Feels like a bigger vehicle while you're driving.Coming from a Nissan Murano, I can say it feels like driving a rocket ship.Totally beautiful inside and out.Quality and craftsmanship unsurpassed by any other manufacturer.It was worth paying a little more.
This is "The 4 Door Sports Car" !!

If you're looking for a car that is fast, has great handling, is smooth riding, comfortable and super quiet - This is the car for you! After 6 months I still can't wait to hop in it each morning to head for work. I have owned 35 cars and this is as much fun as a sports car without the punishing ride and all of the other drawbacks. It also looks great and has plenty of room to haul things with the rear seats down. Yes the back seat is small but I'm an empty nester and the front seats are great. It's also exclusive. You won't see yourself coming and going like in an Lexus RX 350. If you don't have to haul around a bunch if kids; treat yourself and put an EX 35 in your garage.

Did lots of research and test drove several competitors and chose the EX and am glad we did! If U R looking 4 a modern, sporty luxurious 5 door hatchback that has sports sedan handling, a powerfully superb V6, useful cargo room and which is easy to enter/exit, thanks to the slightly elevated ride height put this vehicle on your short list. Up front it's roomy and most comfortable (dual power heated seats and dual climate controls). Overall, our EX has proven 2 B an exceptional driving experience every day with some cool tech features thrown in.

I have owed G35 Coupe, G35sedan, G35X sedan, G37 Coupe and now the EX35. I can only say one thing WOW. This car has a great ride, great performance, and is so easy to get around in that I can say it has been the best infiniti thus far. Love the hatch back for easy access. The only improvement would be a little more leg room in the back seats.
Nice, But.

I've been driving this for a month as a loaner from dealer. Car is a blast to drive. Power is unbelievable and transmission is silky smooth. Wife didn't realize once she was going 100mph. Everyone LOVES the backup cam. Interior isn't huge. Seems equivalent of a Camry. Blind spots are annoying. You have to really turn your head to be sure. Using this car for a road trip with spouse and 3 kids may work, but you will use roof for luggage.

I have bought Infiniti EX35 in June 2008, since then I have not been happy with the car, the brakes starts creaking 5 days after each service, paid for brake pads a couple of times on recommendations. Still not closure to this problem, apart from this the outer side-view mirrors creak each time i put the car into reverse, the sun-roof vibrates continuously. With the money spent and the so called reliability of the car portrayed has left me in dismay. I think Infiniti could do a better job. Really disappointed.
A good drive, lower quality build

Prior to this vehicle, I owned an FX35 for two years. I wanted the same performance in a tighter package...which is primarily what I got in the EX35. However, the build material and quality do not seem as good as the FX model - thus, the price difference. Decent fuel efficiency, fast drive and decent power, this little car has a punch. Small interior space in back seats, no power jack in the back area (bad if you have IPOD or phone users back there!) cheap visors that break regularly, and seals on the doors that come off...some of my 2 cents on the inferior issues. Also, scratches and marks VERY easily, inside and out. If you have long nails, or move a lot of items around, careful!
Perfect fit

I needed to lease a small luxury SUV. Test drove EX35, FX35, ML350, Q5. I have owned in the past X5 and FX35. BMW X5 was too expensive to consider this time. My kids are grown so I wanted something small and fun to drive with decent mileage and luxury for a reasonable price. The EX won easily. The EX needs to be driven to be appreciated. Very fast, handles great, good ride. The space is fine for my needs. Front seat comfort is excellent. So far avg. 20.5 mpg in mixed driving. Rear seat comfort is OK, better than reported. The lease deals are so much better than anything else in this class.

My wife and I shopped for four months, we looked at the BMW 328i, VW jetta, Nissan Maxima, Infiniti G37, M35, FX35 and the Lexus IS350. We really wanted a small vehicle with comfort, we wanted a sharp Interior, a good ride and performance. The EX was the only car that fit the bill. I am 6 foot tall and the EX fit me well. We are empty nesters, the back seat was not a real concern. We were happy the the service from the Infiniti Dealer and the price received. We purchased the 360 monitor system, my wife really likes the way it helps her park.
EX instead of a sedan

We are a family with two small children. We were looking to replace a small sedan with a small crossover, something to easily drive and park in San Francisco. We wanted a top safety pick. There are not many cars that have the manufacturer option of both front and rear parking sensors. We found them especially helpful in our minivan. We also wanted HID lights, a small turning radius, and easy access to the rear seats for placing children in car seats.

The vehicle is very responsive and fun to drive. Drives like a sports car, with very good ride quality. With only a couple of hundred miles driven, I am very pleased with vehicle. Dealer was pleasant to work with and I expect excellent post sale support when required.
