ew i test drove a fx-35
what a piece. Fidgety as hell, impossible to see out of, vomit orange interior and the damn radar cruise control doesn't work to save its life and sets off the V1.

what's depressing, when the drunk redneck with the diesel dually beats you. in an e90
But you can know that he had to spend $295 to do so

You love South Carolina, don't you?

Do you have a 328i/325i? That redneck didn't smoke a 330i, did he?

Edit; Just saw your profile, 325xi.

FX is faster no doubt, but if we were looking for 0-60 times we would have bought 335's. Race the FX through a clover leaf at 50mph, see who wins and who is flipped over in the ditch.

FX35 is more comparable with BMW X6 3.5I not with the 3.0 X5

The X6 has the same hp but bigger torque at lower rpm. X6 also does 0-60 mph faster than the FX35 although it's heavier.
X6= better fuel economy

In conclusion: If you were driving an X6 or X5 with the TT 3.5I engine you
wouldn't be smoked by an Infiniti.
It's a shame that BMW doesn't offer the 3.5I engine on the X5.
