Owned since new. Has always been great mix of performance, reliability and value. Over 205k and going strong. I've had modifications done to improve handling by adding adjustable suspension and lower tires, which makes this already great handling and steady SUV, an absolute dream to drive especially around tight corners.

Once you drive one you could only then understand the difference between sport design SUVs like the FX35, FX45 or the BMW X6 and the rest of the SUV pack. I drive daily in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area and the FX is best equipped to be agile enough to zoom through heavy traffic more like a sport car then an SUV( more like a sedan on steroids). I have the 2005 FX35S sport package including the larger rims but the car does not need any additional sport features ..it breeds aggressive driving 300HP .sport exhaust system. Supper cool interior (I have the light cream interior) with excellent attention to details ( M. Pop)

I watched, with envy, those who drove in the Infinity FX35 since 2003. Then in August of 2005 I drove past a dealership and saw a 2005 FX35 in a pearl white metallic with a wheat colored interior and decided if I could sit in the drivers seat safely, I would become the source of other peoples envy. I have a back problem that requires exactly the right combinations to exist while getting in, getting out and of course sitting. It begins with the height of the seat from the ground. FX35 perfect. Next, the seat has to power recline and must offer power adjustable lumbar support. FX35, perfect. Then, the seat has to be firm. FX35, perfect. Finally, power tilt/telescopic searing must accommodate my need to severely recline the seat back. FX35, perfect. I spent an hour and a half just sitting, then getting out, then getting back in, then sitting. after an hour, the salesman came out and asked if there was a problem, I answered "not yet". Half an hour later, salesman came out again and asked if I wanted to take the car for a drive. I said "It's not that important". He went silent for a moment, then smiled and said "Take it for a drive". I said "Fine, I will". Half an hour later I returned. The salesman said nothing, he just smiled knowingly as did I. I had come to understand what an incredible vehicle this was. Beyond it's incredible, exciting styling, there was the growl of the motor, the ride, the firm, planted to the pavement handling and that feeling of pride as I left the dealership and walked toward the car I had coveted for 2 years, with keys in my hand and the legal right to drive away. I have replaced the battery and tires, changed the oil (synthetic) and filter as required without incident for 12 and a half years. Head lights were replaced due to a factory recall (no cost to me). I have the car detailed every spring for the last 8 years. To this day, when I approach my FX35, I get the same knowing smile on my face that I shared with the salesman and when I park it and walk away, I always turn around for one more look. When crossing paths with other FX35 owners at stoplights or in a parking lot, I again exchange that knowing smile with others who own this rare source of pride and performance. Hard for some to understand maybe, but you either get it, or you don't. It was my plan to drive my FX35 until Infinity offered an FX styled vehicle with full electric drive train. To my horror, Infinity announced that 2018 would be the last year they would manufacture the FX35. They have since announced their intention to offer an electric model by 2022 - which effectively means by 2025, 7 years from now. I'm 75 years old so I could be [non-permissible content removed] out of luck by then (dead). Since I only drive 3,500 miles per year, I guess I'll probably drive my FX35 "Until I Die". It's currently remains irreplaceable. I don't have navigation or Bluetooth, but I have a smart phone I can talk to and will talk back, so I'm good. My one and only small complaint is the relatively poor gas mileage (13MPG in town - 24MPG on the hi-way), but that's a price I am eagerly willing to pay. Damn, that car is beautiful.

I've had this car for about 9 months now and can't say enough good things about it. It's fun to drive, has good acceleration, has a fantastic bose stereo and is one of the coolest designed cars on the road. The front seats are some of the best I've ever sat in, with bolsters that hold you tight. Head room is good for tall people (I'm 6'3"), which is hard to find these days.

Fun Car never had any real repairs had the car for between 45000 and 94000 miles. Get the sports version has the silver rack on top and the larger tires seems to ride better than the other versions of this vehicle. Uses lots of gas around the city will average only about 16 MPG driving mellow. I am pretty tall with long legs and the car is comfortable. Cannot say that about too many.

