No problem. Just had a piece of rum cake to celebrate. Not feeling any pain.

I for one love to see the volt on the list. We need to stop betting against USA all the time. Besides maybe the technology becomes mainstream them the cost of gas would go down for us who love burning the stuff.

What I find interesting is the big omission of the new f10 BMW. The auto mags have no love for that car

The guy is just reading the stuff in the article; in a lifeless monotone. I would rather just read the article myself since he contributes nothing meaningful.

I will use that misinformed dood as my new contrary indicator.

I plan on renewing my C&D subscription for life.

I look forward to the next C&D comparo where the 328i emerges again as #1!!!

Me too, they make good loaner cars, so that you have some appreciation when you get your own car back!

SteveMD · 11-24-2010, 05:49 AM

Woo hoo..I have two cars on the 10 Best list

Probably because of the increased weight.

Me too. A VW Golf and a 328i.

Oh, sorry! I though MD was "doctor". If I knew at the time it was just short for Maryland, I wouldn't have written.

Ha! Ha! See any Audi forum for a massive list of C&D subscription cancellations.
They didn't do too well on the CR reliability list for auto manufacturers either-almost dead last.

hpowders · 11-24-2010, 10:51 AM

Thanks to the OP for providing the C&D 10 best list. By the time I get my C&D in the mail, it will be almost time for the 2012 list.

Bakeme521 · 11-24-2010, 12:12 PM

hpowders · 11-25-2010, 05:29 PM

Every time I see those 335i's stuck on the side of the interstate, I say "Gee, I'm really glad the 328i has won 2 C&D comparos and never lost even one".
