Jeep owner test drives FX35, what was that noise?

Brian Foster 7 March 2005 05:26:21
 Was that the sound barrier being broken? Sounds like a race car......, looks
likea race car...... must be a race car!

285hp out of a 3.5 liter engine. Still amazed at that after driving my
4.0liter GC for 50,000 miles

20 inch racing tires. Man does this thing change lanes in a hurry. Rides
like it's on rails.....

Alas, it only drinks high test gas. I don't think they have a newsgroup
either.

Darn the luck, I knew it was too good to be true.......

Looks like a *race* car? Yuck. The ugly stepsister of the Murano,
which is japanese for "pile of excrement". I've seen better looking
Preparation H suppositories with more artistic merit.

3.5 litre and only 285 HP? You couldn't even get into the back row
with that crappy rating.

Probably a really good idea to keep it that way, only drive on roads
as flat as a railroad grade. Keeps you from needing to be pulled out
of the muck by a mere 2.5 litre wrangler 4 banger.>

So what does that make the Jeep 4.0 liter that gets lower power &
torque? A hamstermobile?

 Now now Bill, don't be so mean. We should all congratulate Brian on
his purchase of arguably one of the fugliest AWD station wagons on the
planet. And hope that he bought the optional tow hooks, so the first
time he tries anything other than a Walmart lot, that pokey old 4.0
in the Jeep will have something to hook on to to pull that fugly
thing out of the muck.

 Gentlemen, thank you for your concerns. I have always subscribed to the idea
that if my tires somehow drove over something that was not paved or made of
concrete I had made a mistake :)­

I do off roading frequently but my vehicle of choice is either my feet or
something with the e-z go logo on it.

This 3.5 liter Rice Burner engine is AMAZING. Drove Houston to Dallas and
back this weekend (for kids swim meet) at speeds that would of made the Jeep
come apart and with gas mileage that the ole jeep could of only hoped to
achieve if dropped from an airplane.

As for the looks, alas you are correct, it simple does not get the reaction
my Jeep used to get.

I used to be able to drive in peace and quiet, in relative obscurity, now
everyone wants to go for a ride in my car. My kids volunteered to take some
friends back from Dallas to Houston. 3.25 hr trip turned into 4.5hr trip
when you factor in "I need a drink" stop, & "I gotta pee" stops. I think my
kids are selling rides in Dad's fugly car......... Never had that problem
with the Jeep............

No question, this thing isn't a Jeep.

 After reading all the replies, I have to chime in. I like the FX35 (well,
how it looks anyway!). It isn't a Jeep, but neither is a Corvette or a
Porche or a Kia. They each fill a specific need (performance, vanity,
economy). With all the traveling I did over the last 18 months, I'd have
much rather been in an FX35. Around twn and on the weekends, though, I love
my TJ. If I could have both, I would.

Alas, the TJ wins. Costs a heck of a lot less and I don't worry if I spill
something in it or my son makes an absolute mess (as 2 year olds do). The
only thing I have to worry about is whatever hits me -- I'm sure they'll
have more damage than me!

A friend of mine and I called it the "captain car" whenever we saw one.
Since we'd have to be making Capt pay to afford it! ;-)­

Really, guys, he likes his new car. Might not belong in this group, but he
likes it nonetheless. What's the point in beating it/him up?

 If we need to tote a bunch of stuff around we take the XJ. I don't think
we've ever ran out of space (although I'd like a roof rack sometimes...).
For the 'large' items, I break out the 4'x6' trailer.

Besides, Jeep was one of Trevor's first words. And he INSISTS on taking
"Daddy's Jeep" everywhere we go.
