BMW X5 4.4
| | Model of the car: | BMW X5 4.4 | | | General comments: | The X5 is with us now for 6 weeks and is the ideal addition to our M5. We like it even more now than after the test drive and could not have made a better choice. BMW certainly put the emphasis on sport rather than utility (in particular with the sports package), something we fully enjoy. For us the X5 is the ultimate SUV since we do not require lots of space, extreme off-road capabilities or high towing capacities. If you are in the market for a mid-size SUV whith car-like handling and sports-car-like performance, look no further. You will get the safest SUV currently available with the most fun to drive. The sticker price is on the high side, but you get what you pay for. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | You don' t get a great gas mileage (who expects that from a SUV anyway?) and it could do with a bit more luggage space (the 540 wagon has more).The basic price is above average and does not include rear passenger side airbags. | | | Previous car: | We drove ML430, Lexus 470, Navigator and Escalade, none of them even close to the X5. ML55 was not available for a test drive and also way north of the price for a X5. The otherwise nice MDX does not come with a V8 and also looks ugly. |
