 Drives like a sports sedan but relatively roomy in terms of headroom and (to a lesser degree) elbow room.I'm a bigger guy (6'1" and about 240), and I bought this as a compromise between the 3 series, which I felt was a little more low-slung than I like, and the X3, which felt relatively boat-like.Bonus: not only do I prefer the X1 to those two vehicles, but it is about $10K cheaper when similarly equipped.
