How would you rank the X5 to the MDX, as far as reliability. Rather have the X5 over the MDX, just a bit concern about having to spend more money in the longterm on repairs.

Anyway, really like to know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance,

it's an inline-6 engine, not a V6... and as far as reliability, if that is your highest concern, you're better off with an MDX or Lexus SUV... If you're going by consumer reports... the MDX will blow away the X5 in reliability in nearly every category...
