I just sold my 2005 fx35 fully loaded w/ 97000 miles to a dealer. I only got $9000 for the FX35. I did not want to sell the fx35 to a private party because the FX35 started using a quart of oil every 700 miles.

Best in its class...however

I traded my Explorer for this vehicle. I am very happy with everything about it. The style, the performance and simplicity of regular maintenance. Changing the driveline is very simple. Take bolts out, fill it with the proper fluids and put bolts back in. Other than the tranny, all fluids are available anywhere. Air filter is easy to change. Spark plugs are harder because of all the wires and the cover, but shouldn't take longer than an hour. BIGGEST problem of this vehicle is its valve covers (alot of them). They leak after 80K and you have to change them BOTH. With the cheapest options (you buy the parts, you get your buddy to install it), it will still cost you $600+. That sucks

Fun Car never had any real repairs had the car for between 45000 and 94000 miles. Get the sports version has the silver rack on top and the larger tires seems to ride better than the other versions of this vehicle. Uses lots of gas around the city will average only about 16 MPG driving mellow. I am pretty tall with long legs and the car is comfortable. Cannot say that about too many.

I bought my FX-35 from an Infiniti dealership with 29K almost five years ago. I now have 96K. In this time i have gone through two dash boards due to deffects in the material which was fixed by the dealerships, two tears in the side of the uphostery, a small plastic gear in the front seat controls has broken which is a $900 bill and now the transmission has failed. I took the car into the dealership for an unusual noise in the drive train and routine maintenace. i picked it up and it wouldn't shift into reverse without pressing down on the gas pedal. And then there are those horrible, horrible Bridgestone Potenza tires.

Once you drive one you could only then understand the difference between sport design SUV’s like the FX35, FX45 or the BMW X6 and the rest of the SUV pack. I drive daily in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area and the FX is best equipped to be agile enough to zoom through heavy traffic more like a sport car then an SUV( more like a sedan on steroids). I have the 2005 FX35S sport package including the larger rims but the car does not need any additional sport features…..it breeds aggressive driving…300HP ….sport exhaust system. Supper cool interior (I have the light cream interior) with excellent attention to details ( M. Pop)

I have had my AWD FX35 for one year now and have had no problems whatsoever with it. I did replace the tires with what were on it from Kumho to Goodyear Fortera which I am very pleased with providing a stable ride on wet and dry pavement. It has tons of storage in the liftback. I love all the bells and whistles. I would highly recommend this car.

I bought this car about a 1 1/2 years ago and I still love driving it. It was my first SUV but I must say it drives like a sports car. The BOSE stereo, Backup camera, and the NAV are must haves on this car. I got it with the beryllium exterior and brick colored interior and people drool when they get inside. The snow button is great too. I could not imagine driving in the snow without it because the car has so much power.

Enchanted in the showroom, for some reason I can't explain I was not happy with this car for the first 40K miles. The original Goodyear tires were terrible, but otherwise, the car was fine. I just didn't bond emotionally with the car. Then I replaced the Goodyear's with Toyo's, and I began to love it. A few months ago I was in an accident, the other car ran a red light and hit the front fender. No one was hurt, and $9K later it was repaired, better than before. All the road chip damage from lots of freeway driving is now gone, replaced by a new bumper and grill, and the entire front-end repainted. I kind of wish something would wear out so I could rationalize buying a new Infiniti.

Yea, but...

I have similar problem to another post. My dashboard is blistering like a boy scout with poison ivy. I complained within the warranty period but service would not act on it. I should have sued. He said "No, never seen or heard of such a problem. You can bring it in when the factory rep is here, but he's not likely to do anything." I like the car in many ways, but when you get down to it, for the price, they just can't compete against Lexus because of the quality of service Lexus provides. My wife had a Lexus 11+ years and her interior looked great. When we had a problem with the A/C "out of warranty" they still replaced it because they said there were factory defects. THAT'S SERVICE.

I have a 2005 FX35 that I paid 43k and I would not recommend any of the FX35. Infinity dealer replaced my bubbling dash board July 2008 when my car had only 28,000 miles. Now 14 months later at 40k miles the same problem. Out of warranty by 2 months and Infiniti dealer is not willing to help me unless I pay $1500 to have the dash board replaced with no guaranty that this will not happen again. The problem is the glue that was used in the dashboard is causing the problem. You pay good money for a car and it is a big problem. It will lower the value of my car. I do not recommend this car to anyone.

