![]() ![]() The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model. The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. But if you need lots more power then go for the 35i with the 6-cylinder, the fuel mileage is still pretty good.Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 7.4 I recommend the 28i 4-cylinder, it has good low speed response and the car had lighter sporty feel to it. I guess if you need a bigger trunk or worry about how it looks check out the X3. So if you dont need all the space in a big crossover this is perfect for you. The trunk space is much smaller than a X3, but with the hatch you can easily load and unload stuff. The headroom in back is fine for two average sized people. It gets a lot of attention, so just like everything thats hip today, I worry if it will be out of style and weird in a few years?Īt least it drove nice, better than most cars. So is it a car again? Bu with the trunk so small the view out back is also limited. Compared to the X3, they lowered it, added a sporty suspension and they made the cargo space smaller. Its based on a car thats made into a crossover. This vehicle (cant call it a car or truck) has a little of everything. Im looking at the X4 because I want a sports car but need four doors for my two kids that I pick up from school once every few weeks. Maybe similar to a VW golf or Civic Hatchback. I love sporty cars and tough trucks so I would say this X4 is more like a sporty slightly raised car or hatchback. So if you do not need a large trunk to carry a refrigerator, drive on a race track or through 3 feet of mud everyday, go test drive the X4! … Read More Sure the Macan S is faster and better on a track but I cant afford one of those. ![]() And the M sport package with 20 inch wheels just look awesome! Yes the trunk and rear seats are smaller than the X3, but I drive alone 99% of the time. It gets good fuel mileage (almost 30 highway mpg). Plus I could easily brake torque (where you hold the brakes and apply the gas so that when I release the brake the engine has build up some power and the car takes off quicker when you let up on the brake) it! The X4 has great stability in fast turns (49/51% weight balance). it felt light and there was no lag taking off. anyways after driving a few horrible (some had hidden body work, suspension damage, trunk full of dog hair, etc) certified and not certified crossovers. I just thought I was a car guy that had to drive something looks manly, you know something very high and tough or very low and fast looking (i use the word looking because I bet 99% of them just drive a manly car for looks)! LOL. I never thought in my life I would own a crossover, not that I don not like them. So now the compromise, a small crossover! My wife already drives a big crossover so we don not need another big vehicle. But then the gas price was going up and 14 mpg was not sounding to good. So I looked at Cayennes, Land Rover Sports, etc. Sure they have launch control, but knowing me, the tires would be gone by the time I made it to work! So I started thinking, maybe a small crossover or SUV would make more sense than a hot hatch. The combination of turbo lag and dual clutch lag (the time you hit the go pedal to the time it actually moves) was horrible (remember I am coming from a manual). They drove very nice once you are going very fast on the freeways, but around town or commuting in stop and go traffic which I will be doing 100% of the time, they were horrible. So originally I test drove a bunch of sporty cars like the Golf Rs and GLA45 AMGs. These days its really hard to find a drivers car. ![]() Its 15 years old and its time for a newer car. Im a old school BMW guy, current car is a manual e46 330 ZHP. ![]()
