Impressive All Season Sportscar

I would call the FX35 an All Season Sportscar (I wonder why Infiniti didn't call it that...). You don't buy this car because you need room or utility. You buy this because you want a sports car that can be driven year round and in adverse conditions. First of all, the styling. While it might not be for everyone, I don't think anyone can argue it's bland. It is a striking design, and it is rare enough on the road that they really stand out. Kudos to Infiniti for rolling out a production car that actually looks like its concept sibling. Now onto performance, what this All Season Sportscar really excel at. I've had the pleasure of taking a high performance driving course with this car, and the theme of the day was "Underestimated". The brakes may look small next to the 20" wheels, but they are surprisingly powerful and resilient. After a day at the track, the factory brakes were still going strong. And did I mention how strongly the car pulls and how good it sounds doing it? It's almost as if it's bending the laws of physics to do it. Handling is superb as well - it never once felt like I was driving tall heavy SUV through the slaloms and the avoidance maneuvers. The only thing that gave it away was the ride height - you won't be fooled into thinking you are in a Miata. The suspension is stiff enough through corners that the vehicle never feels "soft", yet for everyday commute it absorbs imperfections nicely. The car is much more capable within its performance envelope than any of us that day gave it credit for. However that doesn't mean you should get reckless behind it though - once you kick past the envelope and the laws of physics kick in, you're in the next zip code over before the 4200lb+ All Season Sportscar comes to a complete stop. Utility, storage volume in particular, is probably the Achilles' heel of the FX35. The spare tire under the rear cargo area bumps up the floor considerably. Couple that with the rakish coupe roofline, you have a low and wide opening that makes it next to impossible to load crates. The rear seats do fold down nicely, and the roof is considerably higher above the rear seats if you want to play some back seat tetris with your cargo. On a plus side though, because the roof is rakish and the hinge of the rear hatch is located so far forward, you can back the vehicle into a garage, and the hatch can still open even with only about a foot of space to the wall. Try doing that with other SUVs. In terms of utility off road, it does quite well light offroading, such as snow, mud, gravel or inclement weather conditions. With a good set of winter tires, the vehicle can handle snow covered mountain forest service roads without any drama (I have AWD). The interior is also a very welcoming and cozy space. The ambient lighting in the door handles is a very elegant touch, particularly if you have the maple accents. There are actually footwell accent lights too, but they are so dim (unless you swap them to LEDs) that they are not visible other than in the darkest of nights. The seats are very comfortable and well supported - no fatigue or butt cramps after long drives what-so-ever. Surfaces you are often in contact with are covered with soft leather material that just makes the whole cabin very luxurious-feeling. The backseat can recline to a very comfortable angle. The technology in the vehicle also leaves very little to be desired. I do not have the adaptive cruise control or lane departure warning systems, so I can't speak to those. The surround view camera though is absolutely brilliant. I call it "cheat mode", because it allows you to park the car in tight spaces with such confidence and ease that you'll passengers will be screaming "Aww that's not fair!". The Bose audio system is crisp, and if you're an avid CD listener you'll be happy to know the car will happily gobble up all the tracks on your CD and store them on its harddrive, so you never have to carry a stack of CDs with you. The navigation is also well voiced. Voice recognition is fast, although it can't take in a whole chunk of address at a time (i.e. you got to say the house number, wait, street address, wait, city, wait, etc). Unlike those OCD German car designs, the screen is a touchscreen, and the recessed setup makes it easily legible even in bright conditions. Another interior feature (somewhat useless) I really like is when you first get behind the wheels and turn the vehicle on (the push start button is supposed to pulse like the beating heart by the way), the steering column with lower and move towards you while the seat slides forward to your set seating position. The sequence is reversed when you get out of the vehicle. Really makes it feel like you're getting behind a X-Wing or something. Overall, I can't be happier with this All Season Sportscar. After about two years, it still brings a smile to my face every time I get behind the wheels, and I still catch myself admiring its lines.