Excellent build quality. Had it for 5 years now and never had a mechanical problem. The only problem was the CD player, but the dealer replaced it with a brand new one without me paying for anything. This car handles very well, easy to drive, not as comfortable as some other SUVs though. Guess it's the sports tuned suspension I have.

Having been a 240Z enthusiast years ago, the FX reminds me of that driving experience. The cam comes on strong at 3000rpm; third gear is the true workhorse. This is a vehicle one can drive like a church lady on Sunday, or really let it go. I've left several friends breathless when jumping on the throttle. They didn't expect such performance... especially those with the Lexus RX series vehicles. Everything about the vehicle is great. Styling, handling, build quality, comfort, intelligent cruise control, too many other things to identify. I've had SUV's, BMW's, probably more than 30 different vehicles. Hands down, the Z car and the FX have been my two favorite vehicles!

Infiniti's FX is the best out there!!

Ok where to start? Adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, ikey.. The list goes on! I felt like I stole this beauty at the price I paid. This was a former Infiniti lease, that i picked up. It has 29k for the miles. Its 3.5l 280hp rwd is like driving a Z car, but with soo much more room. Sure it has Bose sound, but I enjoy the engine more! All I have to say is if you haven't driven this vehicle, you are truly missing out.

It is simply the best looking and performing Crossover SUV for the money that I could find. I test drove everything in the price range/ model years. Nothing American was even close. Runners up were the Porsche Cayenne (too expensive, but awesome) and the BMW X5 3.0 (underpowered and a bit rough riding) The FX35 has great acceleration and really moves out on the freeway. Handling is amazing... feels like a sports sedan. SAFETY features, AWD and NAV system make this a real smart cruiser. Everything within arms reach inside. AND the EXTERIOR... well, everything else seems ugly now. Biased opinion I suppose.

I love to drive this car! I bought it primarily for safety, but it quickly turned into the best car I have ever owned. It handles nimbly and quick, like a sports car. The engine is powerful and fast - I have avoided several accidents because of the maneuverability of this car. With the AWD and 20" tires, the car holds the road and I feel in total control, even around tight corners. The interior is slightly small (great for me, since I'm 5'2", but a tight fit for my husband who's 6') but the comfort and luxury makes up it. I would recommend this car to anyone!

I was not familiar with the car and my husband wanted to buy it. I now LOVE it. I love driving it on road trips the seats hug you! I love the engine I wanted at 350z and feel like I got a bigger version. My kids even love this car! I'm thinking of trading it as my kids are going off to college and am having difficulty parting with it. I didn't think I would but like the others said the one down side is the gas it is a drinker.

What can I say. Power, good looks, fun to drive, & reliable who could ask for more? This Infiniti is an excellent vehicle. My wife couldn't stand the design at first but now drives it more than I do. Plenty of power when needed. Fuel mileage is good for an SUV I get about 15-17 in the city and 21-23 on the hwy. Ride is a bit bumpy but it is to be expected for a more sporty ride. I handle and take curves better then my 98 Q45. Compared to the Lexus RX and Acura MDX it is by far the more exciting to drive!

I've leased this car for three plus years now and am really having a hard time with the thought of turning it in. Mine has the standard 18s because I do live down a country road. I've beefed up the power with a Stillen system. I highly recommend this for anyone serious about exploring the car's true sports potential. Not that the car is underpowed stock but wow this mod really helps let the beast out. Now with 300+ hp it just loves to run. The beemer crowd are often shocked when this car not only hangs with them but leaves many behind. Ok so I'm a little old for an outright sports car but this one is stealth personified.

I have tested ALL SUVs and crossovers. I have been a mechanical eng for 30 years. When I researched this FX and drove it, I was sold on the spot. Every day I drive it I like even more. I am probably the pickiest person when it comes to spending $. I just want what I pay for. I felt this was the only SUV that gave me that feeling and still does. Quality from back to front and top to bottom. It just came down to how much quality do you want for your money.

I purchased my FX35 used in 2007, I had been wanting one for a least a year but was torn between the FX35 and the VW Toureg. Well I made the right choice I have fallen in love with this car. Coming from a VW beetle a 4-cyl to a powerful V6 was an adjustment when it came to the extra power. This car gives you the best of everything it rides smooth like a luxury car but has that size of an SUV. My fiance' and I took it on a trip to Las Vegas and it did great.

