Replying to: roadburner (Mar 15, 2008 7:32 pm) But imagine my dismay when I learned that it only averages 23 MPG! Then I found out you can't see out the back window - how are you supposed to drive it?!?! And what's up with all those curves and scoops in the body - totally gaudy! To add insult to injury, it's costs $65,000 and only has a 4 cylinder engine and cloth seats. It doesn't even have carpeting or armrests!!!! And according to several magazine reviews, it's difficult to get in and out of, rides very stiff, and is extremely noisy inside (what were they thinking putting the engine behind the driver?!?!). And what's up with the standard tires?!?! They don't grip in snow/ice and they last only 10,000 miles!!!! This has to be one of the worst cars ever built - I'm so disappointed that such a respected company like Lotus is hawking such garbage. Of course, I haven't actually ever driven one before, but then again, why would I even want to go near such a POS?

Replying to: jmaroun (Mar 15, 2008 8:10 pm) That would be true if it were the case. Why don't you head on over to some of the other edmunds 3-series forums. Rather then telling people they are disrepectful, try asking a specific question, you'll get a specific answer. |

Geez, it sounds like a bunch of cocky BMW sales representatives in here! Such rudeness is what made me purchase through carsdirect.com instead of through BMW directly. Why is it that the rudest people I've ever met have been associated in one fashion or other with BMW??? WTF..??? It's too bad really.

| Now see your last post was a "disrespectful and personally directed post." Reviews can be helpful, but that is all they are meant be. Words on page can only do so much in describing the driving experience of a particular automobile. The 0-60 times, weight, skidpad numbers,.,.etc,.,. are nice statistics and i do mean that. But they all come second to what you experience when you drive the car. | |

Replying to: jmaroun (Mar 16, 2008 1:38 am)  If it's not too late, I think you should go and buy one of the cars I previously recommended, or even something like a Civic Si and then slam it to your heart's delight.

Replying to: jmaroun (Mar 16, 2008 1:38 am) Why didn't you mention what you purchased? What color is it, how did the purchase go? Did you lease or buy? Why do you think people treat you rudely?

Replying to: kdshapiro (Mar 16, 2008 5:34 am) It's because those of use who are BMW aficionados are by definition rude. Fact of life, errr, at least to hear jmaroun tell it. It's that very thought process that makes me believe that he should throw his hat into the Honda or Toyota, everyone knows that they make perfectly flawless cars and have the absolute nicest owners. Best Regards, Shipo |

It's been a swell party, but it's time for everyone to go home now.  Let's move on. Please. |
