That's good stuff!

One car I wasn't able to compare was the Q5. I went to the dealership and they didn't have one and the sales guy was weak. So, I'm happy to see you compared them pretty well and decided on the X3.

I like the bigger tires on the Q5 and it has a nice rear half. But the grill isn't my fav. Since I couldn't drive one, glad to hear about the handling.

I drove the GLK and, yeah, it's boxy, underpowered, horrible gas mileage, no heated steering wheel option, smaller, and the nav doesn't compare. Nice 20" wheel option and USAA pricing on Benzs' is very good.

I wrote off a bunch just on looks (XC60-90, SRX)... I liked the Touareg TDI, it was peppy and had great mileage for a slightly larger class, but in the end, I felt VW was overpriced for what you got.