I previously owned a Honda Accord but wanted a vehicle that would give me more room and a classy look. I never expected to purchase the FX35 but after viewing the ivory pearl color and test driving, I immediately feel in love. This car is a real head turner and I've gotten so many compliments on its design. I have plenty of leg room and its fun to drive.

This is a very capable car, particularly if you like a more sporty feel, but also want comfort. Although the sport ride is stiff, on longer journeys I don't find the car tiring. On twisty roads it's a lot of fun - my only dislike is the manual gearbox mode which often refuses to shift. At 6'5" there are not many cars I find comfortable, but the FX is great for the taller driver, even with the sunroof. I really enjoy the different look of this car. If only it had a few improvements to the drivetrain. Having said that, I would buy another one, only it would have to be the V8. The V6 is a great engine but still too puny for this heavy car.

I inherited this car from my wife after I recently bought her a Tahoe. I was a little skeptical at first. I knew she loved the car, but the car was different than anything I had driven. Over the past few months, I have fallen in love with the car. I have ridden in a friend's Cayenne S and have driven other crossovers. There is no other vehicle on the road that drives like a sportscar, feels like a sportscar when you are behind the wheel and still allows you to put a bicycle in the back with both wheels on. Amazing. I'm about to supercharge mine and make some modifications, but it has plenty of power from the factory. I recommend replacing your stock air filter with a K&N.

I have had this car for four months now, and had an Infiniti previously as well. I am hooked! This car is thrilling to drive, super comfortable, great on gas, and although I usually could care less about driving here and there I actually look forward to driving this car every day. It is so super responsive, it's got the agile handling of a sports coupe. It's got space to grocery get,and yet it sticks to the road like glue, and is so un- minivan like. The standard/auto switch shifter is MARVELOUS! I can nagivate tight turns with ease and without cramming on the brakes all the time. It's got a wonderful sound system, and dvd for my son-who thinks this car is the bomb! I am loving this car!

I have an 2005 FX 35 AWF with over 46000 miles. I am trading it in for a 2007 simply because I don't plan on driving this much in the future. Four of my neighbors have the same exact color FX that I have so this is a really good reason to purchase another. I have had absolutely no problems in 46,000 miles. The dealership provides excellent service, second to none. The 20" tires are good for about 25,000 miles. The brakes sometime act jerky if you attempt to stop while turning. They made an adjustment and the problem seems solved. I have had Mercedes and BMW's, the BMW my wife drives. The service there is good but for a car with 13000 miles in 3 1/2 years she has had more problems than I

I love my FX35, but I'm looking to get rid of it now. I can no longer take "driving" the car. There is no comfortable position to be in. Either your knee's are in the dash or the steering wheel is too far away. My biggest problem is the steering wheel is far too small! My hands honestly hurt during my commute. I'm 24 years old and I doubt I have bad hands or anything like that. If you only drive a few miles than this car is an awesome car, but not a commuter friendly car.

The Infiniti FX is an automobile that I am very proud to own. Each day when I get into my vehicle I actually look forward to the 40 min commute. It handles like a dream, the sound system is awesome and for my 5'4"frame it is very comfortable. As a previous owner of a Dodge Stealth Turbo I can appreciate the fact that it has the feel of a sports car and yet the safety of AWD. I live in the foothills outside of Denver and it is great in inclement weather conditions. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO MY MOTHER!!!!!

I was first attracted to the design. Owning it for 2 years now, everything about this car has lived up to it's promise. Gas mileage is the only low point. At 42k miles, I am at 18.1 avg. mpg. That's a combination of hwy. and city driving. It's very cool to still get comments from people on the street about how great a design it is. No regrets buying this one.

I traded in a Mercedes ML and this car has made driving fun again. Everything from the tuned exhaust to the seats to the stereo is superior to the Mercedes. The quality and fit are also better. I've driven this car in 11" of snow and at 135 mph on Hwy 80 (in the Nevada desert). It performs equally as well in both. Love the pick-up, love the corning, love the handling. It's a sporty ride though, not a soft luxury ride; this car is for drivers.

This should not be catagorized as an SUV. This is really more like a 350Z with a lot more room and 4wheel drive. It is uncanny how it corners, and 280 HP out of a V6 - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Good stuff, well designed.

