BMW 1-Series Hatchback (2004 - 2011) 120d Sport 5d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

You like something different and not what everyone else has parked in the street.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Not sure on the looks but they havent driven it!!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Without a doubt!!

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW 1 Series without question. It is a hidden gem. I wish I purchased one years ago. Don't be put off by the looks. You will grow to love it!!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car was over 250 miles from where I live and I was also doing a p/x. They were honest and I feel I had a fair deal as you know you never get what you would like on a p/x.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It's got to be German.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

So much better than expected for a smaller car than I have had for a very long time. It feels so much more solid than an Audi A4/A3.

What's it like to park?

Piece of cake. Rev gear takes a bit of getting used to but after a few times no problem at all.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet.

What's most practical about your car?

Fuel consumption is fantastic and surprisingly powerful.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Full leather is a must in my opinion in any car.
