My wife and I have always preferred sporty vehicles so up until now have resisted purchasing a SUV. The FX is a great blend of a sports car feel with SUV convenience. Handles great in mts. Some reviews complain about the limited storage space but we find it more than adequate for most applications. Some don't like the exhaust sound which we enjoy but if it bothers you, simply turn up the fabulous Bose sound system. We were concerned about possible gas mileage issues but are getting almost 24 mpg on highway and close to 20 mpg in town. Over years we have owned a lot of vehicles but we feel the FX35 is the best vehicle we have ever owned. Goodbye Mercedes.

Purchased car new based on analysis among Lexus RX, Acura MDX, and Toyota Highlander (replaced RX). By far a better value - great handling especially in windy road conditions - tons of standard features - options are reasonably priced relative to competition. Driving comfort is second to none. Back up camera is great feature as there is a blind spot in changing lanes looking out the rear sides. Car is quieter than anticipated - on screen displays easy to use and make sense. Best of all - can fit 3 sets of golf clubs in rear much like the RX - so many SUVs today cannot fit golf clubs in the rear compartment without putting the seats down.

Recently purchased a used, almost new FX35 AWD and unfortunately I should have done more research on the AWD system. The car features are fine and comparable to my X5, great stereo, etc. Power is great and a fun drive but in snow you can not make almost any turn at any speed. Just replaced the tires with brand new very good all seasons with great snow traction rating but the AWD system is simply useless. Many electronic AWD vehicles when switching to Snow or 4x4 mode lock the front transmission. FX35 simply lowers the low end power and I guess makes the system engage at lower levels. Driving this car on snow is simply a scary ride and nothing like my X5, stay out of snow.

Owned for 30 days. Great car but front seating needs improvement. I weigh 215 and the seating area is too narrow to ever get comfortable. Everything else is well thought out; quiet ride and so far performed very well with no trips to the dealer!

Have had this vehicle for a month now and love the look of it, love the way it drives, and love the respect I get on the road. I was most worried about the visibility b/c I read the vehicle has a lot of blind spots, turns out the mirrors are pretty good about compensating. My one main issue is a personal one - I am 5'5" and having a hard time getting the right fit in the vehicle - I end up with knees dangerously close to dash in order to reach the pedals and see well through the windshield at the same time. If I move the seat lower, the seatbelt is on my neck, if I move it farther back, I can't reach the gas pedal as well. I think it would be hard to find a good comfort level for shorties.