I recently purchased this vehicle with 21k miles. I've owned it for 2 weeks now and my wife and i constantly fight who's driving while doing errands. I was between this car and the Rx330. The lexus was a bit too plush for my tastes. I like road feel and aggressive excelleration! After my wife test drove both vehicles, it was obvious which car to get. But i do admit, the interior is a bit nicer in the Lexus, but the fx dominates in all other aspects! Ive driven the whole lexus line, bmws, mercedes, porsche, acura, and a few infiniti's. And must say this car has a great feel and is extremely solid! I get excited everytime i walk up to the driver door with my keys!

I love this car. Period. Has no trunk but I knew that when I got it. Let alone sport suspension, standard suspension is bumpy - but if you test drive, easy to see that. I average 19 MPG combined city+highway. Highway actually close to 25 so I am not complaining - it is higher than I expected. Sole grumpy point is that you can't play MP3s in the CD drive.

I'm just turning in a 2 year old FX and wanted to share a comment or two. This will be a great used car. Reliabilty has been OUTSTANDING. The quality of the leather doesn't quite match the Lexus I've owned, but, in every other respect, the mechanical quality has been great, and, this is a hoot to drive. Style cramps the trunk a bit, but, it is a distinctive design among all the look-alikes. Gas economy was 16-18 mpg: not great, but, this car is very, very, fast. I know Infiniti has made a few minor improvements, but, the electronics on the car are also best in class. This has been a very good experience.

We have owned a 350Z, one of the first G35's and now and FX35. All have been really fun to drive and been very reliable. The FX is a great size and a fun car both around town and on the highway. You hardly feel it shift and yet you can get out of the way of trouble when needed.

I've had this car for about 9 months now and can't say enough good things about it. It's fun to drive, has good acceleration, has a fantastic bose stereo and is one of the coolest designed cars on the road. The front seats are some of the best I've ever sat in, with bolsters that hold you tight. Head room is good for tall people (I'm 6'3"), which is hard to find these days.

Excellent styling, reliability, handling. If you like driving, like sporty cars but hate the fact that these cars can go under rigs, and do not need lots of cargo room, this is a good option. Drove rx330, MDX (no German or Sweedish SUVs because of lousy reliability) - and the FX won by a mile.

Bought the car used (20,000 miles) in an "As New" condition...I wanted the space of the SUV/SAV cofiguration w/o the traditional truck chassis and inherent ride issues. I am truly amazed a the success of the "crossover" concept. The FX35 handles extremely well. While not quite the equal of my BMW 3 series coupe, it's acually very CLOSE! The seats and creature comforts are superior in evry respect.Great Car! I paid $27,000...saved almost $14,000.

Love the look - and you won't see many of these on the road! However, don't buy on this alone (like I did). Caution if you get motion sickness easily! I've owned mine a week now, and unfortunately I was ready to take it back after 1 day. For those who don't know what a stiff ride/tight suspension means, pay attention to the way this vehicle rides - even the tar lines on roads feel like big bumps. On some roads with multiple repairs I actually feel like my eyes are bouncing - making it not only uncomfortable but annoying. Also, make sure you consider the seating. I ache when I get out - both my back and seat; and I'm a healthy woman with no aches/pains - until I drive in this seat.

Having owend this SUV for a short time, I am amazed at the way it feels and drives. I was considering Volvo XC 90, VW Touareg, M-B M-Class, and the BMX X-5. The FX was the best looking, best handling, and feels like a sports car, not a "family car".

The FX35 is a unique vehicle. I traded a BMW X5 3.0 in. The FX35 handles better and the FX35 is faster. The BMW did have a smoother ride over bumpy roads. The value of this vehicle is hard to beat. for a comparably equipped vehicle the FX35 was about $7500 cheaper than the BMW. Overall if you want the best looking and most fun to SUV this one is hard to beat. The one word of advice I have is stick to the 18" wheels, The 20" wheels make the ride to firm. I stuck with the 18" wheels.

I have now owned this vehicle for 13,000 miles and don't regret one of them! Over the Thanksgiving Holiday I drove from southern Louisiana to Chicago in 14 1/2 hours with no residual road pain. I then drove the same route back on the following Sunday. I then packed the vehicle and moved to California with a side trip to Colorado to ski. Another wonderful trip however it was a little slick in the mountains west of Denver as these tires are not made for snow, deep snow at that on Interstate 70. The ride and steering are responsive, the engine has loads of low-end torque, the Bose sound system is fantastic, and I love the looks from other drivers wishing they owned it. I will have own another!

