Argh...it's so hard to make a decision with so many conflicting opinions!
Seems like people here either got a good one or a bad one. The good ones had little to no problems, where the bad ones were nightmares.

The handling, looks, and styling are what give me the "gotta have it" syndrome. But, it's looking like it's not even worth it now. Damn it!

My Vette is not a daily driver, btw. Way too much work done to it. The X5 would be replacing my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer 2WD, which (knock on wood) after 135K miles so far has had NO issues. Not one.

I really need to think about replacing the Trailblazer soon. I REALLY don't want to buy Japanese but if they're sooo much more reliable, I might be forced to.
