2013 BMW X3 xDrive20d review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 7/10

Since it is a German-built car, it is little too basic for the diesel range. Pre-warning options are pretty good. As a family car, it is a satisfactory one.

Practicality: 7/10

It is little rough in terms of the comfort, but good on fuel. The brand is well known and a prestigious manufacturer. Interior is little hard, but the fabrics get damaged quite easily. Cargo area is small.

Driving: 6/10

I enjoy the drivability of the car. It is easy to handle and has decent power. Too shaky, though, could be the size of the wheels.

Running costs: 5/10

Very good on fuel. Day-to-day running costs are quite affordable, but services can be expensive and parts are little expensive, too.

Reliability: 6/10

It’s a reliable car if you keep it updated. Regular services and mechanical parts should replace at the first warning.
