Brutal if the price is much lower than a 135i i consider one.

Sti 1460kg
Bmw 135i 1560kg

the 135i is a heavy bitch without an LSD

The STi version came out very sexy, imo, unlike the normal WRX.
I'll probably get 135i, though.

Must say this is a good looknig car.

Interior is not too impressive under regular photographic technique.
I think I will stick with the 1 unless the STI or EVO X is a much better bargain.

I think it looks like crap. Like a Saab and a Civic had a kid. Hope it performs MUCH better than it looks.

Absolutely awesome; A huge improvement over the last WRX STI. The old subie looked like a demented cartoon sedan with a bookshelf for a wing. This has class but still looks aggressive. I still like the 135i better, but I am also moving to Colorado in the next year, the AWD would be mighty handy. I will definitely be giving it a test drive.

I think it looks great, aggressive yet practical, a very unique look. I like the silver one better, more contrast in the grill and bumper.

Sorry, but it looks like cluster of many different cars. Mazda, Saab, VW, etc.

I don't like it.

There's been a thread on this on the other car talk forum for a couple of days now. If there was a moderator I would ask this thread to be merged to the existing one, but...

It's posted in the wrong forum (if it's not about a 1-series, it doesn't belong here, but rather in the cartalk forum), and it's a repost.

I'm spoiled since the moderation staff over on acurazine is pretty big. There's also moderators from the different time zones so the west coast mods can clean up the late night reposts...

Wow, that 4 door bubble back is uglier than homemede sin and I'm sure that absurd looking hood scoop helps it get to 60 at least a second faster. Instead of twin exhaust pipes on either side, I think it should have quad exhaust pipes on either side.

That car principally says about its owner that....
1. You're a child or have a childish mentality
2. You have no taste
3. You have no class

Really, I can't get over how butt ugly that thing is. Yes I'm sure its fast, but I'm also sure that I'd be embarrassed to have a pizza delivered to my house in that thing.

One more reason why this place needs a few more mods. I think the owner has done a terrific job with the site, but it's going to start to get away from him without some beat cops.

Wolfy, you know some people consider it rather "tasteless"
to use your car to show your "class"?

I think it's an improvement over the WRX version, but I still can't stand the hatchback/wagon look. I like the Evo X a LOT better. Of course, the 135i is still my personal front runner.
