Why are people thinking about rear-seat space so much in a small car? It's a car that is not made to transport 5 adults all the time. It can, but it's not meant to do so in the first place.

ITS ME Its because its RWD, wich means the engine is straight with the car and not on the side ike on Fwd, it takes alot more space.
My seat is very forward so theres plenty of space in the back behind me. not so much in the passengers side but I only carry myself and the odd adults maybe 5 times a year lmao
I agree, I owned this Generation for 4 years and it is perfect for 1 or 2 people!
Exactly, why would you get this car if you're after lots of space?!
Can’t believe how far Matt has come! He’s been in the game for ages
Air conditioning as standard!! I'm sold.
It's standard on most cars...
TheGreatSheikh He was being sarcastic
Wow I must've been half awake when i commented that
Just bought one... The drive is phenomenal!
This
Had an old e90 and im more than pleased with this car
Hope it goes like a dream. But first check if it has the N47 engine. If so, keep a good eye on it and check out" timing chain N47 BMW". People are spending around 2 grand in preventative maintenance as they are worried about the notorious chain snapping. If it's not N47, congratulations. Enjoy!
I've just got myself the 2017 model 118d and it's the best investment i've ever made on a car
Im considering it, however i specifically want a 2013 model as ive been left some money for a car by my family but itll be my first car. personally i think its a smart move as out of most cars surely it hs one of the best re sale values as it is a rwd and none others in the class are + people will buy it "for the badge" BUT its expensive and insurance may be quite high, although not unaffordable. But i get the impression its a bit of a silly choice as a first car and my parents will be sceptical, any advice?
I got a 116iA (A for automatic) from November 2014... fantastic car in the Estoril Blue color with upgraded navigation and M-sport package. Fantastic as a first car.. or even as a car you want for a city use etc. as well as being able to take it on long trips on highways.
Just purchased the 120d M Sport Auto in this shape, Stunning car and phenomenal drive!
Dude Mat Watson is actually in this damn
What amazing storage. . . . Door bins, cupholders, a glove box, a compartment in the center console. . . wow. . . . OH MY GOD IT HAS A STORAGE COMPARTMENT NEAR THE WHEEL! This car is amazing!
Look young mat watson😂
I love your style of reviewing!!! Both your personality and your practical review style!
Hey
4:33 - being that said, is the only car this size i would buy
I have had this car for about 4years now, absolutely love it! (bmw 116d)
Just amazing! I'll get one 116d in the end of this month and I expect I won't regret. I have tried it and the driving is very soft and the car is just beautiful and very comfortable, mine will be black, with 17" tyres and sport line
I just drove the 116D as hire car on vacation, I loved the handling and the engine was really good.
The reverse gear was difficult to select at first, but once you get the hang of it, it was no problem.
It was my first ever BMW ride, and now I now what it means, BMW macht fahren Spaß.
Just got one in the exact colour, 116D 2.0 2014 plate, 40.000 miles, absolute bargain cars immaculate 1 previous lady owner!! Happy days!.
how much did you spend for it bro
i like his honest enthusiasm. Good review!
Hey
Super review! One of the best reviewer in all Internet space
It's still the only hatchback on the market today with rear wheel drive. I want one!
Bimmer! been waiting for this video for so long!
As usual great job, you are a natural communicating with the cameras and talking about cars.
I was going to mention your heavy breathing at the beginning of the video...but watching all the junk food you carry on the car gave me a straight answer.
i like the way this guy reviews cars
well done, good job
I love these reviews!
a friend of mine has it. Very good car even after 10 years
Thanks for filming in HD.
i love this hatch its really cool looking
Nice review... great car! I love that it's not just another pretty face, but rather one with character and style. I've driven one too, came away very impressed and wanting to buy one!
great review, i just bought one, 3 doors, 2014, 114d, it feels very sporty to drive and it´s very confortable too.
SaintMeran and how is it?
Why did you get the 2 door? Using the back seats is a pain in 2 door cars. I don't understand why they even make 2 door hatchbacks? Like what's the point?
I got it ,BMW 118d 2.0 turbo charged rear wheel drive, it’s a thrill to drive this German beauty
EXCELLENT VIDEO! EXCELLENT CAR! GOOD WORK to CarBuyer!
