Test Driver Ratings & Comments
Acceleration comments	Whoa, I wasn't expecting it to be this quick! Power everywhere all the way up to redline. Upshifts in DS (Drive Sport) are noticeably quicker than Drive, which provides smooth but slow shifts. The X1 auto-upshifts in Manual mode and that was the quickest run -- it also does rev-matched downshifts. Bonus points for shift-lever shift-logic with downshifts push-forward and upshifts pull-rearward, but it seems to want shift paddles, too.
Braking comments	Firm pedal, little dive and near zero fade, but merely acceptable distances. Predictable and early jump-in, linear progression.
Handling comments	Slalom: So this is what a BMW used to feel like -- with hydraulic-assist steering. Input elicits an intuitive response. Build-up and effort levels are spot on. Good balance, but I could sense the rear wanted to walk around a bit. Also, it took several runs before I felt like I knew what to expect from (latent/dynamic) ESC and or xDrive shuffling power around. I'm still not quite certain which systems were at work, but it posted an impressive speed. Skid Pad: Good grip, but boy do these front tires feel and sound tortured. Again, hard to feel entirely connected or in charge with the turbo surging, the all-wheel drive doing its thing and ESC lurking in the background.
