@004 FX35with sport suspension
I thoroughly enjoy this vehicle-It is fun to drive !Apparently some suspension adjustments made,so that ride is not harsh-It is firm,buthat gives it sports car feel-Dealership has been quite helpful with my questions. I do suggest you test drive the FX35
It is a dream car.
I own a FX 35 4WD with technology, sport and entertainment package. I actually never driven FX45 but what I see from the V6 from FX35 is more than enough for any power hungry drivers out there. Dashboard design is very elegant, I love the navigation system. I thought I would never use it but it became one of my most favorite tools of this vehicle. If you get the tech package it also includes keyless entry and engine startup. which is a nice perk to have but I really don’t see much use of it. Rear camera is also useful if you parallel park otherwise I do not see much use of it.P.S. I paid 43,500.

Liquid Copper 2003 FX35
We love this car. We have a basic Chevy Suburban, and 2 active pre-teen boys. We wanted something big enough for all of us, yet stylish. There is so much room in the back seat, that a man 6'2" can sit back there comfortably. We also got the liquid copper color, cool color, very different than the usualy colors you see on the road. Be careful with your speeds, you don't realize how fast your going until you look at the speedometer. It's a verys smooth ride. We've only had it about 2 months, and we're glad we did.
Expedition to Fx Crossover
After owning a Ford Expedition, I wanted to keep some of the SUV utility while improving handling and performance. The FX-35 is a great crossover vehicle. It has excellant acceleration and handling while still giving good load carring utility - all in a unique styling package!
great car-suv- station-wagon whatever
All around it is a great car my wife purchased one and she loves it.
Liquid Copper is the only way to go
After owning many different cars (both domestic and import) I can honestly say this is the most fun to drive out of all of them. If you're looking for attention, make sure you get the Sport pkg (20 inch rims) and the Liquid Copper color. It's extremely solid in design and feel. I have only two complaints, the first is the poor gas mileage, the second is the price of the Technology pkg ($4300). I wanted the Navigation system, but was unwilling to pay that much for it. Overall, a great auto
AWESOME!
Very nice. Lots of power form V6, extremely responsive. Good turning radius. Lots of fun to drive. Head turns everyday. Very good quality, and it is just a beautiful car.
FX-35 - check it out
Rides like a sports car. If you havn't test driven one, you are missing a great experience.
Love my FX35
I have had this car for 2 weeks and I am very pleased. It rides beautifully, not too high up but high enough to feel like I own the road. Lots of pick up, love the vroom sound when accelerating. A real head turner, everyone wants to know about the car. Very comfortable, the controls are well placed, great sound system, bright headlights, lots of car for the money. Gas mileage is not good, and it needs premium, but I can overlook this because otherwise, the car is perfect!
off the hook
The fx35 which i purchase has the sport and tech package. only a owner for two week, i have had great pleasure.I am 6'4" getting in and out of this car is a breeze when the steering wheel and seat automatily move.This car has the driver at mind. I enjoy every feature about it.
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).
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.
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.
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.
One month has passed
I've had my Fx for 1 month now and it just keeps getting better. The Sport ride does not bother me a bit. The handling is great and the smile factor increases everyday. I went from a 2001 BMW 530 Sport to this vehicle and the FX is more fun. Great sound system and super exterior,it's everthing that I hoped for. A combination of performance and utility at a great price!
LOVE this car/SUV!!!!
I have had my FX for just at a year now and I still love it! Its a great vehicle with real "personality". I had several Explorers before my FX and I can tell you this car has style!! Sounds great too!! For someone wanting more than just an SUV to drive, who wants sporty handling too!!
A great car
Our previous car was a chevrolet tahoe.large and powerful,but the size was not needed due to older children. The fx35 V-6 has all the power one could want.The gps system is an asset to finding almost any address, or point of interest.The cruise control is so sensitive, with auto braking, you almost don't have to drive the car.It's a fresh and fun change from most all other cars.
fx35 2003
an excellent car in any condition.
