Disappointed

I bought this car in June with high expectations. I have been sorely disappointed. Most recently (with 1800 miles on the car) the battery died. The seat warmers also did not work. When they were "fixed" the heat was so low that I could often not even tell the warmers were on. The storage space is really limited and the gas mileage is worse than expected. Infiniti is also a pain to deal with--even as my car was in the shop with problems, Infiniti was more focused on selling me another car than solving my issues. What I like is the styling, engine power and cool features like the rear facing camera. But I really had much higher expectations for this car. Not recommended.

I love my SUR. I say this because it has great utility and drives and handles like a roadster. Quick, tight, and fun to drive. Because it is small and like a roadster it lacks some back seat room for passengers. Though I didn't buy it for that purpose, we have figured out how to accommodate and it really hasn't turned out to be a significant issue. MPG (21/27) is another disappointment for a small car but this is the price you pay for the power and that sporty feeling. I love the car, better than most any other I have owned. I strongly would recommend the EX35.

When my lease was up on the BMW 325i I was interested in something slightly larger with more amenities. I considered the X3 but the price difference for a similarly equipped BMW was roughly 13k so opted for the more elegantly-styled EX35 and cannot be happier. I average 22mpg in heavy city/hills driving so that's not bad given the 305hp V6 performance. Fit and finish is as good as my BMW and having hands-free bluetooth, leather interior, power seats w/ memory, etc. included underscores the point over the $13k difference in the German counterparts. Infiniti has built a great urban-sized crossover with superb styling, performance and features.

What a great hatchback/wagon/crossover... not sure what to call it. I came from a G35 into this new machine. What a difference! The amenities and features of this car are great. Performance is great when you need it to go, it hauls. Brakes are great as well. It's my daily commuter 80 miles RT, about 65% hwy (75-85mph) and the rest backroad driving at 45-60mph getting 22.5 mpg. For the amount of performance and my semi-hard driving style this is a definite upgrade from my 06 G. Back seat space is not as terrible as you think, drove from NJ to Boston with 3 adults and comfort was not an issue. Great fold down feature for seats, my dog LOVES this car as much as I do. I would recommend to anyone.
Nice Crossover

Bought it new in 12/08... it's great for wife and I since kids are long gone. We have the back seats down all the time to get enough room for the trips to Costco. The hill in front of our NJ house was awful this winter... snow, snow, ice, ice and more snow. The EX was terrific getting us up the hill to Panera's for breakfast. List price was $40.8K, bought it for $30.5K with no Infiniti financing. $10.3K off the list! Bernie at Ramsey Infiniti was a good guy to work with. So far the MPG is around 19... not bad/not great. We bought the black exterior with the brown interior... good choice. Our family has owned 10 Infinitis from the old slow auto G20's to the new EX. 4 yr/ 60K warranty is great.
