What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car? Everyone loves it. Would you buy this car again and why? I wouldn't buy another X3.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car? I wanted a larger car to carry around all the new family paraphernalia following the birth of our first child. What was the dealer like? I didn't visit the dealer. All contact was via the phone and email. I had a weekend test drive. There was no follow up even to ask if I liked the car. Driving it 4 out of 5 What's it like to drive? It's a comfortable cruiser. Enjoyable on country lanes, too. The clutch position is high, which can make it a little uncomfortable in traffic. I should have chosen one with the auto gearbox! What's it like to park? No problems parking with the front and rear sensors. My test drive car also had a rear parking camera which was great, however I judged it to be an unnecessary extra as the standard front and rear sensors are fine. Living with it 4 out of 5 Have you had any problems with the car? A number of warning lights keep coming on. It has been back to a dealer several times and no cause has yet been identified. What's most practical about your car? The front and rear parking sensors. Favourite gadget, option or accessory? The built-in sat nav.
