BMW X3

What's this: a decent-handling mid-range SUV? Before BMW set about making SUVs the idea would have been borderline laughable - but the BMW X3 has handling appeal down, and then some.The X3's got both petrol and powertrains with top-drawer driver appeal, even if it is slightly unrefined when being pushed. But in all other areas, the X3 is a winner, and a close-run second to the Audi Q5. Standard equipment is a touch under-provided on some trim levels, but the car's perceived quality is above almost all others, while its on-road manners are hard to fault, even on run-flat tyres.
