I was quite torn between the G35 sedan and the EX and I am more than happy with my decision to buy the EX. Since '03 I have driven a G35 (03), then moved to a big SUV the Nisaan Armada (04) and now the EX (4 days) all equipped with the premium and navigation packages. Then is by far the best of the three. I love the ride comfort and quite nature of the cabin when taking it easy and, when pushed, it responds like a sport machine. The engine is quite thirsty but, consistent with pretty much all variations of this powerplant. Not much space (think large coupe). The touch screen nav is easy and fun to use. Would highly recommend for those that can live with the space limitations.

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.

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.

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.

Bought 7 months ago and couldn't be more pleased. Handles great, comfortable around town and on long trips. Beautiful interior, great styling, been trouble free. Had a snow storm in December and it did well on the slick roads. A well designed and built car.
Great compromise

My wife needed to replace her 4 year old BMW 3-series convertible. Some reliability issues and serious aquaplaning in Florida's wet summers made us look at a different kind of vehicle. The EX has been perfect and both my wife and I love the car. It looks great in moonlight white with graphite interior, the navigation system is wonderful (my wife has no sense of direction and is not the most confident of drivers, but the sat-nav always gets her to her destination). The build quality is excellent. All-in-all, a great and exceptional buying and ownership experience so far. Long may it continue. Other manufacturers just couldn't come up with the goods.

I was looking for a compact SUV or wagon for about a year and a half and I found what I was looking for in this car. It's excellently designed, very comfortable, and drives like a sports car--particularly around corners. It's a fluid and comfortable ride either in the city or the highway. The rear seat is cramped but cargo is adequate for my needs when I pull down the rear seat. If you need space for people and cargo this is not the car for you.
Love it

I went from a Navigator to the EX35. I love the handling and the ride is exceptional. The interior is beautful with roomy front driver/passenger area. Yes, the back seats seem short on space but my 6'1" husband said he was very comfortable on a recent trip.

Great crossover. Fun to drive. Nice gas mileage - 18-20 city and 24-26 hwy. I bought this for my wife and she is loving it. I am a big tall guy and have no problem sitting comfortably at front seats. The back seats are kind of small and Infiniti should add optional sliding back seats in 09 model. Highly recommended.
Great Car

I finally convinced my reluctant wife to trade her 2005 Solara convertible for the EX35. I have an FX45 and tried to convince her that AWD was of more value than a convertible on which we have had the top down 3 time in the last year. Well the day after we picked it up we had an ice storm and now she is a believer. She loves the car and so do I. I'm trying to convince her to let me have the EX and she can drive my FX. So far no luck.
The kids are grown so go have some fun!

Yuppies will love this car! After the kids get out of college and mom and dad want to start having some fun, the parents ought to definitely check out the EX 35. My daughter was following me in another car and made the remark, "Geez, mom, you took off at the lights!" Yes, I sure did and will continue to do so! I have owned all makes and models of cars and never had the great time I'm having driving the EX. This car looks great, handles fantastically and is my very favorite, hands down. If you want to have hours of driving pleasure, please buy this car. It's your turn now!!!!!

I've had the car for exactly one week - 400 miles. So far I have nothing but praise. I was looking for a G37 Coupe but just couldn't get comfortable in the heavy bolstered seats. Sales person suggested I try an EX. After a few test drives I was totally sold on the car. Bought one on the spot. It is luxurious, powerful, quiet, handles really well, comfortable and the build quality is first rate. The Bose stereo is awesome. I chose not to buy the high tech pkg but everything else is there. I love the rear view camera - what a pleasant surprise that has turned out to be.
Great Little Ride

I have a lot of reviews on the EX35 and some people just don't like this car but we love driving our EX! It is a perfect size for us. I know some people say the rear leg room is tight but we rarely have people in the back seat. The cargo room is ok. The interior flow perfectly. We were looking at the Lexus RX and think the EX interior has everything in the right place. The materials are of great quality as well. The power the car delivers is pretty good. We own a 2006 G35 coupe as well and EX does as good a job as the coupe on the highway! DS mode makes it even more fun! The tech features on this car are great. Bluetooth works perfect every time. All systems work well together.
Best yet

