Mockngbrd Supersonic September 30, 2010 Author Share September 30, 2010 Nice! When I see Picture 3, like the car quite low...some carpark exits like jialat man.. not really, the ground clearance is actually quite high. Standard-fare for a soft-roader i guess. Looks low because the slope taken from is actually quite steep, climbing up with my slippers also difficult... kept slipping... hahaha nice is the interior roomy? how the fc Can't quote you on the FC, i didn't check. But it was decent. Interior's nice up front, for the back is just decent. I thought it was ok, maybe tight for 3 ppl, nice for 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic September 30, 2010 Share September 30, 2010 How's the ride comfort and rear view? The rear view seems very clutered thus creating a lot of blind spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic September 30, 2010 Share September 30, 2010 The X1 review in one_shift.com gave comments like "stiffly sprung suspension" and "relatively low ride height". Kinda unusually for crossover or SUV. Expecting softer suspension for comfortable ride since the power to weight figures(150hp, 200Nm, Kerb weight 1505kg) does not hint anything sporty. I dun think FC will fair very well either. The one in the review has grey interior while TS's is beige. The grey interior does look kinda plasticky with not so nice plastics on the centre console and dash, my opinion. Perhaps it's the camera they are using, very "un-vivid" colours. TS 's pics are way better. Gotto go see the real thing for myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not comparing the X1 with the Nissan's though, don't get me wrong)..... just giving an idea of what a crossover vehicle actually is..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not comparing the X1 with the Nissan's though, don't get me wrong)..... just giving an idea of what a crossover vehicle actually is..... To me it's no point a crossover or SUV having a stiff ride. Once the ride height is raised the character and handling of the car is dynamically changed, no matter how the manufacturer stiffen the suspension. And since like you said it's some lifestyle vehicle might as well make it comfortable with softer suspension. They already have the 1 series. They can make this one as stiff as they like. Although the X1 is using the same platform but it does not have to perform like the 1 series hatch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear September 30, 2010 Share September 30, 2010 but for a 'baby-BMW SUV-like vehicle', it's relatively huge, especially so, since it's based on the 3-series touring chassis right??? the next X3 has grown in size.....scary.... why is every car putting on weight arh???
