I owned a 2008 SRT8, it was fun to drive, a beast of the line, however after 2 years of ownership the Jeep just didn't feel as solid anymore. The build quality was no where as good as a german made vehicle.

Compared to the X1 i35 I have, the Jeep felt faster of the line, but the handling was not as good as the X1.

The stock SRT got 10-12 MPG, I'm getting 21-23 with agressive driving in the X1

I would consider the new Jeep SRT8, but not at the $65k price tag dealers are asking. I wouldn't but a preowned SRT based on my previous ownership.

Having had both I would go with the X1 unless you need more cargo space and are willing to sacrifice build quality.
