I've decided to stick with my decision to buy an X1, but will definitely opt for the auto.

Right... The offset pedals.. Designed as a LHD some cars have that problem with their RHD versions. Audis being particularly bad in that respect.

Can't tell for the X1 though.. Our Commonwealth members have not really brought it up as far as I can tell.

Auto is a good choice though. Wouldve taken 20d auto myself had I had some say in the matter.
