After putting almost 100k miles on my cool Saab Sportwagon, I bought a trendy SUV, a CPO 2008 X3 3.0i in my case. As a Sportwagon owner I sorta' dissed the taller SUV's.
Well after a couple of years let me tell you what I don't miss. I'm not missing much in performance, 260hp and a 6-speed auto. Not missing much in cornering with 17" 255's, plus the X3 is all-wheel drive. I'm not missing banging the Saab front spoiler on every gosh darn thing and dip. I'm not missing the bent wheels. Dips, curbs, bumps that terrified me are now swallowed at full gallop.
I am missing my heated seats and the rich leather smell, and sight of the wood dash.
