2023 BMW X1 xDrive28i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Best all around pick in its class when looking at both the luxury and mainstream competition.
Pros:
Driving dynamics - Has more than enough power and is surefooted in corners. Braking is superb and has good braking feel.
Comfort - Very quiet ride for its class and delivers a very supple ride. M sport seats provide ample lateral support though it is a bit hard to get in and out of due to … the high bolsters.
Fuel economy - Better than expected for the performance this car delivers.
Build quality - Everything is well put together with high quality materials. Zero creaks, rattles, or noticeable panel gaps.
Cons:
Auto start/stop function - Can only be disabled through the touch screen menu and defaults to "ON" every time the car starts. Produces significant lag when at a stop and must be finessed in order to get the car to take off smoothly.
Infotainment - Lack of physical switches and removal of rotary knob. iDrive8 feels like a downgrade from iDrive7.
Steering feel - Feels highly assisted and lacks feedback.
Overall this car is well worth the money, even when fully loaded at $50k.
