I'm totally not into it but it looks nice and I'm sure will sell to lots of 30 something upper middle class women.
|
if they weren't so over priced I would be considering it....we are looking at $40-55,000 CUV's and there are just better choices out there than BMW
|
Looks nice but overpriced on the ride and overpriced on the maintenance. It makes me mad how they are taking the at home handyman out of things today.
|
so far we are leaning towards the Q5
|
You're in a hyundai think tank and are going to buy a Japanese product?
I don;t see the point in a small premium suv, I get the premium compact concept but small premium suv eh,...... again I get small suv's but the combo is a bit odd. I guess 40-55k would just go in an entirely different direction for me. |
yes I am being a former Sonata owner...and the Q5 is not small it about the same size as my Murano...
wait until you have kids you may change your position |
Why not just get a full frame SUV like a Tahoe for the money if it is for DD use? A friend of mine drives an X3 daily to school and work and while it is a great little CUV it still half asses everything it does. Off road performance is meh and on street performance will always be weak because of the fact it is a CUV and not a car.

love it compared to the old x3 but i do love me the x6m :drool:

This isnt the 80s and 90s, GM is making some very good vehicles as of late. And BMWs are over priced, you can get more car for the money going with a Japanese or even American counterpart.