First off, Just test drive one!! You will get it!! I recently sold my Infiniti G35x in search of a bigger, semi-offroad Vehicle. Ive owned more autos than shoes and Im well versed with pretty much all that is out there. Drove the Audi, Bmw, Benz, honda and After test driving the FX35, everything else seemed to fall short, so I knew what I was destined to get. 1st experience was picking her up and driving home 7.5 hours from VA to OH. OMG, I couldn't believe how much fun it was. 2nd "major" expereince My road trip from OH to billings Montana and back. 4 days of 12hours at a time. It was a flawless, fun drive. I only stopped when my eyes tired as the seats are better than a lazyb

This is my 3rd Infiniti, I leased a 2007 FX35, 2008 G35, and now this one a 2010 FX35. I went with tech package and NAV. Final price was about $56K with all the bells and whistles. I have to admit I am a little disappointed by this year's model. Ext design wise - you either love it or hate it. The tech stuff - stay away from it. Doesn't worth the money, doesn't work from time to time. Don't like the fact they use the same cheap console nobs on all their models. As a techie, I didn't like the user interface, its not that intuitive. It has an aggressive look, and its fun to drive, but didn't like few features on the new one. See bellow.

FX35 FWD with Premium, Deluxe Touring, Navigation, Technology, and Rear Entertainment Packages. Original owner with 130,000 miles since 3/2009. A lot to still like: 1) Reliability: no problems to date except a cracked hose and routine maintenance. 2) Handling: great feel of the road; amazing for an SUV; handles the twisties like a sports car; 3) Interior: looks luxurious; 4) Seats: excellent side bolsters and heated/cooled 5) Wheels: super looking 20" alloys that resists brake dust very well. Gas mileage 20 MPG overall. However, I want to point out the many areas that I would love to see on my next Infiniti FX (see below).

This vehicle has been the best car owned to date over Lexus, Acura, Honda with few if any repairs. The condition and paint looks new after buying in 2009. If you find this model 2009 AWD with paddle shifter's then buy it. I feel that I can go 300,000 miles +

Purchased from dealer, one owner lease. We have owned the car for 2 years and all we have done is regular maintenance per the dealer. Very reliable car, most Japanese cars are! Just had the transmission firmware updated, seems to shift much better. Also had the trany power flushed and changed. Overall, I just don't trust European cars these days. The BMWs / VWs, I have owned seem to require little $100-300 repairs all the time. Not the FX, everything works! does not nickel and dime you to death.
8 Years of Ownership thoughts on first year model

After 8 years and 140k miles I feel like it's time to give a review of this car. In short, this car was definitely ahead of its time when it came out. The exterior design, while polarizing when first released, has held up to the test of time. I still get frequent compliments on the vehicle and when I tell them it's 8 years old they're in disbelief. The around view camera is a feature that makes it easy to maneuver into any spot that can fit the dimensions of the vehicle. The engine still runs strong with zero oil burn, an issue that has plagued this motor in other Infinitis. This car still hauls donkey when floored. The transmission was never great, sometimes it's slow to shift, but it's an issue I've had since brand new so I've learned to adapt to it. The interior has held up well, no bubbles on the dash (parked outside in the sun from 8a-5p at work), leather (maybe it's pleather?) has held up very well and all the interior lighting is still functional. Reliability wise, the engine wouldn't start once but that was due to a dirty intake, now they're cleaned at regular intervals of 15k miles. Other than that, and this being a first year model, I've been very happy with how reliable the vehicle has been. Couple notes on my vehicle: 1) always and still use synthetic oils at 7.5k intervals, 2) transmission oil, while the manual says forever, always changed at 60k miles 3) differential oils changed at 60k intervals as well 4) my vehicle is black with a factory aero kit, never took it to a car wash always self washed or detailed so the paint still looks great. 5)I have an Invidia cat-back exhaust installed (still makes me smile when I floor it through tunnels). I can only hope that my next car can hold up as well as this in the performance, design, and maintenance departments. Overall, I'm super happy with my purchase and will be sad when the time comes to sell it.

