Given the car’s unsuitability for enthusiastic driving, its various electronics systems became my primary focus.

For this generation of 335i, BMW earned EPA fuel economy ratings of 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. In my mix of city and freeway driving, the car turned in a very respectable 28 mpg. Some of that very good fuel economy is due to the eight-speed automatic transmission, a no-cost option over the […]

2012 Ford Fiesta Ford, being the trend setter for the concept of connected cars, has evolved to greater lengths. It started by connecting the smartphones with fast internet access to the cabin’s computer system. It played music from internet radios via Pandora. However, that has now extended to navigation controls inside the car that take […]
BMW takes a traditional approach at the connected car concept but with a new angle. The dashboard is sans internet connectivity and needs an external device to connect. However, all the apps and services reside inside the system called BMW ConnectedDrive. The user needs to install a client-side version of the ConnectedDrive to connect the […]

According to Rainieri, every other company wants the same thing as Fiat-Chrysler but all of them are either shy to say it or are mere followers. “Others are standing in the shadow,” he said. “But if he succeeds, they’ll be behind him.” However, the recent activities of some of the biggest carmakers in the world […]
We always see futuristic designs from every automaker in the world incorporated in their concept cars, at every auto show.
