 Know some do not like the harsh suspensionand heavy steering. That is why I stayedwith BMW and took a 2013 over waiting fora 2014. Found driving a model with thenewer steering was too light, remindedme of the 2 lexus had.The X3 drove with the new unit. I know the diesel hassome issue with expensive fixes.But the 2014 is going to have a revised diesel sofelt would be better off on the last run ofthe current motors. Build quality yes it goodbut have found some of the plastic pieces creak and pop,not what expect in a 70KSUV.So did not go a 5 in quality.But thisE70 has good visibility, good seating heights.Course got the multi contour seats.
