Quote:
The best EPA ratings belong to the Porsche—12 mpg city
Quote:
BMW and the Porsche achieve comparable chassis rigidity at much lower weight
Quote:
For a vehicle in this weight class, the test-track numbers are simply incredible. But the X5’s responses in the world of fast curves, decreasing radii, and quick transitions are even more so.
