The car has more rattles than a 1959 Edsel (if you're under 50- look it up), the a/c only works really well when it's not too hot out, the steering is totally lacking in road feel and it corners like a 1981 Oldsmobile. I can't wait until my lease is over!

Seriously?!?! We must have completely different vehicles. My '13 X1 xdrive35i is a blast. I find it planted yet compliant, no rattles, A/C seems to work just fine, and the xdrive still has hydraulic steering (though slightly spoiled by mandatory servotronic). To be fair the 6 speed auto does suck a little.
Almost 30k miles on it with no complaints. Had an E85 Z4 that was a POS, and E83 X3 that was a dog compared to the X1.
