X1 was what I originally wanted to go with. I was just worried about the long term durability and reliability of the N20.
Supposedly the 2.5L fixes the horribly slow issue with the CX-5. But one of the guys that I work with has a crv with 230k miles on it still going strong. I see the CX-5 being able to do this but I question whether the x1 can also. Being the i'll be doing about 25k miles a year, I would prefer to not depreciate the car compeltely in 4 years and then have to buy something new. It would be nice to hold onto this as a commuter and then evantually a beater for at least 10 years.
Otherwise, hands down I would go with an x1 28i xdrive (xline).
