Bmw 1 Series 118i M Sport (2010)

1 Series - No Golf

I’m not sure I’m qualified to write a review for a BMW 1 Series as I only had ownership of one for a week while my car was being repaired. In that week period I have to say that the 1 Series did work its charm on me. Being German It’s obviously been well put together and is everything you’d expect from a BMW. The automatic gearbox was good and the ride was both smooth and responsive. I was given the 1.8 petrol engine and it has a great soundtrack when you put your foot down. The steering is responsive which made you feel like a racing driver at times. Fuel consumption also impressed me as I only had to fill up once in the time I had it. Unfortunately, it’s not without its issues. When you sit inside it can feel a little pokey. Space around the front seats are ok but the rear is pretty cramped. You’ll also struggle to get a set of golf clubs in the back too.

Favourite features
Has to be the ride. However, smaller features like the iPod dock are extremely useful.

Suggested improvements
Whenever BMW decide to upgrade the car they need to improve the space inside.
