Your post outlines the same challenge I face...Every time I get out of the Mustang I think its a fantastic car and an unbelievable package. I just cant get away from the fact that its a big car and for my driving style the size sucks most of the fun out of the car.... Cars like the Evo, M235...

I dont pay much attention to short term reliability ratings from magazines and consumer reviewers. If memory serves me right they include everything from NAV to body panel alignment in their reviews. To me that means the Mustang probably had a few growing pains out of the gate that have been...

agree 100%... I think people believe there is an performance grudge match between Ford and Chevy. I can assure you that Ford doesnt sit around in a boardroom and discuss how they hate Chevy or how they plan to beat them at performance. They discuss ways to drive sales and reduce cost so they...

The mustang is selling like hot cakes so I dont see why they would change anything. Ford cares about sales numbers and not necessarily beating the performance of their competition.

The more I've looked at the pictures the more the M2 looks hideous to me. The wheels/tires look three sizes too big and the body work looks "try hard"....Im glad it looks better in person! I think the M2 is going to be one of the most fun cars you can have for under 100k and it would suck to...

LOL..Someones salty. You do know that this is the versus section, right? The point is to compare cars and in that process different cars are brought into the discussion. Are you aware that my post was in response to another member that mentioned BMW and Lexus, right? I didnt start the...

Congrats on the 350! That is a beast of a car. I can assure your GT350 isnt a good DD for anyone that lives near a city, however. Even if the suspension is somewhat "do-able" it has a manual transmission. Sitting in any level of traffic for any duration sucks in a manual. Im well aware as I live...

Agree the fun factor of the M235i is off of the charts. There is something about the size and power that paints a smile on my face in every opportunity that I've had to drive one. The Mustang GT is a great car but its size and feeling just dont give me the same joy. Im sure the GT350 could upset...

You are going to ruffle some feathers ...There is or at least was a fairly sizable contingent on the forum that swore up and down the Mustang is on par with BMWs interior and that there were droves of M3 buyers were considering mustangs.... I love the Mustang but I still havent found a buyer...

....Car is going to be awesome! Cant wait to drive one...

Wash your mouth out with soap! :D

In my personal opinion its hard to have a discussion about the "feel" of cars these days. Performance cars are making thousands of decisions a second and apply power/braking to the wheels and adjust the suspension. At the flick of a switch you can completely change the attitude of your car. The...

You are one of the most logical and best posters on this forum. I agree with some of this ^^^ and disagree with some of it. I still do not agree with BMW losing their way. BMW is always pushing tech and in many instances they are pushing everyone around them. Almost all of the competitors in...

I've never heard a V6 that I liked the sound of including the GT...I dont claim to have heard all V6s but the ones I have heard just arent pleasing to my ears.... We all better get used to it, however...

I've repeated myself because you continue to come up with different angles to back up your claims that BMW has lost its way. I cant find that any of your positions are in line with reality.... So once again (to repeat myself) lets review your claims and why they are not valid: You've claimed...

BMW M4 parts are ridiculous and the M4 is a ridiculous car. Just because you raid the parts bin it doesnt mean its a bad thing. There is a thread a couple above comparing how the SS performance number are superior to the GTs. How many of the SS parts are from the parts bin? Engine, chassis, etc...

"This (M235I) is the best-handling production BMW I've driven in 10 years" - Randy Pobst Does this include the E90...Why yes, it does. Does that include the M1...Why yes, it does. Feel free to tell me about the opinions of your 135i and the other opinions of the "long term forum members". I...

I dont have to defend BMW "soft" cars when guys like Randy Pobst do it for me... I get it, you have sour grapes towards BMW. Its cool and I understand. I have sour grapes towards a couple of manufacturers myself. They could make the greatest thing since sliced bread and I wouldnt have...

I agree with this...In addition Ford had to sink money in places Chevy didn't. IRS creation testing, European compliance, etc, etc....Chevy already had most of this in place so it could take from the parts bin and focus on weight reduction and performance..

I don't think your comparison of the m235i and the 135 is rooted in reality. The M235i structural rigidity was massively increased over the 1 series. BMWs testing of the M235i showed that it was regularly beating the M1 around the test tracks (including the Nurburgring)....BUT it's softer than...
