Used 2010 INFINITI FX35 Consumer Reviews
Buyer Beware
Before you spend 45K (+) for this vehicle, please note that is has a major design flaw in its transmission. Please take the time to read all of the consumer reviews at Edmunds and at various Infiniti web forums. The transmission up shifts too quickly so in essence you are in 7 gear by 38 MPH, thus getting up to speed (downshifting) in a passing situation is trying and thus a safety issue in my humble opinion. I am not please with this vehicle and it will be scrapped very soon. Knowing this issue, shame on Infiniti for not upgrading the tranny as there are numerous customer complaints when this model was introduced. Never again wil I own an Infiniti so buy at your own risk!
Awful Trans!!
I had the 2003 FX35 and I loved it. So I just had to have 2009. I like the improved interior and the new look, but the ride is still hard. My main problem is the 7-speed transmission. The car only accelerates smoothly when rapidly accelerating. Accelerating from about 25 mph or 45 mph is awful. It never seems to know what to shift in too. Its a nightmare when driving in traffic because it keeps downshifting and then it lags when it should up shift. I end up using the paddle shifters to make the trans do what it should be doing on its own. I was thinking it was only my car and maybe something is wrong with my trans, but I see that someone else had the same issue.

A delight to own and drive.
Road performance outstanding by any measurement. Handling, acceleration, braking all exceed previously owned similar class vehicles. The obvious concentration on fit, finish, interior design and updated electronics set off by the very pleasing and contemporary exterior combine to provide an outstanding ownership experience.
Performance vehicle
My expectation so far has definitely been met. The performance and handling of this car has been superb. However the seven speed transmission at low speeds(15-30 mph) seem to lurch and hesitate as if searching for the correct gear.This tends to distract from the driving experience at times. Apart from that great drive.
Wonderful Vehicle
Let's start this out by saying I have massively enjoyed this car for almost a year now. I traded in my 05 FX35 that I loved, and fell in love all over again. What a fun to drive, eye catching, high tech, sporty vehicle with utility available. Infiniti nailed this one. I really enjoyed the last FX I had, but this improved on what was already a masterpiece! The gas mileage is about the same (but this time I have the AWD), and the rear visibility is still pretty poor. Other then that everything else has improved!
