We purchased our fx35 this year and love the car albeit we have had a few issues. The car is only a 2012 but has apparently been through several, rough, northern winters. It had a good deal of corrosion under the carriage but the dealership took good care of us and honored all warranties. We are happy.

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.

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.

Solid, capable...but not exceptional

Overall...like it. But, its really behind the times vis-a-vis technology and options. The motor, design, and fit and finish are all excellent. But, that teeny-tiny sunroof. Really? And the nav? Its horrible. I never, ever, ever use it. The ipod interface is horrendous. No cargo cover unless you pay for it? Cheap. Pay $45K+ for a vehicle and not get a cargo cover? Wow. The overall instrument panel is weak - same as in my previous G35. Boring. Zzzzzz. I don't know if the '13 improved these options or not, but I don't think so. You'd think with as great as this vehicle looks and drives that the attention to detail and available options would be better.

Blazing fast!

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.

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.

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.

Great FX even after 100K

After 5 1/2 years, my FX gone for 100k It still perform like new... I maintain by myself for syn oil change, fluids, spark plug and brake pads... it’s not practical car but perfect for my life style! I most drive by myself and some times haul stuff full of truck but always enough space with folding down rear seats. 360 surrounding camera is the best!! I tried BMW and even Porsche but Infinite is the best!! The engine and transmission is awesome and fun to drive!! Covering is excellent and body structure is firm and solid brake!! Even many years later, the exterior design and style is still nice!! One thing that the blind spot monitoring should be the standard.. I love this FX more than when I purchased!!!

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.
