Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review |

While there is ample room in my Sebring, the seats are not designed for long trips. Hard, ungiving seats are my complaint. see full Chrysler Sebring review |
