Used 2004 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
Still Happy
After five years (bought it new) I still love this car. I haven't had any mechanical problems at all (knock on wood). It performs like it did when I first brought it home. I don't know of any car owners, with the exception of Lexus, who can say the same about the same car performance and reliability. If and when this car dies, then I will consider buying another one.
Very nice but needs improvements
Love this car after 13,000 miles but had to buy new tires to improve the ride recommend bfg's or toyo's and the 18" rims over 20". The 20" look hot but ride way to stiff. The pluses; great handling, power, and looks. The negatives; XM stereo goes out too often, no rear washer with wiper, no rear hatch window, seat bottoms need better padding, side mirrors create blind spots, 17 mpg with premium, bose stereo does not playe mp3,cdr,cdrw discs, no jack input for ipod on stereo, headrests need improvement, quality of stock tires, blind spots.

just okay
should not listed as a luxury. Not smooth as it should be, bumpy. I should have kept my lexus RX 300.
A SPORTS CAR WITH A VIEW
If you want sports car performance and still have the ability to see around all the suv's and vans out there, the FX should be your choice. Don't waste money on the FX45 which was my original intent, the 35 w/touring and techno pkg is the way to go. Less unsprung weight w/18 vs 20" wheels, 94 fewer lbs with only 35 fewer ponies is the way to go. There is also a comfort advantage. I love this animal.
Too much noise
The FX is a fun car to drive because it handles beautifully. However, I quickly grew disappointed with the vehicle because the leather squeaks and the vehicle is not very "tight." I found little rattles here and there, which grew very annoying over time. Unless this doesn't bother you, stay away from an FX.
LOVE THIS CAR
GREAT CAR, GREAT LOOKS, GREAT RIDE. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A LEXUS (QUIETER), ACURA MDX (ROOMIER AND MORE USER FRIENDLY NAVI)BUT THIS OVERALL IS THE BEST. THE TECH PACKAGE IS AMAZING...LASER CRUISE, CAMERA IN NAVI FOR BACKING UP, STEPTRONIC AUTOMATIC, ADJUSTABLE HEADLIGHTS AND MORE. SAT RADIO IS A MUST...THE ONLY OPTION NOT NEEDED IS SPORTS PACKAGE..THE 18" WHEELS ARE QUIETER AND SOFTER THAN THE 20" HAVE FUN !!
I Like it Too Much
After looking at the Lexus and Acura MDX, I happened on the Infinity FX35. I really didn't like the looks of it at first and didn't want to drive it but tried it anyway. I fell in love with it and bought one the next day. I have had it for 6 months and it is truly a dream car. We took it to the Rocky Mountains and it was amazing. This car is a winner! Only problem is it has a few blind spots due to the radically sloping back end. Trunk space is also limited. Other than than it is a 5 star!
Unhappy Owner
We have the rear wheel drive sports pkg and cannot wait to get rid of it! It jerks all over the place, knobs/switches not in good locations, stiff suspension, tight steering, poor traction in snow, etc, etc, etc. We will never own another Infiniti/Nissan again. We will stick with Lexus/Toyota in the future.
Powerful SUV
Lots of features, fun to drive, powerful engine, exellent price.
Best SUV
Terrific vehicle. I researched every one and this was best under $60k. More sports car than SUV. Looks are subjective, you either love or hate it. Exhaust sound is unrivaled in the industry. This SUV is fast and handles great. Would easily buy again and upgrade to V8 if I had the $$$. Only complaint is Navigation system which is inferior to Acura and Lexus.
