I test drove this car but actually ended up getting a Mazda CX 5 Premium Plus which surprisingly offered more space and great features for a lower price. It also doesn't feel like I gave anything up by going with non luxury brand.

Actually, you gave up a lot. You will soon notice unfixable squeaks and rattles. Glitchy software. Thin paint not holding up. Cheap plastics used in many places. Seating materials wearing out quicker than normal. And Mazda denying your warranty claims. Been there done that.

@@ARentz07 They aren't equal as someone who has a family member with a CX-5. The interior quality and driving dynamics is definitely a step up over a Honda, Nissan, Toyota but isn't the same as BMW. The technology difference is really where it shows though I personally like the Mazda scroll wheel. The interior packaging of the Cx-5 is poor vs it's competitors. A VW taos, Volvo Xc60 / Xc40 is more spacious inside.

BMW configurator. Active Front Seats including Lumbar Support $450 Active front seats help decrease stiffness or fatigue on long trips. When activated, the seat surface is continuously and imperceptibly raised and lowered from side to side, keeping your spine in motion and exercising various support muscles. This feature also includes front seat lumbar support.

I hated my 2018 X1 sometimes because my body hurt after two and four hour+ roadtrips in those seats. I moved to a RAV4 in 2020. Very interested in the new X1, but I’m also waiting for the new Rivian subcompact because it’s more outdoor friendly.
@Ian-mv4qq8 ай бұрын
I love how you take your entire family in the review/test drive. Really relatable 😃 Things that I hate about this X1 is the no real buttons and the awkward storage under that armrest that is just not practical. You cannot stack things up because it doesn't have walls closing the sides. Really a waste of space. And if I have to nitpick, the cup holders can be a bit higher. I feel like I have to reach further. And if you have tall cups, they'll be blocking your cellphone in the wireless charger. About the firm seats, is it because this is the M Sport package with sport seats and dampened suspensions?

My choice was $45K. I wanted adaptable cruise, head up display, sport seats, lumbar control. Got X-line trim with 18” wheels for better ride. Car is nimble, quick, roomy, easy to get in and out of, comfortable seats. Get 36mpg on highway at 75 mph. A plus is its ability to back you out of tight spot by reversing how you got in there. Defects? Driver’s manual doesn’t discuss menus to set up the car - you must use the in-auto cryptic maze of instructions. Driver must become educated on use of throttle to avoid lags or jumps when starting from a stop. Ride reports bumps and a washboard will make you feel you’re in a massage machine. Nav system is awkward and CarPlay or Waze will become your choice.

We are on a 39 days roundtrip in western USA and have driven a rental 2023 BMW x1, 2.8ltr for about 3.500 miles. Very nice to drive, but a terrible layout on the dash and infotainment system. It is very confusing and takes lots of your attention away from your driving. If you use the GPS you have to change the picture to ventilation/ac control, or to media control, and then back. All the time you must pinpoint a dot on the screen to choose the right point and function. Not very easy when the car is bumping and moving just a little bit. Then we had to change car because of oilservice. We got a 2023 BMW X2 2.8 ltr. Alittle bit shorter and narrover than the X1, but ok. It drives as good as the X1, and what a relief, it has a much better and more traditional layout on the dash. Ordinary speedo and rpm instruments, and the GPS, ac controls and media controls are separat. We are still driving this car and will be happy with it for about another 3.500 miles. 15:45
