Reviews SummaryCompact crossovers and SUVs are among the nation's hottest-selling vehicles, and that means plenty of choices. Audi's latest is the Q3, which slots below the compact Q5 and the three-row Q7. There's a substantial discount between the Q3 and Q5, too, which may entice Audi buyers looking to cut their car payments. | |
Reviews SummaryThe march of Xs rolls on and cannot stop, especially when it comes to the little BMW X1. Redesigned for 2016, the X1 arrives right as compact luxury SUV sales are surging. That might be good for BMW, but is this second-generation X1 worth your attention, now that it’s based on the company’s Mini platform? Of course it is—to a point. | |
