Used 2010 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
Brutal 7 Speed Transmission
This is my first Infiniti. While I enjoy the unique exterior style of the new SUV (as well as some of the gadgets) I must admit that the 7 speed transmission drive train leaves me speechless... in a bad way. The transmission wants to shift into high gear (7th?) at road speeds of 25mph. Even in DS mode it is not appreciably different. And if you have to climb any degree of incline at 25mph... wow... the vehicle labors vigorously. There is no downshift without pressing the accelerator halfway to the floorboard; at which point the RPM goes to 5k and the vehicle lungs forward. I hope they do some reprogramming of shift patterns.
Worst car I ever owned. HATE THIS CAR
Buyer beware!! Transmission problem with the Infinity FX35. I do not feel safe driving this car. Transmission gets stuck between 3rd and 4th gear causing lag in speed. Can't pass or merge into traffic without worrying that I will not be able to pick up speed. Does not happen every time so can't prepare. Then when stoping, car lurches forward. Dealer claims that it is due to the change they made from a 5 speed to a 7 speed and that is just the way the car drives. Are you kidding me? Look up transmission problems on Edmonds for this car. Many complaints. They want to charge me over $4000.00 to return the car. And they consider this a favor!! There is no fix nor change to newer model

What were they thinking?
This is our 3rd FX35 since 2003, our 8th Infiniti overall since then. This blows away my 2003 and 2007 FX35. However, two issues that they fell asleep on. They took away the compass on the mirror, and the compact flash reads some things and misses others. No current support on that issue. The compass was useful when navigation did not have an address in its database. Now, forced to look at the little compass on the nav screen and figure out which way you headed. It takes a few seconds to figure it out when you could just look at your mirror and see the direction by letters. The cd harddrive takes forever to copy songs into memory, basically useless. Compact flash very picky and fussy.
My New 2009 FX35
I love this vehicle!! I test drove every SUV on the market before buying this one. I drove the Porsche, Benz, the Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Dodge, and the BMW. None compare with the comfort and goodies that come with this one. Did I say I love it?? I owned a BMW X5 before buying this vehicle and there is no comparison in the ride, feel and comfort. This vehicle is by far the most outstanding of all the SUVs on the market.

I had a very pleasurable buying experience at the infinti of omaha dealership. The sales team of Dan and Dave worked with me and my budget to get me into an upgraded 2009 model from a 2007. Very happy with the car and the professional way I was treated during the entire buying process. I highly recommend these two individuals when buying a car and the infiniti of omaha dealership
