The 1 series feels quite a bit smaller and more cramped in the cabin and boot when compared to the golf.

Yes very cramped! I'm only average height (5ft 8) but I found it a squeeze in the back.. Even though it was a 5 door I test drove, I found getting in & out of the back a bit of a struggle too. It's a BIG improvement over the old 1 series, but this was one of the main reasons I opted for the Golf instead.

Completely agree with that, test drove a 120d late last year and was a little underwhelmed tbh, that was mainly due to the engine but although the interior was a nice place to sit it was cramped for the dealer sat behind my 6'2" frame.

Just specced up a 135i to the same ish spec as the GTI i've ordered and it comes to £36820, that includes the standard leather in the BMW but i'd rather have the cloth that used to be an option, my GTI is £33175 and although i quite like the BMW in M sport guise, i don't think it's worth that much.

Agreed... I would definitely pay £31k for one, but when we're talking £36k then its a completely different ball game.

This reviewer essentially says that the PP is an absolute must have and the car feels much faster than just 10 hp more. He goes on to say that after testing it he WILL be buying one for himself :)
