I've had the 1 for just under a week now and have already collected a few compliments -
A window roll down and shout out from a 335i driver: Nice car!
As well as a chorus of "WOW"s from several female coworkers.
The only negative feedback I've received so far was in response to the transmission (DCT). I think it is a blast to drive, and now my wife can get behind the wheel if necessary, but the "car guys" at work (M5, Evo and Volt) are not going to let me forget that I drive an automatic to work everyday... Of course, I will never let the Volt driver live down the fact that he went from a MkVI GTI to a Chevy Volt.
