Comfort

For a car that offers such impressive performance and handling, the 2008 BMW 135i is surprisingly comfy and serene to live with on a daily basis. Chris Martineson :Wind noise in particular is muted, with nary a roar nor a whistle when traveling on the highway at 80 mph. Road noise is also rather subdued considering the car's low-profile tires.

Be prepared to pay dearly, though, unless you can live with a bare-bones version.
