Having owend this SUV for a short time, I am amazed at the way it feels and drives. I was considering Volvo XC 90, VW Touareg, M-B M-Class, and the BMX X-5. The FX was the best looking, best handling, and feels like a sports car, not a "family car".

Excellent styling, reliability, handling. If you like driving, like sporty cars but hate the fact that these cars can go under rigs, and do not need lots of cargo room, this is a good option. Drove rx330, MDX (no German or Sweedish SUVs because of lousy reliability) - and the FX won by a mile.

Ok where to start? Adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, ikey.. The list goes on! I felt like I stole this beauty at the price I paid. This was a former Infiniti lease, that i picked up. It has 29k for the miles. Its 3.5l 280hp rwd is like driving a Z car, but with soo much more room. Sure it has Bose sound, but I enjoy the engine more! All I have to say is if you haven't driven this vehicle, you are truly missing out.
Wow, A Brave Car to Build

I'm just turning in a 2 year old FX and wanted to share a comment or two. This will be a great used car. Reliabilty has been OUTSTANDING. The quality of the leather doesn't quite match the Lexus I've owned, but, in every other respect, the mechanical quality has been great, and, this is a hoot to drive. Style cramps the trunk a bit, but, it is a distinctive design among all the look-alikes. Gas economy was 16-18 mpg: not great, but, this car is very, very, fast. I know Infiniti has made a few minor improvements, but, the electronics on the car are also best in class. This has been a very good experience.

I love this car. Period. Has no trunk but I knew that when I got it. Let alone sport suspension, standard suspension is bumpy - but if you test drive, easy to see that. I average 19 MPG combined city+highway. Highway actually close to 25 so I am not complaining - it is higher than I expected. Sole grumpy point is that you can't play MP3s in the CD drive. Why why why?!!!
FX35... a total dream.

2005 FX35 non-sport, technology package. Non-sport chosen for a more comfortable ride (18" wheels vs. 20" wheels and stiffer suspension). With spitited driving, 20 MPG in summer & 17 in winter. Compared to my previous Subaru Outbacks, the performance of the FX's AWD is good, but not great. When driving HWY speeds on a sporatically snow covered HWY, the back end of the FX started to slip out. Being used to AWD systems, I didn't over-correct and I immediately felt the FX's AWD system spinning wheels to make the proper adjustments. Still, I didn't expect that loss of traction on a flat, straight HWY. I've since put a set of Blizzaks on and I've experienced quite an improvement in traction

Having been a 240Z enthusiast years ago, the FX reminds me of that driving experience. The cam comes on strong at 3000rpm; third gear is the true workhorse. This is a vehicle one can drive like a church lady on Sunday, or really let it go. I've left several friends breathless when jumping on the throttle. They didn't expect such performance... especially those with the Lexus RX series vehicles. Everything about the vehicle is great. Styling, handling, build quality, comfort, intelligent cruise control, too many other things to identify. I've had SUV's, BMW's, probably more than 30 different vehicles. Hands down, the Z car and the FX have been my two favorite vehicles!

The FX delivers a unique blend of luxury, sportiness, gutsy performance, and utility. It has outstanding, bold styling that seems to be normally reserved only for prototype show cars. The FX is simply the best vehicle that I've ever owned and I love driving it.

It is simply the best looking and performing Crossover SUV for the money that I could find. I test drove everything in the price range/ model years. Nothing American was even close. Runners up were the Porsche Cayenne (too expensive, but awesome) and the BMW X5 3.0 (underpowered and a bit rough riding) The FX35 has great acceleration and really moves out on the freeway. Handling is amazing... feels like a sports sedan. SAFETY features, AWD and NAV system make this a real smart cruiser. Everything within arms reach inside. AND the EXTERIOR... well, everything else seems ugly now. Biased opinion I suppose.

After a year in an unreliable German piece of overrated junk, I am satisfied. The engine is thrashy and unrefined when floored, but otherwise pulls like a torquey electric motor. The ride is as bouncy as my old sports car, but not as flat-handling. All features are a compromise, (not a sports car; not a minivan) but it's the best sportwagon out there.

I love driving this car....it has a fun growl, great handling, good speed and pick up on the on/off ramps. It turns very well and is just a beautiful car. My only dislikes is that when I try to turn it on sometimes, it does not come on. I have to turn off the auto lights, the air and the radio in order for it to come on. It is a new car, so not sure why that is happening. Overall, two thumbs up on this Infiniti winner! If your thinking about it....I say go Buy it!

