M2s and M3s are road cars that can handle a few laps without any major work. But they remain road cars, and that is where they truly shine, IMO.
The SUVs are practical, but IMO wagons are a much better blend of practicality and handling/driving prowess. I've never driven an SUV that felt like it overcame its core chassis issues once things got twisty. But that is also because those issues are insurmountible vs. a vehicle that does not have them.
