I know that on old RWD Detroit sedans, it was a rather simple matter to change out the rear axle for another one with a taller or shorter gear ratio, and thus modify the final drive ratio. Obviously, this is more complicated with an AWD car like the M35x. Given the annoyingly tall final drive, even in top gear, that Nissan still insists on using for the AWD 5-speed, is it feasible?

If you are going to consider the sport, find a road with a tar strip between the lanes and see what happens as you change lanes (crossing that strip slowly). Many find that the wheel catches and almost pulls the car away from you when it catches on that strip.

Replying to: ghstudio (Jul 07, 2009 4:41 am) Mileage is +25% better than a G and +30% better than an M, Large trunk and fold down rear seats make effective carrying usefulness beyond the M35. Steering , handling and ride and ride are much better than an M and superior to a G. Two wheel and suspension options on the quattros. Third option is adjustable suspension called drive select. European designed for $8.00 a gallon gas. Superior speakers in Audi's mid line stereo to my Bose 14 speaker M. Bose is the Oreck vacuum of sound systems. Lightweight, over branded and overpriced. I think a G37 is a great car but small for me and thirsty. Overpowered beyond my needs. Go for it if it works for you. Great bang for the buck. No sport suspension offered on G37X. Beware the OEM rubber on Infinitis. M35X is a load that can hardly stay straight on the road. Terrified my wife and daughter. Noisy, harsh, and too thirsty. 14 mpg in the burbs with a/c running. Never drove a RWD M35. Not sold in NY. I assume with the 7-speed it is better. Great rear seating, great quality and gizmos, loved my dealer, Pepe in White Plains, NY. I would zip up my wallet pocket before going to Audi service. I prepaid 45,000 miles service.
