  Dream car. - 2001 BMW X5
  By thevman - December 28 - 2:00 am

  I have enjoyed this car from day one, and over a year later, still love it. I initially test drove the Acura MDX (several times), and even had a deposit on one. I drove the X5 once, and immediately canceled my MDX order. It handles like a dream, has enough pep off the line, and the major components are of quality build. People always comment on the heaviness of the doors upon first entering, and there is an overall "sturdy" feel.

  X5=Fun to drive - 2001 BMW X5
  By PMM - October 21 - 2:00 am

  Purchased a fully loaded X5 3.0 September 2002 and could not be happier. This vehicle is well crafted and very powerful. Test drove the MDX and was not impressed with handling and design compared to the X5. Highway and local driving is an absolute pleasure. Interior design is carefully thought out and comfortable. This is a great SAV!

  Great SAV. Handles like a sports cars. Great response with no tip over fear. Front seats are very confortable but back seats should be improved.

  By Harley GT - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Great transportation. An SUV that handles like a sports car. Have 3.0 engine with 5 speed manual...performance and 21 MPG is outstanding. Sure footed in the rain and snow. Brakes are superior. Ive owned 20 + or - different vehicles an dthis is hands down the best, and it only gets better as the miles rack up.

  My X5 4.4i - 2001 BMW X5
  By Volks - July 7 - 2:00 am

  As expected, the handling and road manners are superb. My other car is a 911 and I am still impressed. Quality of interior is very high, and my entire family loves this vehicle, from the comfort standpoint. The ride with the sports suspension is firm, but this is again what one would expect. It rewards the driver with excellent road manners and confident road feedback.
