Used 2004 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
The Perfect Automobile
The Infiniti FX-35 isd the perfect compromise of styling, comfort, handling,performance, quick acceleration, all weather capabilty, room for 5-----Incredibly well designed, for my taste---- I had a POrsche Cayanne--this is much more enjoyable, more comfortable,just a pleasure to won.
Will never buy another Infiniti
I bought my 04 FX35 new and my front seat bubbled up. Had the seat cover replaced and the bubble happened again. Dealer refuse to fix it and Infiniti denied my request to have it fix. This car looks great but quality is terrible. My first Nissan/Infiniti product and will be my last.

Expensive to Maintain
At 15,000 miles tires gone and brakes needed replacing. Dealership charges $350 for 15,000 check-up, over $1000 for four new tires, and I don't have a number yet for brakes. But at 15,000 miles (and less than one year) I will have spent over $3000 on upkeep. While FX35 is fun to drive and jazzy looking, I'm retired and drive very conservatively. This car is unaffordable for me and I would not buy another one.
Love the gadgets!
I love the technology and gadgets in the car - the most for the money. Very fun to drive. For this much $$, I don't understand why the suspension is so rough?? Highway driving is like you're in a Mack truck. You feel every crack in the road and bounce around like a bobble-head.
Ride too harsh
Don't buy this car with the sports package you will feel every single bump EVEN the white lane stripes when you cross over them! The ride is way too harsh and not at all "sporting" and after a short time it gets old. The interior of the car is nice with good seats and this does somewhat offset the exterior design which some call a frog with wheels. Now I know why there are RX330's all over the place.
Great SUV for the money!
Upgraded the tires to BFGoodrich KDWNT GForce 285/60/18 bigger tire looks great improves ride & handling PLEASE DO GET THE WHEELS PROPERLY ALIGNED ON THIS CAR DO NOT TRUST THE DEALER TO DO A GOOD JOB WITH AN ALIGNMENT! Went to top wheel alignment specialist showed me the dealer only aligned the front and not the back wheels. WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE RIDE AND HANDLING!
Disappointed
I have owned 3 Lexus and 2 BMW and now,I owned a FX-35 for the past 9 months. I have the tires re-balance twice trying to get a smoother ride. I enjoyed riding the car on the highway,but the ride is not to Lexus or BMW standards. Also the workmanship of the interior is not the same quality of a Lexus the carpet and leather is chea. Last week I sold the FX-35 and brought a Lexus RX-330,and I very happy with my purchase,and comfortable overall ride
Terrible ride
Never had such a terible, bone-rattling drive in my life. My wife refuses to get in the car.
Luv My FX35
I was a bit concerned initially about purchasing an SUV. I was going from a Mustang convertible to a truck. Okay, so this isn't exactly a truck . . . it really is a sports car. A sports car on steroids. Completely responsive, fast and incredibly comfortable. Just came back from two, back-to-back trips of over 350 miles each. Wouldn't have done that in my Mustang. My butt would still be numb! The FX35 is truly a wonderful driving experience!
Great car, BUT!!
I love this car. It's nice, fast, and fully loaded. BUT, buyer beware---These cars have a notorious "rattle" when starting the car, and it CAN'T be fixed; I know because I've spent thousands trying. This rattle is a problem with all Infiniti & Nissan vehicles that use this same motor. It makes your ride sound like total garbage. AND, the seats fall apart. They used a very poor quality piece along the edges of the seats that literally fall apart, and will cost you about $300 to fix, per seat. AND, the trim on the outside looks horrible after a few years; about $500 per door to fix ($2k total). AND the brakes have issues that can't be fixed.
