I've got an X1 loaners today, and it's AWFUL.

The base seats are GARBAGE. The Hyundai Elantra absolutely has nicer seats, I know because my sister has one as a commuter car.

The steering feels like a very poorly done video game steering wheel controller. When the AC compressor kicks in there is a strong irritating vibration in the steering wheel.

The interior space is surprisingly decent for it's class size.
The suspension does an acceptable job at quelling daily driving bumps.

Stock audio system SUCKS.

Overall, this does not feel like a BMW in any way, shape, or form, other than it has the BMW logo on it.

There are a good number of lower cost cars/CUVs I would get over this thing. I can't believe how horrid the stock seats are.
I feel like I'm falling off of the seat forward while driving, and when braking it feels worse. Who the hell signed off on these crap seats!?
