Interesting read
Unfortunately I can't find it online at the moment only in the print magazine which I had delivered today
So in short
1st disco sport ... They said hard ride .. Thirsty but you will get out of it and look back longingly
2nd x3 ... Impressive piece of machinery frugal, great engine and gearbox (20d) comfortable and relaxed drive ... But isn't as exciting,interesting or as desirable as the disco .. So hence second place ! Pah
3rd Volvo .. Not without its charms but behind the best
4th Santa fe .. Lacking desirability and luxury but still commendable
But although they put the disco on top .. They said don't buy one because the new generation engines are coming
So very subjective review

Yeap. I lived in UK a couple of years. On all reviews a British made in number one, but if you dig deep there are NOT British owned companies, just British made, which is just a pity for a nation who invented the car. Of course the Land Rover is a marvelous piece of technique, but if you look at maintenance cost and history you must lease one, not own one.
Actually they are right, the automatic X3 in not exciting unless you hit hard acceleration. But try a manual and you could change this. I had the same feeling when I drove one, after my 320 Ci manual, but we get older...