I have now owned this vehicle for 13,000 miles and don't regret one of them! Over the Thanksgiving Holiday I drove from southern Louisiana to Chicago in 14 1/2 hours with no residual road pain. I then drove the same route back on the following Sunday. I then packed the vehicle and moved to California with a side trip to Colorado to ski. Another wonderful trip however it was a little slick in the mountains west of Denver as these tires are not made for snow, deep snow at that on Interstate 70. The ride and steering are responsive, the engine has loads of low-end torque, the Bose sound system is fantastic, and I love the looks from other drivers wishing they owned it. I will have own another!

I have had my AWD FX35 for one year now and have had no problems whatsoever with it. I did replace the tires with what were on it from Kumho to Goodyear Fortera which I am very pleased with providing a stable ride on wet and dry pavement. It has tons of storage in the liftback. I love all the bells and whistles. I would highly recommend this car.
I wish it were mine.

When I was 22, I bought my first car. It was a 1987 Ford Mustang GT. I tricked it out with extra H.P. and handling accessories. I thought I was the coolest guy around. Then we bought a 2004 FX35, to replace my wife's car. I wish it were mine. Not only does it equal the 'stangs performance, it is so much more refined, it makes the GT look silly. I can't say enough. I try to run out of milk so I can take those evening jaunts to the store. The 2.5 mile ride usually takes 20 minutes, and there are no stop signs! Someday I'll get my own. Peace.

What can I say. Power, good looks, fun to drive, & reliable who could ask for more? This Infiniti is an excellent vehicle. My wife couldn't stand the design at first but now drives it more than I do. Plenty of power when needed. Fuel mileage is good for an SUV I get about 15-17 in the city and 21-23 on the hwy. Ride is a bit bumpy but it is to be expected for a more sporty ride. I handle and take curves better then my 98 Q45. Compared to the Lexus RX and Acura MDX it is by far the more exciting to drive!

I figured I would be turned off by a "Crossover" vehicle once I took it for a test drive because of the ride comfort. Boy, was I wrong. The non- sport package has some bumpiness, but nowhere near what I imagined. I went in looking at the G35, but left driving the FX35 AWD. This vehicle is very fun to drive and handles quite well. I drove it home from the dealer in a snow storm and I was at ease within minutes. The 4WD grips the road during bad weather conditions effortlessly when the "SNOW" button is engaged. I never drove a car in the snow feeling so secure. Now that the weather has cleared up, the RWD is in full force and engine torque remains at high speeds. Overall, a real winner
Luv it!

I've had my copper FX35 for not quite a year now and I love it! Its fast, its comfortable and everbody including the gent in the Rolls is checking it out. The 6 cylinder is suprisingly quick and the power stays with you well past the speed limit. The cargo space is limited for some but I find it is more than adequate for my daily use. If I fold the seats down I can put alot in it with the exception of something very large. But who buys a crossover vehicle if you're hauling refridgerators. Its sporty, fun to drive, and big enough for my companions with their golf bags. All in all its the styling, comfort and impressive handling that will sell you the FX35.

i just got my fx two weeks ago,i said i would not drive it to work everyday to keep the mileage down. YEA RIGHT that did not work its just to cool not to drive all the time. it handles like a sports car , but alot more comfortable and you gotta love the exhaust note it purrs even in idle. even the backseat is real comfortable and it reclines. my only gripe is where they put the widow controls u gotta be a contortionist to mess with the windows while youre driving.

I've had my FX35 for about 10 months now. I don't have a single complaint about this vehicle. Well, other than I don't get to spend every minute of the day in it! The power is punchy, the steering unbelievably true, and the ride smooth and comfortable. I didn't get the 20-inch wheels because I thought I detected slightly more road noise and rougher ride. I've never regretted that decision. The 18-inch grip the road and provide a very smooth ride. This car not only turns heads, but I've had people actually approach me on the street to ask me about it.

This is the best built, fun to drive vehicle we have owned or ever driven. I can't believe how much room there is for cargo after the rear seats have been folded down.We have the sport package w/the 20" chrome wheels so we had the tires siped for improved ride & traction on the ice and snow this winter. The power is awesome, you can really move out when needed on the highway.I could go on and on but won't. What a very nice ride, we are stylin'.