I love driving this car....it has a fun growl, great handling, good speed and pick up on the on/off ramps. It turns very well and is just a beautiful car. My only dislikes is that when I try to turn it on sometimes, it does not come on. I have to turn off the auto lights, the air and the radio in order for it to come on. It is a new car, so not sure why that is happening. Overall, two thumbs up on this Infiniti winner! If your thinking about it....I say go Buy it!

What's not to like? Not much... Handles, accelerates and generally runs well. I've added some aftermarket items such as a cold air intake, and plenum riser and stabilizer bar. All of these extras plus the car's original features make it a wonderful compromise between car and SUV. If you want a cushy SUV that is less sporty, then the Acura MDX or Lexus is for you. If you want a little bite, and some more meat on the bone then the FX35 will give you all of that, and your neighbor's wife with 3 kids won't be driving one either (unless she's a little hip and edgy)

The FX35 is an excellent intro vehicle into the Infiniti line. This is our first Infiniti and it won't be our last. What also makes it such a good vehicle is the dealers who were willing to work with us. Dealers in five different cities were helpful and persuasive. Ultimately we purchased the vehicle from a city about 100 miles away from our home. It was well worth the salesman's extra "touches" that he put into the car and how he closed the deal.

Great value

I have owned my FX35 for about 2 weeks. I love it!!! Only drawbacks- watch your head getting in because the window is a little low, driver handgrip interferes with window controls and there should be a change holder. Pros- Handles well, stylish, Bose stereo sounds fantastic, navigations has already saved me!

The styling is excellent and the interior makes you comfortable. Plenty of room. Great handling, response and don't need any more power. The higher seating gives a more comanding and comfortable feel. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys feeling the road. This is definitely not for people who want to feel cushy.

At first I was put off by the how much the road was translated to the interior but the responsiveness of the suspension -- particularly the stability when cornering--makes the stiffness of the feel well worth it. This crossover is definitely not for the casual cruiser who just wants to pick-up groceries and sit-up higher than most drivers on the road. Get this car if you: 1. like to drive with spirit. 2. have got $$ to burn on gas 3. have reason to carry 3-4 people + a pet with any regularity. 4. expect to have snow or inclement weather more than a few times every year (plan to get real snow tires because the factory installed are NO GOOD.) 5. like style & individuality

The exterior design & interior quality are unparalleled. This sport-ute grabs attention on the street. It's fun to drive and is incredibly comfortable and well designed. I researched this car extensively before buying and have no regrets. I opted for the sport & tech packages. The 20's (wheels) make a bold statement, and the nav system is a must. The FX is for someone looking for good performance and the ability to hit the snow & haul passengers. The rear reclining seats are a great innovation, and provide exceptional comfort for rear passengers. As researched, and now experienced, the only faults of this car are par MPG (17-19) and a little stiff ride (w/ the 20's), otherwise - incredible!!

A Good Choice For Fun and Safety!

2005 FX35 non-sport, technology package. Non-sport chosen for a more comfortable ride (18" wheels vs. 20" wheels and stiffer suspension). With spitited driving, 20 MPG in summer & 17 in winter. Compared to my previous Subaru Outbacks, the performance of the FX's AWD is good, but not great. When driving HWY speeds on a sporatically snow covered HWY, the back end of the FX started to slip out. Being used to AWD systems, I didn't over-correct and I immediately felt the FX's AWD system spinning wheels to make the proper adjustments. Still, I didn't expect that loss of traction on a flat, straight HWY. I've since put a set of Blizzaks on and I've experienced quite an improvement in traction

Think of FX35 as a sports car with room for 5 adults and cargo area in the back. It is not your typical SUV. The ride is sporty with instant turn- in, little body roll, nimble steering, and excellent throttle response. Did I mention fantastic exhaust sounds? Seats are the best in class with wide range of adjustments. Leather feels expensive. The interior is modern and well-build. It feels a lot more refined and expensive than that of G35. This car is fun to drive and can carry some cargo if you ever need to. If you love cars and need ability to tackle snow, this car is for you. If you need a mom-mobile SUV with lots of cargo and soft ride, look elsewhere.

Looks good at first, but beware!

The FX 35 has a few glaring issues. First, I just couldn't get the driver's seat to be comfortable. 800 ways to adjust, but none comfortable. After one year of driving, it ruined my back. Second, the rear heating/ac vents run under the car with no insulation. That means, in cold weather, the heated air is cold by the time it comes out. Completely unacceptable in my book. "Nothing we can do about it" according to the Infiniti dealer. "It's up to Infinity specs." If that's specs, wow! Then the front door swings open and bounces right back. Quite the surprise if you turn the other way to grab something before you try to get out. Again "up to factory specs." I really question Infiniti Quality.

