Love the sportiness and performance

I think its a very solid car. Its exterior is beautiful and interior is pretty nice too. The highlight of this car is definitely its performance. The engine is always wanting you to give it more gas and once you do its such a thrill.

Good looking and fun to drive

In some ways it drives like a sports car. Full of luxury amenities. We love the leather and the panoramic sunroof.

Solid SUV, er, SAV! (Xdrive35d)

Great vehicle. Solid MPG for such a large vehicle since ours is diesel. Handles like a car much smaller, until you try to park in a tight space. Really fantastic exterior looks, decent interior, though lots of interior volume for hauling everything. Wonderful active (swivels into corners) xenon headlights, truly wonderful and effective. Very safe vehicle for occupants.

BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED

From appearance it is outstanding. Comfortable as you would expect from a BMW. Where she really excels is performance! You want this thing to merge with traffic and put your foot down, she will throw you back in the seat - surprisingly fast. Handling, cornering is amazing. Best of all, still gets 19.6 mpg as daily driver around town.

drives well but small

the third row in this is a JOKE - even the smallest children don't fit comfortably back there. Also rear facing car seats make for uncomfortable front row seating, since you have to pull it up so close to the dash to make it fit.