I just purchased my 2005 FX 35 and I absolutely love it. It is black with the brick leather interior and it is gorgeous. With the touring package and sport package it certainly is a head turner! The dealership was extremely helpful and you just can't beat the warranty and the perks that go with it. I highly recomment it!

I purchased my FX35 used in 2007, I had been wanting one for a least a year but was torn between the FX35 and the VW Toureg. Well I made the right choice I have fallen in love with this car. Coming from a VW beetle a 4-cyl to a powerful V6 was an adjustment when it came to the extra power. This car gives you the best of everything it rides smooth like a luxury car but has that size of an SUV. My fiance' and I took it on a trip to Las Vegas and it did great.

I was not familiar with the car and my husband wanted to buy it. I now LOVE it. I love driving it on road trips the seats hug you! I love the engine I wanted at 350z and feel like I got a bigger version. My kids even love this car! I'm thinking of trading it as my kids are going off to college and am having difficulty parting with it. I didn't think I would but like the others said the one down side is the gas it is a drinker.

I have been impressed with this vehicle from day one. I recently drove from Chicago to Gainsville FL and got caught in one of the worst snow storms of the year. My FX cut through snow and ice like it was not there. I never swirved, slid or got stuck even on unplowed roads. It could be better on gas, I averaged 18.5 mpg.

With the Sport option with 20" wheels, the ride is very hard-especially if driven in on urban roads. If not, then the performance and handling are great. It's like driving a sports car! The main problem is with the limited sight vision on the sides and the rear.

4000 miles on car. Love it. Can't fit a 10 foot pole inside, but who cares?! I'll cut the pole in half, and gladly make 2 trips! Lots of comfort, luxury, & convienence features (try lowering the rear seats from the back of any other small/mid SUV! It's a breeze with the FX). Would be nice if the rear view was better.

This car was called the "Bionic Cheetah" by some car magazines, that must be due to the purrrr that comes out of the engine as you drive. I had always owned large american luxury models prior to the FX35 (full size Lincolns & Cadillacs) and the FX35 rivals those old standards in comfort, style and overall driving pleasure. It turns heads and gets a lot of thumbs up on the road, and is for sure one of the most stylish set of wheels that can be bought on the mass market. The navigation system is supreme, the sound system stellar and the front seats well just are too comfortable for words. Get this car.......you'll absolutely love it to pieces!!!!!!!

This vehicle is fun to drive. It also has very comfortable seats. In fact, its rear seats recline and are more comfortable than most cars' front seats. It does not drive like an SUV at all. It has quite a bit of power - 280 hp. This is fantastic, compared to the Lexus 330 which has only 230 hp or even the BMW X5 which has only 225 hp. Also, I love how it turns heads when I'm driving it around.

I have been looking at purchasing this vehicle since 03 and finally made a purchase in 05. This vehicle lives up to my expectations as a Crossover. The 280HP, 3.5L engine revs like a 350Z while the 5 speed transmission with clutchless shift lets you have a whole bunch of fun.

As a mechanical engineering company, we have been running most prestigious SUVs in the past years, including BMW X5. None of them had the real capabilities of the Infiniti Fx35 on icy/snowy roads. This 4 W drive reacts about 20 times faster and safer than any other drive on the market today. The build quality is just perfect.

The unique style of this SUV caught my eye, but after only seconds behind the wheel I knew that I would own it. It handles like a sports car with the power and quickness of a predator. My Laser Red FX35 has the beautiful, and hugely impressive 20 inch chrome 8 spoke wheels. The wide, low agressive stance gives it that "ready for the race track" appearance. The automatic transmission is set like a jeweled time piece allowing the 280 horses to reach their desired rpm before smoothly but energetically grabbing the next gear, making each shift feel like I was doing it all manually. I am often ask "what is it?" Its BOLD, its AUDACIOUS, its SEXY! And no one will ever mistake it for a Lexus!

The Fx is a great car . It is a Ford Explorer on steroids. . It handles great . It is A very good bad weather car . The all wheel drive works very well. Fit and finish is very good. Infiniti sevice is good but not up to Lexus , but close ( I have two Lexus ) It is a fun to drive car . I get 17-18 mpg in town and 22-24 on the road . No rattles . I have had the car for one year now and plan to keep it for a long time . The ride is very firm . But boy does it corner , it is fun.

Have had 4 Mercedes and the FX compares favorably in handling and so far reliability. Very pleased with the whole car. Would advise purchasing the 18 inch wheels rather than 20 inch. The ride with 20" wheels is rather rough.
