I think the thing that bothers me most is the minimal mpg increases. If this car wag getting an additional 7-10 mpg better than the 37 I could see a bigger interest in the car, but for a 25% or more (I'm just guessing here) decrease in performance w/ only about a 10% increase in mpg I just don't see much of a reason to consider this car, and the MSRP is quite high for what you get (compared to our G37 bargain).

the G25 is by no means a car that any of us would consider getting.
its the perfect solution for people for people who dont give a damn about power, want something good on gas and cheap....something that can get them out of their honda and into something a little more luxurious, you;d be surprised how many people fall into that category.
thats y you see so many people with bare bones BMW 328's....its the cheapest easiest way to get into something of value

I find it odd that people complain about power on a less powerful car.
When I got my 335 I was happy with the performance of the 328 until I took a ride in a 335. My advice was always...if you don't want to spend the extra cash don't drive a 335.
A $4000 savings on MSRP isn't a "little bit" and if you can haggle on a 37 you can haggle on a 25.
Saying it doesn't have back up or navi as a reason not to like something is pretty stupid. Honestly NAVI is the biggest waste of money in any car. I wish cars just had a spot to dock a phone, or aftermarket navi. Paying $2500 for a product that is outdated the day you bought it and can be had for $300 aftermarket isn't "smart" buying. And honestly do you use your Navi to drive home? Do you not use your mirrors to drive?
The G25 fills a nice niche market. If everybody wanted the "best and fastest" one can say all 'have to step up" and buy the IPL because technically it has more HP.

Thats your opinion but a lot of people find ALL the extra features that come with the Navi PKG to be useful and worthwhile having. To not offer it in a luxury brand is what is stupid, IMO

we can go over this all day long, but Bimmer 328i has the worst, "WORST EVER" interior that similar to a civic 2000.
this is my take, so helps you a lot