Great reviews, I really like your style. Keep it up! :D
Hey
Got this in grey it is amazing
Great review! My favorite reviewer :))
Hey
I wish we had this beautiful hatch in the US
hahaha That's it dude, I did the same as you did, hated it at first criticized it for the looks, but when I got to see it personally and did the test drive and everything, it all changed and I started to love it and have just bought a 118i Full... Nice to heard it wasn't just me how thought that way... cheers!
nice review
such a nice car and its quite fast not as slow as people think and very up to date even now in 2022 it looks like a well up to date car
Looking into buying a 2014 1 series as my 2nd car, the one I’m looking at has 67k miles. Do you have any things I should look out for?
@@JustFrags just bought a bmw 1 series 118i m sport for my first car I'm scared to drive the thing hH
I’m a bit late but i’m looking for a new car and this is one of the options. I currently drive a 2013 corsa limited edition, and despite the great, sporty looks, it’s really slow only being a 1.2 and i fear the fact it’s so slow you have to completely use up each gear to get anywhere because there is no power, ironically using more fuel in the process. I know the 116i is a 1.6 and has more power, and slightly worse fuel economy, but am i right in guessing fuel would work out roughly the same as this is more efficient and has the eco pro mode?
lols the best review from all other vids, love the emergency kit-kat compartment. lolz
You are a funny guy Mat. You prove your point to the extreme. I like that.
Informative review!Thank you!
Ordered one!Can’t wait!
hari saini enjoy!!!
Aaaaaah! Love these reviews! :D
Hey
If you want the most power for the cheap. Get the 114i, and buy an M sport 118i front bumper. The cheaper road tax, the cheaper insurance and generally the fact that the car is much much much cheaper than the 118i is great. Then get a 118i ecu remap or get he 118i performance ecu remap. All 1 series model have the same engine. Exactly the same. Not even a part different. You’ll get a 118i for 114i money. Amazing right?
this is a good looking car. I like the headlights xD
One of the best hatchback
Got mine 3 weeks ago exact same spec (and colour) as the one in this video 62 plate one though I love it 😍
John Doe how is it?
martinnmartin genuinely a brilliant car. A lot faster than you think the 116i
How are you finding it??? I wish mine was species like yours lol. Mine doesn’t even have idrive. At least they are easy to work on!
What's your average fuel consumption? Im on 7.5l/100km and wondering sometimes if it's not too thirsty
@@makhenojones6784 I got rid a while ago now I moved to a golf gtd, from what I remember the fuel weren’t too bad as I had the 116i
how can you upload a 2013 model car in 2011 time travel ?
I think this car looks great, especially with the new look at the front and rear.
When you guys are getting out the reviews on the new A-Class and V40?
Cheers
Love your reviews!!! Can you please review an Audi A5?? That would be awesome!
It's awesome that Mat wore his t-shirt and shoes to match the beemer's exterior :-)
My father bought this as my sister's first car. The performance is truly amazing. The exterior design is quite unique compared to the previous model. However I'm not really satisfied about the interior, it seems to be missing the luxurious look. My father's IS300 2009 could easily beat the interior to top it off. But overall, it's a great car if you're not looking for any higher priced model or as your first car.
What's the deal with the door bins and cubies in these reviews?
When the quantity of cubies or the size of a glove box constitutes the measure of a good / bad car?
@Biltesteren You are absolutely right! When I first saw a picture of the new 1 series, i also though it was kind of ugly, but when I had the opportunity to see and drive it at the dealer my mind change and I now believe it is quite cool and good looking!
yup! and the headlights of the f10. I think they are changing the bumpers too.
Can't quite agree with the generalization, but oh, such a satisfying in-your-face response for the ever-provocative Alfisti out there!!
Great engines
At the end of November (2017) I will be buying the 2013 1 series using the money which I’ve been saving for momths. But I will be buying the Diesel M Sport 2 Ltr version in white with red leather interior and I can’t wait to drive it :)
Reminds me of the 5series GT.
I tested two of the last models and reviewed a 120d and a 116i on my channel. I really loved them. But this new design...
