BMW 118i 5 Door (F20)
R209,950
VAT Included
One Of The Best Premium Hatchbacks On Sale
There’s a bit more space inside this generation of BMW 118 Series than the first, and the interior ergonomics, for front seat occupants, are excellent. Added to that, there’s BMW’s usual build quality, which does nothing to detract from the 1 Series’ quality feel, and there’s the excellent iDrive infotainment system. It feels like a premium car that will more than satisfy the demands of the high-mileage executive plodding the SA’s byways.
On the move, the BMW 118i isn’t ultra-fast, but it is swift enough to feel fun. Pushing through busy traffic, using the ‘Sport’ driving mode for a little bit more response. The 1 Series keeps up with the flow and feels every bit the BMW you have always wanted.
Economy from the little four-cylinder is pretty good too, returning 8.7L/100km on our mainly urban test. BMW claims consumption as low as 5.8L/100km for a highway cycle. I kept the start-stop function on for the majority of my time with the car.
The BMW 118i is a nice car, about to be made nicer by the face-lift – so if a 118i is your idea of a good entry point to the BMW stable, then now’s the time to grab a deal.
