Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and just had to ask this question because this thread is perfect for my problem. I am in the process of selling my Mercedes clk55 AMG to get an AWD SUV for my new job in Michigan. I am not acclimated to driving in snowy conditions and feel a 12 yo RWD v8 beast isn't what I need right now. I was hoping to get a 2013 FX LE but have recently been having second thoughts because I also like the Q5. That's why this thread is so perfect. My only other vehicle was a BMW but my mom had an Infiniti in the early 2000s and it was really reliable. I found the fx I wanted and already had a list of mods I wanted to do (aero kit, black out grille and side vents, tint, and put in a remote start.) One thing that keeps bothering me is the fuel economy and the other is that the AUDI Q5 has amazing reviews. I haven't had a chance to test drive either but plan to do so tomorrow. Sorry for hijacking the thread but can anyone that has experience with both tell me your thoughts about the two. Also, I know being on this forum tge responses might be biased but can anyone tell me things they love/hate about their fx. I just don't want to get the fx and then not be satisfied, so any input on the subject would be great. Also my plan is to have this car for 5 years and then get something new. Thanks in advance!
