while fedlawman is right, of course, I still like the game. Been a fan of GT since the original and can't help buying every one of them.
 
This one isn't as in-depth as the past issues, but the graphics are so much better than previous versions that its worth the price of admission.

some of you thought talking about the 3 series was off-topic and irrelevant!

The original plea provoking the latest spurt of posts was from one of the two folks posting here who owns a 1 Series vehicle, looking for ANYBODY, besides himself and this other bloke who hasn't shown up here in over 2 months, who owns a 1 Series car to come forward and post. Since nobody came forward, the conversation resorted to race driver wannabe computer games. Better to talk about ANYTHING to help deflect the truth; which is, hardly anybody out there in Edmundsville owns a 1 Series vehicle! Reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meridith as the one guy left on earth after the bomb hit.
 
Imagine, what would happen on the 3 Series boards if someone said, "Hey, anyone out there own a 3 series vehicle, so we can compare our cars?" The poster would be swamped with relevant replies.
 
The 1 Series has little interest. You can't fool the folks. They are sticking with the 3.

The Truth About Cars, Mike Solowiow, April 21, 2008:
 
"After testing BMW 135i and 335i Coupes back-to-back, I can reveal that there are only two good reasons to purchase the smaller, cheaper car. Either you need a track day machine or you're an idiot."
 
"The poorly-packaged BMW 135i proved too difficult (read: unrewarding) to drive in daily situations. If the 335i didn't exist, you could make a pretty good case for the 135i. But it does, so you can't."
 
"The 135i...really is an ugly car. The 335i looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones by comparison."
 
"The 335i Coupe is Bimmer's best molding of power and grace to date."
 
Thanks for the support, Mike! Pretty much what I have been saying.
 
If you want a tenacious, honest vehicle review, I strongly recommend "The Truth About Cars." A perfect antidote to the idiotic reviewing sites that never met a car they didn't love.

I believe each of us is allowed 3 truthful posts per month.
 
The other folks here must have exceeded their truthful allotment, so they get to talk about how wonderful the 1 Series is.
 
I only have 1 truthful post remaining in June. Luckily, it is almost the end of the month.

TTAC makes a fetish of bucking prevailing opinion and often rates cars the opposite of everyone else. They gave the Touareg TDI 5 stars and the Cayenne 4. Maybe they just don't like small cars. ">

The reviewer in question, Mike Solowiow, is no more or less qualified to compare cars than we are. He seems knowledgeable enough and is obviously an enthusiast, so I respect his opinion - even if I don't agree with it.
 
EDIT - of course, he didn't really test these cars in his review. They both had automatic transmissions...
