I’ve test drove both the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. Need help making a decision, which is better value and why?

Upgrade to the SQ5 if you want a sportier feel. Loved mine, but ended up trading it in for a larger Q8 instead.

I negotiated similar to CIO on my A4 PP S line. Got it for 23% off MSRP.

Re-test the Q5 with a coffee or water bottle in the cup holder. You’ll buy the BMW. Personally, I broke from both and went Volvo XC60 in Oct.

I am sure they are both great. Which one has all the options you want and is cheaper. That is how I would decide.

Also don't forget Acura rdx. Rdx can easily be the best overall package in the segment

Second this one. Test drove a Q5, liked it but couldn’t get price I was okay with. Ended leasing a base model RDX with AWD, absolutely love it. Under $400 payment, and it’s more power than the Q5. Good on gas, plenty of space and all comforts, didn’t opt for the safety package which has the blind spot detection, but it has overall good visibility and it’s a good size.

X3. Hands down. Perhaps look at X4 M40i. Mean, beautiful machine. Blows Audi out of the water.

X3 M40i. You will not regret it.

I went with the X1 after seriously considering the X3. Bought a 3 year old model with the 3 liter turbo 6. (N55). Did a stage 2 tune and some suspension work. Pumping out over 400 horses/pounds of torque. Sure, I can't get as much stuff into it compared to an X3...but its a hell of a lot more fun.

Have any of you told your family how much money you make? My family has never asked but I feel like my partner’s family is always trying to figure it out and it makes me uncomfortable. They assume that I make a lot because I’m an attorney. I often get comments like “well you can afford it because you’re a lawyer.” I do well for myself but I am far from rich. I am so grateful to have a job but I’d rather not disclose my salary to anyone other than the IRS.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
