Porsche, Mercedes and BMW killer!

Im 2 weeks in to my 2011 FX35. I bout it with 80k miles and it still has a new car smell. Upon first impression, It simply carries the WOW factor for me. Ive driven the X5, X6, ML350, G500, Audi Q5, Q7 Lexus RX350 and Porsche Cayenne S and found THIS to be the car for me. Handling is a bit stiff, but youde expect that from a true "Sport" Utility. This car is big and Its heavy but youll never feel it from behind the wheel. The Tech Package is a great investment if you live in a cramped city with tight spots and double parkers. The performance, handling, and comfort is simply a pleasure. I look forward to my commute every morning as an excuse to drive. Overall impression, GET ONE!!! Theyre awsome!!! Simply put, a sports car on steroids. :)

We have had a number of Fx 35s the one we traded for the 2011 had 120 K miles on it. The 2008 was a great vehicle with unbelievable reliability and quality, the 2011 is new with low mileage but it's already proving to be a better vehicle.

Repeat customer, my second FX

Overall I really like this SUV. It handles well, corners well and has ample power. This is my second FX. I had the first one for almost 8 years and no issues. I've had the current one coming up on 5 years, and again no issues. It's a good size for me as I didn't want anything larger. It feels stable. Also, my husband who is 6'5" is very comfortable and has plenty of head room.

Fun to drive, but...

Performance, comfort, reliability, design - all great. However, it is the luxury items that disappoint. First, the cooled seats are very hit or miss. Some days I can really feel the cooling, other days, in only a dri-fit shirt and shorts - can't feel a thing. The navigation - while it looks great, Infiniti has done a poor job in translating the data into the GPS system. I have had many addresses, some in major towns, others in minor, not show up. And what good is a GPS system when you already know where you are going? Finally, the Bluetooth is average, at best. I constantly get comments from people that they can barely hear or understand me. Love the ride, not so much the "luxury"

We're 3 years into our 2011 FX35. This is our 2nd one. Our 2006 FX35 was so dependable, we were compelled to get another, and have not been disappointed. Just turned 64K miles and it still runs, smells, and looks like new! No mechanical issues to speak of. Easy to maintain. Love the 20 inch wheels. This thing just runs, and runs. I'm going to keep this one at least 10 more years! Smooth, FAST, and Luxurious! One of the best vehicles on the planet! Update 7/14/20 - STILL LOVE THIS VEHICLE! STILL AMAZING!!!

Very fun to drive. Sometimes dull while driving at 50-60 mph. This car is good at driving fast, 70 or above. Acceleration is good. Braking is good. Cornering is nice. Infiniti should consider the cargo space. Not roomy. Lane departure warning is nice, but sometimes does not recognize the lane on the road. We can expect the improvement in the future. Rain sensing wiper, auto headlamps are very convenient, yet no day- light driving lamp.

Every time I see her it puts a smile on my face..! The car has plenty of oomph and all I have had to do is normal oil changes and rear shocks but hey 140k miles and it gets to -40 here so I can except that. Never failed me, gets me through every winter as others have veered off the road and had a few people asking about it. Drives great..! Sound system rocks - luv it luv it Now had car for a few years and still has not failed to impress me. Smile still there. :)

Great Ride, but needs a couple tweaks

I picked up my FX the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and have just over 1000 miles on it. The seats are extremely comfortable, the ride is great, it is very quiet, but a couple things bother me. Compared to my 2007 Acura MDX (my other vehicle) the voice recognition system is clumsy, especially when it comes to making phone calls. The other thing that bothers me, and this may be petty, is that the center arm rest is too short. I always drive with my left arm on the arm rest. With the arm rest being a bit short or too far back, my elbow rests wrong and it is a bit uncomfortable. Other than that that, I really like the truck.

I stepped up from Audi Allroad. Allroad was good car, 70 mph cruising was nice. When I drive FX50 at 70, I feel boring. Kick the gas pedal and driving 80-90, yes, this car is much better. Stopping, cornering, nice. I feel very comfortable all the time.

got the 2011 fx35 for 50 grand. The color is nice, interior is nice, the could have included wood trim, the wheels look small 18" of course, could've made 20", wanted me to waste 3000 more grand for them. The car has amazing pe rformance, plus it's very fun to drive. The 11 speaker Bose system is okay, it works great in the front, but i wonder if the rear back speakers aren't supposed to work loud. The seats are comfy. The passenger has on 8 way instead of 10. Passenger has no lumbar support whatsoever. There is no 6 cd changer. No rain sensing wipers. The ride is smooth, with nice exhaust noise from the back. I dont know if the car has active head restraints with adaptive front headlights.

Great suv! Very fast, great handling, braking and I’m enjoying the ride comfort. There’s not a lot of room for storage or rear passengers but that’s not why you buy 50xS. You buy it because of the 390 hp/ 369 ft lbs of torque. The transmission is a little confused at times but other than that everything about this car is awesome. And pretty much moddable.

Fx 35 AWD mid nigh mocha fully loaded

Have the car for one week so far, read lots of review before settle for the Fx, was interest in BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, but decide on the infiniti for best bang for the buck. Not disappointed, the big tires are awesome, and the grunt of the engine along with the power it deliver makes me anxious in a good way. The car just lurch forward. If I don't mindful, would be speeding any time. Glendale Infiniti around my house provide excellent service, they dig out the color for me while some dealer ask me to comprise. They also give me a good interest rate and did not quote a high price to negotiate so I did not have to waste time negotiating. I check price around several dealerships.

UNBELIEVABLE

I test drove 2003-2006 fx35, they felt really big. First thing I’ve noticed when driving the 2011 fx35 was that it didn’t feel like a big car AT ALL but rather a small sedan. The interior feels luxurious but not to the point that you have to be so careful. I had a 03 350z, this 2011 fx35 despite being so much bigger and heavier drives exactly like a 350z, Mini Cooper or Miata, it is literally unbelievable to step out of the car and realize how big it actually is. You really don’t need the v8, that v6 after 3 months still put such a smile on my face. I find stupid excuses to just go for a test drive or just sit in the car. Amazing sound system too. I will keep this car till I have to replace the engine, transmission, and give it to my kids. I will keep this car till the chassis falls off and is irreparable

My 2011 fx has 47k miles, this suv has been very dependable over the years, I love my fx35! Made in Japan vehicles are the best overall, doors are well aligned, paint looks great, no oil leaks, craftsmanship is excellent. Overall it is a very well built vehicle, I plan to drive my fx35 for a very long time.
