Great SUV with Sports Car feel
The FX is a great SUV to drive. The performance and handling is excellent. The 3.5 liter V6 puts out as much power as a number of V8 engines. THe FX is a head turner. I have had people to follow me home just to ask what kind of car it is. I get tons of stares. While pumping gas people approach to take a close look. I do not regret purchasing the FX.

Awesome FX 35 AWD
I love this vehicle. I bought it last week. Man it is the collest thing ever. Super performance. Amazing handling. Big Fat tires. Kick A** stereo and gobs of fetaures. What is not to like. When I pull up people really check it out.
Gotta Luv It....
You can't help but love this car... If you are considering one then you owe yourself a test drive. I've had this car less than 24hours and I want to sneak out in the middle of the night and drive it. (The roads are less crowded)
Awesome Vehicle !!
Kills the BMW,ACURA, and LEXUS for that matter. I own a 1990 Porsche and this handles as well as my 911 and is as much fun to drive. Everyone, even strangers have stopped me to get inside and love the car.
AWESOME
It is a blast to drive, awesome performence, fells like a sports car. No body roll and when you take corners, you feel tight and really safe. Cargo space a little small but enough for our business. Many people just turn and look at it and smile or the OHH AHH face. Its just a quality vehicle, and is so much fun to drive. V6 gives more than enough power, the V8 was like a head-snapper a little too much power. (never said that before) Sports package has nice 20 inch rims and has aluminum roof rails. Its a awesome vehichle and love it!
Awesome
I have owned many vehicles during my lifetime, but hands down, this is the best ever. The looks, the functionality, everything is just awesome.
Supercars
awesome car, and it's worth every penny. not only is it fun to drive, it has great looks and has more power than the average SUV
Please read this, true facts by an owner
Just bought this car 7 months ago and it is very fun to drive. Very uncomfortable in the back when you have 3 adults. Getting out of the back seat is a challange. The space between the door frame and the seat is too narrow. Could be better. You can feel almost every bump on the road. The navigation stops working if there is a EZ Pass decale on the dash. The wheels are too big for the model to handle so the car pulls to one side or the other, even if there is a wheel alignment done. The gas mileages got worse even though the same grade of gas is added every time gas was needed and the car has not been serviced by anyone other than the dealership.
Pleased
Just own for 3 months but am pleased with all aspects. Prior positive experience with dealer.
the best suv on the planet
from the moment i get into the vehicle, start the engine, and engage the manual mode, i become a different person. the sound of the engine and exhaust, the sure-footedness into and out of turns, the pick up, the agility,the snapping of peoples' necks as you go by,are all the signs of the best and sexiest SUV on the planet.
Off and Running
It's three weeks since I drove my FX35 off the lot. I haven't regretted it for a minute. Great handling and speed. Tested the v-8 and couldn't justify the added expense for a second or two faster to 60MPH. Great looks. Great sounds. I have to use the cruise controls or I'm way over the limit. Nothings compares to it.
Nice
Stylish, with the performance and handeling of a BMW sedan
Next Generation SUV
I have found this vehicle to be outstanding. I have had it a month and have about 5k miles on it. The ride can a little rough at times, but it handles great. The Automatic cruise control work well in rural areas, but not well in busy areas. On a 3000 mile trip to florida, I only had two minor problems. One was the cruise control had too many bugs on it and malfunctioned and I had to reseat the nav dvd once. This is just a fun vehicle to drive. It handled the pounding rain without floating.
Infiniti FX35
What I love about the FX35 is the European-like steering for a Japanese automobile. This SUV is enjoyable to drive. I also like the unusual styling, and the Infiniti performance.
Roadster Review
I have been extremely pleased with the handling and peppiness of the vehicle. It's a real eye magnet and receives a majority of positive comments from both Men and Women as well as kids. I have taken many friends and clients for test drives, and they, too, love the speed and excelleration capabilities. And the looks of the vehicle speak for themself!
It's a honey
Bought it on impulse afte seeing it in the showroom -- am so glad I did. Love the feeling of driving it with the stereo cranked and on New England back roads. Ride is not 'couch smooth', but I didn't buy it for that -- it handles so well!! The only complaint I have is that there should be a bumper guard on top of the rear bumper -- it gets scratched getting items in and out of rear hatch area.
Exquisite Vehicle
I love the car... what more can you say... Always OOOH's and AHHHH's from bystanders...
RWD FX35 in B16
It really is a sports car disguised (labeled) as an SUV. From the 20" rims to the audible exhaust, I feel like I'm are driving a sportscar not an mid-size SUV. Add to that the small steering wheel and instrument cluster and wrap around bucket seat and it makes me feel like I'm in a much smaller car. With an abundance of power (FX45 has yet more) this vehicle is a great performing machine. Then cover it with a stylish modern body and you've got a real "head-turner". The engineering of this car is exemplary. Everything works smoothly and is designed for people who enjoy driving. I feel safe and secure in this sleeper.
