Is the BMW X3 due for a facelift any time soon? Any idea what will be done?

Can you tell me how economical the BMW X3 is in diesel, four-wheel drive (xDrive) guise?

Hi

I had four Skoda Fabias in the last 16 years, never had any problems, but I am looking for a slighly bigger car. I like the Hyundai i30 and going to buy a year old next week. Is this a good move? I like the long warranty.

I'm thinking of buying a mid-sized SUV and have narrowed my choice down to a BMW X3, Audi Q5 and the Range Rover Evoque. The Range Rover has the pedigree, but to be honest, I'm not going to do serious off-roading, I just want to cope with difficult weather conditions that sometimes crop up down the country and drive on the odd muddy track. Also, I understand the mpg figures quoted for the Evoque are a bit optimistic and to be honest, I can't but feel that the Evoque looks a bit girly!

The BMW ticks a lot of boxes, but seems a bit dated. I'm leaning to the Q5; it looks the part, has a decent engine, recent upgrade and seems to be a good all-rounder. Can you give any advice on choosing between the three? Also, I'm thinking of going automatic and again I was wondering if you had any advice in that department?

I am after a good 4x4 for work, the vehicle will see a lot of hill-climbing but not too much bad off-roading. I am looking at a 2008 Land Rover Discovery. I have to say it is like new, but for the mileage I will do (i.e. 500+ per week), do you think it'll be reliable? If not what would you recommend?

Regards

What do you think about the 2006 Nissan Pathfinder Extreme Elegance model?

Could you give me an assessment of Skoda's cars for reliability, comfort and economy?

Opel Insignia SC 2.0 160hp four-door saloon: reliable?

Where can I obtain an owner's manual, that comes with the car, for a Audi A3 1.4 2009?

What do you think of the 2011 Nissan Tiida 1.5d as a second car? Is it safe for family use?
