It's a marque normally associated with class-leading executive models, so alarm bells will be ringing at BMWÂ’'s HQ at the 1-SeriesÂ’ low finish. With a five-door body and a rear-wheel-drive chassis, the 1-Series is unique, and you certainly love the way it goes around corners. But the trade-off is a lack of rear seat space, making it less practical than a Ford Focus. You also dislike the stiff suspension and find it tricky to drive. With a raft of new versions on the way, the 1-Series has its work cut out to win you over.
Your Quotes
“The 1-Series' comfort is let down by run-flat tyres. What's more, the performance just isn't very sporty due to the very low-revving diesel engine.”
Mr Tim Gathercole - West Yorkshire“Great car, other than hard ride and lack of smaller storage places for maps etc. Glovebox fairly useless.”
Mr Gordon Long - Somerset“Excellent apart from a few things, such as, seats stain easily and difficult to clean, boot is too small, water comes in if window is opened when parked and raining. BMW jealousy factor has attracted marks to doors both sides and dent to rear bumper. Never caught the culprits.”
Mr David Anthony - Leics“Overall a good car. Not enough boot space or rear seat space. No spare wheel is a little worrying and the run flat tyres make the ride harsh.”
Mr Stephen Lockley - Essex“An excellent quality, well-built hatch. With the diesel engine (2-litre 163hp) it is economical and has a good turn of speed when required.”
Elaine Fitzpatrick - Shropshire“The car is great but I'm not yet convinced that run-flat tyres are a good idea.”
Mr Paul Wooderson - Buckinghamshire“Good to drive, fun, well made and reliable a hatch that drives like a sports car.”
Mr Jeremy Green - Derby“A good quality car only slightly let down by a poor ride on the run-flats and the fact that you notice it is very small in the back and in the boot when you want to try and get anything in it, like luggage.”
Mr Sean Osborne - Norfolk“You get what you pay for, this is the first BMW I have owned and I will continue to own a BMW.”
