I really enjoyed the X3. The redesign that they did added a lot of space in the interior while still feeling like a more compact SUV. It drives very well and is fun to drive but also rides very smoothly. Having the technology package really added to the luxury feel on the interior. The only drawback of the car is that there were some electronic issues that took a few visits to work out. The car had plenty of power for its size and still felt like it could easily overtake traffic on the interstate. The transmission was wonderful as well. Having 8 gears made the car change gears more often, but very smoothly so the ride was incredibly smooth
