I agree the X1 is a good car, and if it wasnt for Brexit we would have run the full 5 year, My main gripes with the X1 is the silly seatbelt situation. The road noise can be intrusive and the suspension is a bit harsh. Seats are all a personal choice. However the possibility of increased APR and or reduced (or no) choice after 31st December made us order. The petrol /diesel debate is interesting, before I retired I was regularly putting in 3ok+miles per year so diesel was a no brainer, I carried that thinking forward until this time when I calculated the difference in fuel costs over the three year period would be £786
So by going for petrol I can get a better spec car for not much difference in price, for some ranges it would even be cheaper overall to go petrol.
Plus we had an EGR valve failure which happened suddenly as we were in the middle of an overtake which was “interesting” strangely it happened after a 300 mile motorway run. I think Diesel engines are over restricted now a friend of mine who runs a garage can tell some horror stories about diesel engine problems (particularly I am sorry to say VAG group)
