I've been driving the BMW 1 Series as my daily commuter for some time now. This car has a quite compact size, with a length of about 4.3 meters, width close to 1.8 meters, height slightly over 1.4 meters, and a wheelbase of 2670 mm. It's particularly agile in the city, easily fitting into tight parking spaces in residential areas without the headache of larger SUVs. Living in an old urban area with many narrow alleys, its width is just right for navigating tight roads without worrying about scrapes; the lower height also makes getting in and out easier, especially on rainy days. The trunk space is around 350 liters, sufficient for groceries and luggage; the rear seats are a bit smaller but comfortably accommodate two people. Another advantage of its smaller size is the lower drag coefficient, which helps with fuel efficiency, saving money during city traffic jams. The overall design is well-balanced, offering both a sporty feel and practicality. For beginners or those frequently driving in urban areas, the size is thoughtfully arranged, avoiding any sense of bulkiness.