To all those the have Trans issues, its really not that serious, yes it shift a little werid but hardly noticable. You people are freaking picky. The car is [non-permissible content removed] its fast, comfortable, and reliable. I looked into alot of SUV's and this one is by far the best. X5, M-B, Porshe is a joke. Just the interior on the FX alone is better then these cars. ive had this car for a few months and its been very fun to drive. its like buy a 350Z but a SUV body. if your old and not into sporty cars, dont buy this. Go buy a M-B with its 500 issues and its ugly exterior.

We bought our FX35 last February. I've been very happy with our purchase, my partner somewhat less so. The car is great fun to drive. The exterior takes a bit of getting used to, but the interior is class all the way. There were two significant issues. The first is rotten rear visibility - either you get used to relying heavily on the rear view and birds-eye cameras or you don't. The second was the transmission. It tended to search for the right gear, refuse to change quickly when floored, and just shift roughly. But there is now an available transmission re-flash (reprograms the computer) - ask about ITB09-032. It works wonders, completely solves the problem. Thanks, Infiniti!

Coming from Audi this has been a welcomed change. After pondering if we should purchase our 6th Audi in the last 12 years we said wait a minute. After mediocre to poor dealer experience we thought why stick with Audi just because. We test drove a Lexus,BMW, and finally the Infiniti and we were impressed by the dealer experience and of course the vehicle. Great value from Infiniti and awesome build quality which we didn't expect.

This car offers a unique combination for the discriminating purchaser. I have absolutely no need for a third row of seats or a rear seat entertainment system. The quality of the interior is superb as compared to the BMW X5 and Lexus G460. It offers better gas mileage and displays personality without exuding excess. I test drove the Acura, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, and others and came away with this as the clear winner for me and my mission statement. Ride, power, prestige, athleticism are a special combination.
Why buy any other Crossover - really?

This is our 3rd inifiniti (G35Coupe, FX45). I've always loved the infiniti brand and while I wasn't originally overjoyed by the new styling of the FX (I still like my 05FX45's styling better - but that's me) once I got in it and drove it I realized, it didn't matter. I was also concerned with going from our amazingly powerful FX45's V8 to the 35's V6 but I have to say - this is noticeably quicker. I didn't necessarily like the ride of the 45 they've apparently worked out all of that with the redesign because this thing rides very comfortably. It's tight, crazy quick, and still maintains inifiniti's unmistakable sound. I like the rev match as I drive it like a sports car - i.e. very fast.
Great Car - Hate the transmission

I have owned my FX for over 2 years now and love how comfortable it is to drive (my first trip was 1200 miles and I felt as fresh stepping out of it as when I had got in!). The engine is great and has plenty of power. My main gripe is the 7 speed transmission... it sucks. I often find myself trying to pass other traffic and putting my foot to the floor and nothing happening for 1-2 seconds... once you get passed this point fine, but that lag can seem like an eternity. I had it re-flashed and that helped a little, but this is definitely something more fundamental..... But if they fixed this I would definitely get another.

This is my third Infiniti after driving an '04 FX and an '05 G35, which I enjoyed tremendously. I had to have what was marketed as a new and improved FX for '09. I think the new styling is incredible. However, I have never been so unhappy with a vehicle's performance. I'm beside myself - I just threw away $40K+. In slow and go traffic, the shifting is all over the place while it attempts to find the right gear. Unless I'm able to drive aggressively, I find the 7-speed transmission unacceptable. From a stop it performs great. Once at about 22 mph is where I realize issues. Several times, when coming to a stop I thought I got bumped from the rear as the car has lunged - it's just not smooth. :(
My 2nd FX and Lovin it !

