When Audi TT first came out in 1998/9, it was found to have a tendency to incur accidents that resulted in some fatalities. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_TT" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_TT</a>). which they then resolved by putting in the small boot spoiler, it seems.I was wondering whether the 1 series also have the same tendencies not in high speed like the audi tt but also at low speeds. because i have heard many stories about 1 series getting into accidents whilst being driven by a competent driver. even resulting in  injury to some auto bavaria sales people. is this true? both about the accident happening and about its handling tendencies. because one guy i know who wanted to buy one for his daughter, changed his mind and bought mini instead due to all this "hearsay" about 1 series 'handling characteristic'. not wanting to dis bmw, afterall it is known as the ultimate driving machine. but just want to know is there any truth about its characteristic or the 'accidents'.anyone?</p></blockquote><p></p>
