Serin's latest advert sig inspired this poll.
I drove a BMW 1 hire car in Barcelona last weekend and thought on the whole that it was a very good car, but there were a few niggling things, other than it being left hand drive.
The indicator stick always returns to the centre so you have to indicate the other way to cancel it if you don't turn sharply enough for it to cancel automatically, but if you time it worngly or push it too hard, it just indicates the other way, most annoying when you have indicated in each direction three times before managing to cancel it.
The window controls are in an annoying position, causing you to have to contort yourself in order to open or close the windows.
The engine on the other hand seems excellent. It was a deisel, but still plenty nippy enough and very quiet other than at very low revs, when it was fairly obviously a deisel. Good standard spec as well.
