Just a poor designed car!

I bought a fully loaded FX35, but I am disappointed about the car. When driving in highway, the car sometimes hesitates to shift to a lower gear during acceleration and it chokes up! First time, I reported this problem to the dealer, they told me “Infiniti is aware of the problem but doesn’t have a fix for it yet”, but later on, they took it back and said “This is a Normal Behavior”! They just had a recall on the replacement of Steering Column Electrical Tilt Motor. Also, only after 5000 miles, the dealer had to keep my car for 1 week to fix rear window. After one week, they gave the car back to me unfixed and told me that “Infiniti doesn’t have the spare part in inventory”!!!

I am a previous FX-35 owner. I recently upgraded to the 2009 version. The ride is MUCH smoother compared to the previous model. The technological advances are amazing. The navigation system is better than Lexus. The radio is fantastic, including the iPod interface allowing you to fully manipulate the iPod using the Infiniti screen. The tip-tronic shift system is fun to use. You can use the stick shift or the paddles next to the wheel to up shift and down shift. The interior and dash board are much nicer now. I highly recommend the navigation system and the Technology package. The dynamic cruise control is very useful. I would VERY highly recommend this car, no questions asked.

Excellent but still room for improvement

Review after 1500 miles (Tech/Nav/DlxTour/Prem/Ent): Ample power/torque with responsive steering and braking make this a SUV that drives like a sport sedan. A joy to drive, but a manual transmission option would even be better. Very comfortable quilted leather seats with side bolsters and memory positions. While not as quiet as some luxury cars, the excellent Bose system compensates for any exterior noise that does intrude. All-around cameras make tight parking a snap. Attaining reasonable 20 mpg combined. Power latch on rear hatch is nice, but only emphasizes the missing auto-close feature seen with the competition. Built-in nav DVD means upgrading maps in future requires Infiniti service.

Not worth even considering

Why buy this crossover? I bought it and I hate it. And for solely one particular reason. The transmission! Dear infiniti, you tried and failed miserable on manufacturing a 7 speed transmission. Mercedes can make 7 speeds, Lexus can make a seamless 8 speed, but you infiniti are poor at making a 7 speed. Why does this car shift into 7th gear at 25 mph? Whoever is reading this. this car looks nice, it looks sexy, the interior is gorgeous, but only because of the transmission do not buy it. Consider the BMW x5 or x6 or perhaps the Mercedes ml 350 but please do not buy this deceiving SUV. I miss my m45

Sports Car/SUV - A Great Mix

Handles like a sports sedan (very similar to Adui Q5) but with additional practicality and great view of road. This was a prime consideration for me Great looking (and unique) exterior, beautiful interior - although I would prefer a bit more of the Maple and Aluminum trim, and it could really use some additional leather on the door panels at this price Milage is disappointing - have never gotten better than 22 mpg (and is generally 17 - 18) with AWD. While power is very good - milage is less than my previous M-B E430 4Matic Limited luggage space compared to other SUVs - but this is an OK trade-off since it handles a LOT better than other SUVs Dealer experience is not up to M-B
