    1 Series is fugly and void of style.

    BMW 1 SERIES 120i SE 5dr Step Auto Hatchback 2.0 2004

    thoughts? Both of us prefer the Honda interior tbh. Just checking due to the other one being a BMW.
    Your choice. I have owned a BMW; it was very good but the dealers are complete

    Find an independent to service it.

    Dunno about Honda.

    no, but she finally squirted. It was long coming, now that I think of it.. Now that it's happened, I can only think of scrapping her and moving on to the next one.

    Hmm well mine has now done 8000 trouble free miles in 6 months
    The 159 (and Brera) are a huge step forward in terms of quality and reliability.
