This is the gold standard for which all car reviews should be measured. By far the best review I've ever seen.

This is probably the finest car review on the internet in my opinion. Intelligent thoughtful and from a genuinely knowledgeable source, where most youtube reviews feel as if the ill informed "reviewer" is merely summarising the manufacturers PR release. Thoroughly recomended.

Excellent review. Probably the best auto review I've seen on KZread. Well done.

You have a fantastic voice for reviews. Appreciated your commentary on this, I feel more comfortable about my possible purchase of this vehicle.

Same here..

Coolest name. Even back in 1998 when I first picked up a car magazine, I always enjoyed this man's reviews. Thanks for your incredible talent.

my x1 has been an absolutely perfect daily driver in snowy new england. the added clearance helped a ton this year w/ the feet and feet of snow, but it still drives and feels as good as my old 3 did, especially w/ the pneumatic steering. the n20 is a gem of an engine.

This guy knows how to make a car review, actual facts and figures. Why isn't he doing all C&D reviews and comparos???

Chris probably because he’s drowning in the poontang. This dude gets laid for sure on the daily

We recently bought a 2014 BMW X1 xdrive 28i loaner with 5K miles, fully loaded (ultimate + cold weather + lighting packages and Harmon Kardon sound + pedal shifters + BMW apps) for $33.5K what was $44.5 brand new - there, we saved $11K. I think X1 is the best compromise of power, gas mileage, space, speed and comforts, taken together. The drive is beautiful and smooth. We are extremely happy with the purchase. We test drove Q3, Q5, X3, Forester (cabin noise above 70mph), Outback, GLK 250, RDX, Lexus, Volvo V60, CX-5 (poor rear view angles and cabin noise). The closest match to X1 xdrive 28i is Audi Q3 (Prestige). Comparison between Audi Q3 (left) and BMW X1 xdrive 28i (right) as follows: (a) 200hp & 206lb.ft vs. 240hp & 260lb.ft; (b) 20/28 mpg vs. 23/33 mpg; (c) 6.6" vs. 7.0" ground clearance; (d) $43,000 vs. $41,000 (similar specs) (e) 1yr/5000mi vs. 4yr/50,000 miles coverage; (f) 0-60 in 8.2s vs. 6.2s; (g) Cargo space: 19.2cu.ft./ 48cu.ft (seats folded) vs. 26cu.ft/ 56cu.ft (seats folded). We were initially against the BMW brand, because we are Audi fans. But the X1 completely changed our notion after driving it. Yes, there could have been few better quality added here and there, but overall, this is a great car. Don't be fooled by its looks. I really loved the Q5 TDI but the price even for used cars are $50K for premium plus trim.

A quick question after 9 years😅, would you still buy this old gen car in this generation considering the built quality, service costs and the experience you had all these years. I guess you might have changed many cars now but still wanted to ask is this car good enough to be bought in this year as well?

the best car review video ever

Thank you, Mr. Csere. During the last months, I've been watching many, many car reviews. This review is, without a doubt, the best I've watched. Crystal clear. I think you have chosen the most interesting topics for a user and have explained them in a way that anyone can understand. Again, crystal clear and completely persuasive. Brilliant.

What a great review. This is the best car review I have seen in a while. All great info explained very well. Great job!

Because of this Review I am definitely buying this car . Best review I have ever watched on KZread.Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

@Soniah Muthoni, did you buy it and how's it? looking forward to buy one too. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

When you name it, Hoffmeister Kink, this means that this guys knows what he is talking about not just ordinary car review ;)

Now this is what you call a review! Details of the car which you don't usually expect to have on most other reviews. Job well done! Thank you for going that extra mile in bringing us viewers the extra details.

I bought my X1 35i after seeing your review. Best car ever! I love her so much! Thank you or your video!!

Dear CarAndDriver. Thank you for hiring Mr. Csere. I think that all sane persons know that a car purchase should not be based on a video. I also hope that most people watching this can accept that a car video can be entertaining without the host doing burn outs :) Thanks for making the car the center of attention instead of the host..although the host is pretty awesome.

I had an X3 for 3 years and loved it. I think I really want this X1 for our exclusively urban driving needs. A little smaller for easier parking in the crazy tight spaces so common here in L.A., but still handy for a trip to Home Depot or the grocery store. I was starting to drool over the latest VW GTI, but this has more HP and more cargo room for almost the exact same dough. WANT!

wow! what an amazing review.. I think it is one of the best I've ever watched

Great review - You know what you're talking about and I love your choice of words. Very well done. Subscribed and thanking for affirming my decision on buying the x1.

One of C/D's best reviewers. Bravo sir, bravo.

Your review is Good and Solid. Even after years this will help me to buy a used x28i xDrive. Thumps Up!

Haven't seen any of these good, in-depth pieces on somewhat affordable cars by Car and Driver lately. Would love to see more like this. Csaba Csere is great - has a very strong presence compared to many of the people who review cars online. Great video - thanks!

Love your reviews Csaba. Keep up the great work C&D!!!

This review has me sold, I am going to go look at one tomorrow.

Really great audio work, the editing certainly did not go unnoticed and I really appreciate the suppression of road noise whenever possible

Oh my... What a great review... I haven't seen such a detailed review for a while now. Bravo C&D. Let this man do as much as reviews if you can!

