What we like

We largely like the way the 2 Series Gran Coupe drives. It handles well with an excellent chassis and is better than the equivalent Mercedes-Benz CLA. The interior’s a nice place too, with a high-quality finish and lots of tech. 

What we don’t like? 

It’s really not very practical, with limited back seat headroom and an awkward boot – especially on mild-hybrid models. The 220 and M235 engines have refinement issues, as well. This isn’t exactly a cheap car, either – both the Audi A3 Saloon and Mercedes-Benz CLA are available for less money. We’re just not entirely sure who it’s really for, either.