FX35 after One Month
Bought the FX35 with the Technology pkg. This thing certainly draws attention. At stop lights, I am constantly getting honked by the driver in the next lane asking "how do you like that car.?" Acceleration is smooth and fast. On sharp corners, you'd think this was a sports car and not a SUV. No hint of instability. Haven't had this much fun taking curves since my 1979 RX7. Keyless entry/ignition is a blast. Seat/wheel/mirror position memnory is also nice. Only a few minor things to say. the rest is a respounding "Yesssss!"
FX 35
Great Car,smooth handling, tight acceleration, and extremely comfortable ride
Love My FX
Nice Tight Ride Great Handling Turns Heads everywere I go Love the look of the big wheels Minor problem with driver seat squeeking Too Many buttons between the radio and the climate control
Best performance SUV on the market
Just recently purchased one with the technology package. I LUV it! Performs like a sports car. The sound system is awesome. The leather interior is soft and comfortable. The car is at the top of its game. Thank You Infinity.
WOW! Driving is fun again!
With all of the luxury & safety features at a reasonable price...how can you go wrong? Peppy V-6, Awesome Bose sound system and handles like a sports car.
FX35 loaded with the FX45 options
Love the car - every part of it. Always drove an Infiniti - J30's and Q45 - so switching from a luxury sedan to a luxury cross over car was a good choice for me. Besides, I knew I wouldn't go wrong with the Infinit Family.
FX35 purchased over FX45
I went to the dealership thinking of the FX45, I usually go for the bigger engines when I buy a car. When I drove both I found the V8 a bit smoother but not really enough ooomph to spend the extra money. It seems like this vehicle was designed to be fitted with the 3.5 liter, handles great, is nimble for a vehicle that size. Anyhow this car is definitely a winner and can handle anything a city has to offer, traded in my BMW 330 and have never been happier!
Great Vehicle
It's fun to drive, and handles well! You get so much attention driving it!
This is really an oversize sportscar
I've had the FX 35 for 3 days and love it. The handeling is fantastic and the power is more than enough for anyone but a serious hot rodder. The styling gets a lot of admiring looks and the interior is comfortable and generally well laid out.
Never Thought
I own a BMW M3 which I plan to use as a second car. Before the FX I never thought I'd find something so versitile, functional, and with a healthy dose of that "fun to drive" quotient. Comfortable, smooth engine, and styling to die for inside and out. I have the black on graphite scheme, and it's one of the hottest cars on the road.
Happy as can be
I'm very particular and a very harsh critic of cars in general. Infinti has hit it right on the mark with the fx. I never though I would own, let alone love a Japanese car (Have always owned German cars). The combination of ultra modern design, high performance, implementation of new technology, general practicality and price make this a winner!! This car is everything the boring, overweight, over priced Porsche Cayenne should have been.
Day One
Today is my first day in my FX35 2wd. It is beautiful and fun, an eye catcher. I will give another review after a few months to give a more true review. I had a 2002 BMW 530 which was an absolute dream to drive. The FX, is a different dream, and a harder one at that: the road is felt at every bump. Yet, with that said, the FX is very comfortable to drive, just not smooth like the BMW sedan. I also owned the BMW X5, which is another dream to drive, but today prefer the FX. If you want a smooth surface ride, then the X5 may be your choice.
Fun to Drive
FX35 is fun to drive. It drives like a good sport sedan, not a typical SUV. I drove 4Runner, Explorer and Range Rover in the past - there is no comparison. FX35 combines the best of both worlds it has many advantages of SUV, except real off-road capabilities, along with the comfort of luxury sedans. Price is certainly an issue, however, if someone felt comfortable with spending $40K, I would suggest looking at FX35 before buying RX3XX, BMW3XX/X5, etc.
Completely dissatisfied
This purchase has been the worst car buying experience of my life. Lokey Infiniti has no problem selling the car, it is standing behind the product and fixing it is where they fall short. The sales manager was condescending and essentially tried to make us feel guilty about having our car fixed correctly. Car had scratch in paint, new back bumper, new back door,torn door gaskits. This is the first and last infiniti that I will ever purchase. I've had better experiences buying a Toyota. 4 trips to dealer in 6 weeks and it still rattles.
I'm in love with my car!!!!
If you're reading this and you don't own one of these, what are you waiting for! This car is everything I hoped it would be. If you're worried bout a harsh ride, drive a Lexus. If you want a "practical" sport vehicle, dis is da one baby!
My FX 35
Beautifully designed inside and out. Fast, fun and handles like a sports car with great amounts of passenger room but not as much storage in back - so what! Mileage is good with the 3.5 and acceleration from higher speeds is impressive.
Worth Every $$$
I love everything about this car! Tech. package is amazing, DVD kept my easily bored 2 year old son quiet and occupied for over 2 hours (that alone is worth the extra $9000). Love the looks, and attention this car gets! Sport package is right on, not too rough. Power is AMAZING!! Seats are some of the most comfortable and accomadating out there. All around great auto!!!
