Its compact shape suits town driving, while the diesel engine and rear seats make it practical for commuting and longer journeys.

The 118d’s rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a more engaging feel than many front-wheel-drive hatchbacks, while the three-door body has a sportier look than a five-door. The Edition ES trim offers an everyday feel. This used BMW 1 Series suits singles, couples or small households wanting premium character without a large car.
