Great performance, handles like a sports car. Sports/Technology package is exceptional. GPS, intelligent cruise control, DVD player, camera in the rear bumper, lock/unlock/start the vehicle without using the actual key, sports suspension with 20 tires/wheels. Last and one of the best items in the FX-45 is the XM-Satellite radio. Hooked into the Bose system sounds fantastic. Look forward to taking the long way to wherever I'm going. Highly recommend this vehicle and all the goodies that go with it.

After driving every SUV & crossover out there, this one blew me away! Distinct look, sports car feel with the ability to do much more. A real wolf in sheep-like clothing. Test drive it and you WILL take 1 home!!!
it is a good car to buy, drive and keep

The FX-35 is one hot car. Unfortunately, I've discovered mine to be a bucket of bolts. At 2K miles, it was in to the shop for numerous rattles and I am now returning about every 3 weeks for additional rattles inside the doors, rear hatch and in the dashboard. I ahve a 95 Ford Explorer with 140K miles and its as tight as the day that I bought it - no rattles or squeks, and I can't figure out why a $40K Infiniti with less than 5K miles rattles excessively. I'd think twice about buying the FX 35-45....

I've had this vehicle for 6 months and it never ceases to amaze. I'm used to driving the likes of M3s and A4s, consider myself a true enthusiast, and I enjoy every minute of driving the FX. It does it all: it's quick, handles like a 540, and out-brakes a 911! I drove a Cayenne that cost over $20k more, but the FX blows it away and has more features. You won't believe it until you drive it.

Enjoyable vehicle, great features, maybe I should expect some glitches in the first production year. warping of hatchback and a non functional sun roof and intermittent malfunction of the nav system do not bode well for long term durability. Hope this car last because I am enjoying every other feature.

Very quick for a heavy unit. Power eat controls should br movrd and allow for a wider seat without sitting on a plastic housing. fun to drive. Steering is sensitive may be more so than other rack and pinion systems. In town mileage suck but the car is too new.

We traded in our Honda Odyssey Van to get the FX35. The back had to be big enough to fit our son's hockey goalie gear. It fits perfectly. We get all kinds of stares and finger pointing wherever we go. The ride is great, the gadgets are intriging and the driver's seat hugs you like a glove. Infinit has outdone itself. We also have a G35.We are proud owners of a F and G.

Maybe its my age, and maybe it just needed something exciting in my life but this car knocked my socks off. It is such a kick to drive and the interest it gets when I drive it make it a treat every time I drive to work. Id write more, but suddenly, I feel like a drive.

I am not very happy with my new car. When i step on the gas the whole car hesitates and jerks. the radio is static constantly. DOesn't matter what station i have on. The CD sound system is nice. I love the look. BUT IT IS A GAS PIG.

The FX45 offers alot of room. I am 6'9" and there are not alot of cars that provide power, interior room and performance that satisfied me. I had an M3...performance, but no room, I tried a Suburban...room, but no performance. Infiniti got the combination right with the FX45. Unique styling, performance, room where someone can actually sit behind me, makes this SPORTCAR utility vehicle the most practical fun car to drive.

Finally a Japanese vehicle with a German soul. After owning a X5 3.0, I thought SUV market reached it's highest point in terms performance and styling. Suprise! Suprise! the FX35 not only out performs the X5 but out shines it styling and features. It's a G35 on steriods. A think outside the box vehicle. Thank you Infiniti for addressing all my Vehicle needs.

I have driven one BMW model or other for the past 8 years and thought that I would be driving them for a long long time to come until I found this car/suv/crossover whatever it is. It is an amazing car and really fun to drive. It looks as aggresive as any car on the road and has engine, suspension and tires to live up to its appearance.

As I waited for several months for the car to arrive to the dealership, the anticipation waned. Then after stepping in the vehicle of my choice, the growl of the engine, the thrust and jolt of my head backwards and the thrill that followed, made the wait worth while.Head turning admirers solidified my assurances that I 've made the right choice in my newwfound love.Ahhhh, move over 'cause I'm coming through.
Great vehicle to drive

I have never owned a vehicle that was so much fun to drive. I spend a lot of time in my vehicle and never feel tired from driving. It is one incredible vehicle. Only thing I don't like is the service. They should definitely have pick up and delivery service!!

Have FX45, Copper, with tech package and Dvd. Love the handling, power and style. Great car so far, but have not had it that long so stay tuned! Not happy at all with Infinty service, I'm a soldier (Col) working overseas and there is no warranty coverage for us over here??!! Love the veh, but Infinity you need to fix this ASAP! Also, VW, BMW, MERCEDES... Can build a Nav system that works both overseas and in the states! This is almost 2005 and you mean to tell me that Infinity does not have the know how to do the same??!! Great, great veh but some things are beyond reason. When you sell this thing, make sure your dealers say it's for the State only.

