New guy saying HI, looking to get an FX35 for my wife and getting rid of her 2000 Durango. Lots of info here to go through, we've loved the FX for a while and I think its time to upgrade, any year that I should stay away from?

I also have an 05 Evo and 04 Audi A4 Ultrasport which I will be keeping.
 
Welcome! No problematic years that I can think of... just differences in preference on suspension and bubbly seats. The brick seats are quite a bit tougher, and perforated seats in later years (I think '05+) helped out. The '03 Sport suspension is the stiffest of them all.
 
Welcome to :iS:


You i have something in common - Im a 3.5 V8 eater too - hahahahahahaha kidding guys!

Probably the Evo.

Yep, more so the Evo, it has about 300HP to the wheels with just an exhaust, boost controller and ECU flash. The name really started when I had an Eclipse GST with about 450 HP. The A4 is only a 1.8T with a few mods, that's my daily driver and Evo is usually in the garage to help make sure I keep my license.

As far as the FX, still looking but in no rush it may be a while before we get the right one. The 04 we looked at was OK but not that clean, I think the wife really wants a white one anyway not silver. Haven't seen too many with NAV.
 
So now I'm starting to think about the FX45, how much worse is the gas mileage and what are the other differences, obviously besides engine size. It seems the 45 has much more standard options, like NAV and stuff.

If it's been answered before I will search, bt I did a quick search and didn't come up with too much.

Thanks
