BMW 1-Series

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

The baby BMW is a winner on paper, with a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, as well as cabrio, two, three and five-door options.

But while it racks up some decent figures for reliability, build quality and running costs – which were good for a premium-badged car – it was let down by a hard ride and supermini practicality.

Overall owner rating :
84.52% (55th overall in Driver Power 2010)
Owners who would buy a 1-series again:
71%
Owners who would buy another Bmw again:
93%
