I dont know since Im not trading car yet but before I buy a car I will testdrive an Aero and once I do a report will come. That's a promise.

I didn't read through all the posts yet, but so far, I think the BMW is the better choice (if both are used cars). The 120i delivers better fuel economy and the same performance apparently as the Saab 9-3 you're considering. It's RWD, which is important to most driving enthusiasts. The Saab 9-3 is a sweet looking car (I really dig those), but it's FWD and even with tuning potential, you're probably going to be entering the torque steer zone with that thing if you overdo it. Stick to the RWD BMW which seems to have the same performance but much better fuel economy.

Plus, you're still single and have no kids, right? Get the BMW.

On a side note, I can't wait for our 118i. I wish my dad would just order it now!

I vote for the Saab, the BMW is just too ugly.

Mr. M

The Saab does very commendably in this poll. Must say I'm surprised...

Unfortunaly for you, design isnt everything for me. If the car looks alright (which 1er does) and the car is more involving to drive than thats more important to me. Your onesided comment isnt enough to change opinion
Saab will get the chance from me, no doubt. - Money and - the Saab must be damn good to drive, those are the two reasons why I would buy a Aero over 1er.

Damn right, cars as ugly as the 1-Series get no play from me, ever. Unfortunate, onsided? I think not. Same thing with you and your requirement that a car must drive a certain way, hence your preference for BMWs. Is that onsided and unfortunate too? Not to you it isn't. We all have preferences, mine in non-ugly cars.

No, how they drive isnt everything, I said it before, its important but so is the whole package, a good looking car is nice but its not everything. 1er is not ugly imo, I like both 9-3 and 1er so its a tie there. The best compromise for me will be my choice.

This is what I said in the first post "I know many members here base the car ONLY on the looks but I dont want you to do that. Look at the overall package, the best total package." So yes, your comment isnt helpful, looks is so individual thats why I dont want votes based on looks.

Just get what you know you want anway and be done with it, the BMW. We just have to agree to disagree about the 1's looks, its an awfully nasty looking little thing to me.
