Posh hatchback is good to drive but has minimal interior space
Blisteringly fast, yet disappointingly sterile.
Supremely competent, fast and great to own
BMW's smallest model is a brilliant all-rounder
A great all-rounder if you don't need masses of space
BMW's first 1 Series can make a cracking used buy - but choose carefully
A delight to drive, good choice of efficient engines, superb build quality
Tricky access to rear seats, styling ungainly from some angles
Brilliant handling, stunning acceleration, great cruising car, a five star 'M' car
Central armrest is irritating when flat, high running costs, high emissions
Great to drive, neat styling, wonderful cabin, feels as solid as the Coupe
Limited room in the back, fabric roof operation is slow
