Review

I admired this luxury vehicle for three years prior to purchase. I would test drive the FX35 periodically in hopes of one day becoming an owner. In June 2007, I purchased my brand new vehicle and I have enjoyed driving it. I never really liked driving until I purchased this vehicle.

Favorite Features

I love the way the seats hug you and the bose stereo system is awesome. Pure comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage

Riding like the law in my new FX35

Review

I purchased my new Autumn Copper FX35 in March, 2007. It has exceeded all of my expectations regarding performance, styling and ergonnomics. It has all the options except the rear entertainment system and run-flat tires. The engine is smooth and torquey, my gas mileage in Houston's freeway traffic has averaged 21.8 mpg, surprisingly. I love the Autumn Copper color for this vehicle. It seems to bring out all the lines and compound curves this vehicle has to offer. The aggressive styling sets it apart from any other vehicle on the road and the 20" wheels add a sport stance that looks better than the standard 18" wheels. I don't carry a lot of things, interior size is good.

Favorite Features

I like the navigation system, especially the "Birdseye View" mode. the keyless entry and start feature is great. The feature I'm most impressed with is the "Intelligent Cruise Control" in commuter certain traffic situations I can set it and enjoy not having to modulate my speed manually.

Suggested Improvements

Add the new 300+HP engine from the new G37 Infiniti coupe. My wife's 2007 M35 Sport, has a much sharper rearview camera than my FX35 as well as the Bose studio surround sound system.

FX35 is awesome!

Review

This is my second Infiniti. I was thoroughly pleased with my G35, but have to say the FX35 has exceeded my expectations. I will continue to purchase Infiniti mainly because of the excellent styling and reliability I have found in both vehicles. The look and styling of the FX35 is in a class of it's own. I had compared it to several other makes and models but again Infiniti came out well ahead for more bang for the buck. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that truly has an appreciation for driving a well built vehicle.

Favorite Features

Sport package with the 20" rims and the intelligent key feature. The interior also by far is one of the most attractive in it's class.

Suggested Improvements

Collapsible (automatic) side view mirrors and a full size spare.

Great Car

Review

I was wary upgrading from my 2006 G35 coupe. The coupe with 15k miles felt like it had 80k on the odometer. The FX is fantastic. I missed an SUV, and this car feels just like a (brand-new) heavier G35. It even handles better IMO. Whereas my coupe lost its composure over anything but the smoothest roads, the FX retains it on rough pavement. The sport package is a must-have for its looks alone. Not much to differentiate it from an FX45 except the chrome surrounding the side windows on the 45. Although to me the ride feels smooth coming from a sport packaged G35, others may find it harsh with the sport package. I can easily tear up an exit ramp in this car, no complaints!

Favorite Features

Exhaust snarl sounds like my G35 coupe! Exterior styling, 20" wheels, back-up camera, aluminum detailing around the rear hatch and roof rails is a nice touch, auto latch function on the rear hatch, hatch mounted seat releases, LED tail lights, interior brick color is sharp when seen in person.

Suggested Improvements

Telescoping wheel could telescope a bit more, a rear carpet would be better than the plastic tray, auto rear hatch would be cool, wood detailing on the 35 would class it up more, Not in love with the orange lighting on the odometer etc.

Reliability Problems

2007 Infiniti FX35 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Purchased what I thought would be a wonderful and reliable vehicle but had problems from day one. The major issue continued to be steering wheel vibrations. Infiniti replaced the steering rack and associated linkage to no avail. Car shook around 65 mph and continued at higher speeds. Replaced the tires, etc., still no relief. Got to the point I couldn't stand the shaking anymore so I traded it on an 07 MDX. I also had a lot of rattles in the FX.

Favorite Features

Great looking, and comfortable cross over.

Suggested Improvements

Reliability - get the vibrations and rattles out of the vehicle.

Excellent Vehicle

Review

Just leased the FX35 and so far I really enjoy driving this vehicle. Can't call it a car or an SUV, it is truly a crossover. A lot more sport than utility. Has some areas where there is obvious form over function (e.g. analog clock and steering wheel controls). The clock is cool, but there's a digital one in the display so it isn't functional. The steering wheel controls are not ergonomically placed for operation while driving; I've adapted. The ride can be harsh on rough pavement, more so with the sport package, but the FX handles the bumps with confidence and grace. It stays planted on the road. Missing some important safety features like DRL, auto locks, cargo cover, mirror side markers.

Favorite Features

Lane departure warning. Intelligent cruise control. HID headlights. 11 speaker Bose stereo. Supportive seats. Excellent handling. Gauges move with tilt steering wheel.

Suggested Improvements

Manual shifts are sloppy and inconsistent. Better steering wheel controls (e.g. M35 or G35 sedan). Selectable sport/touring suspension. Larger glove box. Rear air controls. Voice navigation. Adaptive auto leveling headlights. Auto locks. Mirror turn signals. Daytime running lights. An iPod interface!

Review

I am extremely happy with my FX35 and could not imagine driving another car or SUV period. I love the fact that I can take it anywhere or do anything and look good doing it. The woods to go camping one day, and to a show in town the next, I have found the perfect car for me.

Favorite Features

The navigation system is by far my favorite feature.

Suggested Improvements

The only thing I would like to see would be a voice active nav system.

Review

This is a great mid-size SUV that drives like a car. We test drove the BMW X5 and Range Rover HSE Sport in comparison to the FX35. The FX35 with the Sport, Touring, and Tech Package had better performance, comfort, and amenities than the rest. It is by far quicker and more responsive than the BMW or the Range Rover. For 15-20K less the FX35 is a great value as well.

Favorite Features

The Sport package is well worth it. The handling is much improved. The hands free option is nice as well.

Suggested Improvements

The Tech Package is very expensive at $4000, but is a must if you're on the road and touring a lot.
