Went to look at the 1er

in the dealer... Really liked it up close, the back seat is not as bad as they make it up to be, especially if you're a tidy/upright/not-big person. Decent headroom.

Very cute overall, if I didn't have the croc or if I didn't have the bimmer I'd be interested. What gets me is how the interior is 10x better than the 3er interior it's based on. A few curves and a tilt toward the driver go a long way for negating the buick-flat dash. The cupholders are back in a good place too...

Sure I haven't driven it, and sure it's heavy on paper, but I really like it. It's a properly sized car.
