Hey Guys....
My wife is ready for a new car to replace her aging Maxima. We plan on starting a family this year and I
thought we would be looking at SUV's of some sort for the baby space. She is not a mini-van type person at all. She test drove the following: FX35, X3, MDX, Murano, Pilot, RX330. She loved the X3, loved the FX35 the most, and didn't like the non-sport feel of the RX330 (loved the looks though). After all that, she has decided that she really wants to stay in a smallish sedan.
So, now she looked into a whole slew of sedans and has narrowed it to the '05 Acura TL and the '05 Infiniti G35(RWD), both fully loaded up. Both rode ok, both were quick, and had lots of goodies (leather, wood, nav, sat radio, xenons, intelligent key [G35] bluetooth, DVD-A [TL]). The G35 did great at high speeds though she liked the seating postion and dash on the TL. I noticed some killer torque steer on the FWD TL when you hammer it. Going to also try to get her to look at the 330's this weekend. But she likes these two the best right now.
I've read a bunch about these two cars and have not found any big negatives to either. We all know that mama must be happy so I don't want to rain on her parade; however, if there is a real reason to stop a bad purchase I will definitely do it. Do you have any thoughts on these two cars or others in that range?
Thanks a lot
Kevin
