What Car? says
For Good to drive; prestige badge; reliable
Against Limited leg- and headroom; firm ride
Verdict The sharpest-driving car in the class, but far from roomy
Go for… 118d ES
Avoid… 130i M Sport
- 1. Don't be too put off if the gearbox feels sticky when cold and difficult to get into reverse. It's normal
- 2. If the alloy wheels are badly kerbed, the tracking will almost certainly be out
- 3. Be wary of high mileage 130i versions in M Sport trim
- 4. Run-Flat tyres give a bouncy ride
- 5. Legroom in the rear is very poor - rear seat occupants will feel cramped
