Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheaper than the X5 but no bargain.
Costs
Servicing is a killer, brakes pads and disks within 18,000 miles (on two different cars) and they're used for the school run, £1,000 a time; madness.
-
On the road
Driving
Ride is very good on motorway, but awful over bumps. Also, lots of body roll.
Performance
Not very quick but when it builds up speed it feels fast.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from £1000 on brakes every 18 months and another £500 to service each year touch wood been reliable although drinks oil
