Taste of the forbidden fruit (again) in UK
BMW 2-series Gran Tourer
Likes: It's the most space efficient BMW we've seen, well ever. It's not dull to drive and the interior is up to snuff with BMW Standards.
Dislikes: Has BMW finally sold its soul? After seeing this vehicle, we're convinced it's a 'huge' yes. The ride is way too firm for MPV standards and it's priced like a BMW too.
Overall: An MPV for those who are badge snobs or badge conscious.
Audi A1
Likes: Despite the small size, this Audi really does pack a mean punch in performance and refinement. It's quite a handsome little thing to look at.
Dislikes: We can't have it and it'll be expensive if it was sold here.
Overall: Considering how high gas prices are in the UK. We see why smaller cars are essential.
Mercedes B-class
Likes: It's spacious inside with plenty of efficient engines to choose from. We like it because it's such an oddball Mercedes.
Dislikes: The more powerful engines command a hefty price premium. It's not exactly 'charming' inside the cabin and some materials used don't feel up to Mercedes 'standards'.
Overall: It's an MPV that's trying to win buyers for badge appeal.
Volvo V40
Likes: It's still refreshingly Non-German in design and overall driving experience. We absolutely love the LED headlights that are fitted standard kit on all V40 trim levels.
Dislikes: It uses an old Ford Focus platform. The newer Volvos make this one feel unloved. The diesel engines are boomy.
Overall: The XC40 shows a glimpse of what the new V40 may look like.
Kia Picanto
Likes: The new turbocharged three-cylinder is quite literally the best engine of the range. The more expensive trims get sportier styling and loads of standard kit.
Dislikes: Avoid the 1-liter non-turbo at all costs unless you are not going to venture on the motorway, like ever.
Overall: The Kia Picanto is one of our favorite superminis. It's a cheeky little thing with loads of charm and personality.
