  • The BMW X1 is brilliant in many ways, especially not that you can have it with a 166mpg plug-in hybrid. This is, it's all a little...cold. Mark shivers his way through our review from snowy Newcastle.

    You are clearly by far the most entertaining and articulate of the motoring journalists doing these short CZcams tests. Well done! I’m sure you’ve brought a lot of viewers to Vanarama in spite of the other reviews on that channel...

    I'm actually surprised that the British government hasn't closed the PHEV loophole yet. Self-charging hybrids are a lot less offensive in terms of lab test consumption against real world, but then some people might actually use a PHEV properly so it'd be unfair to penalise them. Still, it hasn't stopped the government before.
    I think there's still something to be said for a decent modern diesel, and it's good that BMW offer them here, certainly if you're lugging around people or property.

    BMW seats are historically uncomfortable to some. My mother claimed "this 5er (520i four-banger of 1975 ...) is so hard for me to sit in" in the seventies and I think this has not improved ever since.

    If you want to feel perched above everything in the cabin, get a Tiguan. It's like you're sat on a box in the car ready to talk to your minions. You'll get out the car, look around, and wonder why it looks great on the outside, but completely stupid on the inside. You want want to drive fast round corners incase your upper body topples the centre of gravity.
