Hyundai is vile.

I've always like the 1er, only the 4-door hatch is a bit off. 3-door hatch and Coupe look lovely.

The E30's natural genetic heir.

I noticed today how familar the i30 looks to the 1 series, but come on its a hyundai no where near in the same legue as the 1 series, 1 series looks a lot smarter too

my bro in law is selling his 135i coupe folks, yours for £22,995 57 reg black, black leathers and about 25,000 on the clock. Weapon

the hatches look gay and the i30 looks much better. The "1er" coupe is the E30's true modern replacement

i think the hyundia looks like a more modern version of the bmw. the 1 series looks dated and slab like now.

That hyundia is a sorry looking spastic of a car!

The 1 series hatch needs to be in the right colour to look good but the 1 series coupe is stunning!

I was in traffic yesterday with a black one alongside me, behind it was an almost new 3 series coupe, the 1 series really looked odd !

I have yet to drive one,
