Used 2009 INFINITI EX35 Consumer Reviews
Fun Time
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
Gadget Freak's Delight
This car is simply amazing. It's got pretty much any possible gadget you could think of (with the exception of maybe rain-sensing wipers). The around-view camera makes parking in tight spots a breeze, and the acceleration is breath taking. I did a lot of research and test drives of competitors and this one is simply the best. Lexus and BMW can't come close on the gadget end, and if you don't need all the cargo room for an SUV but want to occassionally have the rear seats folded for longer objects, this is the perfect crossover. The rear leg room is definitely tight (and you may need to even push up the front seats a bit to get the back seats down) but I rarely have passengers anyway.

So fun to drive
I would not consider the EX35 as a crossover but a small station wagon rocket. It's so much fun to drive, however there's a few things I would have like to see: less wind noise, more back seat room, easier control (it takes you a week to figure out how everything works. Get rid of the LDW (lane change warning) that you have to switch off each time you start the car. I would also work on quality and get rid of rattles in dash, add foldable mirrors and change some of the plastics that looks cheap. The seats are a little short and could be more comfortable. I wish that the camera would work not only in reverse.
Infiniti EX Journey AWD
Had had about four Saabs previously and was going to get a Saab convertible, when it was suggested that I try the new EX. I thought it would be too big (I don't like SUVs). When I saw it, I knew instantly, it was a car I would like, and would buy instead of lease.
Love the car, but it has warts
I have owned the EX35 for 18 months. It has 12k miles on it. Have had no significant service issues with the car. I like the overall driving experience of the car. Handles like a sports sedan vs an SUV. Looks are subjective, but it has grown on me. The car has developed annoying interior squeaks and rattles, dealer cannot locate them. The car gets HORRIBLE mileage, like avg of 16.5. I've never cracked 20 mpg in 18 months. With the cost of premium fuel this is a serious deficiency of the car - IMHO. It's NOT due to my driving style. Had I known of this mileage issue I would not have purchased the EX35. Sorry Infiniti - I like it - I don't love it.
