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.

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!
Awesome FX
The best vehicle I have ever owned, and have owned several. The look is fierce and a head-turner! The vehicle handles well and merging into traffic is well......not a problem. ;-) More and more women are buying them, at first I thought it was a little too masculine, but quickly got over it! A proud (female) owner.
great car-suv- station-wagon whatever
All around it is a great car my wife purchased one and she loves it.
Love this car!
Excellent SUV/Crossover. Very comfortable seating. Fun to drive. Great handling and feel. Luxurious (I added wood paneling). Love it!
bsbaroo

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.
mikers fx35
fun to drive, didtinctive, well built, envy of many friends, plenty of power, great sound system, one of the first cars in a lonf time i know i wont tire of.
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).
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.
New Owner
Recently purchased this fine specimen. Wanted one from first site. The FX35 is eye-catching and fun to drive. Plenty of power. It really hugs the road, unlike other SUVs. Definitely a vehicle for paved streets. The interior is very classy! But, then again so is the exterior!!!
Infiniti FX - Perfection
Elegance is actually an understatement when one comes to describe this vehicle. Breathtakingly beautiful, very high quality.
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.
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). . .
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!
Awesome combination
This car is amazing. I have only had it a week, but am very impressed. I knew how good it looked, but now I appreciate how it drives. Very fun to drive in all types of road/traffic conditions. I am very happy with my purchase.
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!!
fx35 2003
an excellent car in any condition.
Still deciding...
I bought this vehicle FX35--Sport and Touring pkgs. in January of 2005--just before the Blizzard of '05 hit New England, so I had an immediate opportunity to test the snow setting (new in '04 models). I could tell the engineers had done their homework right away. The problem was the All-Season factory shiipped tires. They're no good in snow and only satisfactory on dry pavement in my opinion. You figure if they packed higher quality tires it would be that much harder to keep the starting sticker below 35,000. The interior is nice, not overly impressive, but nice. The audo is good.
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.
It couldn't be more fun
Although the ride is somewhat stiff (like a sports car?) the driving experiance has been a real treat. I have driven sports car that don't handle this well. Add to this that I have the storage space of a SUV. It does tend to attract looks but I have gotten use to that with time. I haven't found anything I really dislike about the vehicle other than the fact I was too cheap to get the GPS. Fit and finish was also perfect. Don't expect to get great milage out the 20" tires.
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.
Sporty with Class
Love it! This automobile is my all time favorite. Former Realtor, currently marketing rep. for a local company, this car delivers on every level. I've driven many people around in this car and all are amazed at the comfort, style, power and performance.
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.
Here's your "Zoom Zoom"
Earlier this year, I traded in my 2004 Lexus RX330 for my FX35 after reviewing everything I could get my hands and mouse on. I don't regret the move. Every morning when I start up the FX, I thank myself. The growl of the six cylinder is a nice morning greeting. The Lexus RX330 made driving a non-event. If you want to ride a pillow to work, get the Lexus. If you want an all-out perfromance SUV that gets attention from other drivers (and cops), get the FX35. The FX35 hugs the curves, blurs the scenery and makes driving a sport. It is an atypical SUV with respect to performance but it does everything I need it to do: haul the kids, haul stuff from Home Depot, and haul you-know-what.
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.
Great SUV
After six months of daily use and a coast-coast trip under my belt, I can say the FX is going to be with me for a while. Regular unleaded is fine, and I'm getting 21-22 on the highway and about 16-17 city driving. Power is great. Joy to drive this daily and for long trips. Handles great in high winds and heavy rain. What it is not: a no-bump ride. It has a sport suspension and you will feel some bumps but this is much smoother than my last sporty car. I won't knock the seat bubbling because the new G seats are much less comfortable than this FX and it is not noticeable to me. Bose system is good, but not great. Fun fun fun.
right pedal=smile on face
An absolute joy to rive. Even more fun with the technology package which feature the latest in automotive gadgets. Child in rear with DVD and headphones on cannot hear music at fairly loud levels. A FUN and sport car with a backpack!
Amazing machine
The FX35 is a amazing machine. Words cannot describe the FX35. Speed, comfort and build quality is just astounding. It also looks like it will eat you with it's aggressive styling. When you sit inside you feel all safe for some reason, it feels sturdy unlike other Japanese cars. It doesn't feel like your average car, makes you feel, well... rich??
A Very Happy Owner
I bought my 2004 FX35 with 50000 miles and the car drives like a dream. I spent a lot of time researching this car before I bought it, and I don't regret it. I took my FX on a 300 mile road trip, avg mpg was 21.9 with premium (92 octane) fuel. The FX is a lot of fun to drive. I don't have a problem with rear visibility as some have mentioned. Front seats hug the occupants and make driving the FX a lot of fun.
FX35
I've owned my FX35 for 2 1/2 years now. No major problems. Fun to drive and love the feel of it. Very roomy in the front and back although cargo space is a little limited - though that can be corrected by folding down the back seats.
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!
'04 FX35 AWD
We've had our '04 FX35 AWD for 3 years and we couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, due to growing family, we'll be selling it soon, but we have nothing but great things to say about it. The car currently has 74K miles (50K of those driven by my wife) and we've had 0 problems with it. It still looks as fresh as the day we bought it and we'll miss it dearly.
Great Car
Love the looks handles great in the mountains and on very windy roads.
FX35
When I first saw the exterior of the car I liked it a lot and when I sat down in the driving seat, at the dealer, I really like the car. And when I test drove the car I decided to buy it. And I love to drive it. Is very comfortable and I like the way that drives, a lot of power and luxury style. I planning to get another one for my wife too.
Love my 2004 Infinity
I went looking a newer model SUV and the dealership just happen to have my FX35 in the shop fixing the back windows. I love the height (getting in and out). However, there seems to be a recall on the Seatbelt for the passenger side. I received this almost a year ago. I called the dealership twice and they still don't have the parts in. The seatbelt like is constantly flashing which is nerve racking. Has anyone else received a recall notice for this issue? I did have to have the front seat upholstered because I cannot stand cracked leather. The car looks new inside. The 6 CD player only plays 2, always has since I bought the truck. I just deal with it. I do not however have a navigation system that most are speaking of. How did this happen? Once I get the seatbelts fixed, I will enjoy my ride again :-)

