2008 BMW X3 SUV 3.0si 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Would Recommend 2008 BMW X3
 I bought this SUV a year ago and I'm extremely pleased.  Needs just regular maintenance as far as oil changes, etc.  No problems whatsoever.  Drives great and I feel very safe in this vehicle, especially in snow.  Very sturdy and I live in Pittsburgh so we get a fair amount of bad weather.
 I've had 3 Audi's and a Volvo; this is my first BMW.  I really do love the X3.  I can't drive a big SUV.  I'm 5'0" and this is the perfect size.  Not too small, but not too big.
 Note:  I have the 3.0xi automatic, not the 6-speed manual but it did not provide that option.
