BMW X6 (Parallel Imported)

Surprisingly comfy over long distances, and every engine makes for relaxed cruising. The ride isn't too hard even given the usual optional 20s running 335mm rubber, which is supercar wide. Space inside is also fine up front and for the two people in the rear, though headroom is marginally less accommodating than the X5 thanks to the sloping rear end. As per the new X5, so a very solid performance from the BMW stable. Solid materials usage, good detailing, panel gaps that fit. This is a nicely finished car, even if it is built in America. Vision is limited thanks to that shape - the rear 'screen is a slot. There are only four seats and the boot is smaller than an X5's - but not by as much as you might imagine. The rear hatch lip is also very high - you'll be struggling to get things out of the back if you're short - though there is a very handy under-floor storage bin for hiding stuff. Its better to get a Range Rover and its better in all ways.
