My Terrific ti
 The ti was billed as an entry into 
the BMW line but inappropriately aimed 
at college-age men. Properly marketed, 
it would have sold, and the new compact 
available here. A 63-year-old 
grandmother who loves to drive, I 
have averages 25,000 miles/year, 
averaging 32 mpg. Service has 
been excellent.  I can't imagine 
driving anything but a BMW after owning 
this car. Nimble, it hugs the road, 
shifts like a dream, and looks and 
feels new after almost 100,000 miles.
