Couldn't be happier
The worst part about buying a new car you love is the first 1000 miles. You have to baby it. Now, after 1000 miles, I can drive with more enthusiasm. I love this car! Once you see it with the sport package (20" wheels, blacked out lights)you have to have it. Throttle tip in is good, love the exhaust sound, love the stance, HID lights, LED tails, high door sills. Only problem is, my wife likes to drive it too. I'm not a jealous person, but that's MY car! 265mm tires and AWD, this car seriously handles like a sports car. No joke.
high expectations, somewhat disappointed
I drove a 2003 Nissan Murano, and thought the FX would be a step-up. Ride, styling, handling,I think the FX is better. But, some features and comforts, the Infiniti is not as good as what should be it's lesser sibling. The back seat is much smaller and less roomy. For the driver comforts - the window controls are poorly placed, the HVAC controls are not as easy to use as the Murano, and there are none of the great storage compartments of the Nissan. Two real disappointments: a fresh air vent that routes through the engine compartment in a way that blows hot air regardless of outside temp, and a built in bluetooth handsfree phone microphone that is horrible-all callers complain!

Awesome!
This is my first SUV after many years of sports cars. This is a great compromise between the two!
Move over German auto makers
My three last vehicles were BMWs (last one a M3 conv.) and the fit and finish in this FX35 is as good if not better. The V6 feels like a V8. The ride and performance is awesome (I have the Sport package). I absolutely love the seats and Bluetooth (Handsfree package). My only grip is the dashboard cannot be dimmed without the lights being on- I was really digging for this one. The warranty is also the best in the luxury segment. I love this vehicle. The German comparable is at least $10K more and not worth it. Goodbye BMW!
SUV with vroom
This vehicle is a real surprise. The utility of a suv with the speed and grace of a sport coupe. The price beats all other vehicles in this segment ( bmw x3 ). You can't beat the bang for the buck.
You'll Buy It Because It Looks Cool
We traded in our Mercedes ML for my wife for the FX and I drive a BMW M Coupe. At first I didn't think it was worth the money considering the rear passenger leg room is sparse, it has the least amount of cargo room in its class, I had to buy a roof rack for our snow boards, its difficult getting our small kids in and out of the rear, and there is A LOT of plastic in the interior. But 15k miles later I love the way it handles (just like a V8), great exhaust note, and superb handling (easy transition to go from my M to this car). As it compares to other SUVs in terms of practicality it isn't a smart choice, but its the best for overall performance and incredible aesthetics.
Outstanding Vehicle!
This vehicle is fun, fast and turns heads. Comfort is good--not much backseat room. Fit and finish are excellent as is the reliability.
Great car
We have driven the car for about 7 months and we absolutely love it. Performance is outstanding and it is great fun to drive. Interior and exterior design and quality beats anything else we have seen. We have three kids and can fit three child/booster seats in the back. Cargo space was much larger than expected!! It is wider than the competition and the FX is more practical to load. Great combination of design and performance. With AWD and the powerfull engine, gas mileage (16-21 mpg) is a bit low. It drives like a sport car but is still extremely comfortable. Most other SUVs feel like trucks but not this one. Great control on the road.

Car is great! Beautiful with a feeling of a real piece of equipment.
Driver review
Great value for a second car
Absolutely love it!
I love it! I just took it for my first roadtrip to Vegas and it was great. One of the most comfortable roadtrips I have had! Gas was really great on the highway, but in the city its not too great. But so far, this car is definitely doing its job and I am enjoying it thoroughly!
Awesome Autumn Copper FX
We own an Infiniti G35 coupe and absoulutely love the performance of this vehicle but we needed something more practical for our family and this SUV has been the ticket to Breathtaking performance and versatily. This car is a real looker and a real performer as well.
Second Look
I just got mine and although it is fun to drive, the blue tooth is lousy, does not have self locking doors and find the seats uncomfortable. But other than that it is a blast to drive and when you step on the gas it is there for you.
