Review 2010 BMW X1

By Budi Mulyadi

Consider the story below, may be added, even the knowledge of you or entertain you how you menykapinya, not mistake the meaning OK, please.Many people love the hot-hatch. They are agile, spirited and fun, created for the fans who so desperately need for the occasional adrenaline surge. DNA-Behind every hot hatch is basically remained the same since the genre began with the original Golf GTI, with the wheels tucked in every corner, willing engine, sharp handling, and lots of street cred.

Yes, but bear with us for a while. For all intents and purposes, X1 is BMW's hot-hatch 3.0i is in disguise, but one that can swallow a whole not only the B-road, but also your kitchen sink! What we have here is a SUV (or SAV - Sports Activity Vehicle BMW likes to call it) that drives and handles like a very good hot hatch. Or if you prefer, hot-hatch that can bring what you expect the SUV to. Confused? You have to, but Jenkyl and Hyde character of the best up theX1.

Throw into a series of corners and hug the desired path with perseverance and calm just smart SUV BMW xDrive is able, while the AWD system that allows unlimited, fully variable torque distribution between front and rear axles which significantly reduces more than - and understeer. This agility combined with suspension 'sporty' is set back a lot of drivers happy promise.

But that's only half the story. With the 3.0 inline-six makes 231 horses and 300Nm of torque, the X1 has enough muscle and flexibility to fully utilize the talent of care. Adding excitement is a six-speed automatic 'manual-only' even the fans will support. It is responsive, quick to react to inputs from the right foot, and quite clever in selecting a lower gear when going down, offer engine braking before you can even do it manually dropped STEPTRONIC gear or two. Deceleration level is also assisted by a set of anchors that progressive in feel and at all easy to modulate, handy when stopping vehicles weighing more than 1800kg.

However, communication steering untypical of Beemers - more front-wheel drive in feeling - which may be due to the power that is channeled through the second axle. This is light at low speeds but accurate weight as increased speed. What is lacking is feedback relating to the BMW's rear wheel driven. This is not without any communication, only less so.

But this is also where the parallels between the hot hatch and X1-ended. Instead usually greeted by a cozy interior of a BMW sedan, the cabin of the X1 is a pleasant place with enough room for the occupants. But that is not straight-As a unanimous all, over-firm front seats (with electric adjustment) only so-so with comfort, you get the feeling of sitting on them instead of spoiled, despite a comfortable driving position is not a problem with multi-adjustable seat and wheels steering. And of course the panoramic glass roof that extends almost the entire length of the roof, of course, is bright enough already roomy cabin.

Other nice touches include clever folding cup holder is located directly below the passenger seat air-con vents and a complete first aid kit under the front passenger seat. Integrated stereo system is as Teutonic as they come, with simple controls and six-disc CD changer built into the armrests. Adaptive bi-xenon lights are also standard, and it followed the direction of the steering wheel to illuminate the intended path for better safety.

A little hot-hatch capable of carrying more than two days worth of luggage. Even the store full-size golf bags can be a difficult proposition. This is where X1 superior. A spree to purchase furniture will not be a problem unless you intend to self-transport bed. Up to 1560 liters of luggage space available, the top five clay-pot plus luggage comfortably located in the back of the X1 on a new cruise to Ipoh.

For me, X1 is the 'end' hot-hatch. This cozy will compete with the best of them and still be a great all-paced they never could. For fans who have to balance the rich taste and fun to drive out the entire family in a picnic, this is your name on it.