I am a 3rd time Infiniti buyer. Traded in FX for EX and love this car!! I got just about everything on it but the Tech package. I have only had it for about 3 weeks, gas mileage is good (23 mpg/freeway) and love the sound system. Still figuring out all of the extras. I did knowingly downsize - the back seats and back are much smaller than the EX and would not be comfortable for adults to sit in back seats for long drives. Remains to be seen if I regret the smaller size. Also, trim around wheel well needs a small adjustment as it was not installed perfectly. Trim quality gets better every year... wood trim is nice!
Great looks, great performance

I've had it for a year now and still love it as much as I did when I drove it off the lot. I especially love the interior design and dash layout. It is very classy and well organized. The performance is also pretty amazing. Stepping down hard on the gas makes me forget I am in a crossover. The dealer is great and has always been very detail-oriented when appeasing their customers. I definitely recommend it if cargo space is not your highest priority, but you don't want to restricted to a smaller sedan.
Happy with my EX AWD

Went in looking for the G35 but when I saw the EX I loved it! Then I test drove and had to buy it. It's just the perfect size for me. Not too big of an SUV, it's really a Crossover but I did not need or want anything bigger. I'm single and rarely have rear passengers so this was a perfect fit for me. It's very luxurious yet sporty. The build quality is excellent, top notch. Too soon to tell the gas mileage. I've only had it for 1 month and not even at 1000 miles break-in. I'm getting about 20mpg city.
Please don't say we're there yet...

After 3K miles and 3 months of varied driving conditions, the EX is as fun as legal fun gets. I keep looking for that one extra button that will initiate blast off to that groovy space station on 2001: A Space Odyssey. It would fit right in. And isn't that what a car's ultimate goal is - putting you in a special place outside the drudgery of life? No, it's not for a family of four. I don't ride in the backseat, so that means nothing to me. The designers got it right. To lengthen it for rear leg room would ruin the lines of the car. So, its not the best car for the family, but when the last kid goes, this rocket should be on your short-list. Up front it's all good.
Great Crossover

I've had the EX45 for about 5 weeks and I love it. I have very few complaints. The car drives like more like a sports car than an SUV, the gas mileage is not bad. Cargo room is exactly what I need and though there are complaints about the space in the back seat, I had 2 rugby playing friends in the back seat and they said the room was fine. I do think it would be tough to get 3 people in the back seat. Storage is not bad and it what I expected. I saw that the service intervals are 3750K miles, but my driving habits are more like the alternate schedule, so I plan on getting an oil change every 500K miles
Outstanding Vehicle

Intended to buy a G37 but couldn't resist taking the EX35 out for a spin. What a great vehicle! Outstanding driving dynamics with the additional utility of back seats that fold down for a good amount of luggage space. The interior is truly beautiful and all the many features are intuitive and easy to use. True, the back seat is small and not ideal for full size adults. But we are empty nesters so this vehicle hits the mark for us. It was a difficult choice to make between the G and the EX, but ultimately the versatility of the EX and the incentives offered by Infiniti tipped the scales. After 2 weeks of ownership I am really pleased with the decision.

I have had the EX for a week now. I traded in a G35 coupe. The EX is much better for getting in and out of and storage. The moonroof has more wind noise that I would like. Also, I was disappointed that the windows were not tinted. I miss the "sound" of the G35! Handling is excellent. Very easy car to drive, with some fun gadgets. Gas mileage is fair 18-20 around town. There is not much knee room in the back, and not great cup holders, also, if you put tall cups in the shorter cup holders, reaching the gear shift is awkward The leather seats are quite comfortable - maybe not for larger indivduals due to the curving in of the seats.
Love my new EX35!!

Leased an EX35 Journey RWD Liquid Platinum/Graphite/Wood Trim with Premium, Nav, Luxe Style, Roof Rails, Cargo Area Protector and Cargo Organizer. I simply love the vehicle. Had purchased an '08 G35 sedan a month ago for my wife and was so impressed with it that my loaded '06 Honda Pilot EX-L V6 no longer cut it. Looked at the Acura RDX and the EX, and the EX just blew it away on ride, comfort, noise, build quality and luxury. I gave up a lot of room moving from the Pilot into the EX, but in reality, I am the only occupant 90+% of the time, and hardly ever use the back seats. Sure, no more futons from IKEA in the back, but the luxury, features, ride and sportiness more compensate.

I have reported to Infiniti a problem with making right turns. There is a grinding sound every time I turn right. I have taken to dealer twice and they don't have any solutions. They reported to Infiniti who has done nothing. I reported to Infiniti who has done nothing. Don't buy this car! I have only had the car two months! Wouldn't buy again.

