Very little fazes the engine and even less can actually stand in its path under full-throttle runs. Apart from the addictive rasp, there's even the accompanying complement of wheezes, gurgles and gasps that accompany most turbocharged cars. mid- to high-end urge is strong and oddly enough, it feels quicker than its 6 seconds 100km/h sprint timing otherwise suggests. too bad the steering seems unnecessarily heavy at low speeds and the ride can be harsh over bad roads.
The engine is also nicely mated to a 6-speed steptronic transmission that includes steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters.
And it certainly has the butch, muscular looks to accompany the turbo'd engine's performance:
in action, the roof deployment is a complex, multi-piece affair that is best appreciated from the rear:
And all this lifestyle cachet neednt come at the price of versatility either, since the 335i Convertible will happily seat 4 in relative comfort, although considering my height, that's not saying much...even the rear seat of a kia picanto would seem roomy to me LOL
