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
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.

I have loved my FX. It's sporty and super capable. My problem is with their build quality and customer service. Infiniti used sub par material on their dashes and they bubble in the heat. It looks terrible, like a rash on the whole dashboard. Infiniti replaced it once 3 years ago. It was a recall but my service rep said he was doing it as a favor (and suggested his favorite brand of whiskey, which I unwittingly bought him as thanks). When this same problem occurred again 3 years later Infiniti says that it's no longer under warranty even though the warranty on the dash was changed to 8 years (and this one is only 3 years old). I can't stand to look at it now. DO NOT BUY INFINITI.

Nearing 5 year anniversary and 99,000 miles... time to call it quits. High cost to maintain. Great power, and handling but a rough ride. Good snow handling after replacing factory tires at 17k. Poor turning radius. Exhaust noise is tiring on the ears. Poor instrument layout AND function, lots of cheap plastic and rattles, frustrating air controls. Entire dash panel "Blistered" badly due to defective mfg or materials... no dealer or manufacturer support for this issue. Even with close maintenance, car is falling apart mechanically. Wheel bearings failed right off the lot, complete exhaust system rotted, and front end and steering shot. Will not buy Infiniti again. Price outruns reliability.

Acceleration is adequate; AWD tends to "hold it back." Gas mileage after 1000 plus miles is averaging 14 MPG, which is disappointing. Hopefully, it will improve. Two-tone willow and black (leather seats)interior is simple, modern, and attractive, especially with titanium accents. Seats are comfortable, and storage is excellent. Unfortunately, there is too much vibrating (almost rattling)inside the car from the console and storage compartments especially. The 20 inch wheels give the FX an awesome look. Doors should have reflectors and carpeting on the lower part to prevent scuffing. Overall, I am satisfied, but time will tell.
