Infiniti EX35 Real World MPG

• Mileage on my EX35 sucks - always has!

  Written by: healeysandjags on May 5, 2011 7:40:32 AM

  2008 AWD Journey - loaded. My current odometer reads 21k. I use the car as a second vehicle with a 75 hwy/25 city mix. My car has NEVER beaten 16 mpg since I have owned it. I have checked and double checked the nav system calculator as well as the dash calculator. 16 mpg is the number. In this day and age that number is shameful. Alarmed by this result, I ... Read More

How long has the current Infiniti EX35 body style been around for?

• Re: How long has the current body style been around for? [stanwelks]

  Written by: smarty666 on Jul 21, 2010 11:33:17 AM

  Well its been around since 2008 and is going into its fourth model year now (2011). Typically, Infiniti does a mid-life refreshing at this point in their model cycles but based on what Infiniti reported as changing for 2011, nothing really is being done cosmetically to the EX35. Only thing changing is 7spd auto, some package changes, wheel and color changes among other small little changes.

  Written by: prema1 on Dec 11, 2009 7:59:51 PM

  I have been looking at a 2008 EX35, non-CPO, 25k miles, with Tech package, Premium package, Luxury Package, and Navigation/Camera package. Infiniti dealer is listing at $32k which seems outrageous for a used 2008 with this mileage. Any thoughts on what I should pay.

Infiniti EX35 Rear Seat Legroom

  Written by: jayhawk70 on Nov 18, 2009 8:38:44 PM

  If rear seat legroom, power liftgate, and cargo space are important criteria, should you consider a loaded Murano? Luxury features like the Nav/Music Box, leather, etc are the same as the Infiniti's , but at a price comparable to the EX35. (and ~$10K less than an equivalent FX35). (I am only comparing the redesigned 2009 Murano, which started shipping in early 2008.) I know its not a luxury brand, but do ... Read More

Infiniti Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 42 month lease of a 2008 EX35 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00021 and 46%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
