Used 2010 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
Sports Car in the Body of an SUV
Huge improvement over '08- refined interior, more power, better ride. Almost bought the Lexus RX350. FX a little more edge and a lot more performance. Gadgets galore. Highly recommend the bigger wheels to offset the longer hood. Exclusivity as factory not making as many. Highly reliable- not a single issue with my '08. If you are looking for a sports car with some utility this is your ride.
My 2nd FX35
I like the 09 MUCH better than my old 04! Smoother quieter ride with a much more refined interior (definitely the nicest interior of any car I've owned; including 3 Acura's and 2 other Infiniti's). I think the exterior styling is an improvement and think it looks good. I prefer the new "wavey" grill to the old "dimpled" grill. Its definitely not the plain vanilla car most folks drive (how many RXs are there on the road?). Mileage is OK (about what I expected); I am puzzled by a previous reviewer giving a 20.2 average mpg a rating of only 5? Infiniti has the nicest most compact key fobs on the market - great for guys who hate a lot of stuff in their pockets. A great fun to drive car!!

Back to the Future FX
Lease ended on my 07 M35, and went for the new 2009 FX35. Got the Premium Package , Nav Package and Technology Package. Did not get the 20" wheel package. The 20s still make the car ride too rough and cost a lot more to replace than the 18s . Really like all the improvements in the car. The ride is 100% better than the previous model and even quieter than my 07 M35. It still is a bit rough if you are into a Lexus cush, but I think a lot of folks will like the balance of sport and lux. Tech features are amazing and really work!! A lot of this will become standard in the future on all cars. Check it out!
From '07 G35 to the FX...Nice Surprise!
2nd Infiniti. I had a 2007 G35X and absolutely loved it, but changed jobs and had to drive down the Turnpike every weekend and the drive wasn't so fun anymore. The FX performs and even drives like my G did, except it is a lot smoother. I really enjoy the IPOD interface. I agree with some of the bloggers about the 7speed transmission. I notice a slight hesitation when I am accelerating from 35 to 55 (very slight though). Having come from a G35, I find that I can't feel 80mph when driving... the car is that smooth. I purchased the NAV,Premium, Deluxe touring and enjoy the 360 cameras. Test drove the BMW and was very disappointed with drive and available technology features - Germans need help!
Great car, not comfortable
For a high end SUV the FX35 competes well, with some really nice features and tight solid construction. The controls are intuitive and usable, its nav system works great and the feature set is impressive. Comfort is a real drawback. The seats are good, but rear seating is cramped and there is limited cargo space. Space in the front seats is limited as well, with none of the little cubby holes and slots I am used to seeing in well designed cars. The ride is one word - punishing. You will feel every bounce and bump in the road. Pass on the technology package, it is annoying, constantly beeping and interfering with your driving style.
