They put IDRIVE IN THE 1SERIES!! I see it now, the panic, the stress and the emotional break downs... Is IDRIVE all that complicated?

Any news of anyone wanting to compete with the A3 other than the Mazda Speed 3.

Mercedes A class and other ramblings by alan1943

I love the A class Mercedes. For the past 2 yrs. in Europe, we've rented both the A-130 and the A-150. They are cofortable. The seating is high, and the size is great. They are economical on gas and fun to drive. We've driven it on the Autobahn and it was fine. Wish they exported it over here. I've also seen the 1 series BMW, really neat looking car. We are waiting for our A3 to be delivered and very excited. Hatchbacks are our favorite type of car.

The question means ... Are BMW or Mercedes planning to compete with the A3 by introducing their A Class or (BMW's 1 series) in the US for sale (sometime this decade?)

I think the answer is that Mazda is the only real competitor to the A3.

BMW 1 Series will be here NEXT YEAR as the 135 with a six cylinder turbo. Later models will be the 130 with a turbo 4.

Absolutely. I would have thought the 4-door GTI was the most NATURAL competitor for the A3.

i doubt it. A six cylinder turbo in a car that costs less than the 3 and will weight less, probably making it just as fast if not faster? I don't think bmw would want the 1 series to step on the 3's toes, maybe a small na six would be more appropriate. Or a blue tec diesel.
