Expensive parts and repair maintenance. Everything is pretty much an arm and a leg and if there is major issues that an ordinary mechanic cannot fix. I pray you have thousands saved because BMW is going rape you. Just repaired my headlight and paid 3000

They're are not really much problems you know? It is a wonderful car, and you can buy it in a good price range. Even though it is currently 2 years old, it is actually a good, satisfying, and not that expensive car. I'd actually a wonder price, like really, you should get this car! It is wonderful!

Speed. It is the fastest and quickest car that I have ever owned.
Smooth and sleek. Love driving it anywhere. Usually I will take it to and from work but mainly I enjoy driving it on the highways. Surprisingly good in the snow as well. The looks that you get in this car will blow you away in it of itself. If you have the budget to spend, I would no doubt consider getting yourself one.

While it might be tempting to just copy and paste your text into a.
Today’s car buyers are presented with a dizzying array of jargon and acronyms describing options, packaged features, and dealer-installed accessories to choose from. There is great temptation to grab them all, but the costs quickly add up. Consumer reports receives questions all the time from car shoppers asking what they should be looking for in today’s models. Frequently, they have some vague notions about what is available, but they’re not clear on what’s worth the added expense.

The AUDI that I love to hate.
Slow acceleration, but really nice to drive. Supreme gas is a little expensive, but it makes the car run smooth.
accountCircle alisa A
Stylish comfortable model.
This car is expensive to handle when you break down anything and that is what is really frustrating about it. But other than that this car is really a go for it car and is comfortable. It has useful features and appliances in the car and that is really satisfying for to have a car. It also has a very good engine power.

Absolutely amazing for a first car!
Absolutely amazing all around. Would definitely buy another in all black, and cherry red. Mine is white on black now. Love it. Smooth going, fast obviously however I wouldn't mind if it went faster. I would definitely have better mileage for sure though!
accountCircle Leshane L on May 26, 2021
It's a really powerful car. It's powered with a great compact engine.
I am really satisfied with the performance of my vehicle. There's no issue with reliability. And it's really comfortable to drive. But there are some problems. The major problem is Mileage. I get too less mileage.My car has some great features. One of them is the automatic sunroof.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Frank M.

Quality craftsmanship in every part of the automobile. Advanced safety features including collision warning, adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning. Reliability so there are no worries about bread downs. Excellent warranty.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Frank M.

The only con I can possibly think of is that, because it is a retractable hardtop convertible, the trunk has limited space and, when the top is down there is virtually no room for anything larger than a beach bag and beach chair.
