Almost every review I've read so far has some remark about a lack of steering feedback.
I get the sense that reviewers
want to be positive about this car. I don't mean they're being intentionally untruthful, but that they're suffering from some cognitive bias.
The 1M was received positively. The M135i followed up with even more positive reviews, largely (IMO) because of it's obtainability, and now the M235i is getting a lot of the same treatment.
This car is in a real sweet spot. It's got fantastic performance at a price point that really is obtainable for a lot of people, and because it's a BMW, it has the street cred that a lot of the other driver's cars in the market lack. Let's face it, a middle-aged professional ends up doing a lot of explaining when they drive something like a FR-S or BRZ.
I'm not one to get all uppity over driving a BMW, but I remember when I drove a GTI. I loved the car, but I got really tired of having to defend my choice in social circles. It's just tiring. My 1-series still got some remarks, but not nearly as much as my GTI. I'm disappointed that it's even an issue. *sigh*
Anyway, it's hard
not to root for this car.
