    My mom has the Evoque and its admittedly a beautiful car inside and out, but I'm a BMW man. The X3 interior looks classic and classy. Nearly perfect IMO.

    0:30 gah. i know the car is just a demonstrator but i had to cringe after seeing that suitcase being dragged over the bumper and leaving an angry scratch on it...

    That load cover and seat releases are almost the same as a MG ZTT I had. Which was almost the same as a 5 series. My son had the 5 and it was like the same car re bodied

  • @mazinais31
    @mazinais31 10 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    i beg to differ... like this interior more than evoque's ...

    • @surom123
      @surom123 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I don't know what the big deal is with the evoque! It's got a slow noisy Diesel engine made by ford, it's stupidly expensive, doesn't look that new anymore, probably not as reliable as the BMW either and i highly doubt it handles as well as the BMW!

    • @TheYBGOON
      @TheYBGOON 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      surom123 your last two points were guesses. Evoque not that more expensive than this. Im sure its better off road. it will probe get an upgrade soon too. Then it will replace those rubbish diesel engines. Just like the previous x3 2.0d was rubbish.
      Evoque looks way better than this and the updated one will look even better.
      x3 from £30,865 ad that is for a manuel 18d.

    • @surom123
      @surom123 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The range rover looking better than this is a matter of opinion I guess, however I just think the evoque isn't as meaty or as chunky as the bmw, just looks abit fancy!
      As for the Diesel engine, when bmw launched the x3, all diesels were shitty and loud but now this is 2015, and a brand like range rover have no excuse! I say shitty and loud because my auntie has one and it literally sounds like a 2001 e220 cdi!
      As for price, the base one may be cheap but what range rover has done is made. Standard evoque look so shit with small wheels and non LED lights, it's like they've forced customers to spend a load of money on them, where a standard base x3 still looks good because it isn't trying to be sometbing it's not

    • @bateman4741
      @bateman4741 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      ranger rover is made in the UK that's why they talk good stuff and a x4 is better and nicer than that ugly evoque

    • @The_18th_Fret
      @The_18th_Fret 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same here. I test drove the Evoque a few years ago and it was nothing special inside. Plus that gear knob is ugly as hell. Just feels wrong changing gears with a rotary knob -.-

  • @sulaymaananverbham1220
    @sulaymaananverbham1220 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    "Easy to slide items....Out..." Haha, there is definitely a scratch done there!

  • @piperbob2
    @piperbob2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What's the LONG-TERM reliability of the X3 like ? I have a five year old Mazda CX-5, which has developed a whining sound from the auto transmission. Looks like it will need a new gear box (at only 5 years old, and 65,000 miles ?) I need to find a car I can rely on.

    @reynoldwang2912 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    X4 with M Sport Package looks stunningly striking. I bought the X3 with M Sport Package because I needed the extra space. Oh, I am in USA, not Britain, BTW. I am lucky, I drive the petroleum model xDrive35i

  • @Box0rz
    @Box0rz 10 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Am I the only one who can't tell these models apart? Seriously, I think most BMW models have looked the same since 2005.
    Also, I think the interior looks pretty outdated. It has that 90s look.

    • @Narrowcros
      @Narrowcros 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      10 years ago I loved BMW, now I think Audi and MB are better

    • @danielmaia3559
      @danielmaia3559 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      True history I was looking at some new series 5 and it looks almost exactly the same as the series 3. If I'm paying more for the higher end model I want to feel special and having the same look as the low end model doesn't help at all.

    Hey Carbuyer! It would be interesting to see you do comparisons in the style of: "Which is the best station wagon (or sedan or whatever) for up to and about 30 000 £/€" or any other given sum.

    • @cangunaydin7540

      The X4 does not have as much rear seat and cargo space as the X3.

    • @mitsoskapoios5436

    @GamezGames19 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yup, the rear bumper got scratched. Not the reviewers problem, these cars have *form over function*. It should have a plastic sacrifice covering the top of the bumper.

  • @lewyn4k
    @lewyn4k 10 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Why not do car reviews of cars that you haven't yet instead of doing the facelifts of ones you've already reviewed?!

    • @lewyn4k
      @lewyn4k 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      But if you are doing facelifts of cars out at the moment, doesn't the Q5 need a re-visit? (This did and it's a main rival!)

    • @Maurazio
      @Maurazio 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      you know the car company has to give them the car, it's not like they buy them

    • @luxingens3674
      @luxingens3674 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'll second this, the facelifted Q5 is a quite different car (in terms of handling, at least for the new Q5s in my region)

    • @menifo4334
      @menifo4334 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Which car companies wouldn't give their cars for reviewing hence advertiising?

    • @Maurazio
      @Maurazio 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Meni Fo i don't know but there are hundreds of journalists and thousand of wanna-be journalists, maybe there's a waitlist. Probably they also not have time to review every single car so they pick out the most interesting first.

      @sly715091 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Simple answer; to increase sales. To milk the cash cow before they come out with the new generation. It's the same thing with Apple selling iPhone 4s/5s after iPhone 4/5.