I just traded my 2006 S2000 for a fully loaded EX35 and I have no regrets. This vehicle is perfect! The outside looks like a FX35/45 and G37's offspring and the interior is nothing short of luxury. If you are looking for a vehicle that can take your friends anywhere in style quickly and safely, get one of these!

After test driving numerous cars (BMW, MB, Audi, Volvo) I fell in love with everything about this car. The design is exceptional, in and out. The ride phenomenal. And it has plenty of power. It feels great riding a car that doesn't fit the mold of typical crossovers. Everybody does a double take when I drive by. I love it!

I surprised my wife with a Tidewater EX35 AWD Journey for our 25th anniversary. This crossover is wonderful. The seats are the most comfortable that I have ever experienced. I drive a Mini Cooper S daily, so the the "fun to drive" value of the EX35 doesn't quite match up for me but it is still an enjoyable driving experience. The gadgets are awesome. After test driving the suv/crossovers from BMW, Nissan, Lexus, and Ford, it was an easy choice to go with the Infiniti. For me the best part is having my wife feel like she's driving her "perfect car". After 2 months she still smiles when she gets in the drivers seat. Gas mileage is 18-20 mpg.

Fun to drive and quick on it's feet... this is a super vehicle!!! I went from a BMW X3 and the only thing I miss is the interior rear seat and luggage room... ONLY!! The worse thing is the 6000-k (3600- Miles) requirement for servicing where all other manufacturers are 8000-k (5000-M) is Infiniti inferior? BMW with Mobil-1 was 24000-Km.

THIS CAR IS A DREAM COME TRUE!! I must say I have read some reviews by people who were let down by the EX and its rear space. I guess I am not as picky since I had a mini cooper S before this vehicle. I wanted something a little bigger, with a touch of sport with a luxury feel. The car is very stylish and clean. I would pass up a BMW, or Mercedes anyday for an Infiniti. I think the price is very compariable to several vehicles out there that offer the same features. I may be biased since I have always been a fan of Infiniti. I love this vehicle.
I'm loving it!

I really think that Infiniti went over the edge when making the EX. I fell in love with this vehicle from the time I got into it. I had an option to either go with the BMW X5 or the Lexus RX 330 and hands down the Infiniti won. The ride is smoother and quieter as well. For me it worked out great. I'm single no kids, and love to travel. I had a fully loaded HHR, and had to trade it in after looking at this vehicle. All I have to say is keep up the good work Infiniti!
What a deal!

I just bought my EX35 a few hours ago after spending 3 weeks test driving EVERY comparably-priced luxury cross-over (Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Acura RDX). I also test drove the Honda CR-V for the practical side of me looking to save a bundle. All in all, I know I may not have the most "seasoned" review, but I can say that I do not have buyer's remorse in the slightest! I came out of a '01 Toyota Rav4, very dependable and practical for my needs at the time, so the EX35 was a steal (besides, my car was a total loss after a wreck and I needed new wheels)! I walked in, test drove an EX35 and loved the smooth ride and quiet interior almost immediately. The huge savings sweetened the deal!

On paper, this is a car from heaven for tech geeks: hard-drive rips and stores your CDs, flash card reader for music, voice activated phone and navigation, intelligent cruise control, lane-departure warning and prevention, 4-cam virtual overhead parking image, etc. Imagine having all that in your new car and then not being able to use it! Infiniti's legal department has *really* gone overboard in limiting what you can do with your tech if you are not stopped. Example: want to find a restaurant? you can only choose from the four nearest, even if 3 are behind you. Even the music system is restricted when you're driving. Insane. Really, really frustrating.
Extraordinary? Yet TBD.

My wife and I bought this car yesterday after doing a lot of research on the internet and shopping around for weeks. We have the AWD Journey model with premium and nav packages. The biggest surprise for me is how small a change in handling and aggressiveness it was from our 4-cylinder Camry. The EX does not feel aggressive at all, and the small turn radius keeps it from feeling like an unwieldy SUV. Supposedly it goes from 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, and the acceleration is there when you need it, but you wouldn't expect this if you aren't pushing it hard (unlike the BMW 1-series, which even at 10 mph lets you know it is ready to rocket you into space at any moment). But, we love how it drives!
Fantastic vehicle!

