I am not a car reviewer or journalist or any such thing.
I would just like to do a small write up to see if I am simply mad or if my experiences with cars has been limited. since this is what I suspect I will probably find out that I am right.
My first car was a Ford Lazer 1300, category 3 vehicle my dad got and passed on to me. Nice little car i thought, stained back seats, even more so later on... I cared little for consumption or performance in my student years so that left there. I worked for a company whilst studying and thus was required to drive their delivery van.. The Toyota stallion 1.8.... what a junker.. i progressed on to a Toyota tazz 1300 for many miles, solid runner and not much in the terms of performance.
on to the more professional years 2011, I bought brand new a Hyundai accent 1.6 I was quite impressed with the smell of the new car. Not much else. Handling was weak to me, and the performance for a 1.6 really wasn't what i expected. maybe it was just me.
i progressed on to bigger vehicles in 2013 personified in the shape of a 2.5tdi hard body. Not the high rider type the lower govmt looking model. i was very lucky when i saw the speedo pass 140km/h.
The Nissan Navara 2014 was the follow up to the hard body. I did like this vehicle, even for its bulky size it had decent performance for a diesel and being a 4x4 it had other advantages, but alas it was not to last after the 3rd head gasket and warped block the warranty said no more and i was driving the 2011 Honda ballade 1.5 for the foreseeable future...
Until now whereas it was time to once again trade in i decided after much deliberation from my mechanic friend to get the BMW 320d e90 2011.
From all the cars that i have owned- (Which arent many) this is by far my favorite. i have never felt this type of handling, acceleration or torque in any of the other vehicles I have driven. Its a car I feel good in. (Its a big plus that the car is a looker). i hope i am not sounding vain but there is a heritage in this vehicle brand that seems to be passed into the very leather of the steering wheel.
I have never been this impressed with a car before and honestly i don't think i will ever move to another brand of vehicle.
