Overall rating 4/5If you want practicality with a touch of excitement, look no further than the BMW 125. It combines quality materials, smart design and strong performance. There have been a few generations of this car, but it has retained its fun driving spirit throughout. The second generation (from 2011) sharpened the drive, boosted cabin space and modernised infotainment, so opt for later models if those features are a must for your lifestyle. The 125 rivals sporty versions of the Audi A3 or VW Golf, though it often feels more rewarding behind the wheel. It can lag behind in terms of rear space and boot size, but is smooth to drive on motorways and comes with a strong reliability record.
