Fantastic for fun and family!
 One of the sportiest cars around, but PLENTY of room in the back sear for 2 full-grown adults.  Plus, the panoramic double-long sunroof give a great sensation for passengers and driver.  Sits a bit high, which is great for vision and entry/exit, but hugs the road like a much lower-slung car.  NEVER a problem taking off from a light, merging into traffic, or getting around those left-lane cruisers.  The 8-speed transmission and the bi-turbo make the car extremely quick, but all the shifting can take a bit of getting used to.  The sport line gives you an option for Sport Display on the nice-sized and nicely-positioned screen which show HP and torque as you drive -- very cool!  Navigation is excellent, but I dinged it a bit because the voice recognition is a be dodgy sometimes.  More cargo capacity than a 3-series wagon.  The angle of the hatch back intrudes a bit when trying to fit/load large, squared-off boxes, but overall the cargo space is cavernous.  Tons of thoughtful features like tie-downs and bag-holders in the rear, USB ports, kick-to-open rear liftgate, etc.  overall a very nicely-done, well-performing car!
