    Nice review. I just picked up an X3M, base model with similar options. I agree with some points, disagree with others. One the shift paddles are metal with a rubber backing for better feel. Plus my hands must be larger as I have no problem reaching them. I agree P for park should be on top the shifter. Oh and the car isn't just for soccer moms. Its for anyone that needs utility but wants something more than the M40i without going all the way and cost of the Comp. And I like the sporty conservative look.

    The X3M is a fantastic all-around enthusiast's family vehicle. Honestly, the X3 M40i is already more than enough unless you don't care about points on your license. 👍
    I like the dual host format - similar to Everyday Driver. One critique I will offer is I think the score for handling/ride was unfairly low because it's not the vehicle's fault if the owner doesn't use it as intended. ✌🏼️

    @francoisboisvert1591 Před 4 lety

    Late to the game this week but it was worth it. Great in depth review and I do believe that having the two of you doing the scoring is a great way to show impartiality. One note, there was too much comparison from Sean with his Jaguar. Not that it's a bad thing but because it's a similar vehicle to what he's driving but the downside of it is that this X3 gets compared to a daily driver while other cars you have driven get compared to the others. While you always had a comparative to your C7 with the other sports car you drove, and you mentioned it while testing the cars, you also compared each one to the other cars you tried which blends in a bit more. Not sure I'm making sense in the way I explain it, please reach out to me and I can try to make it even muddier 🤣 and it's nothing to take away from the high quality of the video either but since this is a new format, I figured I'd mention it. Can't wait for the acceleration test!

    • @SpeedLabsMotorEnvy
      @SpeedLabsMotorEnvy  Před 4 lety

      No worries Francois, always appreciate the comments even if they are a few days behind. I agree and I think it makes the scoring a little more dynamic because I come from a track/racing perspective whereas Sean comes more from a street/real world driving perspective. Having both gives it a good mixture. Good suggestion on the comparison aspect, and it makes complete sense. I’ll keep that in mind when we do future in depth reviews. What social media platform do you generally prefer?

    Paddles on the wheel and not the column receive zero points and there should be no discussion about that point. The best paddles in the "cheapest" car award goes to the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport. On the column, made of metal and feel like they belong in the GT-R. You should revisit that score as those paddles really are pretty awful when compared to many others at a much lower cost.
    Overall a great review.

    • @SpeedLabsMotorEnvy
      @SpeedLabsMotorEnvy  Před 4 lety

      Thanks for the comment. I heard the Q50RS paddles are different but in Q60 Red Sport that I drove, the paddles were just little black plastic tabs, much like something you would find in a VW Jetta. Keep in mind that the score is relative to it's class, so far the best paddles in this class (that I've driven) are in the Stelvio QV with Sean's SVR coming in second.

    Notnmpressed with this at all. Why would you test the base and not the Comp. Plus the car is epic. I’ve had M5’s, Macan Turbo, X5M and also an RS6. This is my favourite car as it does everything brilliantly. In the UK we get 510bhp for the Comp and I had mine dyno’d at 536bhp. I tested a RR Sport SVR and hated it. Also, when I had my run in service done the engine was much more responsive. Here your car doesn’t have enough mileage for the run in service. Anyway, I believe you’ve sold this car short for what it is.
