  • There are only a handful of rear wheel drive hatchbacks in the world and the 1 series is easily the best. It’s small, nimble, lots of fun and easy to live with on a day to day basis. Good ones are going for tempting prices these days.
    We drive one of the rarer LCI cars in Chennai to tell you how much fun it is!

    Great Job... I feel you can do a Volvo V40 / Cross country....
    I had bought a pre-owned BMW 116i in 2016/2017 and used it for 24+ months -- then my choice was between 1 Series and V40... I got the 116i lower spec trim as 118d higher spec had a price differential of over 5-6L and was in demand in used market... 116i was easier to source then -- I closed the deal post a 3M negotiation, no takers for petrol.... Great Car - lacked the punch of the Diesel but for me it was a city run about..

    Vivekji I have a doubt -actually front wheel drive cars giving more traction than rear wheel because engine weight gives more traction to wheel compared to rear.
    I think audi quatro gives 60% power to front wheel 40% at rear and quatro became one of best four wheel system amoung cars..

      Super Sapien said it. Weight transfer during acceleration is what gives rear wheel drive its traction during launch.
      However on low grip surfaces and on ramps, a RWD struggles because of lack of weight over the driven wheels