Love my EX AWD Journey w/all available packages. More comfort and convenience, and much better appearance, than X3 or MDX, better ride than FX. Exceptional comfort, performance, and sound system enable me to arrive at work, or at destination on business trip, energetic and not tired as was the case before having my EX. Limited rear seat leg room makes this more suited for 1-2 people; adults and tall teens will probably find rear seats too confining except around town.

I bought my new Infiniti EX35 5 days ago, and I love it!! My 01 Infiniti QX4 my parents got me had to go. I am a realtor so I put a lot of miles on cars. I love to drive my car to work everyday. I just get pumped up wherever I go. I hope to put around 300,000 miles on it when I am done. Whenever I go shopping someone tells me that sure is a nice car you have!

We traded a small, feel all the bumps, 2002 Audi TT for this dreamy car. As an older couple who enjoys/expects comfort and reliability from a car, the Infiniti EX35 is perfect for us. Luxurious inside, sturdy looking outside, lots of get up and go, and tons of "toys". We love cars, have had many, including BMW and Lexus, and this Infiniti is at the top of the list!

If you are considering a "crossover", you cannot leave this one off your list. After looking for about a month I went to Infiniti and from the first minute of the test drive I knew I had to buy!

Recommend for 2 seater not 5 seater because the rear seats leg room is quite tight otherwise great space for 3 children to sit and the cargo space is good, It is why I give it a 4 Star.

It is so luxurious!!! I love my new crossover. Thanks to the bad economy-- -I was able to get almost everything--- prem, nav and lux style package for 11K under MSRP!!! I wanted the G37 but had to go for EX35---It was a better deal. I have no regrets!!! I only had it three weeks and so far everything is great. I did take it back to have the roof rails replaced----the paint was scraped, but even that experience was great. The service department was nice and I had no problem waiting for my car.
Love it!

I love this car. I looked at Audi, BMW, and Lexus. None of their cars grabbed me like the EX. And after 5 months of ownership I know I made the right choice. It's a fun car to drive, and I have plenty of room for my needs (I didn't want a big gas guzzling SUV).

I've been driving Mercedes for many years. I wanted to buy an SUV, however hated the poor gas mileage. But I bought an EX 35 AWD anyway. Very surprising; it handles like a sedan, build quality like German cars, and the seats are very comfortable. I'm a happy guy!
Excellent Car and very fun to drive

My wife needed a new vehicle, and coming from a Nissan Xterra, she wanted a much smoother ride. So, onto the crossovers we looked. No vehicle had an edge there. It came down to comfort, space, and well, gadgets. Yes, the EX has the smallest room of all, but for us, perfect room, and had every feature we wanted-something no other had. 6'2" passenger had no problems sitting in the backseat. The cruise system is a must!!
Love the power, miss a few things

Been driving it since September. Love the horsepower-great passing ability. Had a mildewy odor problem with the cabin air filter. Took it to the dealer and they sprayed it but it still comes back occasionally. Overall, fun to drive. Only get 15-16 mpg highway/street combined but that's okay given the power (and no, I did not have a lead foot). AWD is awesome in the rain.
My EX 35 Journey

Fine car except when I first got this? It created a problem that took the dealership 3 days of back and forth to the shop to resolved and wouldn't have been taken care of had I not had the common sense to mention and insist on the shop mech thoroughly check all components; specially, the battery-- eventually they did at my behest and replaced the bad battery. So far as the vehicle is concerned, it's awesome. The 297 est. horsepower is more than enough to carry the car around even at higher level driving fully loaded. Had the car since Oct 2008 to present with the exception of limited backseat leg space, I cannot complain. I regret the fact that I opted out on the lane departure option.
Great to downsize!

Been driving an X5 for over 7 yrs and now the kids are grown and no more carpool I needed to downsize. This car is a little spitfire!! I can cruise on the freeway and pass quickly. Gotta be careful! It's quite a bit smaller than what I am used to driving but yeah, it took me the ride home from the dealer to accept it. Great car, rides like "buttah" and tons of fun. Just the back seat is small. Not horribly small but not for a long drive with adults. I plan on getting another EX when this lease is up. They can't improve too much on this baby. I'm having waaaaaay too much fun!

Fun to drive, comfortable yet the back seat is tight for 2 adults. Fair gas mileage 20 city and 30 highway, the car could use a 6th gear for better gas mileage. Comfortable seat for long trips
