Five-Point Inspection: 2015 BMW 228i

3. Interior:

Helping making the car feel so telepathic on the road is the excellent ergonomics of the vehicle. Everything feels like it was designed around the driver, which allows the car feel very natural.

Still, this is a small car. While I’m just about six feet tall and felt comfortable, the 2 Series could feel claustrophobic for anyone a bit taller than myself.

Interior appointments are surprisingly good, considering there isn’t a cheaper car in the BMW lineup. There are very few places which feel like BMW conceded to cost cutting and overall the car feels like any other BMW found in the showroom.

Standard dual-zone automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, auto on/off headlights and one-touch windows help make the car feel like a premium, well-equipped vehicle.
