Are these for women? Image is all important, I dont know enough about
BMW's 1 series except its an ugly bugger but might do to replace the van.

cue Moff in his 1 series coupe!
I chased a 130i in my S the other day quick little rascal!

 

Funny you should mention a van.

They always remind me of Wallace & Gromit's A35 van.

Mind you, even they've got Germanitis now; that's actually a Lloyd LT600 van in the NPower commercials...

 

Cut the crap and tell me is it a girls car Nick!

Impressed with ours.
Handling and grip very good as is performance.
Average 42mpg with local stop/start driving, gets a lot better on a trip.
Same 2 litre engine as the 120d but turbo chipped differently so easy to improve both performance and mpg with chipping I understand. Standard 143bhp/4000rpm.
Not a lot of room in the back but the front very comfy with fully adjustable wheel and seat. Very quiet at high speeds, easy to exceed speed limits. Good boot.
Definitely a keeper.

 

It's funny when you see this teeny wee head peering over the waistline of the thing; no wonder they always drive so bloody slow!

I've seen a few in Estate Agents' liveries. That tells you all you need to know.

 

If you want decent leg room in the back get a Golf instead

 

i've never understood the want for a quick diesel.

i want something frugal that is good to drive..

get a modern petrol. it will have a power band wider than a gnats cock and will not sound like a skeleton having a w**k in a dustbin when cold.

it's simple. i want economy - diesel
i want something good to drive - petrol

dont break the rules.. van? transit.

 

I agree with you on the Prius.

 

A lady on my road had one. She absolutely loves it.

Then again it is shaped like her.
