Anyone drive/driven an X1?
"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon Musk -
Looks ugly, much prefer the X2 or the Jag E-Pace
What sort of budget are you on?The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
Sister in law has an X1.
Definitely ticks the box of "compact"
If you're anywhere near 6ft tall and sitting in the front, either no one sits behind you, or your knees are round your ears. Also standard spec is fairly chronic.
What are your requirements/budget?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

For an alternative:
VW Tiguan/Seat Ateca/Skoda Kodiaq/Karoq (all based on the same platform, all bigger inside than an X1)
Volvo XC40
Merc GLA (not much bigger than the BMW)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
