We were able to negotiate a lower price on an X3 28i vs the Evoque. The price, driving experience and warranty/maintenance made the X1 a no-brainer over the Evoque for us. The Evoque needs better acceleration and a lower price. The new ZF 9-speed tranny is a step in the right direction.

We will look at the X4, X5, and Porsche Macan in another year or so.
