Launched to prove that BMW could build a car to compete with the Volkswagen Golf, the 1 Series is a car with styling that you'll either love or hate. It's quite cramped in the rear and the boot is smaller than most rivals, but cabin quality is good, the driving position excellent and the range of engines is the very best available. It's the only rear-wheel-drive compact hatchback available, which means it has more focus on driving fun than its rivals. Diesel versions are particularly impressive, as they are quick and economical.