32 years old been wanting this bad boy since 2005 but being young i wanted the cooler cars.( Camaro mustang challenger 350z etc etc) not a youngster like 21 any more but still have that sports car spirit. Now have a 7 month old. Coupes are history for me until further notice lol . Picked up a well taken care of 2005 with 72,000. Have it for a year now. Damn this baby brings me back to my early 20s. Stiff steering manageable. Suspension is that of the g35. Purs like a mother fu$^&÷. And reliable like a Lexus and thats saying alot. Keep up with the oil changes and filter monitor everything else according to your specific usage but it wont leave you stranded or in last place lol. Holds its value becuase it is still popular in 2020 and you can tell by the designs of newer crossover SUVS that thee FX35 inspired a bunch of them. If and when this car goes on me years and years from now ill be jumping right back in a 2003-2008 model!. Great buy U wont regret

One test drive with this car is all I needed. I was going to purchase the Murano but changed my mind immediately after driving the FX. The way it corners is incredible. I cannot imagine a car being more sure-footed that the FX. The car is solid and heavy but very stable and it makes the driver feel in total control even at higher speeds. The quality of the materials inside is also quite a departure from otherluxury nissan cars. It is as if the FX was made by a different company, with different standards of quality, far exceeding the standards of other brand of vehicles and even some of Infiniti's own line of previous year models. Move over X5/RX330/MClass.

I recently purchased this vehicle with 21k miles. I've owned it for 2 weeks now and my wife and i constantly fight who's driving while doing errands. I was between this car and the Rx330. The lexus was a bit too plush for my tastes. I like road feel and aggressive excelleration! After my wife test drove both vehicles, it was obvious which car to get. But i do admit, the interior is a bit nicer in the Lexus, but the fx dominates in all other aspects! Ive driven the whole lexus line, bmws, mercedes, porsche, acura, and a few infiniti's. And must say this car has a great feel and is extremely solid! I get excited everytime i walk up to the driver door with my keys!

My car is 12 years old and I still love it. I bought it almost 2 years ago and the only thing I've had to do is put new brakes and tires on it and keep up with the oil. The handling and speed is amazing. My husband loves driving my car and it's great for both interstate and back country hwys. I only drive around 15 miles a day so my gas lasts for 2 weeks and its only $40. I can't wait till I get a newer version!

I traded my Explorer for this vehicle. I am very happy with everything about it. The style, the performance and simplicity of regular maintenance. Changing the driveline is very simple. Take bolts out, fill it with the proper fluids and put bolts back in. Other than the tranny, all fluids are available anywhere. Air filter is easy to change. Spark plugs are harder because of all the wires and the cover, but shouldn't take longer than an hour. BIGGEST problem of this vehicle is its valve covers (alot of them). They leak after 80K and you have to change them BOTH. With the cheapest options (you buy the parts, you get your buddy to install it), it will still cost you $600+. That sucks

Good power and handling. Throaty sound on start-up rather cute. Adequate (but not large) storage. Very good looking. This car has keyless operation, which is great! No fumbling for keys to open doors or start the ignition. Auto seat and outside mirror adjustment per each driver when door is unlocked. Test drove Lexus, but its power is marginal. Ride of the FX is reputed to be stiff, but seems okay to us. Reputed blind spots also do not seem to be a problem, either. Nav system works well - tells you in advance if there is a left turn immediately following a right turn.

This is a wow looking car with fabulous interior, the 280 hp v-6 can accelerate going up hills. Never had a car with so many hot comments from passers bye. The 20in wheels and computer assisted steering & drive is awesome. while this is sports handling, the taller profiles make for great suv needs in the clearance over rugged colorado roads. Electronic 4 wheel drive is the best i've ever driven.We are all westerners who have had lincolns, mercedes, corvettes, & grand cherokees. Only negative is the rear visability. Front seat adjustments are terrific, and even my shorter wife loves the views. Sound System unreal!

I love to drive this car! I bought it primarily for safety, but it quickly turned into the best car I have ever owned. It handles nimbly and quick, like a sports car. The engine is powerful and fast - I have avoided several accidents because of the maneuverability of this car. With the AWD and 20" tires, the car holds the road and I feel in total control, even around tight corners. The interior is slightly small (great for me, since I'm 5'2", but a tight fit for my husband who's 6') but the comfort and luxury makes up it. I would recommend this car to anyone!

I rented this vehicle and I was so not impressed. It may look roomy on the outside but the interior of the car is so lack in comfort and style. The front cabin is a joke. They want to make the vehicle comfortable and easy accesible for the driver to get to but its all cockied. I had difficulty locating buttons to move the drivers seat to comfortable heights and length for comfort to drive. The positioning of the head rests in the back blocked the view out the review window. It was hard to adjust the side mirrors and couldn't get a good view of the blind spots on either side. Nice body, drive lacks function.

I just sold my 2005 fx35 fully loaded w/ 97000 miles to a dealer. I only got $9000 for the FX35. I did not want to sell the fx35 to a private party because the FX35 started using a quart of oil every 700 miles.

Excellent build quality. Had it for 5 years now and never had a mechanical problem. The only problem was the CD player, but the dealer replaced it with a brand new one without me paying for anything. This car handles very well, easy to drive, not as comfortable as some other SUVs though. Guess it's the sports tuned suspension I have.

