"Nice as a first BMW"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Quality of interior could be better.

Electric windows are really cheaply made.

The noise could be reduced too.

General comments?

Strong car, and really reliable.

The engine never dies.

It's a good choice between economy and power since the engine is a little too weak for that car.

Very low on gas.

I can detail your phrase about fuel consumption.

After having driven a diesel car for many years, this car surprised me for it's moderate fuel consumption.

It is a heavy car and I could drive it as a diesel, which means that I you don't see me driving at more than 3100 rpm; I avoid stopping and speeding.

Driving long distances at an average of 90 km per hour on French highways, the car consumed 1 liter every 17 kilometers, measured at the fuel station.

Today, driving more on the short track, 1 liter every 14.25 kilometers, measured at the fuel station.

In addition to your comment I appreciate its luxury. It definitely needs a good music player. You may forget that you are driving a car. It is more like being in music and driving has changed from getting there asap into a gentle way to pass time.

Enjoy!
