BMW 116d Review - The hubbie's car

Hello, my name's Jayne and I own a BMW 1-Series. It's basically my husband's car but I get to use it when he's not at work. It's a really nice car to drive, as I think it's rear-wheel drive, which means it feels nice through corners and has plenty of grip.

My husband tells me it's not big enough inside, but I never have any problems with space. It's probably not the best looking car in the world, but my hubby just want something to get him to and from work, so I suppose that doesn't matter.

Its diesel engine is a really good plus point. It's very responsive and always feels gutsy enough - although, I should point out, it isn't quick. We're getting on a bit, so we need to slow it down!

The BMW 116d is a very good car with a few flaws, but I think anyone would be happy with one. It does what it says on the tin.
