I love my truck. I can bring anything I want to the track now. During the event it serves as my office/storage dump.
It's reasonably comfortable. Doesn't get even close to a nice sedan like the M3 but does pretty well compared to another SUV.
The sound of diesel kicks ***. Somehow I end up turning on the Country music stations on the XM radio.
Bringing it downtown is a PITA but after a big snowstorm it's fun. I claim all the parking spots inaccessible to other cars by crushing the snow under the truck.

==> did you get SLE or SLT? the top of the line trim is right on par with M3!

==> you need BANKS power, that's music

==> that's what i thought. i can't park the thing and i look like an accident waiting to happen in the office parking lot, everyone just let me park wherever i want and they stay far far far away from me.

Mine is an SLE. The interior is pretty nice. I can't complain. I was talking about the quality of the ride on bumpy roads. A well made car will always win as it doesn't need to struggle to keep itself from tipping over or carrying 3/4 ton of load. Bigger vehicle like SUVs and pickups always lose in that regard.

i didn't like it. so i put in bilstein HD, you can also do bilstein 5100. they are cheap. $75 a corner. it made a tremendous improvement. not smooth like M3 or RS4, but much much better than OEM pogostick.
and you also need titan tank, so you can make it down to CA with one tank ;-)
i got 52 gal, oh so nice.
