What counts is longevity... and on that front VW doesn't convince.

BMW X2

The BMW X2 feels like a sporty coupe dressed as an SUV, with sharp styling and a cheeky, youthful attitude that stands out in traffic. Inside it's driver-focused and compact but smartly packaged, perfect for city life and buyers who want BMW flair without the usual SUV bulk.

Excellent, very attractive car. Drives superbly. I previously had the XC40 — that was fine, but the BMW suits me better in pretty much every respect.
