1995 BMW 3-Series Review Summary & Specs
318Ti Hatchback
Driving machine running on all cylinders
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
BMW is one of the legendary makes, with lots of well-earned charisma. The prices are steep and the theft rate is atrocious, but the cars deliver an unparalleled driving experience that is sprightly, sporty and responsive.
There are sport sedans and coupes that offer smoother ride quality, but they also isolate the driver more from the pleasure of sporty performance. A BMW never lets you forget that you're in command of a beautifully orchestrated road machine.
If you're interested in the most power for the buck, look at a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro. But if a beautifully engineered, meticulously finished German car is more to your taste, the 3-Series cars deliver a sensational package.