FX35 SUV is really a Sport

I must start off by stating that my previous car was a Lexus GS400. While the FX35 is not quite as fast it is far more sporting than any other AWD SUV I tested before purchasing this vehicle. I needed the AWD for winter Driving and I needed a some utility. The FX has less utility than most mid sized SUV's but it is the only one in this price class with this much SPORT. It loves the back roads and and I recently took it on a 2000 mile trip and I was surprized how comforable the seats were for the long haul (I am 6'1" and over 60 years old). I really liked the comfort of the drivers seat. It has lots of leg room!

I have had the car for 1 week. This is a good choice if your looking for a car but need more room and don't like wagons. This is my first suv after years of subaru wagons both low & high end. Good power, great handling, nice stereo, good looks. 20 inch wheels look good but the ride is very stiff with them. Trunk is smaller than some wagons. If you have a large dog you will need to remove the trunk cover for room.

Had not thought about the Infiniti till i saw it at the state fair. Sat in it and fell in love with it. Test drove it and read reviews here. It is everything and more you could want in a sporty SUV. It is not a car for frequent trips to HomeDepot or Lowes it is for the highway!!.. Drives like a dream. I have never had a car handle the road like this one does. I cannot wait for my first long distance road trip. Infiniti has a well kept secret here. The ride is firm but not bumpy as some say but if you know anything about sporty cars the ride should be firm.

I've owned the FX 35 for 6 months and look forward to getting behind the wheel every time. I recommend going with 18 in wheels for a better ride/drive balance. I went with the tech package to get the rearview camera, and with the blind spots it was well worth the extra $$. It definitely has love it or hate it styling, but most people love it. the biggest drawback is its fuel economy - I get about 15 MPG city and 19 MPG highway. With gas at $3/gallon, it has affected the costr to own. Service at the dealership has been impeccable.

I purchased the Infiniti to replace my Jaguar XJS Convertible, I was looking for something very sporty, but something that I could share with my family and something that I could take to Lowes that would hold more than a couple of shopping bags. This SUV has a fantastic suspension, if you like a very firm sports car suspension, it corners exceedingly well but it's not for those drivers who like a soft ride. My wife hates the ride, she calls it bouncy, but as I said it's firm and you definitely get feedback from the road. This is a car that does not float, it stays glued to the ground at all time. Power is always adequate, but a tad delayed if punched, maybe due to an electronic throttle.

FX35... a total dream.

Great little vehicle, looks like an SUV, however, while driving you feel like you're in a [sports] car ... The front and back end look tough ... doesn't look or feel like your typical vehicle.

The FX 35 is fun to drive. Not too crazy about the fact that premium gas is required with the cost of fuel these days. Gas mileage is about 18.3 on the open road with no traffic. Ride is rough, but then it is a sports car type vehicle. Handles real well on the turns. A bit noisy. Moonroof should close automatically when the vehicle is turned off. Seat controls should be relocated off of the seat, difficult to get to. There are no running lights during the daylight hours when the control is set to auto.

The car is great fun to drive and it performs like a sports car. The interior finishes could use some improvement in order to make the car as exciting on the inside as it is on the outside. The tech package is a definite must and the backup camera a welcome feature. My experience with Santa Monica Infinity was so horrible (I have never been treated with such dishonesty and disrespect in my life) it affected my enjoyment of the car at first, but now I love it. I have had wonderful experiences with Southbay Infinity and highly recommend them. I wish I had gone there to buy my car. They will definitely be doing all of my service in the future as they did on my QX4.

...that I bought it again. Had an 03 FX35, traded for a Honda S2000. After 6 months, I missed the FX so much that I traded in the S2000 for a new 05 FX35 Diamond Graphite/Willow/Sport. Took a beating on the trade but am happy the FX is back. Great performance, handling, design. Stereo is excellent. Tire brand stayed the same -- meaning it will last 20k miles and it's time for replacement. Oh well, the price you pay....

Goes like a bat, can't imagine the FX45. Motor noise gets a bit much w/windows open. Back up camera is well worth it. Ride is firm, but, handling and throttle response is incredible.

