When the weather is clear and above 60, there is no car I would rather drive than the X1. The weather turned nice this week and I cruised 200 miles in the X1 on Sun and 100 on Mon. Would have been doing it today, except for a trip out of town. You have to drive the X1 to know what the no top experience in a GT is like. It's not for everyone, but for some of us, nothing else compares. :cheers
