Love my X35D. Have a dog, paddle board, its my daily driver....It replaced a 2011 Audi A4 Avant (that was setup very nice) AND a 2004 Toyota 4Runner V8 (that is lifted and sweet as well). It does it all better than those two (ok except MAYBE twisty mountain roads vs the lowered Audi). Averaging 22mpg since I bought it, mostly drive around town. On road trips I have it 28mpg+. So far (3,133 miles) I love it. It is surprisingly quick too with al of its torque!