What do I think about the Infiniti FX35?
I love the car. It took me 6 weeks of research to finally go out and purchase this vehicle. Its a 2004 FX35 and its plain beautiful. The car looks lively and it makes me look at my life differently. No doubt, I consider myself lucky to have come across such a car that brings both fun and thrill in to my life.
LOVEMYINFINITI
To tell you that I'm crazy about my 45FX, is to tell you that I also own a MB CL500..... and the CL stays in the garage! FX handles, drives and sits the way you imagine the Porsche Cayanne would.... at trade in time I'll just get another FX!
Close to perfect
I love the power and handling. The ride on poor roads is harsher than I expected but given the handling, I can live with it. The seats may be the most comfortable I have ever had in a car
Fun to Drive SUV
This is an SUV that handles like a sports car. This is not an SUV that floats down the road since you will feel every bump in the road but it's a acceptable trade off to get great handling. Not as much space as in many SUV's but it's another trade off to achieve great styling. I love everything about the car including the sports tuned exhaust system.
2003 FX 35 AWD
My wife and I took the FX on a 400mile round trip to Tucson and we averaged 21mpg doing 75mph most of the time. The comfort of the seat was so good I could have drove some more. the car handles really well with little road noise. And the looks we got driving through Tombstone, AZ were too funny.
Men In Black
Bought it a month ago and loving it. All options + chrome wheels + XM Rad. It's beautiful and so much fun to drive. Just what I am looking for.

Powerful SUV
Lots of features, fun to drive, powerful engine, exellent price.
great car as long it was driving
My FX35 broke down about 20 day's after purchase,with the computer locking the transmission in 3rd gear.The vehicle is now altogether 17 day's in repair,waiting on a new Transmission.Part's seem difficult to get by.
Awesome
This is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Before purchasing I also test drove the Lexus RX330, there is no comparison. The FX is every bit as luxurious as the Lexus but light years ahead in terms of performance.
Nice. Solid. Powerful. Different.
The FX is not for everyone. The tight ride is the tradeoff for excellent handling from this vehicle, which is different from every other SUV out there. My FX is more luxurious than I expected- but I would not trade any of these luxuries, except maybe the auto trans for a 6 speed manual, and 4 doors for 2! The performance is better than most SUV's out there, and many cars too, but I am only averaging around 17 MPG. I originally wanted a sports car, but needed some more space, and all wheel drive for snow. The FX with Sport, Touring and Tech fits MY bill nicely.
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.
fx
As my wife calls it "it's a BAD BOY" but she loves it.
WoW - Finally a car with excitement
Incredible package from Infiniti. We've had it for 6 months and it is still exciting. No quality issues whatsoever. Build quality is great. Seats are incredibly comfortable (esp like the rear tilt seating - although I've never been back there due to the fact that I want to drive). Handling is phenomenal and the engine, while not overly powerful, is just right. Purchased w/o the sports package since the ride is already perfectly firm. Bose stereo is awesome. Nice job Infiniti! It was the only "family car" my wife fell in love with instantly. A perfect 10 except for the gas mileage.
Go Go FX35
If you want a crossover SUV with amazing handling, great acceleration, and the feel of safeness like your house, the FX is the way to go.It's sleek design will make you the center of attention.From expierience, you feel like a celebrity; driving down the highway and everyone's head is turned as you unknowingly fly by them with the unrealizable acceleration.
Electronics & features
The electronics are unpredictable at times. things such as memory seat are eratic. the Nav system could be simplified. the rear view TV for backup is very good except when the bright sunlight makes screen unreadable.The location of certain controls could be better thought out.The smart cruise control is very good and makes highway driving a pleasure.Great engine and transmission. some maintance alerts anoying on Nav screen.
Nice car
The car handles like the sports car. Awsome growl when throttle is applied. Overall its a tight package, that compiles SUV, sports car, and muscle into 1 family friendly package. Really would be nice to see a more potent and breathtaking second generation put into production, some time before 2010.
