I'm shocked reading the A3 love on here. did anyone actually drive one? it was one of the most boring test drives of my life. had more fun with a rental Corolla days later.
Definitely 2series is pretty great, but maybe I'm little bias, and I agree have driven friends modifed and stock b8.5 a4s hundreds of miles over the last year and find it to be unbelievably underwhelming, a3 might be a different story but no way it's better then a 228i, the 228i I test drove even without sport package or msport , just felt right, I ordered a m235i without even driving one knowing the platform was for me and the extra power and the sound of the inline 6 would only make it sweeter..easily the best bmw on the market that can be had for $40k brand new.. F3x is great but would be way more with the options m235i has, m3/4 are on a whole other level performance wise and price bracket.. Not a fan of the a3 styling so I didn't even consider it, not that it's so horrible but it's like a bite size a4 which I always thought the a4 was like a overpriced VW, just reminds me of my brothers CC way to much on the inside. Whatever! They are all nice cars in their own way !
