That's ridiculous!
On another note, I drove a Santa Fe and it's nice (well equipped, almost-luxury feel) but it drives like a minivan through the corners and is a lot more thirsty (at least the 2.0T) than the X3.

The review starts " I'm confronted by an interior that looks and feels five years old. This predated feel is reinforced with every turn of the four cylinder diesels crankshaft too, it's coarse nature betraying the fact that it actually five years old"
He continues" the nine speed automatic gearbox coud be better as well from a standing start it'll hesitate to transmit drive making it difficult to execute a prompt getaway. Additional throttle application results in nothing more than an even more vigorous take off when it actually responds "
He then says the cabin is acceptable but with some easily marked plastics ... Foibles including a panoramic roof that doesn't extend far enough forward to benefit front seat occupants
But you will look back at it longingly .. ( while waiting for the breakdown truck)