Watching this in September 2023 , I must say I've not seen such an awesome review ever. Sir you've done an awesome job

Love this guy. Such detail, and a really great voice to listen to, it makes me feel interested in whatever he is talking about, and very understandable. Tells me what I want to know. Keep up the fantastic work!

I'm loving your video reviews Csaba Csere, please keep them up. I think they may be the most well thought out and useful video car reviews online right now.

By far the best editor for a car review. Keep up the amazing work!

Honestly the best review i've ever seen. Csaba is definitely an amazing asset to Car and Driver.

A great review of the true capabilities of the understated and under-appreciated X1. It is a phenomenal little ride and a true drivers compact SUV

Amazing how detailed this review is, absolutely fantastic work!

Csaba, you're the most informative, yet engaging automotive journalist out there. Thank you.

I thought i new a little bit about this car until i listened to your review, brilliant.

Csaba your reviews are the best. Lots of information and good pacing.

This review made my decision making 40% easier i went in with a clear head and what to expect to buy my X28i :) Keep up the good work sir!!

Mr. Csere, you sir do the best & most detailed car reviews. Thank you.

This is an excellent review. Watching all the way from Kenya.

Chubba Cheddah and the C&D team behind these reviews are the best in the business. This video is a perfect example - from the story to the motion graphics - everything is first class. Informative, smart, and entertaining. Nice job, guys.

This guy always has good reviews. I don't watch the reviews because I'm interested in buying the car, but simply for entertainment because your reviews are so interesting and insightful. You do a good job, keep it up man! - Your long time subscriber Andriy

I actually got one of these as a rental last month. Was thoroughly impressed! I found it very difficult to not keep putting my foot down. Regarding size the back had plenty of room for my partner's luggage which was two large uprights and carry-on.

Wow what a fantastic video review! I really enjoyed Csaba Csere's presentation. Please have him do more reviews in the future. A new fan.

This is one of the best reviews... if not THE BEST car review I have ever seen. Thorough and unbiased.

This is the first review which really inspired me to buy this vehicle. The way he reviewed this vehicle really helped me a lot. Keep up the good work.

Excellent review and very informative.

Really nice detailed review. I wish they did more long videos like these.

This guy is great, very thorough!

Love this review. It covered everything I wanted to know about the car

The best, most thoughtful reviews on on KZread.

love your reviews: you are calm, collect, real, and get to the bottom of it. That's just what I look for.

amazing as always, thx Mr. Csaba Csere, very detailed and informative.

These reviews are the best you can find on KZread.

Very detailed review! All my questions answered were answered before they even popped up!!

Your fantastic review about the 2013 BMW X1 x28i make me feel I made the right decision to buy this vehicle. I love my bimmer. Thank you Csaba.

Love Chaba Chaba reviews! Very well done.

EXCELLENT review. This guy makes the perfect serious, objective reviews for every day drivers (read: most of us regular people)

Mr. Csere, you are the master. Have enjoyed reading you for many years. Loved this one especially.

Amazing review. Thanks guys.

Great review!

get one, you won't regret it, it's like the best do it all battle wagon for the money. I spent 2 years car shopping and couldn't find anything I liked until I discovered the X1... you get a little bit sporty, little bit truck/off road, little bit of practicality and little bit of luxury, all in one. A total no brainer. I'm BMW for life.

Very useful review. Love this man.

My parents recently just got this car to replace our old BMW and its beautiful. It runs so smoothly and its a pretty nice ride.

Very informative and thorough review. Good job.

Best car review ever! Csaba is great.

Superb auto review! Best I've viewed in ages.

Csaba is very knowledgeable about cars.. you can tell that it's not scripted. Excellent review.

excellent review! I've seen your name many times in C&D and wondered how you pronounced that. Thanks.

Loved the way Csaba reviews cars. I could sense experience all over his words. C&D doin it right...

2021 and i'm enjoying this review

I am loving these long, detailed, thoughtful reviews. Great commentary. Would like to see some out of the car shots as it bounces over real world bumps to show the suspension travel and rebound damping. Is this the first low level BMW offered without a manual gearbox to the USA ?

The best Review I have ever came across

he's a real good host! got the details without even having to watch it a second time

Bravo! Very good review with great detail!

Premium but small indeed! I own exactly this model . Absolutely enjoy driving it great on heavy snow. Mpg is awesome. Very safe car also

Wonderful review...thoroughly enjoyed it

Best car review I've ever seen.

All of his reviews are informative and easy to understand.

Incredible video. Very well made. Watched it twice.

The E84 is based on the E90 3 series, but the Lci models actually have F30 power trains, which makes them really compelling. so you get the best of both worlds, the better handling of the E90 with the tech of the F30

A review where all of your information is interesting... Thanks alot!

Finally an unbiased review, great work

You gave me the last push to get x1. Thank you for the detailed review.

Haven't seen such a great review for quite some time

This is one of the best reviews!. compared to car buyer auto xpress and many others i love this review! you guys rock!!!

Great insight, great voice, great video, thanks 👍

First American car reviewer I actually like! Well done, I KEEP UP WITH YOU

Great reviewer, great review.

Excellent review , thanks
