For
This is appreciably quicker than the 18d, but barely any less economical. Its engine is flexible, too, and being only two-wheel drive means it costs less to run than the four-wheel-drive model.
Against
The ride will be a shade too firm for some and the interior plastics leave a lot to be desired. It's not the most practical of Crossovers, either.

out of 5 stars
The best X1 we've driven to date, and it’s cheap to run, too. Like all X1s, though, it’s disappointing in a few areas.
