Generally good remarks for handling and interior roominess in other evaluations.
Personally, I am a bit worried about the 8-speed Aisin AUTO not being on par with superb AUTO from ZF.
I will await hybrid version of X2 with electric RWD and 2:d gen X4 before making a decision.

I have read all the reviews on the X1 and the car is a totally different animal and does not compare to an SUV. It is a Subcompact SUV that is as much a crossover as anything else.
North Oxford BMW had the X1 and X3 sitting end to end in the showroom so that clients could make a comparison. In my view it is a raised hatchback on steroids. It does not mean I would not entertain purchasing one, but I will wait for the new X3 before committing myself.
