I like hatchbacks. I've had a few GTIs and a Mazdaspeed3. The 1-series hatch doesn't appeal to me at all. I think it's butt ugly.

Welcome! I also went from a Titan (06) to the X5. The X5 handles better (although the Titan wasn't a slouch) and I also prefer the X5 for towing. I pull just 5700 pounds, so the smaller vehicle is...
