i love my FX and right now there are great 27 month lease programs on it so take advantage.

it gives it very nice handling and the seats are supportive especially on long trips.

Kenny, did you get an FX instead of a new G35?

I love my FX35, it's pretty rare and I just like the different look of it. It does however get pretty bad gas mileage. I'm only getting about 21-23mpg on the highway and between 13-15mpg city...but the city driving is pretty much stop and go rush hour in Northern, VA.

no i got my FX b/c the 12 month lease was great and I needed a winter car. i have to admit the sumitomo 22" all season tires worked well in the ice and snow storms we had this season.

yeah the gas mileage isn't great but most crossover/suv's are in that range.

The gas mileage on the FX35 is definitely not too great for local driving..For highway, this past weekend we took it up to Vermont from NY and got roughly 260 miles to a tank which is not that bad..From a driving standpoint with the touring 20's its rough on NY roads. But the handling is soo beautiful. This thing just sticks to the road and handles better than some cars..It was definitely an entertaining drive. If your looking for a sporty aggressive fun to drive vehicle the FX is definitely that. The design is also very unconventional which I hated in the beginning but love now.

Good luck with your decision

-Vin

Have owned 2 FX35s. An 03 & 05. Both are bulletproof. Getting 18mpg city; 20-22 hwy. Almost traded for a Ford F150 Super Crew King Ranch (no flames, please). Then someone hit me and I came to my senses.

There is nothing like driving an FX, the comfort, sportiness, handling etc... just beware once you start to Mod it you will become addicted.And if you have deep pockets your imagination can go wild... There is nothing like the driving experience once you get in.
