Yeah its not my car so not too fussed on the tyres... but do wanna try it for a longer time. When i drove the test car, it was going up to the peak but sooo many damn cars so couldnt really test the power and handling but was impressed with the engine and tranny! Seems like it could be a lot of fun!

Yeah, the DSG gearbox is fast and smooth, BMW should make it standard for the auto tranny.

The power is good but i think the low end torque is not strong enough, you have to push it hard to get all out.
However, which means it is very easy car to drive for everyone.

Hope BMW would made a rear wheel drive with DSG gearbox at the same price
