Replying to: mrlover (Aug 05, 2005 12:22 pm) On my recent annual visit to Toronto, I actually saw an FX there that had chrome tubular running boards. I'm certain the FX was registered in Ontario. I'm not so sure that it's a good idea to put running boards on the FX since it really does not have a high ground clearance. Also, I think that it lessens the visual appeal of the vehicle. Our 2003 FX35 has heated side view mirrors, so I'm certain 2004s have those, especially Canadian models. |

| For any of those out there still trying to decide if they should really give into their desires for an FX35, I say "go fot it"!!! I have had my FX since last November and still love it each time I start it! | |

Replying to: mtmikey (Aug 07, 2005 6:37 pm)  My FX35 has a little over 12,000 miles on it now and for the first 10,000 miles (mostly 93 octane) I averaged about 17.5 mpg. For the past 2000+ miles (mostly 87 octane) I've averaged 18.5 mpg.

I have had my FX/35 AWD (2004) for a full year now (15,077 miles). I love the FX and it never ceases to amaze me. Here is a summary of my unbiased observations (pluses and minuses) over the last year: (1) Superb engine and transmission ( I get 21.1 miles per gallon, mostly highway driving, octane 87), (2) highly reliable car, (3) Quite a few squeakes (and at least one rattle, which I hear any time outside temperatures are below 50 degrees F, i.e. Winter-months and especailly over rough roads of northern chicago suburbs I hear this one rattle; even after FOUR attempts by dealear to solve the issue - well, I changed my dealer). (4) The Suspension is great on smooth highways (18 inch wheels, non-sport supspension, although in all honesty for majority of people out there it might still be a bit stiff on especially rough roads; I however love mine), (5) Superb handling on both wet and snowy roads (only with 18 inch wheels, but not the 20's, which slip and slide on snow and slush) (5) Relatively Limited cargo space as compared to other comaprably sized SUV/Cross overs. Enjoy it responsibly.

Replying to: cyrus (Aug 08, 2005 11:18 am) The 20s have plenty of grip on dry, wet and slushy roads. On deep snow, not so good. In that case, either buy snow tires for the winter months or drive a Volvo XC70 like my wife's when you face a snow storm! The only real bummer is the interior. A bit bland, not very upscale and several minor squeeks from the driver's middle arm rest which also functions as a storage bin. It seems to rattle quite a bit. Otherwise, this car is AWESOME! Jon B.
