I've never driven my X1 at the limit or anywhere close to it, nor do I intend to. That was never my intention in buying the car. It was always going to be my 'day car' so driving traits at or close to 'the limit' are somewhat academic.
Before I purchased the car I thought about how I use a car, what for and over what distance, what elements of a car/driving I liked, what type of roads it would be used on, and how many people it would carry (most of the time), and the X1 was a close fit against my requirements.
What I hoped to achieve was a sensible compromise between power, handling and practicality, and this I've now got.
