Like a sports car that can do HomeDepot
Just purchased an 07FX35 and have to say coming from an 03 Explorer what a difference. On the road looks/drives sporty/quiet. Very sports sedan like(was thinking of getting into an AcuraTL or Infiniti G but being 6'3" and accustomed to the higher entry of the SUV went with the FX, happy! The interior is very nice. Cup holders where they should be and love the new design change from the 05.I have 1500 miles on it in mixed driving and so far average mpg is 21. I get very good highway millage 25-ish with the cruise on at 75.Around town 18 mpg (I have a heavy foot) The explorer has more space in the rear. But with the easy fold down seats Home depot is no problem.Also 4 buds and clubs fit nice
Overall this crossover stinks
Gas mileage is horrible. Shimmy at 60- 65 on balanced aligned tires. Horrible gas mileage. Brakes wear relatively fast and rotors warp as fast. Poor gas mileage. Doors do not lock when vehicle starts moving for safety. Not a very quiet ride. Navigation stinks. Very expensive to maintain (very!). Could ride smoother. Did I mention HORRIBLE gas mileage?

Reliability Problems
Purchased what I thought would be a wonderful and reliable vehicle but had problems from day one. The major issue continued to be steering wheel vibrations. Infiniti replaced the steering rack and associated linkage to no avail. Car shook around 65 mph and continued at higher speeds. Replaced the tires, etc., still no relief. Got to the point I couldn't stand the shaking anymore so I traded it on an 07 MDX. I also had a lot of rattles in the FX.
Love this vehicle...mostly
We've had 0 mechanical issues; great performance in spirited driving. The trim around the windows has started to fade after 2 years & the vinyl part of the seat (the sides) are starting to crack on both front seats. The wheels are also discoloring; dealer says its something we applied (the car wash I've used for 10 years changed their products all of a sudden? really?!!!) So other than those minor & annoying issues, this is a fantastic vehicle. I am concerned w/ long-term build quality. Our brand- new looking 97 Toyota Land Cruiser was chiseled out of granite, so not sure Ive got a balanced view (you should only return to the dealer for breaks, oil & to buy a new one after 300k miles).
FX35 is awesome!
This is my second Infiniti. I was thoroughly pleased with my G35, but have to say the FX35 has exceeded my expectations. I will continue to purchase Infiniti mainly because of the excellent styling and reliability I have found in both vehicles. The look and styling of the FX35 is in a class of it's own. I had compared it to several other makes and models but again Infiniti came out well ahead for more bang for the buck. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that truly has an appreciation for driving a well built vehicle.
