steep descents
any loose soft sand
any muddy bog holes

Also did you use any of the 4wd technology i.e DTC, Hill descent control, etc

Thanks

Yohans, apologies, we haven't got our X1 yet - and we've ordered the 2WD version.

The 4x4 driving I've done has been in Range Rovers, Land Rovers (series 2, 3 and defenders), Izuzu Troopers and a bit in Fronteras - This has been a mix of farmland, general forest tracks and also specialised 4WD courses that employ a complete mix of the things you ask about.

My point was that in the video of the X1, it did better than I expected - In our case however, we're buying this for the road and that's why we've gone for a 2WD - If I'm going to play off road, I'll buy something I don't mind scratching !!
