QUOTEThe BMW 1 Series is a premium family hatchback, rival to the likes of the Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3. It has been noted that the BMW 1 series isn’t the most practical of hatchbacks, however, it is a lot more spacious than its predecessor.
The 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol offers adequate performance, however, if you’re looking for power, the 2.0-litre turbocharged 125i is very rapid.

The handling of the 1 series is sharp and certainly trumps the Mercedes A-class, allowing you to enjoy your ride in comfort whilst the car sophistically takes care of potholes. The 1 series also comes in xDrive four-wheel-drive versions for those of you who are worried about bad weather.
In regards to the interior, whilst it is rather spacious for the driver, with a lowered seat for additional head room, you could say the opposite for the passengers. Yes, it s a nice family hatchback, but if you have teenagers rather than young children, this issue is worth looking at.
