With all due respect I think your way of rationalizing an extra 800 lbs is pretty stupid. An X5 is a fairly agile mid size SUV and that is a primary reason while many people buy it. If you're ok with always driving around with the equivalent of four 200 lb people inside that's fine. Bur don't act like it has no affect on handling and agility. |
You must be joking, X5 and "agile" don't belong in the same paragraph, yet alone sentence.
If you are concerned about 800lbs worth of weight, get a smaller car and in all fairness, the 45e feels far more brisk on acceleration than a 40i. If you require agility in cornering, you're genuinely in the wrong car
