Used 2004 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
great compromise, must drive it
Needed bigger car for family, did not want or need a huge suv. Looked at all crossover suvs for 4 months, test drove them all (Touareg, Cayenne, SRX, MDX, RX330 and XC90. Key decision factors: 1) reliability, 2) performance/drivability, 3) size and 4) price. Narrowed it down to MDX, Touareg and FX. FX won: better reliability and fun to drive. Handles as well as any BMW or Merc sedan I have owned. Plenty of power. Was put off a little by funky style (looks like I'm trying too hard) but its driving performance sold me. Touareg was close runner up but horror stories re problems and VW service kept me away (see clubtouare g.com).
Fun Car, but at times a little too bumpy
I contemplated hard on getting this car - I may regret it slightly - though it is very fun. Got a good deal, paid only $300 over invoice ($38300) incl. Tech&Tour Pkg in Beryllium. Alone the ride is awesome: fast and fun. Not too comfy on semi- bumpy roads around town-there is where I regret buying the car. I would have wanted a little smoother ride with the same power - oh well. With CA gas prices the fuel economy stinks (I am not getting the 17mpg in the city that Infiniti claims) but I know I have a powerful engine so I don't mind that so much.

Great drive, and will sh__ & get....
I love it, paid for it in cash and love driving it!! It will get a way from you though because of it's power..... Great BUY!!!
A head turner
This car is hot. Handles like a sports car with the 20 inch wheels. Rides a little stiff, but a small price to pay for great handling. Sufficient hauling space but not great. Traded an MDX for this because of size and styling. Liquid copper color with chrome wheels turns heads. Lots of good features. Dash controls a little cluttered and take some time to get used to. Priced well against the competition.
Perfect SUV
This vehicle in my opinion is sleek, luxuriuos, well engineered and more then a pleasure to drive. Smooth is the word to describe excelleration, cornering and the eleven speaker Bose sound system is unlike anything that I have heard come from a manufacturer. If you in the market for a mid size SUV you should spend the time to test drive this vehicle.
