What reviewers liked most about the 2009 BMW 335:

• The car will move exactly where you want it, exactly how you think it will. There's never any odd feedback or off-target steering, and there's rarely a slip of the rear wheels.- Cars.com

• Handling is sharp, responsive, precise, yet the ride isn't harsh, in spite of the fact that a sport suspension comes as standard equipment.- New Car Test Drive

• Like sweet cream, energy pours out of the 335i's engine throughout the rev range. - Automobile

• There's a precise feel to the steering and the well-sorted suspension provides exceptional confidence through even the most challenging corners. - Kelley Blue Book

• The rear seat is pretty much unusable except by small children and the most petite of adults. Just imagine they're designer, leather briefcase pedestals and they'll seem much more logical.- Cars.com

• The [2009 335i] convertible's 12-cubic-foot trunk is actually one cube larger than the coupe's, but shrinks to 7 with the top down...- Car and Driver

• Gauges are plain, the speedometer cluttered with its dual mile/kilometer scales crowding each other. - Road & Track

Best one-liners about the 2009 BMW 335:

• ...the powertrain has a rheostatic, dial-a-speeding-ticket quality, summoning a progressively urgent rush of power from a dead standstill until your necktie is flapping in the wind like a hurricane pennant.- Los Angeles Times

• BMW still makes the best entry-level sports sedan. - Automobile
