If, after doing that, you feel like nothing other than the BMW will speak to your soul, you can buy it without second-guessing.

I just don't find that a feature-to-feature on-paper comparison works in that situation. Both are really good cars with differing appeal.

After I totalled my wife's 2010 Subby Forester last spring, we test drove the Rav4, new Subby Forester, MB GLK 350 and X1 as potential replacments.
Nothing came close to the handling and performance of the X1.
She loves her X1.
Only problem is - I'll never get her back into the cheaper cute-utes again.
