This is our second FX. Our first was a 2008 and we loved it! Fast, comfortable great handling and sounded great. The lease ran out so we got a 2012. Mistake. Infinity replaced the 5 speed transmission with a cheap 7 speed transmission. It robs power, is confused, shifts up and down at random and delays during quick acceleration (like when you need to pass a car). The manual function is very dangerous. When down shifting, the transmission disengages and the car free-falls for a full second until the transmission re-engages. Also, after 6 months there will be a foul smell from the AC upon start up. The dealer will recommend turning off the AC for a few secs every time you park. Really?
Love my FX

I've had my FX for about 2 years and I have about 30,000 miles on it. Overall I really like the car and I can't think of anything seriously wrong with it. I have the premium and deluxe touring package and I love the quilted leather and the 20 inch wheels. The navigation in my opinion works very well but I find it really annoying that its almost unusable when you're driving and I hate using voice commands. I think this car is good for someone who doesn't always have people in the car or need a lot of cargo room. The backseat space and trunk is descent but not great but it works perfectly for me. I also like that there's not a ton of them around so they're not so commonplace.

Our 4th Infiniti. Has 6000 trouble free miles.Replaces an '03 FX35 AWD that was trouble free for 115,000 miles. I rate the '03 as an A+ car, and the '12 as a B-. Handles well. Even with 7 spd trans, the mpg is exactly the same as '03: 19.6. Fit/finish in and out has suffered. The '12 noticeably cheaper throughout: floor mats, carpet, headliner, center armrest,wheel/tire size,chrome exhaust finishers. Car feels smaller than '03. Fold out door pockets eliminated. Adjustable center armrest eliminated. Throaty exhaust note eliminated. Dash design has gone down. Multi adjust seats very good,comfortable. Tech package very capable. A very fine car ('03) has been very noticeably cheapened '12.
Beautiful car, a few issues

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.

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.
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!!!
Best sleeper suv. A whole lot of power 💪

This was my first vehicle and still own it a year later. The 390 hp v8 and the awd makes it such a fun car to drive. And a great in the Michigan winters! The reliability has been okay for the most part not as great as it should be because I do beat on it.

The 3.5 l V6 provides ample power —whether it is accelerating or pulling a trailer —I have a great picture of my blueFX with a canoe on it pulling a camper trailer. Yes I have had a couple issues—eaten CD’s causing replacement of center console but other than that I could not have been happier

Bought our 2012 FX35 in 2015 with about 44,000 miles on it. It now has 218,000 and still keeps performing. No issues. Would definitely buy another Infinity

I owned mine from day 1, and this vehicle has been extremely reliable. At 100K miles, I had to replace the front wheel bearings, but this was due to me running 22'' wheels during the summer months for the majority of its life. Besides that, there have been no other issues so far. I change the oil every 5K miles with synthetic and think that this last year the VQ35 was made was the most reliable and stout version.
