Wow, after owning both sedans and sport utes (Grand Cherokee, Montero SR, Expedition, ML430, and Murano), I have finally found a vehicle that delivers on all counts. I almost found it with the Murano (great looks, mpg, handling), but the CVT did not give me the performance I was looking for. It was almost too smooth. I picked up an AWD FX35 right after that. My driving is a mix of daily commute, kid hauling, and weekend work. In addition, we had a cabin in the mountains that we were decorating. I added a hitch to the FX for bike, but it pulled a loaded trailer up gravel hills of the mountain with no issue at all. I also installed the XM radio (love how Infiniti lets you choose).
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.

I have had my FX for a year now. Love everything about it, except for how it drives with the optional 20 inch wheels. The ride is too hard for these big rims, and when you hit even the slightest pot hole it feels like you are going into the Grand Canyone. Other than that love the crossover!

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 no longer have any car-envy. I would rather drive this car than any car selling for less than $70k. It oozes style; it has bells and whistles that I never knew existed - but now can't live without (keyless entry/ignition); it's a hoot to drive - especially in corners; and is very comfortable. The ride is harsh, but what do you expect from the sport package? In my opinion chrome trim looks better than more expensive wood in other cars. The center arm rest in the 2003 model seems cheap, flimsy and out of place in such a nice car. Also, the similar Murano has more trays and cubbies for your gear. I almost went with the Murano for that reason but stuch with the FX for the style points.

This vehicle is amazing. I purchased with the Technology package - Navigation + Intelligent Key and Smart Cruise Control. Personally I think the navigation is a little clunky due to having to use a joystick as opposed to a touch screen. The Keyless Ignition and Laser Assisted cruise control are very cool. Mechanically the car performs amazingly. The only thing is I wish it were a little higher/more SUV like - just for the driving position. I was also a little hesitant on the styling - but it's growing on me more and more. It's one of those vehicles that you will over time keep finding more things that were well thought through by the designers.

This SUV has a Porsche Boxter-like exhaust note and corners absolutely flatly. 100 to 110 miles per hour feels like 70 in this vehicle. Very, very fun to drive.

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

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.

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.

Qualitywise, this is the best car I've ever owned. Three years old and not a bit of trouble or need to see the dealer: it;s bulletproof. My only beef concerns the poorly placed seat controls for driver and passenger (on the horizontal seating surface)which digs into your thigh. It has been repositioned on the 2006. Fun to drive,corners like it's on rails, and I got 21 mpg in 2 hours at 65 mph today.
Finally, a practical performance car

BMW has nothing on this car. My car has all the pick up one would ever need. Holds the road like glue. Great looks and fit and finish. Makes me proud. This Bose audio is the best car sound system that I've ever heard. The seats are comfortable. I find the car rides more like a German car, let's you feel the road. Almost bought the RX- 330--glad I didn't.

Bought it used in 2004 and it has been a true joy since. It is very spacious for four passengers. Not for five. Much sportier design than other crossovers, which seemed too much like minivans (the Mercedes) or station wagons (Ford, Audi). Gas consumption could be better, but I am averaging 18.8 with roughly 20% highway use and 80% city use. However, it is worth the extra power, especially with high octane gas. On a smooth open road (highway), it is an absolute dream. It is especially good for skiing (skis on the roof rack, passengers toasty on the inside, most comfortable ride I've taken to the mountains ever). Bought one for my dad, too!

I recently took delivery of my FX-35 RWD - Tech and Touring. I was not really in the market for a new vehicle but as I started seeing gas going up, I knew my 2004 Tahoe would never stop being thirsty. I got out with 2 days to spare! In all fairness, you really cannot compare the FX and the Tahoe. Each has it's benefits and shortfalls. However, if you are looking for sports car performace along with the versatility of an SUV give strong consideration to the FX. Fit and finish are A-1, on this vehicle as well as perfomance and handling. I am thrilled with this vehicle and enjoy it more each day. It is the first time in a number of years I have looked forward to driving somewhere.

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.

Saw the FX at the Car show in Miami Nov 2002. Fell in love with the styling interior and exterior, when I was told that they were going to have 300 + horsepower I was sold. Upon purchasing the FX35 AWD w/sports package it has lived up to all my expectations. It really handles like a sports car. Acceleration is swift and very smooth. The suspension is tight and responsive. The exterior styling is cutting edge, unique, aggressive and still classy. I think the packages offered were very well thought out. Braking is awsome!.... The 20" wheels are a true sign of the times and the maufaturer's attention to the market.

I have owned my FX for over 2 years. It has been a pleasent experience for the most part. I just had my first negative reaction on Dec. 10 2005 I went to visit a friend in a snow storm, he had a very steep driveway. My Infiniti got half way up his drive and then slipped all the way down backwards. (no injuries) He has a Range Rover. He came down his driveway and picked us up in his RR, went up the hill, no problem. The interior is also a bit tight. (not to much headroom) My wife claims it drives like a truck. Overall opinion, I like my FX but I must say, I will have to check out the competion for my next vehicle.

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.

