Lala81 Hypersonic December 5, 2024 Share December 5, 2024 On 12/3/2024 at 9:25 PM, Mason016 said: How tall is the driver? I’m 1.87 and my driver seat is pushed back a fair bit. It can fit three adults in the rear comfortably but centre tunnel is quite high so it may be an issue. Easier to grab the three adults, head down to PML and try it yourself. Test drive opened up last Saturday. Wah you are 2 inches taller than me. So tall no need drive SUV lah. Sit low down reclined more comfortable. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon 2nd Gear December 7, 2024 Author Share December 7, 2024 (edited) went to test drive the xdrive20 xline today at Eurokars. though not punchy but not sluggish as well. the longish bonnet feels a little burden though, but i think can get used to it. i think the m sport ver with m sport suspension should feel more planted. wife enjoyed the rear leg room sitting right behind me (im at 178cm, she is same height and my sest always go slightly further behind) Edited December 7, 2024 by Defcon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you think that the decrease in power and more body roll will be worth it over the increase in space and comfort? Did you give the 5 series a consideration as well?

X1 will definitely be less refined overall, else the bigger siblings won’t stand a chance lol. It’s still selling like hotcakes nonetheless. True, the ingress and egress and putting the kid in is a big thing and accumulates over time. Yea, makes sense to drive more sensibly with young kids. There’ll always be more chance for more fun cars in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
