Sporty Small Suv — Handling is very good, typical German engineering. Braking is nice too, I get 23mpg when driving in the city. Maintenance is minimal, 1st oil change at 10k, second recommended at 20k. Heated leather seat in the front are a good plus.

Fantastic looks, great acceleration, solid German feel and ride.

None really. I just decided I want a sedan after years of SUV's.

Awesome Compact Suv — This has to be one of the top compact SUV's made. Great ride, nice zip in the acceleration and very attractive design! Nice solid German manufacturing feel. Average 22 mpg to and from work which is 1/2 freeway and 1/2 surface streets.
