Certainly not top ten, in my opinion. My point was just that if it was my only choice...I still don't think the M1 is a good platform for the scenario the OP asked about.
"Sit down and shut up" is a bit much, I agree. I will make an analogy though: Some years back a guy I know finished up a project car that he and his son had restored, late 1960's Mustang I think. They both took time off work and made a cross-country road trip, coast to coast.
That old car drove like it did when it was new, and he said they had a great trip, but when they got home he said neither of them was interested in ever going on a long trip in an old car ever again. Compared to a modern car it was rough riding, noisy, no air-conditioning, none of the luxuries that even basic cars have now. It did fine, but there are better options nowadays. I think both of them would still take offense though, if anyone said that old car was a junky, rusty old hulk that was never really any good to start with. If they had no other wheels, that old Mustang would still get them wherever they need to go.
