| Do any of you work at the Richmond Auto Mall or know someone that does?
Do any of you work at the Richmond Auto Mall or know someone that does?
My parents are looking to get a new compact SUV/Cross over (in the next 6 months) and I figured I'd see if any of you work there so we can possibly give you the commission/sale when they buy their new vehicle. We'll be going to the auto mall Dec 26, fyi.
They are looking at (in no particular order):
1) Audi Q5
2) BMW X3
3) VW Tiguan
Handling and safety is top priority for them.
Thanks
Merry Christmas!!!
(ps. sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where to post this)

Tiguan is a huge step down from the first two options, just so you're aware.
At least give us a price range to work with.

The Q5 would be my number one choice, Followed by an FX35.

If handling is a priority, why look at SUVs...they're not exactly go-karts. Do they actually want "handling" or is this just a word people toss around?
1) Audi Q5
2) BMW X3
3) VW Tiguan

My parents are replacing their '93 325i. They also have a X5.
They didn't want another sedan because they want a bigger vehicle.
They are used to BMW handling and can definitely tell the difference.
My dads friend told him about the tijuan and he liked it and the fact it's German made, so that's why they are considering it.

They have an x5, and are considering also having an x3? The uglier smaller version that isn't actually smaller at all? Very odd.
Why not a newer 3 series touring if they want extra storage space? And keep the x5 for " off road use"

In before T4 suggests 4 runner
But on a serious note... Have you considered a 4runner OP? Meets your parents criterias. But I guess you are looking for german cars

with the cars he was looking at I was going to suggest a gx460
i dont think a 4runner would meet his parents criteria especially when they have an x5.

fuck no, not the X3
New X3 has shitty handling, no feed back, no suspension and fuck the fuel efficiency if you get a 4 banger tarbo. Only good thing about it is its bigger and sits like a X5. I recommend you try something else. If you're buying an audi, stay away from audi ricemond... no explanation needed.
Tiguan is not bad and quite cheap nowadays especially with such a crowded market. When loaded to the brim it is comparable with luxury SAVs.
GLK is pretty good too, but not alot of space in the seats and trunk. I'm waiting for the diesel version to arrive but V6 has plenty of power. Try to see if you can get GLK w/o amg rims

The Tiguan starts at $27,875 while everything else OP listed starts at $10,000 more (Q5 $39,900 and GLK $44,900).
The Tiguan is not a direct competitor to the Q5 or the GLK. If the Tiguan's in the picture, it'll be the CR-V, RAV4, Escape, CX-5, RVR, etc. that it's up against.
The Q5 and GLK go up against the XC60, FX35, RX350, X3, RDX, etc. Quote: |

Posted via RS Mobile | The older X3's are pretty ugly. But, they don't mind the newer one they said. Honestly, they probably won't get this as they have the X5 already, but left it in there just because. Quote:

Personally, I told him to get a Ford. He does drive a F150 for work and he loves that truck, but he doesn't want a Ford. Quote:

Wow, the RDX starts at $40k. I'll see what they say about that. Quote:

Posted via RS Mobile | They don't want a sedan. They prefer being higher up these days.

| Nope New X3 made my old X3 feel like a M car  Problem is they made the new X3 with higher suspension so you sit like a hugebox on top of four wheels compare to a higher sitting sedan. Used shittier brakes compared to before, handling has no feedback since you're basically driving a PS3 GT5 wheel. I did salom tests on the new X3 at 60km/h and got half the wheels up would rarely happen on my old X3; I guess this is due to the higher center of gravity.  It sways alot on cornering too regardless of speed. It pales in comparison when comparing with old X3 or new X1. It made the 100 worse cars on TG for a reason, it simply isn't a bmw anymore. It isn't german too atleast old X3 was austrian
Seriously test drive it before buying since it doesn't feel like a BMW anymore  . Autowest isnt that far from automall, just a 5min drive...

If you want to check out the x3, give my buddy Tyler Bothwell at Autowest a shout. He's one of my best friends and I think he's helped a few people on RS that I already referred. Tell him Brian sent you!
