Speed is a very attractive characteristic when it comes to the vehicle you desire to drive. For those who are happy with a comfortable ride for their family this factor is not a big issue. But those passionate drivers who cannot imagine a vehicle without giving satisfactory performance, every aspect matters.
This BMW 1 Series is giving its owners a treat worth taking from an excellent engine under its bonnet. BMW 120i is a very able one among its category not only impressing its occupier by its looks, also from its technology side and sound driving. More speed, better fuel economy, improved dynamics and an even more prominent outlook is giving its follower more reasons to worship.
With minor changes in the latest facelift this one has been made a perfect definition of a looker. You cannot resist turning back when you see one on the road. For some the styling is awkward, but in actual it is a fresh wave of wind in the traditional BMW design.
This model gets a 2.0-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine which gives off an impressive output of 181bhp with twin pipes. As any other engine in this category this one also proves to be quick and well behaved no matter you are in town or on the highway.
Fuel economy is very impressive which ads up to the advantage of owning this one. The time it takes to cover from 0-62mph is 7.1 which is a really good one for a starting engine. Overtaking is not a problem with a tight grip of road and obeying the steering for even a slight movement.
Although there is a little stiffness in the manners of drive but with the entire minor negativity one cannot deny the performing engine and the way its suspension works while driving.
The ones who give a positive opinion about this one complaint the delay in the launch of this face lift, because they believe that if it was done earlier there would have been a no chance for rivals to be in such a close competition.
No matter in what speed you are the traction is never lost even when the driver is struggling to avoid any accidental condition. The car provides full support to any situation for its occupiers.
The interior is of fabric rather than leather this time which creates a sense of comfort inside despite of hard leather. Some very prominent installments support the verdict of perfection.
Easy to use navigational system with the BMW iDrive system accompanied by touch system is very useful. USB interface, voice control, BMW radio, 20GB of audio files, 8.8 inch display screen with very clear vision and also the driver’s assistance chunk all lifts the value.
Both the front seats are electronic letting you choose the comfortable position. This means that anyone of any size can get comfortable with allowed adjustments. Critics say that rear seating gets a cramped leg room which is rather true, but this isn’t a family car in real sense it is more of a sports car created for adventure, for any other reason there are more in the market.
