More fun than FX

This is a fun but luxurious car to drive which is what I wanted as my old gti was too low and dangerous for the mountains of Colorado in the Winter. Needed something I could drive all year but was still fun and wouldn't beat me up for longer drives. Tried a similar year FX and was sadly disappointed. Its possible it needed some front end work as it was used but the salesman who showed me the Ex said he thought I would notice the difference in handling over bumps in the road. He was right it was huge. The Ex also felt quicker and being smaller easier to change directions with. Both vehicles felt miles above the same year Bmw x3 which felt slow and harsher over the bumps. I am single so always just leave the rear seats folded down so the back seat room is a non issue for me. Not sure about the handling in Winter conditions yet as my tires need replacing and hitting icy spots is kind of scary right now. The EX3 is so nice on the highway when I want to pass another car as it accelerates really well. I just wish there wasn't that slight lag before the power comes on but its reasonable. I will say that the old gti with the little turbo was more fun to ring out going up the mountain passes here. The 3.4 6 banger might actually be faster if I want it to be but it just doesn't like to be revved to the max like the little turbo and isn't quite as fun going around the turns but then it is a lot more comfortable doing it. Owned for about 9 months now. Still no problems and still liking it. Not any problems after 3 years. In fact never in the shop yet. sold to my neighbor after 4 1/2 years. Still going strong with no problems. bought a 2017 Q50 cause it had the new 3L twin turbo. Kind of miss the EX35 size and ground clearance though.

I drive this car like a sports car. While not up to my C7 or GTR, it handles well in the corners and accelerate well from a stop. The only issue I have is front pillars. Somewhat difficult to see around, especially when you are trying to see left in a gradual turn. Have 160K miles on the car and no problems. Only had to change pads, oil, and all the filters. 10 years old, I keep it as a car to transport our 2 dogs. Also, Nissan's Bluetooth phone system sucks.

I made the jump from the Infiniti G35 coupe to the EX35 and as some others have said, the performance and fun-to-drive factors are the same but now I've got a backseat and a trunk. The backseat is a little small for passengers but the front seating area is roomy (I'm 6 ft. 2). The technology features like the push button fold down of rear seats and push button start are enjoyable. Wind noise is a little loud both with the sunroof open or driver/passenger windows down. All in all, I'm happy I purchased this vehicle.
Great car- still feels luxurious!

These were very pricy, like all Infiniti's by Nissan motor corp. 12 years later, paint still looks good, only one major repair- the plastic (Yep) radiator exploded at about 100K, My wife's daily driver with 150K on it and the engine is as powerful as ever! Rides a little hard but these were rocket ships! Fastest 0-60 MPH car we've ever owned. This car has been sold.

Everyone, I am a car buff. I research cars for months before I buy one. I always buy new cars that are from an awesome manufacturers. I test drive dozens of cars before I buy. I have to say that I love, love, love this car. It is very nice inside. It looks like a Lexus and feels likes a BMW. No joke. The quality is outstanding. The engine rev is awesome. I really like all the technology that this car has with it. The safety is number one in my book. Star ratings of 5 and 4 is very good. I like the look, style, functionality and ease of use for everything. The dual climate control is a must. The NAV and cameras are also awesome. I am very well pleased.
