The other reasons (technology/quality of screen and dash, no paddles, transmission feel, wife didn't care for the looks although I think she's nuts) we maybe could have gotten over but for us, the X3 was clearly quicker and more fun to drive. Interesting how our opinions differ there, just goes to show each person feels what they feel.

I really liked the Volvo though, more than the Q5 which I agree lacks passion inside and out.
