BMW 1 Series 2017 Hatchback 360 degree test drive | Passenger Rides

Step inside, sit down and buckle up as Mat takes your on a 360 degree test drive of the BMW 1 Series. This hatchback is the only car in its class to feature rear wheel drive! However, how does the BMW 1 series handle on open roads? What about driving around town? The BMW has eight different engines to chose from, including the top of the range M135i option, but which is the right choice for you? Mat answers all these questions, as well as putting the 1 Series through its paces in our 360 degree test drive. Remember to watch this on a mobile device or tablet for the best 360 experience, and to be able to properly move around the vehicle.

although front wheel drive, if it's based on the mini it should make for a good drive. maybe not quite as good as this rear drive chassis, but still good.

In a poll they did 80 % of people who had a 1 series they thought it was fwd already

My God! Listening to you was a little tricky over the wind/tyre noise in the cabin. Still it's a shame they are getting rid of the unique rear wheel drive setup for the next generation 1 series.

What do you have against the manual transmission?

Nice but i think i will wait for the front wheel drive verson 😃

Noisy, uncomfortable, cramped, poorly equipped, shit interior. ONLY pro is that it's good to drive. My experience of driving this as a courtesy car. Simply put, the Audi A3 is leagues above this in almost every single area!
