Obviously not speaking for the OP but I wish more brands offered a top-tier Macan-sized vehicle. Whether I'm in CA or CO, I live in the city and would like more options for a sub-compact high-quality SUV. Europe has us beat in that category. Even though the X3 is considered a "compact" vehicle, it's not to me. ... unless you compare it to an Escalade or Sequoia.

I guess I assumed people got smaller SUV like the Macan over a sedan for the same reasons I do. Which is primarily that they need a hatch and not a trunk.

Very close but, that 3" of height make it seem much smaller. It was one of my final 3 but I preferred the X3. I would have liked to have had the option of sampling the Audi rsQ3 but, in the end, I likely would have ended up with the X3 as it easily won out over the Jaguar, Mercedes and even the Macan.

We replaced my wife's x3 35i with a 2019 S. I wanted the new infotainment and some other upgrades over the 2018. Absolutely love it.
The x3 had a terrific motor, but I found the steering to be numb and lacking in feel. The Porsche steering is significantly better, close to a hydraulic steering rack. |

We just purchased a CPO 2019 to replace my wife's VW GTI. Base with plenty of options, could not be happier. Never even test drove a BMW SUV, the Porsche is a better car, period. Interior space etc., yes you lose on some fronts. |
