The X5 is a good-looking car, and had all the features we needed. It felt safe and solid, and the I6 engine was strong enough and got somewhat better mileage. I think the usual fillup was 21mpg. I really like the tailgate, gives you a place to sit if you want. The hill descent button, used something like three times on the worst luge days, was somewhat amazing. The car was highly satisfactory, _as a car_, but its appetite for money was untenable.
This was the "fine, you don't like what I provide? Then YOU go pick out a car, and take care of it yourself" vehicle. We bought it used, not new. But we're sick of its crap, and we don't need it anymore.
