Exactly. I was merely speculating on other choices that are the size of a

Careful! I’ve heard less than complimentary things about the Tiguan. At least
the first couple of years, not sure if it was chronic stuff.
Do your due diligence.

that’s more ML-ish, maybe GLC size I’d guess.

They are big and don’t ride too easily. At least my GL450 doesn’t. I’m not sure
I really like it, I think a combination of the size and tall ride. My 2000
suburban actually rode better and is a bit larger. But it will tow 7klb and I
suppose the size makes it relatively safe. Tons of room in it
Almost looks like something a fella would buy his daughter who will soon

I'm not a big fan of a clutch, but I'm a huge fan of "You will be in this gear,
NOW!"
The E320's gear override is fairly responsive, but the X5 could decide to take
several seconds to do that.
That’s the main reason Mom chose the Daiwoo - she was a hard core “rower” and
would only drive a stick. It was one of the few cars my brother could find that
offered a manual transmission at the time.

Our 2nd daughter had a daiwoo. got it as a high
school graduation present. She picked it out since
it was the least expensive and had a manual shift,
which is what she wanted. I have to say it was a
good car and lasted for about 10 years till
someone hit her in the back and she decided to buy
