Love the couple aspect of the roadtrip! Makes it relatable on another level, hope to see more like it!

I don't trust anyone that doesn't use hand sanitizer after pumping fuel

[jamviator]

Not gonna lie, I absolutely love the new BMW interiors.

[lttsr]

You guys seem so perfectly matched. Wishing y'all luck

The infamous Emily has made an appearance!!! Hope y'all enjoyed lolla, such a fun festival

[doyoulikecrystalgel]

I hope we get more of both of yall doing road trips together. You and your gf have an endearing relationship, and the bit of traveling with your significant other on long journeys shows us what it'd be like doing these trips with our own gf's/bf's.

Emily is definitely your better half. She's a keeper.

Oh... and... nice car too.

Adaptive cruise control is an optional package on a BMW in 2023. This really drives me crazy dude.

It’s not dual clutch that makes pull away tricky it’s stop start activation. Try switching it off.

I'm finding the X1 very difficult to overlook. I need to find one on the lot to look for myself, but on paper the interior passenger and cargo space both look to be on par with the Toyota Venza yet with smaller exterior dimensions. It even competes on fuel efficiency without being a hybrid and is similar in price to the Limited Venza but likely a whole lot more fun to drive and the interior to me personally looks much better.

Just got our X1 M Sport Package a month ago and I could say the looks itself is way more better than the Xline package. Suspension is also a big difference which makes our road trips really comfy.

This was so relatable!! Very well done review!

There’s a quicker way to get back to navigation. Instead of hitting the home button and Apple car play just hit that back arrow on the upper left and you go directly to navigation.

In Germany, we also have that trucks overtake each other by hours. We call it "elephant race". 😁 Great review of the car, was fun to look at, thanks for that!

[silviutudorescu]

the M package is a must to have, just for the active M suspension and it looks way better then this one with the X line package

[Ian-mvqq]

Thanks for the super practical real life review!
So, my 2 questions:
1. How bad is the dual clutch in stop and go traffic? Is it just not smooth or unbearably uncomfortable that you wish you had picked another car?
2. I don't recall you two commenting about the seats/ride quality? How comfortable are the seats for long distance vs bumpy city roads?

[Vilmir]

Thanks, I did not realize how snug the trunk actually is, way too small for my family. It would require a roof trunk, which is inconvenient to store and blocks sunlight.

We just came back from Chicago going back to Sterling Heights as well. Small world… averaged 31ish mpg in the 23’ sorento hybrid. Allegedly going 79 mph as well. It did great, such a Great short road trip test for sure.

10:17 OMG!!! I live in Battle Creek and I go to that Chick-fil-A literally almost every day!!!

[tesonixs]

The default steering wheel looks way better then the previous one
