    This is the gold standard for which all car reviews should be measured. By far the best review I've ever seen.

  • @jamesydunlop
    @jamesydunlop 11 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    This is probably the finest car review on the internet in my opinion. Intelligent thoughtful and from a genuinely knowledgeable source, where most youtube reviews feel as if the ill informed "reviewer" is merely summarising the manufacturers PR release.
    Thoroughly recomended.

    @TheLowCodist 9 ปีที่แล้ว +64

    Excellent review. Probably the best auto review I've seen on TH-cam. Well done.

  • @heartpackedsuitcase7654

    You have a fantastic voice for reviews. Appreciated your commentary on this, I feel more comfortable about my possible purchase of this vehicle.

    Coolest name. Even back in 1998 when I first picked up a car magazine, I always enjoyed this man's reviews. Thanks for your incredible talent.

    my x1 has been an absolutely perfect daily driver in snowy new england. the added clearance helped a ton this year w/ the feet and feet of snow, but it still drives and feels as good as my old 3 did, especially w/ the pneumatic steering. the n20 is a gem of an engine.

    Thank you, Mr. Csere. During the last months, I've been watching many, many car reviews. This review is, without a doubt, the best I've watched. Crystal clear. I think you have chosen the most interesting topics for a user and have explained them in a way that anyone can understand. Again, crystal clear and completely persuasive. Brilliant.

    We recently bought a 2014 BMW X1 xdrive 28i loaner with 5K miles, fully loaded (ultimate + cold weather + lighting packages and Harmon Kardon sound + pedal shifters + BMW apps) for $33.5K what was $44.5 brand new - there, we saved $11K.
    I think X1 is the best compromise of power, gas mileage, space, speed and comforts, taken together. The drive is beautiful and smooth. We are extremely happy with the purchase. We test drove Q3, Q5, X3, Forester (cabin noise above 70mph), Outback, GLK 250, RDX, Lexus, Volvo V60, CX-5 (poor rear view angles and cabin noise). The closest match to X1 xdrive 28i is Audi Q3 (Prestige). Comparison between Audi Q3 (left) and BMW X1 xdrive 28i (right) as follows:
    (a) 200hp & 206lb.ft vs. 240hp & 260lb.ft; (b) 20/28 mpg vs. 23/33 mpg; (c) 6.6" vs. 7.0" ground clearance; (d) $43,000 vs. $41,000 (similar specs) (e) 1yr/5000mi vs. 4yr/50,000 miles coverage; (f) 0-60 in 8.2s vs. 6.2s; (g) Cargo space: 19.2cu.ft./ 48cu.ft (seats folded) vs. 26cu.ft/ 56cu.ft (seats folded).
    We were initially against the BMW brand, because we are Audi fans. But the X1 completely changed our notion after driving it. Yes, there could have been few better quality added here and there, but overall, this is a great car. Don't be fooled by its looks. I really loved the Q5 TDI but the price even for used cars are $50K for premium plus trim.

      A quick question after 9 years😅, would you still buy this old gen car in this generation considering the built quality, service costs and the experience you had all these years. I guess you might have changed many cars now but still wanted to ask is this car good enough to be bought in this year as well?

    @LordStaind 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Now this is what you call a review! Details of the car which you don't usually expect to have on most other reviews. Job well done! Thank you for going that extra mile in bringing us viewers the extra details.

  • @godfatherNYC
    @godfatherNYC 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I had an X3 for 3 years and loved it. I think I really want this X1 for our exclusively urban driving needs. A little smaller for easier parking in the crazy tight spaces so common here in L.A., but still handy for a trip to Home Depot or the grocery store. I was starting to drool over the latest VW GTI, but this has more HP and more cargo room for almost the exact same dough. WANT!

    I actually got one of these as a rental last month. Was thoroughly impressed! I found it very difficult to not keep putting my foot down. Regarding size the back had plenty of room for my partner's luggage which was two large uprights and carry-on.

      @Sardonic1981 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      get one, you won't regret it, it's like the best do it all battle wagon for the money. I spent 2 years car shopping and couldn't find anything I liked until I discovered the X1... you get a little bit sporty, little bit truck/off road, little bit of practicality and little bit of luxury, all in one. A total no brainer. I'm BMW for life.

    Dear CarAndDriver. Thank you for hiring Mr. Csere. I think that all sane persons know that a car purchase should not be based on a video. I also hope that most people watching this can accept that a car video can be entertaining without the host doing burn outs :) Thanks for making the car the center of attention instead of the host..although the host is pretty awesome.

    Would like to see some out of the car shots as it bounces over real world bumps to show the suspension travel and rebound damping.
    Is this the first low level BMW offered without a manual gearbox to the USA ?

    The E84 is based on the E90 3 series, but the Lci models actually have F30 power trains, which makes them really compelling. so you get the best of both worlds, the better handling of the E90 with the tech of the F30
