This crossover is a pain in the ass to steer. There's an absence of steering feel that makes it really hard to place this car in a lane, especially as lanes get narrower and the pavement curvier, as they did on our trek back into Altanta. We had to make constant adjustments, but those adjustments required even further adjustment as we tried to aim the X5 a little more into the corner, or to offset earlier overcompensation.

They probably drove it in EcoPro.. G series cars are generally nice to drive in Sport or Sport +
