What would you do?

[G]

Here are my two options:

1) A lower model with a 280 HP/270 lb-ft V6 engine, navigation system with colour screen, Intelligent cruise control, Intelligent Key that unlocks the doors automatically when you walk up to it, DVD entertainment system with 7" flip down console for the rear cabin, Rearview monitor display for backing up and tire pressure monitor system, 18 inch rims.

2) A top model with 315 HP/329 lb-ft V8 engine with 20 inch rims.

All the amenities are exactly the same for both SUVs except the engine and the optional tech package. The V6 with the tech package cost the same as a V8 with no tech package. What would you do?

I am leaning towards the V8 because all that tech stuff isn't worth much in terms of resale plus $7000 is a bit much for those few items.

Inifiniti FX35 vs FX45.

I don't think you need the navigation or DVD system. Are you going on long roadtrips or something? For that price you can buy all the road maps money in the world!

I would go straight for option 2

no quetion id go for the FX45

no replacment for displacement


and it comes with DUBBS

Go for the second one with the V8. If you are anything like me, all that electronic stuff means nothing when you're getting your ass kicked in races. Get the best engine first and then when you have more money later either put more money under the hood or then go buy those fancy electronics.

First question is .. besides nissan SUX .. anyother choice ?

If have to buy a nissan truck, then go for the FX45, if resale value is an issue, and if you won't keep a car long !

Go for the V6. The VQ engines are amazing, you'll get better fuel mileage and it really does'nt sacrifice all that much in the way of performance... In fact, with the weight gain and 20" rims I don't know how much quicker the V8 would be anyway.

FX45... My opinion of the FX35 is that it is just a Murano with different skin.

[C4S]

I think their chasises are different .... Murano and FX ..even they both Nissan...

[djfob]

More power or more stuff? I'd personally go with the fx45 cause you'd never use the dvd and navi anyways unless you got a family and go on roadtrips all the time.. But you'll be using the power all the time.

Both are great to drive, my dad just ordered his FX45 this weekend, Ive driven both, honestly not THAT much difference other than options, if you really want the 20s, they come on the 35 too.

[Nadz]

option 2 all the way...
20 inch rimss
thats sik

The first suggestion that comes to my mind is to get a Ford.

Outside of that, I'd get the V8 and stop in at Map Town on the way home and buy a portable Garmin GPS receiver.

why?? to throw away your money??
or maybe the excellent resale value??

[pinoyhero]

The 35 is nice but the 45 is just deadly I woulg go for the 45 if you can afford it. 20INCH!!!!!!!

[Numb]

Why would you want a DVD player in your car? I never really understood this...


I guess I could see if it was in a van and you had a couple kids? But if this is just for you, I think the V8 would be an obvious choice .

I really like the look of the FX45 not to mention it is one of the fastest SUVs made. Faster than a X5 4.6 and the ML55. It has the same exhaust as the 350Z. When started it up on the test drive the growl was amazing. I guess to each their own. I like Nissans thats besides the point. I like the FX because it looks so unique compared to all the other square boxes out there.

Yeah, the Murano is based on the Altima/Maxima platform and the FX on the G35/350Z platform.

But the resemblance in the body lines is unmistakable.

Have you looked at a Toureg? or a Cayenne S? They aren't boxy and have a lot of oomph!

I don't know why you guys get such a hard on for 20s. He could always buy them aftermarket.
