  1. Answer this question: The best new hatchback available to buy today is… ?

  2. Looks like BMW were envious of the Focus. The original design was a true pig.

  3. I don't like front wheel drive cars

  4. Ugly looking car, all the creases make it looks like it gas been in a car crash.

  5. The problem is that you are much much nicer than the cars you show .. 😄🥰

  6. This looks funny
    I prefer the old one

  7. The new BMW 1 Series – Front Wheel Drive? Transverse Engine? Really BMW? Sorry, but that's not a BMW in my book!!! Even the BMW i3 all electric and plastic pram has rear wheel drive, and is surprisingly fun to drive. This new 1 Series? Not for me!

  8. Does this have android auto?

  9. Front wheel drive makes sense..more cabin room, better performance and more traction in ice/ snow. Smart move BMW.

  10. Nice car but the Golf is much more spacious inside.

  11. Its getting ridiculous to see all the "i have the old BMW bla bla bla.. Gime RWD bla bla bla, they ruined the DNa, bla bla, omg they ruined the car bla bla " fans-united at every review of this car.. Its getting old

    90% of them have driven neither model,

    99% of them have no clue how RWD is driven, or the physics behind, completely oblivious thst at these power outputs it makes no difference, no power drift, only lift-off oversteer, as with any FWD

    100% of them are oblivious that at 140 bhp with all that power loss that the RWD powertrain has, makes the FWD version faster.

    Tech wise and design wise this car is one generation ahead frm F20, drive it first and then form an opinion would be the wiser thing to do.

  12. Me: "Hello?"

    Telemarketer: "This is Brian with Obnoxious Unlimited, how are you doing today?"

    Me: "Hello?"

    Telemarketer: "Hello Michael, are you there?"

    Me: "Michael?"

    Telemarketer: "Yes, is this Michael?"

    Me: [in a totally adult voice] "You want daddy?"

    Telemarketer: "Um, yes. Is your daddy available?"

    Me: "Daddy's smoking cigarettes."

    Telemarketer: "Can you get him for me?"

    Me: "I don't want him to find out what I did."

    Telemarketer: "I'm sorry, what was that?"

    Me: I don't want him to find out what I did."

    Telemarketer: "What did you do? I'm sure it wasn't that bad."

    Me: "I did a poop in the dishes."

    Telemarketer: [struggling not to laugh] "I'm sorry, what did you do?"

    Me: "I climbed up on the kitchen counter and I did a doodle in the sink full of dishes."

    [Telemarketer goes on mute for several seconds to mask what I can only imagine was a raging torrent of laughter]

    Me: "Hello?"

    Telemarketer: "Yes, did you find your daddy for me?"

    Me: "He's smoking cigarettes."

    Telemarketer: "Can you put him on the phone?"

    Me: "He puts them out on mommy's belly."

    Telemarketer: "What's that?"

    Me: "It smells like poop in here."

    Telemarketer: [concerned] "What's that about your mommy's belly?"

    Me: "I need to doodle again."

    Telemarketer: "OK, I need you do do me a favor. Can you do me a favor?"

    Me: "Uh huh."

    Telemarketer: "I need you to go and get your daddy. Can you do that for me?"

    Me: "It's coming out of my butt."

    Telemarketer: "…"

    Me: [grunting] "It's getting all over the carpet. It smells…like…"

    Telemarketer: "Oh. My. God."

    Me: "…dirty taco baby [grunting] poopy doodles…"

  13. Vegan burgers suck

  14. had it for a rental for 24 hrs, put about 120 km on it in middle & rural tokyo. Ride was choppy and the auto dual clutch at low speeds is an absolute disgrace (hurking/jerking/lurching, doesn't interact w/ the brakes well at all) especially combined w/ the auto start/stop. I have no idea why all these auto "journalists" give a free pass for shitty euro cars when they shit on say, asian brand cars with the most minute imperfections.

  15. 7:12 at least the camera won’t break like the ones on Mercedes vehicles

  16. Barely a hatchback at 15 foot long

  17. If Volvo could design and engineer a straight-6 (B6304T / B6324S) to fit transversely – and British Leyland (E Series) – then why can't BMW?

  18. Worst and most ugly copy of series 1. This one looks like a pig.

  19. looks similar to a new ford focus, old shape looks better imo

  20. The BMW 1 Series 2021 looked quite underrated.

  21. this review sounds like car was made by EA, everything is paid option

  22. Poor man's BMW!

  23. Lousy ad for a stupid car.

  24. A front wheel drive BMW with a short hood.. I'd rather have a 10th/11th gen honda civic.

  25. 8:45 you been hitting the gym?

    I don't like it cause it's basically a small 2 series active tourer now
