Hey guys!

Just curious, whats the furthest you have driven in your X1?
Also, do you find the car suitable for long distance driving?

400 Miles from Holland to South West UK, love the ride, the higher driving position and good MPG. Cruise Control is a must for long journeys and SatNav makes it so easy. Only had mine for 2 months and cant get enough of it. I am a fan..

1200kms Sydney to Brisbane, with the wife and a baby onboard. I've done that drive in a few different cars over the years and this was the most comfortable.

It's quite well behaved on the highway, and the diesel is a dream for tackling hills with the cruise control on.

900km roundtrip over a long weekend in my 23d with GF and dog. As others have said, it's very comfortable, quiet, fuel efficient and powerful. Overtaking is a breeze in mine - still pulls strong from 110km/h. Cruise control is great. I should note that I have the sports seats and 18" RFT but it was still good.

1500km and back from Durban to Cape Town. Took the Wife, 2 kids and baby, as well as mother-in-law. Also had a boot full of luggage. Trip was enjoyable, car was a breeze to drive. I have a 23d M Sport. Averaged 8.8l per 100km and had the vehicle floorboarded most of the trip. Top speed achieved was 232kph on a flat road.
