BMW 1 SERIES (2004-CURRENT)
We Say...
BMW managed to preserve the brand's panache in designing a car built for the drive. It's certainly not practical with more space for the engine than rear occupants. Still, you can deny that it's mighty fun to own with its cheerful engines, F/R layout and capability to do road hijinks. Ride is terrible and you can't go out of town with it, but we still love it.
The everyday track car.
It's a one trick pony.
