Re the steering, I have an xDrive and I don't have any problems with it. I noticed in a lot of reviews people talked about the heavy steering but seriously - get to the gym. When I got back in my Golf recently, I noticed it was lighter but I also have a 68 Sunbeam Rapier without power steering and THAT has heavy steering but I still manage...and I'm just a girl. OK, I'm a big strong girl, but seriously.
I agree, my X1 is heavier than my previous Golf as well but still quite comfortable. Saying that X1's in the UK come standard with electrically assisted steering as I suspect does yours. One thing I have never got to the bottom of is whether its an option in some countries, and if so, how heavy is it then without it.
