Most of the time I find the outrage over design non-nonsensical... BMWs over the years, with small or big grills, with corona lights or icon lights, turbo or atmospheric; they've always had a purposeful design. But the outrage over this one, is warranted. I look at this car, and it's like, I don't want to drive it. It looks like it will drive like Nissan Sentra or something.

Pointless comparison with a Golf R as they're different classes of car?
M135i fair enough. In honesty I thoguht the 'review' was one of the vaguest things I've seen with a few bits of humour forced in. Hardly insighful and like most 'reviews' these days, we could have written all the cliches ourselves. Good Job the world is starved of 'content'. Meooow over!

I was hoping before these test drive reviews that at least dynamically, it would be best in class. Alas, it seems a CLA35 is still better to drive, aside from looking much better. What a missed opportunity...
Honestly I’d take an X2 M35i over this every time. To my eyes it looks a little better and would be a bit more practical.

These are the types of people who explain BMW's downfall from grace when it comes to sheer driving engagement, so yeah I'm going to be an elitist and talk shit on them.

That being said, the 2GC is a MUCH better car in every way. |

That said... I do hope BMW reconsiders future projects in this market segment. This car is not the way forward. |

I'd take Golf R DSG along with my F22 RWD/MT/LSD as a perfect duo

But it seems the hot version of the GC isn’t hot enough, and with the challenging styling to hold it back, it’s a fail. IMO.

May the sell 0 of these. Just to help drive home the point that the brand shouldn't produce FWD bland mobiles with a touch of ugliness.

Why can't they make this car look nice? Even the current A3 looks better proportioned than this, the upcoming model even more so.
The MB product is also better looking. |
