I do not get X1 yet. I am a future owner. I did a 15 min test drive yesterday on a X1 sDrive 28i. It is comfortable, good acceleration and quiet. I did not feel driving a SUV. I felt light, like driving a sport sedan. If you want to listen suggestions, I would like to give you two suggestions:
1. If money is not your concern, try to order xDrive rather sDrive.
2. If you decided to order sDrive, try to avoid Servotronic Steering option.
The reason I give the suggestions is that during test drive I felt X1 sDrive 28i steering is too loose at low speed, even worse than my Japanese car (2001 Infiniti I30). At high way speed, the steering tighten up, similar to my Infiniti I30. Because it is BMW, we should get a heavy steering to feel the sporty and stable driving pleasure, right?
