Fishing could be anywhere. I like the general spec and looks of the X1. Having something reasonably small helps with parking in France. The idea of a quality 4x4 appeals to me, especially if the consumption is reasonable. Can anyone advise me on a choice of model in the X1 range?
Hi barbel, welcome to the forum

I think the best would to be to try and read as many of the threads on here as you can. Especially the older posts around a year ago contain lots of discussions on the various models as they came out.

Not sure which engine types you get there but the first decision would be, petrol or diesel?

We don't get petrols here but in my opinion the 2.0d XDrive in auto is the pick of the bunch, although I am sure some of our friends on here would disagree

Anyway, the next step would be to try and test drive as many different variants as you can. We will help with the options as well
