I was driving into work today and saw an FX-35 and thought, "my three favorite cars are the C6 Vette, the RX-8, and the FX-35". Quit reading my mind.

P.S. - You're my role model

I have a 2005 FX-35 and all I can say is I have never been so disappointed with a car. I have had it for 7 months now and have about 7K miles on it, we are trading it in within the next couple of weeks. I am not very pleased with it. I love the looks, but all the things I have had go wrong is crazy.

Here is a list of everything

TPMS does not work, keeps telling me all 4 tires are flat
CD changer does not always work
The backseat armrest has to stay down or it squeaks like a cage of birds
Gas milage (it makes my 8 seem like a hybrid)
horn does not always work

These are the main things my wife complains about daily, the dealer is also a pain to schedule an appt with. To get a loaner car it is about a 2 - 3 week wait time, when I brought it in the tpms was told there is nothing wrong (the light was not on at that time) and they said they fixed the squeaks (it lasted for a week) thye could not get the cd changer to malfunction.

I have a grey one with the touring and sport options, not to mention the 20" wheels and stiff suspension is not a very nice ride. We should have gotten the Mercedes.