Interior: Love it
Exterior: I'm just waiting for the M-sport Edition :D
honestly it is a nice idea but hatches like this one or for example it's competitor have to be comfortable as well as sporty and practical. Both of those which I mention earlier are sporty and comfortable but the 1 series has not enough space to fit in five persons for a longer ride. It is because of the gear train which has to deliver the power back to the rear axle through the car which uses a lot of space. For me as a tall person (1,95m) the 1 series isn't an option. Hope I could explain it.
This car looks so much different in person! I thought it looked a bit bit odd at first when I saw on it online, but in the showroom it looks really nice! If your looking at a hatchback in person it looks a lot nicer than the A3.
You are a month early for Halloween.
Trick or treat!
@RedJoker Indeed, personally, i feel that it looks so much better in person than in pictures/videos.
I'd double check the dynamic drive control part. I think the 1 series isnt available with adaptable dampers, think it just changes the throttle response and traction control and stuff :P
i love this car
When I Am Really Hungry, and My Mom Says 5 More Minutes Till Lunch, I Watch Car Videos To Hold Off My Hunger, Specifically Carbuyer. I Watch This Video and I Starved Even More.
It Just HAPPENED that This Episode had So MUCH SNACKS!
i drive in this car every week and i must say it is really comfy
I said it before and I'll say it again. Give this guy his own cartv-show.
I'm buying one tom.
I like the styling
all that's great and stuff. but why would you buy a bmw that does 0-60 in more than 8 seconds? is it very torque-y at low speeds?
It looks almost exactly identical, its crazy
nice video !
i like new 1 serie, much more than old version.. hope i'll buy it
Hello, don’t know if you do have any idea about bmw 1series 116d f20 - 2013. Am having a hard time with Bluetooth audio( telephone 📞 Bluetooth is connected ) but can’t seem to see audio streaming, please I need your help or idea, what can be done
I really hope that the next generation 1 series will stay RWD. I drive a lot in this car and it honestly makes it a completely different class compared to other small cars (in my opinion). Also, the low driving position has something magical about it. I have heard about a survey where the majority of 1 series-drivers didn't know their car was RWD, so it wouldn't be a dealbreaker in future models. But this kind of logic is flawed in my opinion. I think in the long run, BMW will really suffer from shifting to FWD-cars.
Unfortunaly no the next generation BMW 1 Series won't stay RWD it wil transfer BMW 1 Series to FWD like the MINI Cooper one so your unlucky
Rares Malinschi predictably it happened
Sorry mate it is FWD now :(
@@Junglez1001 its still a good car but its not as fun as the rwd models
Matt did you buy that T-shirt from asda it looks like it
i like how his chlothes match the car that he reviews every time :D
The back is completely like the vw polo... what were they thinking of?
how can someone thumb-down this review?? He's adorable!
Anybody from 2021 ?
good thing they are changing the headlights now :)
wow good review, i thing this car is good
hmm, we really need to discuss healthier food & drink options!
I think this car should come to America, it looks great!
BMW are the experts
No questions asked, hands down
There is nothing about this car that makes it look ugly to me. It has great proportions and many of the great BMW design cues you get on the most beautiful BMWs.
I really appreciate Van Hooydonk's effort to include the shark-nose design on a little hatchback. It make it look different - yes - and that's what makes it a great looking car!
same with me but in a different country , Malaysia. They only sell the coupe and the convertible .
EMERGENCY KIT-KAT MAAAN!!! :D Nice review!
Do you think this car is affordable for first car I’m 18 in uk?
Best car
Mine doesn't have the 'secret' compartment below the steering column, which is annoying, as I love Kit Kat!
i am starting to like the looks of this car
this guy loves his side door bins haha
This 1 series (F20) is rear wheel drive. There is a new 1 series variant coming out next year that will be like a VW Golf plus, taller etc. and this will use the newly developed front wheel drive platform
i have ordered it with the big satnav, dont think i really makes that much difference navi whise, but felt it looked better when the screen filled the entire space ;)
A review over a non hatch 1 series for us in America?
Can you just clarify is it the only car this size that has rear wheel drive?
would you please let me know how's your best you want me know how's the way mat
@S1ruMan yes it looks nice when u see it in person rather than from the photo/video
Getting one soon.
+Eric George I detect jelousy 😉
Eric George Yeah, of course you would, you probably drive a Fiat Punto.
Fiat puntos are pretty good cars tbf
