Hi there, I am new here.. and I currently own a 2004 Acura TSX and I am looking to trade it in and get an SUV, I am considering mainly the rx330 and the fx35 awd with touring package, tech pacakge and XM.

I have several questions :)

1. How much should I try to bargain for? The MSRP is $44,240

2. How does it comare to the RX300 or the RX330 ( we are currently leasing the rx300 also)

3. Does the 04 have bluetooth for bluetooth enabled phones?

4. Is onstar available on the 04 model?

5. For 3 and 4, if they are not available will it be available on the 05 model?

6. On the navi screen has anybody found a way to make dvds play?

7. Did you buy an extended warranty on the car? How much? How long is it valid for?

8. (I have not yet gone to the dealer to look at the car), but, it is my understanding that you do not need a key with the car, and that you need the remote and you can touch the door handle and it will unlock? It will also start without a key? Is that correct?

9. What is the pickup like on the car? Like I said before I havnt had a chance to test drive it yet.

Thanks :)

Both the FX35 and FX45 are decidedly more built and tuned to be a "Sports SUV". That means they are more agile, handles better, but gives you a less smooth ride and will let youknow about every little bump and crack in the surface you are driving on.

The FX45 (that's what I drive) will out-accelerate just about anything on the road with the exception of real, high performance, sports cars. The FX45 will give you a 0-60 time right around 6 seconds. The sound of the engine / exhaust system is AWESOME, it really sonds as potent as it is.

Thanks