If you want a sports car with a backpack this is it! This is our 2nd FX, (Prem/Tech/Nav/RearEnt.). Our first FX was an 06 which my wife and I really enjoyed driving. I did notice the quirks of the new 7-speed but were resolved with the software updates. Having XM/cooling seats/dvd/nav/mp3/rain sensing wipers makes the FX a great cruiser on long road trips, I dont know how we drove long distance without Adaptive Cruise and Lane Departure Prevention they work really well. We drove 900 miles(hwy) with cruise control set @ 75mph & averaged 24 mpg. The technology, maintenance & reliability are simply amazing and are a bargain when compared to its European counterparts. Fun to drive, buy one!
Even More Disappointment

Not only did the transmission not upshift smoothly, now I am getting the same problem as others on the downshift side. Engine revs to 5k as I am pulling in to a stop. Thank goodness my foot is already on the brake. Talk about dangerous. This has shades of the mid-80's Audi all over it. In addition to an intermittently functioning Nav screen, a non-charging iPod, and braking "pulls" to the left and right... quite honestly, you can have this machine. Unfortunately, it's on a 4 year corporate lease. Pooched.
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 doesnt 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 doesnt 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.

I've always liked the Fx for its concept look, and decided to get one this fall. I couldn't be happier. The look is polarizing, but I can't take my eyes off of it--!-- and have been complimented regularly since getting it. I love the flared front wheel wells and overall aggressive look. Very quick, feels like its on rails handling curves. Beautiful interior-- embroidered seats, large, bright nav screen, easy- to-use interface make driving a joy. If you want a unique vehicle that beautifully blends a sports car with an SUV, this is your ride. There are RXs, MDXs, and X3s everywhere, but this is still only occasionally seen on the road...I love that in particular.

First off... I really had no idea this car even existed until I stopped by the Local Infiniti dealer. I just couldn't take my eyes off of it. My previous car was a Boxster "s" and was looking for something bigger, but didn't want to sacrafice the handling. Tried all the Usuall suspects(Cayene, Audi, Beemer, Benz...) but after driving this one, I was sold!! The German ones where great, but the interiors just felt sterile and unintuitive. MPG on the FX is pretty impressive, I get 24 average when I am being a good boy.

FX35 with nav and prem pkg no Touring, I like the black wood better and leather inserts. I test drove everything from BMW, Mercedes, Jeep, Acura to Dodge. I wanted a sports car feel with some utility and a little height to get me off the road and thats when I finally settled on Infiniti FX35. Ill be honest I'm very picky when it comes to quality and I could not be more pleased with this vehicle. Everything on this SUV is solid and well put together. The only thing Ive found to be not that great is the MPG. However I knew going into the purchase what kind of MPG I was going to get. I average 20-23 on FWY at speeds of 65-80 MPH. City is about 14-18 MPG. Great vehicle I love it!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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
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!
Second one is better than first one

Just bought my second fx35 last night. Traded in a leased 2008 for a new 2010. What a beautiful SUV that stands out in the crowd. I love the color which is a brown metallic called java. The newer one seems to be a little smoother ride and has a better turning radius then the 2008.
Great choice!

Okay, I've only had my fx35 for a week. But got the RWD version with the 18 inch wheels. I love the 20 inch wheel look, but got the 18s. Love the power and handling. View is great, and interior is luxurious. This is my second Infiniti, and I love the brand. Strong engine, great features. Appears MPG will be better than my 06 M, but still early. 7 speed takes a bit to get used to, but seems to fit well with the engine. Just so you know, there is a pretty significant blind spot due to the shape of the rear windows. But a well built, fun to drive, head turning crossover. And it does have decent storage in the back.
Very Happy

Finally bought my first FX, and love it. Corners well, quiet, comfortable, and looks great! Plenty of power there when it's needed or you just want a little adrenaline rush.
WOOOOOOOOOW!!

Everything works with precision! Great riding, handling, sounding, and looking car. Test drove many cars, and kept coming back to the FX. Thanks Infiniti for nailing it!!

