BMW 3-Series (New)

No change here – last year the 3-Series also came in at 21. Yet a few scores jump out for the wrong reasons. Its poor ride rating is caused by the sporty suspension, while the lack of practicality is down to the tight boot and optional folding rear seats.

Running costs fail to impress: 46th is little better than average. Is good economy ruined by high servicing costs?

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

It trails Lexus, but BMW will be delighted to see that it’s still ahead of Mercedes and Audi… just. The brand has fallen two places overall this year, and will look to reverse that trend in 2010.
