I wish GM made the CTS AWD. It would be preferable to the BMW or the G35. I can't stomach driving an STS - just more car than I want. I bet the MPG in the Caddilac is better than the G35. What's the price diff. b/t a V6 STS AWD and the G#% AWD and BMW AWD? I like the idea of a RWD car that uses AWD when needed.

I got a price on the G with premium, a/t, sat radio and splash guards for 35.8 plus TTL. The xi with the premimum package and cold weather/ a/t maybe between 37 and 38. |

Replying to: kschoenrock (Oct 28, 2005 8:05 am) That being said the x is amazing. No issues what so ever & if you have to you can put it into "SNOW" which is full time 4 x 4 (AWD). Have not had it in rain yet but read on forums they are good. Also I like all the upgrades in the 05-06 over the 03-04's. Having a G35 & wanting an AWD I looked into them all. Like all the other comments for the money there was no choice even thou I thought I would maybe try something different. As far as the 325 goes, bottom line no HP! I could not stand getting smoked by a Sunfire, even thou the car is solid & the handling is tight, no power = no good! HP is what people pay for in every vehicle. Good luck with your decision

You also get reduced throttle response with snow mode turned on. I have one too, and just took a spin to the post office in a fresh 4" of powder  The X is an awesome winter driver

The BMW dealership told me this is how the BMW X works as well Imagine that  If so, that is a good idea that BMW borrowed from Infiniti In the past the x drive had a normal 60/40 bias split. This new strategy, (for BMW) must be for the 2006 model year. |

Both the G35 and 325i fitted out the way I want retail for about $40k. I will keep the car long term (10 years). My biggiest concern is the cost to maintain especially after the warranties expire!! Which is the more reliable car? I've driven Nissan Maximas for the past 15 years with little problem.
