I drove this car from Boston to Houston over the summer. I do like a lot of things about this car. The acceleration is great (i drove the manual transmission,) everything in the interior is perfectly placed, but at the end of every day my back hurt A LOT as did my wallet because its not the best car on gas. We also had a few electrical problems with the car, namely the power windows. Sometimes they would go down but not up, sometimes they would go up but not down.....VERY ANNOYING! BMW didn't seen to care too much about helping us resolve the problem either.

Bottom line, If I look into spending money on a performance vehicle again I would probably look elsewhere first. Probably the Lexus IS350.
