## Introduction

I recently had the opportunity to test drive the 2015 BMW 328d hatchback. So I must
say, it was quite a surprising experience. Especially to test drive a [diesel](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/more-reasons-to-keep-building-our-own-electric-vehicles-j-d-power-and-associates-reports-despite-rising-fuel-prices-the-outlook-for-%e2%80%9cgreen%e2%80%9d-vehicles-remains-limited-for-the-forese/)
vehicle.  From the moment I sat in the driver’s seat, I also knew this car was something
special. In this article, I will further share my thoughts on the car’s:

 1. performance

### Performance of this vehicle: Handled well

Most noteworthy was the 2015 [BMW 328d](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/05/cox-conserves-driving-environmental-change/)
hatchback is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine. I mean one that
delivers impressive performance.

For the car accelerates smoothly and handles corners with ease. During my test drive,
I was able to push the car to its limits and see how it handled around turns. I 
was impressed by how well it performed. I mean it was cold and it still handled 
amazingly at 45 mpg.

### Design truly a 3 series not over the top

What I loved. For the BMW 328d hatchback boasts a sleek and stylish design that 
is sure to turn heads. Also, the interior is well-designed. That’s with comfortable
seats and plenty of legroom. The infotainment system is easy to use and provides
all the necessary information at a glance.

Driving the BMW 328d hatchback was an absolute pleasure. The car handles exceptionally
