[QUOTE="tezza, post: 109968, member: 765"] Hi, Just thought I'd update this thread since I promised to do so. Anyway, I've been able to take the 120i out several times now and it sure is fun. Pros: 1. Handles really well. Gives me good confidence at corners. 2. Auto-everything. One of the pluses of driving a beemer, I guess. 3. Lots more space than it seems. Surprisingly ample space in the back seat. 4. 7 way adjustable seats 5. 6 speed semi-auto tranny 6. Start/Stop button (instead of turning an ignition key) - adds to the cool factor but no real benefit. 7. Nice 17" wheels, but the runflat tyres contribute to the bumpy ride, I think. Cons: 1. Too much head-bobbing. Suspension is pretty hard and I'm bouncing everywhere. Can't imagine how uncomfortable the passengers are. 2. 200k plus and no electric seats?!?! 3. Noticeable lag when kicking down a gear to accelerate quick. 4. Did I mention the hard-suspension? It's really bumpy. 5. Looks like crap from the side. Not too bad when it's from a rear-side angle. One interesting thing I noticed is that there isn't an engine temp gauge in the display. Only shows ambient temp on the outside. Strange... It would be nice if our roads were smooth and wide like the Sepang track. Unfortunately, they're not and my biggest complaint about this car is the ride comfort. Otherwise, it drives almost like a large go-kart. Kinda fun. The lady-friend loves it. Why? Cos it's auto-everthing. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
