Having owned a previous Nissan product (1993) Maxima that I had for 10 years (best car i ever had), I ended up buying a 2006 FX 35. Always loved the styling and after driving it (and competitors) decided on the FX. I still love the driving experience, but not necessarily the ownership experience. Have had multiple issues with having to return the vehicle to the dealership (which I admit, Infinity of Coconut Creek has been great) for many issues related to trim/cosmetics, I have also had to have 3 mechanical issues with the car that if I had to pay for out of pocket would have been very expensive if not covered under warranty. I do not think I would purchase another Nissan/Infinity product

I am the proud owner of a 2006 FX35 that is in love with his vehicle. I love the exterior design and the interior color (brick)as well as the "cockpit" feeling. The manner in which this vehicle performs and rides is compearable to expensive sport sedans. After 15 years of driving Corvettes I was looking for a more confortable ride without giving up too much performance and the FX35 is exacly what I was looking for. I am disappointed with the sound system. I was hoping that 11 speakers, 300 watts and the Bose name would give me a better sound however, there is a lack of "panoramic" feel that is the standard of 5.1(surround) systems also, the subwoofers do not have the expected "punch".

Although I'm 50, this SUV makes me feel 10 years younger every time I drive it. The handling is supreme – and I’ve owned both a Shelby GT350 and a Porsche, so I know a little about handling. Yes, the ride is a bit rough. And the exhaust makes a little more noise than I would prefer. But hey, this is no Soccer-Mom’s SUV. If you want that, get a (yawn) Lexus and be done with it. This is a driver’s SUV that can fit easily into a small space. When the rear seats go down it’s got plenty of room, and it can tow up to 3500 lb. So for me, it’s just the perfect SUV. And to top that off, I can get 25 mpg on the freeway should I choose.

After 25 years of driving German sedans, this is our first Japanese made vehicle. Quite impressive. We did not want a truck for our first SUV, and the FX35 is a nice compromise between a sedan and a full sized truck based SUV. Drives much like a sports car on steroids. Powerful, responsive, and fun to drive, yet gets good gas mileage. Smooth transmission, too, as it never has any abrupt shifts. Rides like a nice sedan, but handles deep snow with aplomb. Not as roomy as most SUVs as this vehicle is not meant for hauling a lot of "stuff." Instead, it holds four people in excellent comfort, and handles like a car. We also love the tv camera for backing up. Great visibility all around.

The Best Car I Ever Owned WAS SO PERFECT I MISS IT

I never write reviews for anything but this car is worthy of a review because I absolutely loved it. I leased a 06 Black Obsidian on Wheat FX35 AWD w/ Sport/Tech Packages. This car was so much fun to drive! It was truly the perfect car for me, and now here I am in 2017 and I am looking for a 06-08 FX35. The handling/seating position and height/exhaust note/Bose system/Navigation were by far perfect. The seats were extremely comfortable. I truly loved and looked forward to driving it. Even when I had it I always said how could Infiniti create such a perfect car. The sticker new was 49k and after two years when my lease was up the buy price thy gave me was $41k, so I thought I would find one cheaper used but they took so long to go down in value! They really held their resale value well. After the FX i bought a 745i which i hated and sold, then leased a Z4 3.0si which I enjoyed, and bought my dream car which I will be keeping a 95 Hellrot 840ci. But out of all of the cars I've ever driven and owned I have never been happier driving my 06 FX35. I recently test drove a 2016 QX70, while it was nice it still wasnt the same. I would like to look into the FX50S but honestly for the price of what I can get a 06-08 FX35 for now that is all I need! Truly a great car and highly recommended.
