Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Terrific handling, strong V6, unusual styling, comfortable seats, choice of rear-drive and AWD configurations.
Cons
- Limited cargo space, restricted rear visibility, cluttered center stack controls.
What’s new
The FX35 is an all-new crossover SUV from Infiniti. It is performance-oriented, and boasts a powerful V6, sharp handling and available all-wheel drive. It's also a less expensive alternative to the V8-powered FX45.
Edmunds says
A stylish melding of form and function. More than just a tall station wagon, the FX35 has several unique features to recommend it to the pseudo-SUV buyer.

Comparison to Murano
4.75 out of 5 starscomparison shopper, 02/25/2004
2003 INFINITI FX35 Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I compared the Nissan Murano and the
Infiniti FX. The Murano is front-wheel
drive with significant torque steer, a
tranversely mounted engine, and a CVT.
The FX Std is rear-wheel drive with a
longitudinally mounted engine, and
automatic with auxillary 5-gear
manual. The CVT was smooth but the
FX's automatic was too. The Murano
provides manual Sport and Low gears
and … the FX has a 5-gear manual. The FX
handles like a sports car while the
Murano wallows on curves. Inside, the
FX dash is cleaner than the confusing
array in the Murano.

2003 INFINITI FX35 Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
My FX35 has more rattles than any vehicle I have owned (which include Acura, Audi, Volvo, Honda etc). Every week there is something annoying - rattle of the week. Problems with driver seat which the dealer can't fix. Problem with alignment of the headlight which dealer can't fix. Busted stereo and CD player. Problem with rear-seat belt. When I take the car through a carwash, water leaks … in. The paint on this vehicle is paper thin - slightest nick and it chips off and rusts in less than few weeks. The vehicle is a pain to maintain. Repeated brake problems. Very stiff ride. The build and mechanical quality is bad enough that this will be my last Infinity. And city fuel economy of 16mp!!
No regrets

2003 INFINITI FX35 Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Purchased used Sport edition with 26K miles and have overall been very satisfied at 53K. More or less a full-size wagon, it is fun to drive with decent cargo space. Was a little concerned since 2003 was first model year, but only issue has been one fuse replacement that was not really expensive to address. CD player has become jammed, but mostly use ipod and satellite radio. Have … only used regular fuel, but acceleration has been solid. Although now seven years old, exterior styling is timeless (which I think is better than 09 body style change). Would definitely recommend to anyone dealing with dual child seats and does not want or need huge SUV or minivan.
130,000 miles near flawless!

2003 INFINITI FX35 Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Bought CPO in 08 w 40K mi. I have always averaged 35-45K/yr. Usually switch cars every 6 mos-2 yrs.
Have had difficulty finding cause with this car. Squeaking brakes have been a constant issue. My cd changer skips when it's cold $500 for rebuild and xm loses signal when it's hot.
Those are the only problems I have had.
Period. I've owned ford gm toy niss Honda Audi BMW vw & Porsche, the … FX has been the most pleasant overall.
Performance & handing are great.
Service beats all others. Nav is better than 07 Audi or BMW. Also ave mixed 21 mpg and 25+ at 80mph.
