Well the SMART i was looking at, did have them.
but the 09 model we are getting nixed the 6spd and the Turbo..it's still Rear engine rear wheel. but I've lost taste for that.
Been looking at a pair of Mercedes C230 Hatches, a 2.3L and a 1.8L...haven't been able to find a 1.8L Sport model...this is prob what the Ti will be a down payment for. Plus I like the Magma Red(similar to Imola) and the cloth interior is nice for someone who disdain leather(Florida Heat + Leather = Sweaty Buttcrack...not good if your wearing dockers)
Don't want to bother with another e36 or e30, and the neu 3sers...the e46 and e90 are blah
The 1ser is too much money for what it is, and no 3dr or even a 5dr sucks. Plus with law enforcement cracking down more and more(Our Green partie)..who cares if you can go 0-60 in 4secs...if a cop sees you or if they change the camera laws..driving is getting less fun by the year.
PLUS this is the big thing. for the last 4 year Mercedes has tried to get me to be a customer.
even though I never really had interest at the time...they have sent so much crap from keychains, curios, test drive invites, etc, trying to court me as a owner.
BMW NA with my name on accounts at dealerships..nuda, bubkis. no thanks for the 1000$ a month I'd spend on crap to keep a failure car alive(failure in their eyes atleast)
I'm just sick of the BMW "Lifestyle".
