2021 Kia Forte Reviews Summary | |
2021 BMW 2 Series Reviews SummaryYour most affordable path to BMW ownership runs through the 2 Series or the X1. Most people choose the X1 crossover SUV, but some still prefer to drive a car. However, not just any car will do, so the 2 Series lineup includes a coupe and convertible made for driving enthusiasts, and a rakishly-penned sedan for people who simply want an affordable BMW. The sedan is called the 2021 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, a name that serves to add further confusion to a car that's already hard to understand. | |
