Me and my wife tested all 3, the X3, Q5, and GLK.
first one that was eliminated was the GLK
Felt cheap, tight in the front, and it seemed like an older model regarding the technology on offer.
Q5s interior was nicer than the x3, engine and handling sucked
X3 was the most rounded
Nicest engine (35i), best handling, nicest technology.
Only thing I hate about it is the electric power steering
The way it changes the assistance in mid corner, totally ruins the driving feel
Now I don't take corners fast anymore
But the engine rocks, damn fast for it's size/weight
And we got ours after less than a month
Q5 we'd have to wait at least 3 months
But anyone that tells you electric power steering is the same as hydraulic is lying to you. It uses less energy from the engine, but that's it's only benefit.
Hydraulic runs rings around it
