Switching from the X3 to the venza was horrible, venza still has a stiffish suspension but it feels like you're driving a panel van or something. Never had any reliability problems with the x3 and the fuel economy was significantly better (about 15%) Felt like it had more power and was way faster and also smoother everything. Venza's ingress/egress and interior toys aren't bad but still miss the x3.
The Venza is an unfair comparison to the X3. I think the Infinity EX/FX would have been a better one, but the BMW would still probably win based on road feel and driving dynamics.
