When it was new, critics loved the 2010 BMW X3’s nimble handling, and called it one of the best 2010 compact SUVs for driving enthusiasts. However, they also said that its ride may be too sporty for some, with heavy steering and a suspension that can feel harsh over rough roads. The X3 is powered by a 260-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine that reviewers found plenty powerful. All-wheel drive is standard, and BMW also offers the only manual transmission in the class; an automatic is available as well. With either transmission, the X3 has fuel economy estimates of 17/24 mpg city/highway, which is typical for the class. With the rear seats folded, the X3 can carry up to 71 cubic feet of cargo, which is very good.

The car is very comfy and houses enough room for four people. It provides the luxurious feel with its gps system and leather seats. There is everything one could use and the mileage is pretty decent for the price of the car. It give me a sense of pride driving the car and it is very nice to handle. I feel I have done right with my life and the service I receive is great, It makes me feel that BMW care for their customers. The acceleration is smooth and the braking system is top notch. It is colored navy and has the iconic BMW front. The wheels are nice to look and I get looks for driving it. It is great that I can customize with custom seats and a custom driving wheel. The compartments are sized right and it is the right fit for someone who is quite short. I don't have to move the seat as much and it feels it was built for me to drive it. The car does not end up in the shop like many other cars so it has saved me money in the long term. There are no real noises or blind spots that I can think of. The trunk is able to hold as much luggage I can put in it and there is simply barely anything I can complain.