I had the Trailblazer, Mercedes 500ML, the Mercedes CLK and so on ... not one vehicle I've owned or driven compares to this one ... My husband says on a scale of 1-10, this is definitely a 12.

Disregard the stated gas mileage on the window sticker. Figure on getting about 20% less than what is listed. Fun to drive, but the seats are to narrow and the controls on the seat are a pain. Also, no interior hatch release, big pain. The memory seat function won't work until the key is on. Therefore, you have to enter the vechile to adjust the seat. Kinda defeats the purpose huh? A definite must add is the clear bra. If you don't the flat face front area will be chipped before you get home. All that aside, great car. Nothings perfect.

F&I was substandard. Service has been excellent. If you could buy this vehicle w/o going into the dealership it would be great.

If you're looking for an SUV, this may not be the right car you. This is a roomy sports car. I like everything about this car and its ownership experience. Great looks, great performance, super reliable, 5 star crash test ratings, one of the best working, most efficient navigation system in the market... I'm so happy with this car, I'm considering of getting another FX, this time a 45, for even more serious sporting. Very good 4wd system - comparable with Carrera 4. Reviewers complaining about hard ride and lack of trunk space, there's nothing wrong with the car, this car is just not designed to do that kind of work.

After owning Maximas for some years with the final Nissan being a very sluggish Pathfinder, it was time to step up to my dream of owning an Infiniti. I started with a small 4- door sedan, then a medium-sized luxury sedan,and finally settling into my FX- 35 Crossover, having wanted to get back into a SUV larger style, but not as large as Infiniti's SUV. I wish I had tacked on $8,000 more for the FX-45 with the GPS System, but that will be my next vehicle. Overall, it suits my height, and although the seats are not as luxuriously comfortable as my previous Infiniti, I am totally happy with it. Trunk space is more than ample, & I tuck a lot of necessary (all the time)items in my FX-35. 10+++

I've had this car a week now and all I can think about is driving it. What a pleasure! Drives like a sports car. I'm getting better gas mileage than I thought I would from a sport/SUV, approx. 18.5 in the city. Love the Intelligent key system. Just put the fob in your pocket and you never have to take it out again until you get home. I'm really pleased with this purchase.

The FX is a Great Car to drive. It's performance is outstanding, class of it's own. The design is exceptional and overall comfort is excellent. You give up a little comfort for the Sports feeling and handling, but who notices. The finish on the paint makes taking care of the FX that much easier. I love the color, Diamond Graphite. Thanks Infiniti for a Great SUV.

if you buy the sport and tech package you can't ask for anything more in a car and it DOES handle the curves like a dream. I've taken a sharp curve at 70 and never felt a shake or shutter, just hugged the road like a dream. You don't have blind spots with the camera either. It's all in what you're willing to settle for. I checked out the Lexus and their complete package could not provide as much for the money as I got in my Infinity.

I needed an all wheel drive car for a move to the NE so the styling on the FX35 was attractive. I have not driven it in snow yet so I will update the review this winter. I have a steep driveway and it will be a challenge to get out when it snows. We traveled 1800 miles in the car and it drove like a dream. I haven't driven that far in 30 years yet I enjoyed this trip due to the car.

I love this car! I was so unimpressed with every car I saw until I saw this one. The interior is so comfortable and luxurious. It is also so much fun to drive and handles great. The ride on the highway was so smooth that I had to keep checking to see if was speeding (I was doing 90 and didn't even know).

Well ok I finally had to chose a car other than a my roadster (Z4), So I researched, I looked and compared and I am so glad I got the FX-35 RWD. No need to get the AWD if you live in S. Florida like me, the car has enough active safety options to assist you in everyday accident avoidance. The car feels like a great driving machine, handling is great, tight to the road the interiors are sporty and refined. the outside, well let's just say: it is not your average soccer mom's drive. I am a sports car junkie and the FX35 was the perfect "bigger" car to get when my wife had to get rid of her Land Rover... I love driving the FX 35 when the Z4 is taking a well deserved rest!

I recently leased an FX35 with the touring and technology packages, which includes the navigation system and rear- view camera. The car is a real head- turner and performs beautifully - at freeway speeds you think you're in a sport coupe. The interior is nice, but doesn't have the "luxury" look - more utilitarian. Lots of dashboard buttons, but I've found that I've used almost every one at some point. Fuel economy for an SUV is good - getting 19mpg on mostly freeway driving. I had heard a lot about blind spot problems, but I haven't had any issues at all. Ultimately, if you want to drive a sports car in the summer and an SUV in the winter, this is a perfect compromise.

