I just wish they improve the quality of some of the interior trim (eg instument binnacle and centre console) which is my only real gripe.
The quality of the interior plastics is the one thing that would really turn me off of this vehicle. It would be for my wife, and she really likes the exterior and interior design, but quality of the interior plastics is pretty bad. It's encouraging to note that BMW did just this with the X3 when it was released in 2004; by the 2005 model year, most of the interior plastics had been upgraded. Let's hope that they follow this same pattern with the X1.
