Used 2020 BMW 1 Series for sale near Blaenavon

The first two generations of the BMW 1 Series were rear-wheel drive, which was good for delivering a car that was fun to drive, but not so good for practicality, as the running gear takes up passenger and luggage space. The 2020 BMW 1 Series, however, is part of the third generation of 1 Series – known as the F40 to BMW enthusiasts – and this is front-wheel drive, except for certain four-wheel-drive models. This means there’s more space than before for passengers and luggage, yet the switch to front-wheel drive somehow doesn’t compromise BMW’s traditionally engaging driving experience.
## Strengths: Latest model offers more interior space than its predecessor
Cabin is made from high-quality materials
Engaging to drive
## Weaknesses: Firm ride, especially if you choose an M Sport
BMW purists may be put off by the front-wheel-drive chassis
Not as practical as a Honda Civic or VW Golf
## Is the 2020 BMW 1 Series better than the 2020 Audi A3? The 2020 Audi A3 offers snappy styling, high-tech gadgets and a premium feel, but it’s not as well finished as the 2020 BMW 1 Series, and the BMW is undoubtedly the more satisfying car if driving fun is high on your priority list.
