Road Test: Jeremy Clarkson Test Drives the X6..is Not Too Fond

**DannyITR** · 01-05-2010, 01:52 PM

This review is hilarious. Clarkson travels to five different countries with the X6 just to make a point lol. Well worth the 8 min. Its also a good opportunity to test the new youtube embed feature.

you're not getting the point, it's not that it's bad, as more just useless.

A friend was looking into an X5 when they first came to market. BMW wanted it to be the best handling SUV availabe, they more or less suceeded at that, but failed elsewhere.

The suspension was too stiff to be comfortable on roads for long periods of time. The lack of lock-diffs and low range, not to mention wheels and tires available made it damn near useless off-road.

By the looks of that review, they have yet to learn...
