-
Economy
Value
The only different between this and a higher engined model is the power. If you are not a lead-footed driver, than this is the best option. All the luxuries and quality and reasonable price.
Costs
You pay for quality, price and prestige. For less, you could get a Mondeo?

Driving
Very confident feel at low and high speeds

Steady performance. Goes alot faster than you'd expect. Better than the outgoing (E36) 318i engine.
