Well I'm looking for a car that's got good ground clearance and a good awd system. I want something that can load more stuff than my e90. I don't do any pulling trailers or anything, just possibly loading a few boxes once in a while. Although I like a high driving position, I don't want or need a huge suv with a massive v8. So I think a small suv would be perfect. I also don't need seating for 7.

You wouldn't consider a VW Tiguan?
I know the wife has considered one from time to time and on each occasion has been not only impressed by the ride quality on offer but also the economy. As a second car it's a great little number and has a more quality feel than most Japanese eqivalents. |

My father has a 1998 5MT and it's clocked over 300k with no sign of stopping.

For the OP: I'd also recommend a used MDX. If you have't driven one give it a try. It seems very large but it drives smaller and the actual physical measurements are reasonable. Its only an inch longer than a 5 series. |

Don't think the OP would enjoy the repair bill that comes with owning Porsche's.

Tiguan is good, i actually went to the local VW dealership and looked at it. Not bad but a bit smallish inside. Didnt feel as roomy as a X3 for some reason. However that is a definite option.
I'm not really a fan of the MDX, i drove a friends 1st gen MDX and was not impressed. Didnt feel powerful or planted... |

Yea i did, i mentioned before that my sister in law had one and when i was over in chicago over christmas holiday, all of our travels were in that. I liked the touareg very much but she had a V8 model and the gas mileage was pretty bad. If i were to buy, i would purchase a V6, but I have not had a chance to test drive a v6 yet.

The only question is whether they are any cheaper than the equivalent X5. |
