Felt more like a grippy hot hatch when being hustled through windy back roads. As a former F80 M3 and now current Alfa Quadrifoglio owner, I will say it is much better driving than you’d think. Drive one before out right trashing it.
Some X2 reviews I have seen in YouTube seem to agree with you regarding the solid handling.

My main 2 caveats with the X2 are overall rear visibility and price premium over the similar and roomier X1.
