The BMW 1 Series is the current class favourite, and in 125i M Sport guise, it delivers great performance to BMW customers without sacrificing efficiency. But is is better than its Audi A3 1.8 TFSI and Mercedes A250 CGI AMG competitors? AutoExpress publishes an interesting comparison between these thee cars and ultimately, the BMW 125i M Sport still reigns supreme. Learn why on this excerpt and verdict:
By pushing the A-Class upmarket, Mercedes has set its newest addition on a risky collision course with some of the best models in the business. So has the gamble paid off?
Well, if you value style above everything else, the Mercedes scores a direct hit. And although some of the cabin quality is a little below par, the interior is eye-catching and packed with clever hi-tech equipment.
Yet there’s no escaping the fact the all-new A-Class isn’t quite as roomy as its rivals, and it doesn’t feel as composed on the road. It also costs more to fuel and service. As a result, it finishes a disappointing third in this test.
Separating the BMW and Audi is tougher. The A3 is beautifully built, handsome and features a keen engine, but ultimately it can’t quite match the brilliant 1 Series. Fast, fun, practical and cost effective to run, the BMW is still the champ.
