I really liked the 2013-2015 X1. We almost bought one for my wife a couple months ago but took the more practical choice in the Honda CR-V.

We sat in a 2016 X1 at the auto show last year. She thought that was perfect, but it was out of our budget. The 2016+ models do get you much more space than the 2013-2015 models due to the switch from RWD- to FWD-based architecture.
