Hahaha, feeling is subjective AND relative. But honestly I think you were very forgiving, or you drove a Myvi before driving the 118i.Good thing I said "feel more than adequate" then
Expectations, expectations @ixeo
But to be honest, I can be a bit of a forgiving person. I cab relate to your dissatisfaction on the 118i's lack of thrust. For me I went in expecting less and it turned out to be entertaining for the 4 days that I had it. I would think, in the long run, the 118i would start to grow on you
So far BMW have not given anyone reason to doubt their specs on paper.For starters, is it really able to accelerate to 100kph in under 9 secs??
Coz sometime ago I've encountered a somewhat hooligan 1 series like this, not sure if 118 or 116, and I can concur with you that this car is slow as I left it for dead when accelerating from around 100kph onwards.So far BMW have not given anyone reason to doubt their specs on paper.
I firmly believe those times can be improved with better tires like PS4.
If it was a 120i it’s be a hooligan.
Let's just say there are peers of the 118i that is just as quick or could out accelerate it, but as the ZTH aspect fades away after the 1st hour novelty, the 118i is still the fastest car all-round, being blessed with a chassis made in heaven and other driver oriented characteristics.Hahaha, feeling is subjective AND relative. But honestly I think you were very forgiving, or you drove a Myvi before driving the 118i.
Based on the numbers I've quoted from its peers, its nowhere near "fast". Of course, one can argue the Mercedes A180 also takes 8.6s ZTH. So in the end its just on par with its peers.
But is it fun to drive? Yes, can be, driving a slow car fast. Gonna be very booooring when the road opens up. Frankly the chassis is very sound, sticking the 320i engine inside would be a lot of fun.
While on boost at full throttle from stationary or low speeds, the 118i does feel peppy-ish. But when on the move, can be quite gutless when trying to gun from 100km/h that's for sure.Coz sometime ago I've encountered a somewhat hooligan 1 series like this, not sure if 118 or 116, and I can concur with you that this car is slow as I left it for dead when accelerating from around 100kph onwards.
The sales advisor noted I was literally falling asleep behind the wheel on the 118i. But that's cause I stepped out of a 330e.Let's just say there are peers of the 118i that is just as quick or could out accelerate it, but as the ZTH aspect fades away after the 1st hour novelty, the 118i is still the fastest car all-round, being blessed with a chassis made in heaven and other driver oriented characteristics.
although the absence of paddle shifters is quite an anti-climax
There you go ixeo, it was all because you were pre conditioned by the 330e, it does thatThe sales advisor noted I was literally falling asleep behind the wheel on the 118i. But that's cause I stepped out of a 330e.
Like durain, must eat the light tasting one first then end with Musang King.....hhahhahhahaThere you go ixeo, it was all because you were pre conditioned by the 330e, it does that
Now I’m looking forward to the Volvo V60 T8... imagine stepping out of that into the 330eThere you go ixeo, it was all because you were pre conditioned by the 330e, it does that
Yes, that new T8 Volvo is one worth waiting for. I've became a huge fan of the T8s since a first encounter with the S90 T8 earlier this year.Now I’m looking forward to the Volvo V60 T8... imagine stepping out of that into the 330e
The 330e is gonna be yawn inducing.
