A small coupe like the 1 series is perfect because the road is so tight in places, low end torque is a very good thing! Make no mistakes, almost no guard rails and the edge of the road has lots of shear drops! Very little traffic.

I put on about 600 miles today mostly just getting there and back (came through Eagar and Show Low on the return).
I was in Prescott back in the end of July this year taking a look at Embry-Riddle. It's a beautiful area, and the high desert weather is my favorite! Unfortunately, my dad and I were in a Kia Soul(less), not a particularly corner-carving-inclined car, if I do say so...
