DUMB review!
Not everyone looks at the price difference (honestly, even if the X1 was more expensive, we will buy it over X3), or the cubic feet in the trunk. For some people, a smaller car is a better choice for their needs. I always thought that buying a bigger car than your needs is just a waste of money, more weight to cary, bigger gas consumption, more to wash, more to wax...
We wanted something smaller, X1 was not available in North America, test drove 3 times X3. My wife has always the same answer: Nope! Too big!
We decided to wait for the X1.
She is in love now, she even said she will never buy something else, this is the car she feels and love, next one will be also the X1.
From my point of view, which is more technical and performance wise, I think this car is sporty, practical and full of fun. Really.
