Used 2005 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
FX35
if you buy the sport and tech package you can't ask for anything more in a car and it DOES handle the curves like a dream. I've taken a sharp curve at 70 and never felt a shake or shutter, just hugged the road like a dream. You don't have blind spots with the camera either. It's all in what you're willing to settle for. I checked out the Lexus and their complete package could not provide as much for the money as I got in my Infinity.
Good, but...
Handles very well. Ride is a bit rough. Very well designed,engineered, and built. Gets a lot of looks. With about 17000 miles I haven't had any problem, except for a serious issue with the driver's power seat controls, which are poorly positioned on the right horizontal surface of the seat and press on the right thigh. Never noticed this in the 3 test drives I took (one lasting 45 minutes).Friends in service dept at dealer tell me "off the record" this is definitely a problem pattern, but nothing can---or will---be done to correct it. Too bad they wont bite the bullet and do the right thing.

I'm Impressed
I went to the dealership to look at used Q45's, and drove out in a new FX35. I know, a very different car than what I was looking at, but I was impressed the first time I drove it. Spacious enough for what I need, head turning styling and all the power you'll need in a car. Very fast and handles like a 300Z. The dealership was great too, look forward to buying more from them in the future.

I love this SUV. It is fast, handles like a dream, goes thru snow like it wasn't there. The Bose surround sound is outstanding. Unfortunately you have to use premium gas for the hi performance engine and it rides rough because of the short wheel base.
My 3rd SUV...Better than the X3
Bought the car used (20,000 miles) in an "As New" condition...I wanted the space of the SUV/SAV cofiguration w/o the traditional truck chassis and inherent ride issues. I am truly amazed a the success of the "crossover" concept. The FX35 handles extremely well. While not quite the equal of my BMW 3 series coupe, it's acually very CLOSE! The seats and creature comforts are superior in evry respect.Great Car! I paid $27,000...saved almost $14,000.
