Used 2003 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Recalls & Reliability Issues
I bought my FX35 brand new in May '03 and it currently has only 58000 miles on it. With the car came a number of recalls, more trips to the dealer than I can count, and recently a $2000 rack and pinion steering failure and repair (no longer under warranty!). While the service rep was good, I know it's just the start of more and bigger problems to come. My only alternative is to get rid of the car. I don't intend to sound dramatic about this, but I will never purchase another Infiniti. My overall experience was unexpectedly poor and my experpience with the Infiniti Consumer Affairs office was even worse.
FX35 - Everything I expected and more!
This car is absolutely awesome! I feel the ride is very comfortable. Not too harsh - although I have 18" wheels, not 20"'s. This car handles great! It is so extremely tight on the road. I wanted a sports car but needed the utility capability at certain times - this is definitely fits the bill!

New FX35
The FX35 is a pleasure to drive to say the least. It combines the best parts of a sports car and a wagon/small SUV. The biggest issue that I have with the vehicle is the number of problems I have had in a relatively short time. The initial build quality is not up to par with Lexus and BMW, I hope that the long-term reliability fairs better.
maybe next year
I had great expectation for my SPORT UV. Besides being a rougher than expected ride (18" tires), dealers test drive area did not reveal the bone jarring suspension. In addition, who designed the front seats? Why would they put the seat electronics on top of the seating surface with out any cushion to protect your leg. Currently, I drive while seated on a 2 inch thick towel. My $40,000 investment is a waste. As soon as I can afford to get out of my lease, I am. Stellar customer service Infiniti is supposed to be known for is BS. My dealer pestered us about the new car survey at closing, by mail & by phone
A Fun Way to Drive
This is the most enjoyable car that I have owned or leased. Handling is great and it has sufficient guts to move right along. (It would more fun it were offered with a stick) There have been no maintenance issues at all, the dealership is wonderful to deal with with loaner cars readily available when I have service which has always been minimal. The DVD player is great for my granchildren (especially with the headphones). I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. This auto is leased and my daughter's boyfriend is buying it at the end of the lease next month. I am leasing a new FX35 because I enjoyed ths one so much.