I test drove all the SUV's on the market and have owned 6 new luxuary cars in the last 6 years. I wanted an SUV that would stand out and at the same time give me the performance of a sedan, reasonable fuel consumption and reliability. This is the first vehicle I have owned in 6 years that I really love to drive, summer or winter. The styling and finish is excellent and although not the biggest cargo space for an SUV, definitely sufficient. Superb road handeling, and always gets looks. The 3.5 engine is rated as one of the best in the world, and for good reason. All in all an excellent choice, and the service at the dealership has also been exceptional.

The handling & style are wonderful. So is the fun to drive cache'. I have had problems with the electrical system. The left channel of my stereo does not work and Infiniti cannot fix it. Also, there are clanks comming from the driver front side which cannot be fixed. I really like this car, fun to drive and handles well, but cannot wait to get back to BMW to a company that cares when there is a problem about the car. Infiniti corporate does not offer any help when problems arise. Too bad, the car was on the way to being great.

Fun to drive. Attention getter. Good gas milege, while providing a good solution for carlike/sporty ride combined with the additional height off the road and comforts of an SUV. Fabulous car for a young professional that wants to drive something fun, without having to compromise space. It's also easier to use to pickup your boss and important visitors, than attempting to stuff them into a 2- seater. A great mix of form and function.

Good power and handling. Throaty sound on start-up rather cute. Adequate (but not large) storage. Very good looking. This car has keyless operation, which is great! No fumbling for keys to open doors or start the ignition. Auto seat and outside mirror adjustment per each driver when door is unlocked. Test drove Lexus, but its power is marginal. Ride of the FX is reputed to be stiff, but seems okay to us. Reputed blind spots also do not seem to be a problem, either. Nav system works well - tells you in advance if there is a left turn immediately following a right turn.

The unique style of this SUV caught my eye, but after only seconds behind the wheel I knew that I would own it. It handles like a sports car with the power and quickness of a predator. My Laser Red FX35 has the beautiful, and hugely impressive 20 inch chrome 8 spoke wheels. The wide, low agressive stance gives it that "ready for the race track" appearance. The automatic transmission is set like a jeweled time piece allowing the 280 horses to reach their desired rpm before smoothly but energetically grabbing the next gear, making each shift feel like I was doing it all manually. I am often ask "what is it?" Its BOLD, its AUDACIOUS, its SEXY! And no one will ever mistake it for a Lexus!

i just got my fx two weeks ago,i said i would not drive it to work everyday to keep the mileage down. YEA RIGHT that did not work its just to cool not to drive all the time. it handles like a sports car , but alot more comfortable and you gotta love the exhaust note it purrs even in idle. even the backseat is real comfortable and it reclines. my only gripe is where they put the widow controls u gotta be a contortionist to mess with the windows while youre driving.

After a year in an unreliable German piece of overrated junk, I am satisfied. The engine is thrashy and unrefined when floored, but otherwise pulls like a torquey electric motor. The ride is as bouncy as my old sports car, but not as flat-handling. All features are a compromise, (not a sports car; not a minivan) but it's the best sportwagon out there.

With the Sport option with 20" wheels, the ride is very hard-especially if driven in on urban roads. If not, then the performance and handling are great. It's like driving a sports car! The main problem is with the limited sight vision on the sides and the rear.

I love my FX35. It is fun and fast. It has 280 HP, quick on the highways and very comfortable to drive. I really enjoy the 20 inch tires, the car handles incredibly well. The only downside, if you want to get picky is for $36K the car lacks a third row, something that I need with 3 kids to haul around. The hatch is fine, but I would of preferred to have an extra seat if they could have designed one in the vehicle. I tested the Mercedes M 350, the X5 and for the money the FX 35 was the right choice.

The designers at Infinity said they wanted to create a "Bionic Cheatah" when they built the FX, well this cat really roars! When looking for a daily driver I needed a car that could handle the everyday grind and at the same time be blast to drive. The FX is fun around the twisties and never fails to entertain. From the thump of its 13 speaker Bose stereo to the throaty growl from its polished duel exhaust tips, the FX is always music to my ears. I got mine fully loaded with the Touring, Technology, and Sport packages. I also added XM Radio and the rear DVD entertainment system. I've only had my FX for a little over a week, but my feeling is that this honeymoon will last for quite sometime.