FX-35 An overlooked SUV
When my wife decided she wanted an SUV I was hoping she would go for this one. She likes it as much as I do. We recently took a trip and averaged over 24 mpg which is the best we have ever gotten. We average slightly over 20 city/highway 99% of the time. I wish we had opted for the navigation system but it was an ugodly 4,000 more. On a car costing 40K you think it would be included. And the front seats are one piece and bubble up in the center depending on the outside temps. They have since put a pleat down the middle which took care of that problem.
FX
est vehicle I ever owned.
V6 is enough
If you want an all wheel drive vehicle that is fun to drive , pleasant to look at , is unique and well built the FX35 is your vehicle. It corners better than m0st sport sedans, it zero to sixty time of 7.3 seconds is better than most suv V8s and all other V6s. It can be a little bumpy on rough roads as it is more tuned for performance but still is so fun to drive. You can have it all.
High maintenance costs
The car is fun to drive but the build quality is poor. In the last year I have replaced both front bearings (luckily covered under warranty) and just got a $1000 bill to fix my front seat. I have owned 16 cars in my life and the front seat has never broken on any of them. The seat heaters failed (I am not repairing) and they said the seat track is broken and the part alone is $700. The car is cool, watch out for maintenance costs.
Best of the bunch
I buy way to many cars/SUV'S, but I can say I may have found the perfect balance. This CUV is as fun to drive as my A4 Cabrio, with a load more power. Handles really well! Havn't driven the Chyanne, but I've got to believe the FX is close. I've now owned an RX300, XC90 T6 and the Touareg and the FX blows them away. All had good points, but the FX is by far the best combo of power, handleing and plush. The ride is a little rough going slow on a bumpy road, but I can take that for all it has!
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.
thnaks mom
Awsome for a first car my parents picked right
one beautiful car
this is the most dramatic and advanced design i've seen in a new car in years. just seeing it in the driveway or parking lot is a real pleasure. It drives like an airplane and handles very tautly. accelerates like a rocket ship
Too much fun
I love this car. Surprising handling and acceleration. It is a performance sports car. Laser cruise control is amazing. Nav system and sound system are perfect. Infiiniti service lives up to their reputation.
cool car
excellent body design !
