1) Aside space in the rear, lower visibility etc, the X6 is also stiffer as ride comfort or are at the same level X5 and X6? Because if the X5 is more comfortable in terms of stiffness, I go for her. Esthetically I prefer X6, but I want a comfortable car, and if the X5 is more than X6, the choice is made!
2) The lack of rear wiper is never a problem for you?
I have no actual proof and the fact is the X5/X6 are basically the same vehicle..but......
In driving the non-active steering versions of both vehicles back to back, the steering felt MUCH better on the X6. The X5 felt almost disconnected (to me).

There are plenty of people here who claim the X6 rides BETTER than the X5 (and they have both). I have the Adaptive Drive option and there are people who say the X5 with adaptive drive rides much worse than the X6. Search the forum for X5 X6 ride.
