 Just had it for about 3 weeks now, and it's so sweet to drive!   The exterior styling is gorgeous & although it is a big car, it doesn't look like it.  Gas mileage is averaging about 15MPG, but hey, I guess I knew what I was getting into from the getgo. The V8 engine is very quiet, and it seems to be more than adequate to be able to handle the 7000lb weight without any problem.  Compared to the X5 I used to drive, it's a little mushy in handling, but it still a joy.  The 3rd row seat is great for my kids (the real reason for my purchase). The seats are comfortable all around, and there's plenty of interior space.
