what a surprise ... the bimmer won. I would take the 370Z in a second. The 1 series is busted.

the Z profile almost looks like an aston in the first pic.

i like the Z best.

genesis still looks like an angry squinty eyed sumo in every picture on the web

i prefer the mustang's looks out of all of them for some reason.

the 3 imports are hurting my eyes >_<

why isn't the camaro there?

i'd like to see how it fairs against them in a comparo

Nice read! Thanks. I knew the 1er won as soon as I saw which mag this came from. They might as well call it the "Winding Road by BMW". If Hyundai re-badged their Genesis into a BMW it woulda got 2nd place for sure. ha ha.

The simple fact that I think my 335i rides borderline too harsh, and that every article I've read that talks about the 1-series' ride says it rides worse than the 3-series, and that this article says the 1-series rides better than all the other cars in this competition tells me straight up that I should never consider buying any of the cars in this article.

Though I did once have a 2009 Mustang rental car for 6 weeks while my car was getting fixed from a wreck. It actually rode pretty smoothly. It was a base V6 though... 16" wheels, non sport suspension, etc...

C&D rates the Z first place in front of the BMW 135i....
i would take the Z over a lot of other cars in its class...

I would take the Z too!

What was the order of the other cars? Don't feel like reading the rest of the article...

I've driven the 330i it feels nowhere near as quick as the G37. I thought it felt weak and slow.

No chance the 128i feels anywhere near as quick as the 370Z. Terrible review, the 330i's engine sounded about as sporty as a V6 Camry. Something like an industrial machine. I like how the reviewer pretends it sounds like an Italian V12.

Overall a pretty useless review full of BMW fanboism. At least the BMW got rid of the junky MacPherson strut in the 7-series.

I always get the mustang convertible on vacation ( mostly brcause its nicer than a jeep) and its a POS. I come home and jump in the Lexus and feel like I am driving a Rolls Royce. The idea of dropping a V8 into that chasis and some leather doesnt seem to inviting to me at all.

you haven't rented the 2010 model, sorry. Different vehicle.

whoever thinks the mustang is the best looking car in the group is nuts. Z looks way better.

Cannot believe BMW is trying to market another $40,000 compact sport sedan in the US. Didnt they fail in segment before already?
