Not the best IMHO, but i can see it being quite popular, especially as the smaller engines will get into the very low vehicle tax bands I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Not seen an X1, but was sat next to an X6 last night in traffic in Edinburgh. Stunning car in the flesh. Total road presence and really chunky. Looked a quality bit of kit for what it is.

that's the one....
Almost a Fiat multipla aura to it, which makes it stand out and be a bit individual.
Acid test...would I have one ? Yes, but not if I was paying for it.

I never really understand 'brand bashing' there are plenty of cars out there that are sooooo much better than the D3.
I does have me puzzled at times, why people jump on other makes and models so feverishly.....maybe a latent homo-bmw fan lurks within themselves
