BMW 1 Series Review
The BMW mark has proven rather a desirable badge of distinction for successive generations of motorists. If you want one of these sporty hatchbacks yourself, the 1 series may be the place to start. And The Car Shop’s great range of quality used models could be ideal.
With five engine sizes ranging from a 1.6 litre to an electrifying 3.0 litre model, there’s a decent range of choice to suit your budget. We've found the 2.0 litre turbodiesel to be especially popular, supplying an impressive 163 bhp.
Take the 1 series for a test drive and you'll soon agree, with its sophisticated rear suspension, few small family cars can match the poise and balance this vehicle possesses. What's more, gripping well and steering sharply, you'll enjoy smooth control with power delivered quietly from BMW’s highly refined engine.
Slip into the drivers seat and you’ll find there’s plenty of room to get comfy, thanks to a multi-adjustable seat. The cockpit has a great driver-focused feel about it too, with an ultra-visible dashboard display. Space in the back is a little cramped and the boot is certainly on the small side. But if you want a stylish small car that really is a ball to drive, you can’t go far wrong with the 1 series.
