Used 2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
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.
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!

I am still impressed with the quality and performance of this vehicle. While citi mileage could be better, on highways I am getting 23-24 mpg driving 65 to 70 mph. It is overall an extremely well balanced car and should retain high re-sell value. A few improvements could make this great car into the perfect car.
Incredible Vehicle
With just short of 50,000 miles on the odometer, the FX has been nothing but a thrill to own and drive. The power from the V-6 is enough to snap your neck, the interior is gorgeous in every way and the design of the exterior is still a category leader. Great engine, strong transmission and the AWD is amazing. The Bose system is great and the interior layout has been well thought out. Paint and fit are top quality.
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.
