It keep comparing the X3 saying it's better and only small in price different.
"And for the price of about a dozen venti Lattes at Starbucks each month - and $1050 -you could have an X3."
Really?? This is a review? Sound more like a car salesman pitch! Yea for another extra dozen lattes and another $1050 I can have a X5 too! It is $6000 different and it may not be a lot for the writer but it is some money for most. And what about the cost of fuel (he mention 24/34 for the X1, 19/25 for X3)? How many lattes are there?
"But it’s not as substantial feeling as the X3" ... of course! You are in a heavier car! What if I want something sporty feeling?
I like X5 too and it is a nice car but as a professional car reviewer you can't compare a car with something that's totally in different class! This is so amateur!
