It only has 600 miles on it. I havent really got to try it out yet. It feels like it has a good sporty tight suspension to it though. I never drove my X hard either though. I didnt buy it to race, we just thought it was a nice car with a lot of power. I agree that the leather prob. wont last as long and blah blah blah, but its all in how you treat something. If this thing starts falling apart then it will be gone too. I have a 93 cobra, yes a ford, and the leather in it is still in great shape and its 15 years old. If my X5 didnt spend more time in the shop than it did at home I would still have it.