Favorite car I have ever owned. Considered and test drove many other high end cars, but wisely chose the FX. It's an eye catcher on the main roads, and a performing BEAST on the back roads!
Best SUV on the road!

Enjoying my FX in every way. Fun to drive, head turner, great options, and I don't miss my BMW X5 one bit. The FX has it all!

I just got my White/Graphite FX 35 AWD with Deluxe Touring package yesterday. I only have 25 miles on it so my review may be premature. After having an M35 for a few years, I know what to expect. I tested Mercedes E350 (just like M series but pay for name), BMX 5xx (outgoing body style that I never loved), Cadillac SRX (stiff seats an low power), Buick LaCrosse (no power), Acura TL, and more. I ended up with the FX as I was ready for some elevation from the road for a few years and there is good room for my 4 year old. The loyalty cash didn't hurt, either. Great acceleration. Why do they bother with the FX50? Unique love it or hate it look. Not like every other car of the road, a-la RX350
Wildly Fun!!

The only single word I can think of to describe this automobile is AMAZING! It drives great (now the transmission is fixed), looks great, sounds great, and is priced great when compared to so called rivals. I test drove the Acura, Lexus, and BMW competing SUV's. Although they all had some great highlights, overall the Infiniti blew them away. It has the performance of the BMW's, all the features of the Acura, and much much better styling then the Lexus.
Great car

This is my second Inf after '04 FX, which I really enjoyed. I got the new 2009 FX35. I have never been so unhappy with a vehicle's performance and fuel economy. My old one was showing about 13-14 mpg mostly city drive and new "IMPROVED" shows the same, driving experience horrible, unless I drive about 70-80mph. In slow traffic the shifting is all over the place sometimes it feels like someone bumps you behind. Also maybe because car is to heavy or because of transm issues, when my car starts driving it feels like it's choking on fuel. I took car already a few times to dealer who claims that he did some re-programming, but so far I do not see any changes and think it will be my last Infiniti.
2009 FX35, stylish fun with practicality

FX35 AWD 2009 Platinum Graphite/graphite with Premium, Navigation, splash guards, illuminated step. For the price, this SUV has superb value and retains most of the excitement of a G35/M35 while increasing refinement and space. Rides smooth and solid, like a tank on rollers and is amazingly agile for its size. Fits 4 adults perfectly. Classy yet contemporary interior is intuitive and instantly driver friendly. Advanced technology such as 360* view cameras, fast navigation, powerful speakers, and smart lighting makes for a convenient and practical ride. 7 gears makes for better mileage and efficiency.
Great Crossover

Replaced my 2005 FX 35 when the lease expired with the new 09. Great SUV with the deluxe and premium packages that have the 20 inch wheels. It is certainly an upgrade from the 05 with nicer interior and better ride. It seems that there is more leg room in the front in the 09. In city driving the 7 speed transmission seems to change frequently but on the hwy it is really smooth. This would be my only complaint.

I traded a 2005 FX35 for the 2009 FX35. At first I wasn't crazy about the looks but the much improved interior and ride comfort outweighed appearance. Now after having the car a month I really think it's cool. I really loved my 2005 and would have kept it had Infiniti not made such great improvements.
Best SUV I've ever driven

Traded my 2006 Acura MDX for 2009 FX35. Tried 2009 MDX- didn't like it. FX drives almost like a sports car, not like an SUV. Great handling, nav. system and back up camera are beyond belief, great leg room. Exterior is unbelievable, looks very aggressive. In my opinion, FX beats MDX hands down, except, of course, for the utility part. Luggage room is practically non-existent. Two weeks ago I drove six people and 5 suitcases in my MDX. Definitely won't be able to do it in FX. Other than that it's an unbelievable vehicle!

Loved the look of the FX from day one. There is no vehicle on the road that can match the unique exterior design. Had to have one.
