After car shopping for an absurd amount of time we finally purchased the BMW. The Acura drives like a SUV, the BMW drives just like a car. Also, the RDX interior had rather flimsy fake wood plastic pieces. We felt the RDX was the family truckster and the BMW is the rally fun pack. And if you get the reference you're as old as me.
Cool car/SUV. The base price as of now in the states, however, is in the low the 30's. The lowest model is not a xdrive, it's a 2 wheel drive. I don't know if Canada has this but here in the states they are releasing this car with a M sports package option. This option makes the interior look flawless and also includes a exterior trim upgrades. I like this vehicle in xDrive, it's good for all sorts of terrain.
Good review, but it would have been nice to hear about the comfort level of the two men in the back. It looked like their knees were pretty tight against the seat in front of them. Any owners that can comment on Full size (6ft male) adult back seat comfort?
ive been serious looking at purchasing this vehicle and the main thing that draws me in is that you can get a fairly loaded x1 with the 3.0 turbo engine (0-60 in 5.1 secs) for around the same price as a BASE 328i xdrive sport line. ill have to see the interior/exterior in person but its very appealing to get that engine for around 40K US with loads of std features (xenons, power seats, moonroof, etc)
VW has more problems in their power-train than BMW, not to mention VW is known to have a lot of electrical issues with their wiring. VW is priced a lot cheaper than BMW but you get for what you pay for.
In Canada, where we are, base price is $36,999 plus a $2000 destination charge (...which is close enough to 40k to say 40k.) In the US, where you are, base price is $30,000. I mean come on! Rule number one for commenting is to see where the videos are being made lol. ;)
You guys made no mention of the regenerative brakes on this car? I thought that was a neat feature and it makes me wonder if you guys knew about this.... because this is somewhat comparable to a lexus RX450h. SUV hybrids are going to be big in the future.
The real question is...why do you guys allow this obvious price discrimination to go on?? Remember, you CAN specifically require pricing parity with the U.S. There IS international precedence in banning price gouging. You guys, being automotive journalists, should come together and form a movement to end the price gouging. I mean why does a Mustang GT cost $4K more in Niagara Falls than in Buffalo? "4 Guys In a Car" needs to combat this unfairness for all Canadians.
It is funny how Americans make cars review and don't even mention any numbers about the cars performance. Comparing Honda to BMW? ix35? No wonder Detroit bankrupted since you guys keep buying Asian stuff without any understanding what really matters in the car You laugh at VW and you go on and buy Honda? -___- Seriously?. TDI engines from VW deliver so much power with such a low fuel consumption. With my golf 4, 13 YEARS AGO and AC off, I had 2.9l /100km and 115 horse power. Now I have Audi A4.
Ok I'm sorry but these guys have no idea what they are talking about lol the base price for this car is 30,000 not 40,000 I mean come on you guys?!?!?! Rule number one for car reviews get the sticker price right lol so almost fully loaded this car would cost you about 40,000 wow can't believe they got that wrong

Is a 2012 X1 with 150k on it worth it for 8k today in 2024?

40k include tax? Or just base price

North Americans could indeed have a restricted choice of good cars
It's infiniti
Totally did not realized that part of the video .... Lol my bad you guys !! Should have been aware of the part lol :p

Late to the game here but Canada is socialistic.
Yeah, totally absurd. Until you wonder what the purpose of adding electronic nannies onto the car where they're not needed is.
The rating should be 15/20, not 17/20

Probably CAD
I'm no math genius but 20-5 is 15 not 17/20
These guys lost me within the first 15 seconds. Driving with your door open doesn't work. Wow, how absurd! Idiots.
4 GAYS in a Car ? ?
worst review possible?
LOL You don't even know how to spell the brand's name.
Boring old men's review
