Hi Glos Guy…my missus is the same with the X1…she dislikes the twin kidney grilles of BMW’s…”like a pair of comedy eyes”. This sort of constructive criticism really helps one in the unnerving search for a vehicle.
That made me laugh, but I think I might be able to beat it! I said to my wife “I think that the X1 is the nicest looking of the cars on our shortlist, so can you tell me exactly what it is that you don’t like about it”? The reply, which I am not making up, was this “well I don’t like the side profile. The bonnet is too long and it doesn’t look like an SUV. In fact, it looks like a boot” (I.e. what you wear on your feet). At that point I gave up ?
