We had an S for 18 months but, my wife in particular, was uneasy driving it in town. After an afternoon trial with an X, we traded the S for an X. Visibility, ride height, eases of ingress, more room for painting canvases, and the falcon wing doors. We have grand children and getting them into and out of baby and booster seats is far easier than any sedan. The X is easier to drive in the city and fantastic to take on scenic trips. Not like a pill box sedan view. Currently have about 28k miles, lifetime average 310 Whr/mile. The electron use is low because we are able to walk to most local spots. Only issue has been the opening of the driver's door. FWDs have been fine except for a seal replacement. All under warranty. The X is big, bigger than the S but the S is also a big car not to forget that it is a very attractive car.