Awesome FX
This vehicle is the best thing I've ever driven and I can't tell you how many "jaw dropping" stairs I get when I cruise by with my FX35. Those 20's really catch their eyes. I can't wait to drive it everyday and the kids can't get enough of the Tech Package's DVD. It is now the most popular car in the family. The smooth exhast sounds so sweet it's music to my ears when I have the windows and sunroof open. I can't believe I own this precious gem. Just think, I once dreamed of owning an X5. I'm sure glad I woke up and bought the FX35!!
Nothing Else Compares
My wife & I just bought a new FX35 AWD w/Sports Package. We both were happy with the style, price, performance, & comfort of this vehicle. If you want a true cross-over SUV that's not too bulky, very luxurious, and handles like a sports car - buy the FX! The only SUV that our performs it is the new Porsche Cayenne that starts at $56K and ends at $90K. If you're like us, then you want style, performance, AND fuel economy. If you don't need the Titanic, then get the Infiniti FX35 OR FX45. It's worth it!
Be ready to carve up the curves
After recently picking up my FX35, all I have to say is WOW! I didn't imagine that they could make an SUV that handles like this. Since I have the sport package admittedly the ride is on the rough side but the handling is very composed and you turn the wheel and the car responds with no body roll.
I love my "Bionic Cheetah"!!!!
For all you people looking for something different in an SUV, look no further. The FX is your vehicle. Not your gaz guzzling big box type. This is a fun to drive sports car that has room for a family. I've got a wife and 2 kids that are in car seats and we get everyone with room to spare for one more. 0-60 in 7 seconds is pretty incredible for an SUV as well... And I love the styling
my early experience
as of July 31 I have driven about 1600 miles. Thus far the car has been more then I expected in terms of proforance. However, the road handling especally on the parkway has disappointed me. The car hydo planes when you hit a sewer or bumb at speeds over 50. I was told it's the AWD kicking in, Effortless in changing lanes, and passing is outstanding, parking (with the exception of poor rear view) is easy and again effortless.
Great Crossover SUV
The FX 35 continues to amaze me after each new driving day...handled great during the summer months and performs like a champion on the snow covered roads of western Pennsylvania. The Bose stereo, comfortable seats, incredible handling and plenty of room in the back seats for the kids make this suv a family favorite. Its definately a keeper...
Unbelivable
I have been searching around for a mid- size suv for about a year. I went to the lexus dealership and there was two cars that I liked one was a 2003 RX300 which i thought was great the other was the GS400. Then one of my friends told me about the infinti FX. I dident konw what it was untill I saw it. At first i dident konw what to think it has a crazy look to it. Then i test drove it and i bought it the next day. It has the power, handling, and acceleration as a high-end sports would have. Then its the mid-size suv I want so... how can I go wrong. I got the best of both worlds.
Awesome!
This car is absolutely awesome. We've had it for almost two weeks and we love it. It handles great and looks cool. My girlfriend loves the growl it makes when taking off from a stop sign. This truck/car/wagon/crossover (or whatever you want to call it) is the best auto on the market.
Excellent Auto...best SUV2 out there
Radio is top shelf, feature set is second to none. Exterior finish is immaculate and design also is outstanding. Interior gives massive space for 5 passengers with decent cargo room. Tech package is awesome even if you don't use the DVD. The Navigation system is the best I've ever seen, it's brilliant here in New England. LIDAR cruise control puts traditional cruise control to shame. This is an awesome vehicle, it's the best car I've ever owned or driven.
I just got it
Very good handling. More sport than anything else. Tight ride- not smoooth.Especially w/sport tuned suspension. Love dual exhaust- 20"rims
FX 35
A terrific handling SUV, corners like a porsche, great sonding vechicle gets lots of looks
Awesome Car
This car is awesome. It's fun to drive, (I mean _really_ fun to drive) and has a cutting-edge extremely cool design. Not since my Audi TT has a car generated this many points, stares, and questions. What's most important is that this car is fast, fun and safe to drive (the all-wheel- drive part). I wanted AWD but I couldn't see myself in an Audi Wagon (they call them Avants, but they're really station wagons). I've owned the following cars and I compare this car to them: 1) 2 Audi TT's (FWD and AWD) 2) Porsche Boxster 3) 2 Lexus GS300's 4) Infiniti FX35 AWD
The Rattler
This vehicle has been nothing but an inconvenience. 4 times to the dealership and they have yet to fix it. It is a shame because it could be a great car. Recall on hatch-back door and I still don't have fx35 emblem that goes on the back.
Great Ride
This is a great car/SUV! First of all, working with the Infiniti dealership was the best experience in car buying I've had; hats off to them. The car handles like a high-end sports sedan. Yes the ride is a bit abrupt on bumpy roads, but so is a BMW 5 series. The detail, and workmanship are the best I've seen; and this car really turns heads.