I hate buying a new car. Dreading the idea of it, I had come to Infiniti to look at the G35 sedab when someone drove by with the FX35! I literally followed the car not just with my eyes; my whole body turned as it passed by. It was love at first sight. i never get this way about cars. It still excites me 3 years later when I see it parked on the street or one drives past. The design is daring...a bold departure from other vehicles of it's type.

We bought our FX after our Lincoln Town car burned up our house. We didn't know what we wanted, but were looking at the carmax lot. As we were about done, having not found anything we were interested in, I looked at the suv's and saw this FX. I had never seen one before and we thought it looked interesting. We test drove it and fell in love with it. This is a great vehicle. Lots of people inquire about it. We get lots of looks. It is a very unique vehicle and I enjoy it immensely. Drives great on the snow and ice as well!

WOW if your looking for an SUV that acts like a sports car, than give this bad boy a test drive. Thats right the room of an SUV (mid sized) and the feel of a sports cars. This is not the slushy riding mid sized SUV that were all too familiar with these days. The V6 is smooth and strong with a great exhaust note. The interior is in a word great and the exterior styling is out of this world. Infiniti has I my opinion produced a great crossover.

My initial attraction to this car was for the design characteristics...but since I've owned it..I have come to appreciate the great usability. The FX has everything that I've looked for in a car. ..Tight ride, great suspension, comfortable interior appointments, sports car look and feel.. and cargo space. This package neatly ties all of it into one.

Over all so far I have no complaints about the car what so ever. At this point I would recomend buying one to family and friends RG

High Points: Great handling, highly versatile, fun to drive, unique styling and exhaust note. Low Points: electronic bugs (Sunroof opens/closes on its own, automatic steering wheel tilt/seat slide when you insert the key in ignition doesn't work occasionally), poor gas mileage, lots of rattle inside. But I forget about these when I open 'er up and go head-to-head with sports cars.

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.

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.

This car continues to perform as well as when I first purchased it, and it was superb then. I have the 18 inch wheels and RWD. At 6'4" and 250 lbs, the space and comfort has been great. I do alot of highway driving and have averaged 23 mpg since it was purchased. Have followed the regularly scheduled maintenance at dealer and the car just keeps on going. I also get it detailed every two weeks and the finish still looks new. Driving any distance is very comfortable in this car. The dealer pays attention to all the details and has always provided great service. I'll get another FX35 someday, but this one is still going strong.

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!"

Huge fan of the car. Looked for a year and could just not find anything I had to have. When I saw this at the car show I feel in love. Once I drove it I knew I wanted to own it. In the end it came down to this and the X5. I am so glad I chose this. Parked next to an X5 in a parking lot yesterday. the design is outdated. The FX35 design is so new and exciting. Everytime I come out to my car their are people looking at it. I watch heads turn as I drive down the road. I LOVE THIS CAR

Been a sports car person all my life and I went in for the G-35 Coupe and came out with a RWD FX-35 with everything but the Tech-pack for less that the G-35. This car rides sweet! I have pushed it to all its limits and it has never failed to impress!! You completely forget that you are in an SUV as this car truly thinks it is a sports sedan on steriods. It holds up to Infiniti's claim of Bionic Cheetah. My only regret is that I didn't get the FX-45.

As powerful and sporty as it is attractive. I dare you to test drive it w/o buying it. It's a gorgeous car that gets the kind of head turning and parking lot salivation that is usually reserved for the superbrands (Aston Martin, Ferrari -- I'm not kidding). It has a beautiful power growl when launching from stoplights and onto highways. I find myself making up new errands to run just so I can hop in for a ride.

LOVE IT! Had an Expedition, Explore, and though the Denali was the tops until I drove the FX35. People wave, stop and stare, ask for rides or to see it. Gave my husband the 2002 G35 and took over the FX. No more locking keys in the car or backing into things now with the backup camera! Don't like to be co- pilot as passenger seat is too low and non adjustable. Most fun of all cars I have driven, including cadillac, in 40 years.

This is a great car with BAD BRAKES. I had to have a brake job at 20K!!!! $300. I've talked with 4 other owners that have had similar problems. The dealer had the nerve to say I was 'riding' the brakes. Inifiti customer service says it's normal wear and tear and thety won't do anything. Infiniti, if you're listening I want my brake job paid for.

We got the sport model with the 20" wheels. I love the ride. Handles great. Though, it is clearly slower than the 200 lb lighter RWD only version. I couldn't pass on the AWD. I thought the price was totally fair compared to the prices of competitors vehicles. Stereo rocks! Build quality is fabulous.
Test drove this weekend!

I have never gotten so many looks ever! ~ I live in North Dallas where every other car is luxury and they all blend together, even the porsche's and jag's and mercedes'. They're a dime a dozen, but this car gets those drivers staring! They wish they could go back and change their mind. This car has some pep. Drove it at 120 MPH on the Tollway (don't tell the troopers!) and it felt smoothe. Ride is a little bumpy w/ the 20" wheels but it's a necessary evil for such a great ride, and great look! I wouldn't change a thing EXCEPT GAS mileage. Yikes. 12 mpg when you really gas it everywhere you go. I guess I should have been lighter on the pedal.