Cool,Classy,and Comfortable
I've bought my infiniti fX35 less than a month ago and it has, thus far, lived up to all of my expectations. This vehicle's exterior gives you a sense of sophistication and class mixed with a sporty youthfullness. It bears a very spacious interior wraped in leather. Finally, the FX35 carries the presence of a SUV but drives and handles like a car, reason being it has the same engine block as the G35.
Pretty Good FX
I have owned the car for almost a year and it has been pretty good. No major problems,just a whole lot of rattles and a couple of recalls. I don't know why everyone raves about foreign cars,this is my second Infiniti and they are both worse than any American car I have ever owned.
One year and going strong
I've now had this car for one year and just completed the 30K service. Love it! It's been the most fun car to drive. Even better than my wife's BMW Z-3. Turns heads everytime. Everyone loves the 20" wheels.
New Owner
Never having purchased a new car, I was a bit apprehensive. However, my new FX 35 has put me at ease. Without a doubt, this is the best car I have ever owned. The controls are laid out perfectly without the unnecessary buttons many cars have. The handling is outstanding.
Its a blast
Just moved to Canada from Scotland, and ownership of 2002 Audi A4. My wife wanted an SUV, but I wanted a Sport Sedan. After looking around what was on the market, the FX35 appealed to us both. It has most of the practicality of an SUV, whilst being a hoot to drive. We went for the standard Canadian model ( equipt with the premium pack), but this still has most of the toys I want. The interior is smart, though the quality of all the materials is not as good as an Audi. All in all we both love it.
It looks different, which is good!
Recent purchase, did not need 4 x 4, but liked the idea of AWD. Too many Lexus SUV's on the road, I liked the bold design and luxury appointments. Have Tech package, which is great! Lot's of power, lots of looks :)
Great Ride
Love it. Great ride, awesome sound system and the interior is not only comfortable but luxurious as well.
The Ads Are Right
This car is great! It attracts attention everywhere I go. I've actually returned to my car in a parking lot and found a crowd admiring it. When I see it from a distance, I'm reminded of its size...its big, but drives like a little sports car.
One Sweet Car
We looked at every car in this class and were leaning towards the Lexus. After driving both the Lexus and the Infinity several times it became clear that the FX is far and away the superior car in it's class. Now that we've purchased our FX we love every minute in it. The special features packed into this car are to numerous to list, but it's been a true joy getting to know and understand each one of them.
Infiniti
This SUV Rules. I own 12 infinits already but this one is my favorite. The features are awesome and the care rules. this it the hotest and sexiest suv on the road.
A sports car and SUV in one
Just bought a brand new 2004 FX-35 with Technology Package. It is not a car, neither it is an SUV. It is something in the middle. It proves that by its versatile handling and manuvering capabilities (may only apply to AWD). THe center of gravity is kept low to provide stability and you can feel it. Engine roars when you push the pedal (unlike Lexus you can hear the engine roar in the cabin). Technology Package is a must have.
FX35 2 year Review
Good solid performance; good design. Mileage is poor (17 mpg @ best highway). . .
Best vehicle I ever drove/owned
This is the vehicle for people who hate to drive or love to drtve. I normally hate to drive, but, find myself making trips just to get into it and DRIVE!
Great Car
Love the looks handles great in the mountains and on very windy roads.
Simply the Best
When you have a convertible and the wife says that we need a new car and yours is just too small, Look out! The deal was that I had to buy a car that had AWD for the snow, and somewhere to put the dog (not that we have one yet). It also had to be large enough to move the plethora of things from storage. Ok that's what the wife wanted. I wanted a sports car. Something that really let you know you were driving. Guess what? The only real sports car that fulfilled my wife's demands and my deisres was the Inifiniti. All the reviews and hype about the FX-35 were spot on. If you like the styling you will love everything else.
