you love audis and vw sooo much, are they paying you?
When will you guy,s learn? BMW make luxury sports cars. not stripped out race cars. i give it 4.5 stars. why would you want to drive it like you stole it?
If that car was black....... Ahh ha haaaaa! That is what a personal sports car should look like. I am not a fan of red leather interior but damn does it look good in this car.
This driver is driving the auto with one hand, talking to a camera, and is obviously not a professional. Individuals giving auto reviews should be professional drivers and driving in a professional manner so their comments can be taken seriously.
Please please PLEASE fire this boring motherfucker! Even in only 90seconds this guy makes me feel sleepy just by listening to him, and not in the good way Stephen Fry's voice has the same effect. There is NOTHING interesting about this guy and he makes even the shortest and most intriguing car reviews insanely tedious!
Mercedes,BMW and Audi knew damn well there were several parties in Germany wanting a speedlimit on the autobahn, not to mention the tons of reports in the 80's how several accidents were caused by excessive speeding. So by limiting their cars to 250km/h they reached a "gentleman agreement", which also showed they "cared" about not building ever faster cars to the public.
the German greens hardly had any say in the late 80's
ALL German luxury car manafactuers reached an agreement in the late 80's to limit their cars to 155mph or 250km/h. The reasons were to stop rivalry from producing ever faster cars and they were smart enough to realize that could only end in the German government either imposing speedlimits on the autobahn or passing a harsh law, like the one they have in Japan where every single car sold there is limited to 112mph.
It's not dumb at all. People can easily remove the speedlimiter
I just priced one out on BMW's website. With all the options one would get on a car like this, such as premium package, metallic paint, navigation, leaving many of the options like the cold weather package out, the car came to $73,000. Why would anyone in their right mind buy this car at that price when they can pay practically the same amount give or take a couple thousand dollars for an M3 Convertible? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Ok if thats the same tt engine as a 335 or 135 then this car is worth it. Three words ;Intake, Tune , Exhaust. Then compare some shit. I believe with those mods would put it at well over 410 wheel HP!!!! Sleeper anybody?
Autocar is supposed to sell magazines, not tv shows.. That´s why they do these quickies: you get a taste of it to make you want to buy the magazine. Makes sense to me
Autocar, please do us all a favor and SHUT THIS 90 SEC VERDICT CRAP! We want those full-length videos just like we used to have earlier. These 90 sec quickies are not comprehensive enough.
@amaan08051994 you're dumb if you don't like the 90 sec clip, i guess you just want to sit there and waste your time looking at cars you'll never buy. this is perfect for getting you the information you need without wasting time trying to fluff it up; and if you like the car you can do further research
@M3PanoS I think it is you who are dumb my friend. If i had to buy a car, why would i sit online watching videos of it? I would rather go to the showroom and get a test-drive and buy it! It is because these cars are fantastic but out of reach for me, i like to see them in action for more than 90 seconds. I am an enthusiast, not a scientist, and i do no want to conduct research on cars. If you won't look at cars like these, you'll probably never dream of owning one. Pessimist.
@amaan08051994 Nah buddy, sorry for calling you dumb, but these 90 sec clips serve their purpose, there's plenty of other videos to watch if you want more in depth analysis, but as far as I know, autocar is the only company that does the 90 sec clips making them purposeful. And I'm not a pessimist.
please autocar. do complete reviews not rush ones. i only understood that the bemmer had poor ride and not any more the bmw ultimate driving machine feel.
I love this car!! It is truly ART on wheels! But if I had to choose between this and the Boxster... hm... I think that I'd spare a little more money and I'd buy a cayman! =D
