X-5 3.0
| | Model of the car: | X-5 3.0 | | | General comments: | I really wanted a sporty, refined, upscale yet compact SUV, and read every review posted on the X-5 over the last year. I have to say, that I almost did not buy it because of the poor reviews noted here, and on consumer reports. But, based on my personal discussions with actual owners of BMW's (which were phenominal) I jumped in anyway.
Wow, am I happy! I took the car expecting it to have crooked bumpers, bucking bronco seats, no radio reception, dead batteries, stalling, vibrating, and doors locking such that I would have to crawl out the back. What I did get was an absolutely perfect running, astoundingly sophisticated, driving machine. Everythings works, and works better than any car I have ever had. It is fast, agile, comfortable, luxurious, smart, and way better than the other cars I drove like volvo, Toureg, pilot, MDX and RX330. Plus a 6 footer fits in it. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | My friends are all mad at me for upping the ante. My co-workers think I drive a $60k car. Break dust is very bad, so get easy rims to wipe off. Doors are heavy and back seats are not todler frienly. This is more of an indulgence than a family SUV, but if you want to feel like a success among your business associates and peers, this car has winner written all over it. For the same price as a volvo tank, a couple bucks more than a lexus ovum, or a borarific hondamatic, GO FOR IT! | | | Previous car: | Honda Pilot |
