As a daily driver, the FX delivers good performance for the money.
Awesome thanks for your insight. Agree with you about the new Fx - not a fan.

Was that 15-17 for mixed driving? I tend to have a pretty heavy foot (got ~19 in my 335 manual for mixed driving, which was rated 20/30 I believe, or somewhere in there).

The used prices are pretty much the same for both the 45 and 35 - I originally was looking more for a 35 because of gas, but I feel like since its less powerful I'd just be gassing it more and end up getting around the same mpgs.
