Currently owned= 2005 G35x.
Likes: AWD, Power, easy to repair when needed. Parts are cheap/common because of the 350z/g35coupes. I like to mod cars and this car has a good/solid board to help/get feedback.
Dislike: Has a heavy feel to it, MPG could be a touch better its rated at 18/25. I get 18mpg lifetime mixed. If i knew that i would of just gotten a FX35, i thought i would of been able to get 21mixed. I never bitched about it, something i just accepted and i dont mind. rear seats dont fold down.
So now my brother said he would take my car off my hands, offered me $12,000. A little low but i dont care its my brother. I would probably have on hand $5-8000.
-So roughly $17-20k range.
-New or used, i like used cars a lot more.
-always owned a asian import (being asian and all) I dont mind euro or americans.
- I'm a DIY guy, i like cars that are easy to work with.
- If i can i would like 20+ mpg mixed.
- I like power, the 260 or 280hp my G35 was a good amount, 120hp in my old 96 camry is NOT.
- I would like to have it some ulitity, seats folding back and hatchback would make it really nice if i had to bring home a TV or haul around random things. I was mad i couldn't fit my snowboard in my g35 trunk.
Cars i've been looking into first gen FX35. Natural progress i assume. Has same engine i'm used to. Priced $15-20k used pending year and miles. Has the fold down,hatch i want. Only thing holding me back is I think there is a better buy out there for me. MPG i fear would be the same.
new chevy equinox. My co-worker has one. He loves it tells me i should look into it. I dont know the power about it or reliblity. I know the older gen was horrible in most cases. He does say MPG is good but no number. Its better then his newer pathfinder and he drives it more.
Any other cars i should look into. I wanted a SRT8 something but 14mpg is not what i want.
Any money i save, i'll most like get a NA/NB miata in the spring, that should offset the MPG issue.
