The BMW 114 is the entry-level model from the second generation of the BMW 1 Series, produced between 2011 and 2019. This smart hatch delivers rear-wheel drive agility and upmarket finishes at a much friendlier price point, with many UK drivers turning to it for reliable and relatively efficient commuting. While the 114 may lack outright pace and rear space compared to rivals like the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3, it arguably offers more driving fun. Expect sharp handling and an engaging feel behind the wheel with a good dose of comfort for both you and your passengers. Signature advantages over the average family hatchback remain its strong engine, sturdy build and elegant interior.
