Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Dynamic styling, carlike reflexes, roomy interior, long list of standard features, strong V6.

Cons

No real off-road ability, minimal cargo room, unusual styling won't please everyone.

What’s new

All models receive minor suspension revisions, an air filtration system and an eight-way power front passenger seat. New options include chrome plating for the 20-inch wheels and a snow mode for added traction in slippery conditions.

Edmunds says

A stylish melding of form and function, the FX35 offers carlike handling and all-weather capability in a package that will never be mistaken for your average Explorer.

Good Value and Cost of Ownership

Paul Harney, 06/27/2009

2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

The 2004 FX-35 has severed me well over the 83,000 miles I have put on it over nearly five years. It has survived two idiots hitting it from behind, requiring only cosmetic repairs. Even now, after years of wear and tear, it holds the road very well for its shape [SUV] and higher center of gravity. The engine and power train still deliver its 280+ hp when called upon. Highway travel …

Redefines the meaning of an SUV

2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Great sporty versatile vehicle, I owned a bmw z3 convertible roadster and in comparison to that this handles great, Bose sound system sounds like a club in the car, nice power from the motor roomy interior, car has 220k miles and car still runs like new.... Issues with it is the dash bubbles, front leather seats break down literally, mpg is 18 mostly highway but overall I love it, his a …

Best car I've ever owned

Jim, 01/24/2010

2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I've owned by FX35 for 5 years now and have zero problems. I do maintain it and Infinity service ain't cheap, but its still quick, tight and the biggest problem is a small split in the drivers seat from my fat rear. My OEM tires lasted 78K miles, the snow feature got me through the recent DC blizzard, it handles like it'll little brother (Nissan 350Z). The stereo still rocks with a …

Factory Design Flaws

BernieT, 03/12/2004

2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Beware if you are a bigger person, say over 250 pounds. The front seats have power controls on top side of seat. Hard plastic trim stabs into the side of your leg like a knife. Also, there is a design flaw in the gas tank intake. Most gas pumps that pump gas quickly will kick off before the tank is completely full. Something about how the fumes build up. I have the …
