Reason ive never liked fwd cars is they are generally harder to work on than a the rwd equivalent. Modern rwd BMW's are bad enough with cramped engine bays and dubious design, so im sure they will be even worse in fwd (or 4wd if you are a sucker for punishment) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted July 19, 2019 Maybe I'm dumb; - is "Focus" in the thread title just a dig at the design? Or am I missing something? Is there to be no new 140? So the new 135 is meant to replace the 140 in the old lineup? The quote above does say "almost no way to tell" and I'd have to agree if the car is an auto, in a manual it's going to be rather easy to tell. I do really like the interior of the new one (those seats!), not so much the buck teeth styling. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
