BMW 1 Series
Performance
The rear-wheel-drive 2008 BMW 135i is powered by the same twin-turbocharged six-cylinder found in the larger 335i, yet because of its lighter curb weight, the 135i slightly out-accelerates its larger sibling from zero to 60 mph in a tidy 5.0 seconds. The 335i essentially equals that. Producing 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, this 3.0-liter inline-6 spreads its ample thrust across a broad range, with highway passing easily accomplished without dropping down a gear. EPA fuel economy is 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. We averaged 20.8 mpg and even managed 28 and 29 mpg on a pair of two-hour road trips.
Mazda MAZDA3 Comfort
The 3's cabin is accommodating. The sedan's tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel offers calibrations that allow for a wide range of adjustment, making it easy for most to find a workable position for the steering wheel. Height-adjustable seating adds even more breadth to the range of ergonomic options.