I have similar problem to another post. My dashboard is blistering like a boy scout with poison ivy. I complained within the warranty period but service would not act on it. I should have sued. He said "No, never seen or heard of such a problem. You can bring it in when the factory rep is here, but he's not likely to do anything." I like the car in many ways, but when you get down to it, for the price, they just can't compete against Lexus because of the quality of service Lexus provides. My wife had a Lexus 11+ years and her interior looked great. When we had a problem with the A/C "out of warranty" they still replaced it because they said there were factory defects. THAT'S SERVICE.

I have a 2005 FX35 that I paid 43k and I would not recommend any of the FX35. Infinity dealer replaced my bubbling dash board July 2008 when my car had only 28,000 miles. Now 14 months later at 40k miles the same problem. Out of warranty by 2 months and Infiniti dealer is not willing to help me unless I pay $1500 to have the dash board replaced with no guaranty that this will not happen again. The problem is the glue that was used in the dashboard is causing the problem. You pay good money for a car and it is a big problem. It will lower the value of my car. I do not recommend this car to anyone.

Great look Good power comfrotable seating but that all goes by the wayside once you start driving the on off ramps of the expressway this car has more bounce than an NBA playoff game enough so that if you are on a long expressway ramp you are going to have motion sikness needless to say the dealer says it is a cherastic of the car,Not what I wanted to hear after buying it. Had I known it was going to ride like a short wheel base jeep I would have never bought it. Own 2 Lexus RX 300 cars big wheels no bounce with them. Shame on Infiniti for selling a luxury car with an economy car ride!!!!

I bought my FX-35 from an Infiniti dealership with 29K almost five years ago. I now have 96K. In this time i have gone through two dash boards due to deffects in the material which was fixed by the dealerships, two tears in the side of the uphostery, a small plastic gear in the front seat controls has broken which is a $900 bill and now the transmission has failed. I took the car into the dealership for an unusual noise in the drive train and routine maintenace. i picked it up and it wouldn't shift into reverse without pressing down on the gas pedal. And then there are those horrible, horrible Bridgestone Potenza tires.

I bought this car about a 1 1/2 years ago and I still love driving it. It was my first SUV but I must say it drives like a sports car. The BOSE stereo, Backup camera, and the NAV are must haves on this car. I got it with the beryllium exterior and brick colored interior and people drool when they get inside. The snow button is great too. I could not imagine driving in the snow without it because the car has so much power.

Enchanted in the showroom, for some reason I can't explain I was not happy with this car for the first 40K miles. The original Goodyear tires were terrible, but otherwise, the car was fine. I just didn't bond emotionally with the car. Then I replaced the Goodyear's with Toyo's, and I began to love it. A few months ago I was in an accident, the other car ran a red light and hit the front fender. No one was hurt, and $9K later it was repaired, better than before. All the road chip damage from lots of freeway driving is now gone, replaced by a new bumper and grill, and the entire front-end repainted. I kind of wish something would wear out so I could rationalize buying a new Infiniti.

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.

190K miles on the odo, 150K of which were driven by yours truly since 2008. Replaced ignition coils twice, replaced the ECU and catalytic converters under warranty. Chews thru batteries in appr. 18-24 months. Replaced the alternator. Electrical system is definitely its greatest weakness, maybe it's just my unit, but from what I've read I'm not entirely alone in this. But what an absolute joy to drive! Nissan went and accidentally built a better Cayenne than Porsche! The balance and handling are fantastic for a car of this size, height, weight, and age. 280HP is not a lot by today's standards, but the FX35 feels quicker than the numbers would suggest. I can't say it's been super-reliable, it has problems, but I'm gonna try to keep it going for as long as I can. Because there is nothing quite like it, truly a unique car.

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.

The FX35 is a unique vehicle. I traded a BMW X5 3.0 in. The FX35 handles better and the FX35 is faster. The BMW did have a smoother ride over bumpy roads. The value of this vehicle is hard to beat. for a comparably equipped vehicle the FX35 was about $7500 cheaper than the BMW. Overall if you want the best looking and most fun to SUV this one is hard to beat. The one word of advice I have is stick to the 18" wheels, The 20" wheels make the ride to firm. I stuck with the 18" wheels.

I love my FX35. It is fun and fast. It has 280 HP, quick on the highways and very comfortable to drive. I really enjoy the 20 inch tires, the car handles incredibly well. The only downside, if you want to get picky is for $36K the car lacks a third row, something that I need with 3 kids to haul around. The hatch is fine, but I would of preferred to have an extra seat if they could have designed one in the vehicle. I tested the Mercedes M 350, the X5 and for the money the FX 35 was the right choice.

