Car looks cheap, and has no environmentally-conscious power.
However, I can see your point about being a workhorse for everyday life.

Ok...
I don't really know what you mean by that but no I don't expect the X1 to handle as well as my 335 coupe, but I expect it to handle better than a lot if not most of the coupes on the road today. The 240 bhp turbo l4 was specifically put in this car so it would get great mileage and yet still deliver good power (it will probably be at the top of its class in mileage.) Is there any other reason to put a turbo 4 in any car??
Being in the US, I haven't driven one yet, but I have read several road tests from European sites, and they agree with my summary.
As far as it looking cheap, I don't know what you mean by that. Do you mean compared to the luxury of your Jetta?
I didn't call it a workhorse. I would not call it that at all.
