Drove a X2 loaner a few months back and it was a surprisingly pleasant car. Very decent handling and the visibility was not as bad as I thought it would be. Would not consider one for myself but I can see why someone would take the plunge for it or a X1 which should be roomier or at least more comfort oriented inside.