Loaded FX w/touring and tech. Sport pack, but, swapped 18s for 20s (better riding tires). Had for 14 months. Excellent build reliability. Fuel economy 16.5 on ave. Goes like a bat, can't imagine the FX45. Motor noise gets a bit much w/windows open. Back up camera is well worth it. Ride is firm, but, handling and throttle response is incredible. Very good navi system, touch screen would be nice, but, the system itself is better than Lexus' offers. Give this car a try, it will surprise you.

Think of FX35 as a sports car with room for 5 adults and cargo area in the back. It is not your typical SUV. The ride is sporty with instant turn- in, little body roll, nimble steering, and excellent throttle response. Did I mention fantastic exhaust sounds? Seats are the best in class with wide range of adjustments. Leather feels expensive. The interior is modern and well-build. It feels a lot more refined and expensive than that of G35. This car is fun to drive and can carry some cargo if you ever need to. If you love cars and need ability to tackle snow, this car is for you. If you need a mom-mobile SUV with lots of cargo and soft ride, look elsewhere.

Have owned this vehicle since 3/17/05 & truly love it. The only drawback is the rear window vision. Have had to learn better use of side mirrors. Regarding Dealership: Sales process was average. F&I was substandard. Service has been excellent. If you could buy this vehicle w/o going into the dealership it would be great.

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.

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 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 travel a great deal with my job so I end up with approx 20 rentals per year. I've never had a car or SUV that handles as well as this one does. You never get the "top heavy" feeling that comes with most other SUVs. Plus it's fun to drive.
I love my FX

This is a great vehicle to drive...great handling, comfortable and sporty. I've had my FX almost a year now, and have driven all over Texas and to North Carolina. It handles the hills, curves and mountains like a dream, but is fantastic to drive to work in as well. And it looks great too! People always ask me what I'm driving and comment on how great it looks. You can't beat the planned maintainence either. The dealership goes out of their way to get you in and out as fast as possible. Don't think I'll ever own any other kind of vehicle!

I have tested ALL SUVs and crossovers. I have been a mechanical eng for 30 years. When I researched this FX and drove it, I was sold on the spot. Every day I drive it I like even more. I am probably the pickiest person when it comes to spending $. I just want what I pay for. I felt this was the only SUV that gave me that feeling and still does. Quality from back to front and top to bottom. It just came down to how much quality do you want for your money.
A car that thrills..

I have had this car for four months now, and had an Infiniti previously as well. I am hooked! This car is thrilling to drive, super comfortable, great on gas, and although I usually could care less about driving here and there I actually look forward to driving this car every day. It is so super responsive, it's got the agile handling of a sports coupe. It's got space to grocery get,and yet it sticks to the road like glue, and is so un- minivan like. The standard/auto switch shifter is MARVELOUS! I can nagivate tight turns with ease and without cramming on the brakes all the time. It's got a wonderful sound system, and dvd for my son-who thinks this car is the bomb! I am loving this car!

Have had our FX35 for 2 months. Always liked the looks and as soon as I took a test drive, had to have one. Great acceleration, powerful exhaust note, handles like a sports car. Well equipped even if you don't load up on the tech and sport packages. Didn't want the 20" wheels anyway--rides just fine with the 18s. Very roomy and comfortable front seats. I'm 6'4" and don't drive with seat all the way back-- first car I have ever owned to be able to say that. Great Bose sound system. New color Sapphire Blue you can get this year on lesser equipped models is very classy.
2005 Infiniti FX35 .... WOW!

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.
Awesome Car

Great Styling. Only drawback with my 2004 model is that my sunroof squeeks quite a bit. I'm due for 5,000 mile service so hopefully the dealer can repair the sunroof. Otherwise, car is a headturner. Drives nice and handles well. Needs a standard cargo area cover and option of an even higher quality Bose System.
i love my car!!!!

i absolutely love my infiniti fx35!!! I've had it for almost 2 yrs now and the only things I wish are that the passenger seat had controls to raise/lower and that the seat controls were not on top of the seat itself!
Fine Quality

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.
Great car

I enjoy this car... handles well in the dry (and great in the snow... I was amazed with the traction during a severe snow storm). Its fast, but not like my G35 which slams you back in your seat. Size is right, looks are great. Sound system is also very nice. Seats are comfortable. No problems at all in first 7 months. I'm only getting 16.4 overall MPG but I have a heavy right foot.
HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE IT!

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!
Infiniti's FX is the best out there!!

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.
