BMW 318ti (1998)

"Great little car!"

"Great power off the line."

"Desperately needs a sixth gear almost as much as my brother needs a haircut. On the highway, the revs are well over 3,000 rpm--much too high. I kept shifting down to fourth, because I kept assuming I must be in third. A sixth gear would make this an awesome car."

"A definite 'babe magnet!'"
