We took the car on a road trip last weekend to South Bend, Indiana. The car ran very well and the fuel consumption was about 24 miles per gallon on the way out and about 26 miles per gallon on the way back. It cruised at or near the speed limit without any problems. It handled well at high speed and I felt very safe the entire trip.
I have been a Mercedes driver for 20 years, both sedans and the ML. I was seriously looking for another Benz but found them a bit more money than I wanted to spend and the mpg was a bit poor. I tried the Acura MDX and RDX, the MBZ ML350. I found they either had only fair gas mileage or unacceptable ride/noise. I drove the X3 and found it to be a real nice ride, the mpg is about 15% better than the others, and the performance is impressive. This small SUV is more like a high end sports car with AWD. Love it.
I love a good heavy automobile and the safety I feel driving it.
