Never drove the up so can't comment on what they are like. Polo is smaller than 1 series though

I had a 500 abarth bought new july 2010
Sold it in june 2012 as it need big service, 4 tyres, new disc and pads all round and it had 26k on the clock
Bought a new 118d sport cabriolet, different car alltogether, main reason was the mpg figure and lower running costs

Think ive talked her out of the fiat 500; had a look inside one today and wasnt to impressed. Got it narrowed down to a Leon FR TDI which is 6 months old and a couple of thousand miles on the clock or keep the Beemer.
Here is the 1 series in question

Keep the beemer. You know where you are at, nice build quality and I don't care what anyone says but its Audi>VW>Seat>Skoda. Stuff filters down so I would not be shocked if a 2010 BMW was only as good as a 2013 Seat.
