BMW X1 has adequate performance for a daily driver with comfort. Pro reviews typically have X1 as top performer in it's category. One critical criterion is the car fits into my 1 car garage side. The SUV makes it convenient for trips to the store. I would recommend car to anyone.

Pros

Ride and Handling: Great handling and good ride quality
Power: More than adequate acceleration to pass or enter highways
Braking: Very good braking

Cons

Value: X1 seems to be a more than adequate quality but you pay for the BMW badge.
Seat Comfort: Seats are ok but little firm.
Styling: It is your basic SUV style.

We bought it for our daughter. It has been a wonderful car for her to drive around to and from school and just around town. It drives great and gets great gas mileage. She loves it!

Pros

Technology and Entertainment: love how it displays the speed limit and your speed in the window so you can see safely and not have to look down.
Seat Comfort: roomy and comfortable
Ride and Handling: easy and comfortable

Cons

Braking: very sensitive

I bought this car in January 2021, drove half way across the country a month after purchasing, which consisted of unexpected heavy snow and ice two days into our trip. Bad driving conditions. This car did amazingly well. AWD was reliable, tight handling & breaking. Great on gas. Comfortable for long adventures. This car was pushed to it's limits. Overall it is great for everyday driving and distance.

Pros

Cargo Space: Cargo space is biggest of its kind. Has extra space where spare would be. Can fit a large stroller without putting seats down & still have extra room.
Weather Versatility: Great in heavy snow and rain. AWD is a plus to keep this car going though anything on and off road.
Ride and Handling: tighten handling and brakes. More of a sporty feeling. Quick acceleration for highway. Good traction in rain/ice.

Cons

Technology and Entertainment: The display screen is small and out of date. Backup camera is too small. Not touch screen. Bad display layout.
Interior Space: Seats are comfortable & adjustable with plenty of head space front/back but may feel cramped in leg room with 4 tall adults. Cup holders aren't in the best locations in center console due to knob for screen display.
Dashboard: It's not digital. Small backup screen and not a good display screen design. Very basic looking instrument panel not what expected out of a BMW.
