Used 2003 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
My FX35 Ownership
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.
fun car

Luv it...most of the time
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.
My FX35 One of the 1st in SF bayarea
I have selected this vehicle, as it is 1st real performance crossover under $40K. It has unique exterior design that turns heads every time I drive. Performance is excellent for V6 except for lack of fast automatic response of the transmission during passing. Manual shifting works well. Interior is well laid out, but has very little storage up front and no coin holder.
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.
