Scathing R&T 228i Comparo

Not sure if reposted or not...but Road and Track did not enjoy their 228i in their recent FRS/228i/Mustang comparo...

Some notable quotes:
Quote:
With absolutely no feedback coming through its wheel, the 228i was a bear to manage at its limits...
Quote:
Man, does this BMW seem lost in the woods...
Quote:
What a letdown.
Quote:
Indeed, the second coming of BMWs legendary 2002 feel more Buick than Bimmer.
Quote:
Every time we stop, the 228i's driver begs to get into something else.
Quote:
The whole car feels disjointed.
Quote:
The 228i demonstrates little of the magic we expect from BMW's chassis-tuning crew.
Quote:
It feels like someone just ordered grippy tires, slapped on big brakes, and called it a day.
