You do have to pay a premium for a higher-class badge...
...so the 1 Series is dearer than similarly sized models like the Ford Focus
The boot space is on a par with what you'll find in the alternatives
Taller passengers will find themselves cramped in the rear seats
Split/folding rear seats are standard across the range
The boot space is on a par with what you'll find in the alternatives
With the rear seats folded down, you have 1,200 litres to play with
An optional Storage Pack adds boot netting to secure smaller items and extra 12-volt sockets
The suspension is a bit on the firm side...
...but overall the 1 Series strikes a good compromise between comfort and a sporty drive
It's very refined at motorway speeds
