As soon as I saw the 214s in the pic, I knew it was in trouble as far as that goes. But hey I guess they wanted it to be "handsome". I know the mag mentions it showed up in summer tires, but did it actually deduct points because of that performance? Anyway, I guess I'm going to forward this to a friend who decided the Q7 was for him since he hated the X5's brakes. He'll be happy I guess.

BTW, yes the steering is pretty heavy imo. I like the feel some of the time, but not all the time.