I wanted a crossover SUV with a wonderful navigation system and all the interior luxury gadgets -- my husband liked the power and styling of the FX. I test drove the FX and fell in love -- now I sometimes let my husband drive it, too. It's a Great Big Sportscar that's so much fun on the freeway it just begs to take you touring. Did I mention how much I love it?

Love the handling and power and all the stuffs with Tech Package. I think this is the only sports car for family. While my daught is watching DVD on the back, I can race with the teenagers in their Civic. If you have a family with kid but still want a sports car. This one is for you. Excellent car, so much fun to drive.

One week old, just under 400 miles put on it. It handles great, hugs the road, the premium package is a smoother ride than the sport package. Both are acceptable, you have to drive it and see for yourself. Power is more than adequate. Though still under breakin, the few times where the rpms have gotten near 4000, it seems to want to really start to pull from their and up. Overall, an outstanding vehicle!

This is a wonderful vehicle. It replaces my wife's QX-4 but it's personality is completely different. Same Infiniti build quality in what is basically a tall 5-passenger AWD 350Z. What's not to like? Suspension needs a comfort setting and parking brake should be a fly-off type - not the stupid pedal that bumps your shin. Otherwise it's perfectionin motion.

FX45 has the roughest ride imaginable on the frost heaves of the Northeast. Really great seats keeps one planted while being bounced about. On a smooth interstate it's a veritable speed wagon; very exhilarating and a blast to drive. This ain't no SUV;nor is it a luxury touring car.

My wife and I purchased a FX45 with the Tech Pkg this last weekend. This vehicle replaced out Boxster S. Some may consider it blasphemy, but we honestly think that the FX45 is just as fun to drive. Handling is amazing for a vehicle with so much utility and style.

When I was making my decision between the Cayenne and the FX45 the decision was easy. This Cross Sport is the best thing to happen to SUV's. My wife and I just spent the weekend in SF and all heads turned when we went by. This car is one to compare to when purchasing a Cross Sport!

This is the fastest, most fun to drive, SUV I have ever owned. This vehicle gets stares from onlookers. All it took was one look and a test drive to know this thing is something special. If you want a smooth slug, buy a Lexus. If you want to kick some booty, buy an FX45. It is not for the timid, but if you love to drive and need some utility, this is the one.

Overall the best non-coupe sports type vehicle I've ever driven. The handling and power and second to none. I tested the porche suv and found the overall package to be inferior to the infiniti. And the best styling on the road to boot.

Down sizing from a Land Cruiser. Just right for the family (wife and 2 boys). Tech package is a must so kids tolerate longer trips. Don't get this SUV if you can't tolerate being noticed. I used to fly everywhere now I am driving alot more (still flying but at a lower altitude.

WOW! Found the perfect combination I have been looking for, a little bit of my 300ZX turbo and my 95 Pathfinder. Fast, nimble, quiet (except for nice exhaust note), firm but not too firm ride and great build quality not too big not too small.

I have owned my fx45 for six months. I now feel more qualified to rate it. I am pleased with it's performance and style. I am not happy with the dealership that I purchased the car from. In my opinion they are dishonest & of poor character. basically, they lack the integrity that I would expect from a luxury car dealer. And to top that, their service is terrible. I would suggest that one would check a dealership out before commiting to a purchase. I bought mine in Orange County, CA (dealership name witheld, they know who they are)

I'd planned to keep my '93 Q45a forever for its great handling, power and comfort. Finally found a reason to trade. The FX45 is a extremely satisfying on all accounts- handles like a sports car, accelerates like a rocket, outrageous good looks, tight ride. Very comfortable seats. My teen-age son loves the 20 inch wheels and excellent sound system-woofer in the spare tire! Great value.

Excuse me please but what is happening in the car market, I was so use to driving european cars throughout my life but now it has all changed european cars have lost the market the japanese cars are just amazing I just traded in my wifes BMW for the wonderful LEXUS SC430 and I just got the FX45 and they are beautifull cars I tell you they are amazing my rims on my truck alone I dream of at night yes 20"s. The inside are very well done in the infinti and the lexus with all those toys GPS, DVD, Camera's and the best thing is that they are just as safe as any of those Volvo european cars. Japanese have really took over the market and I congratulate them.

I've had my FX45 a little over a month now and it is awesome! The baddest car on the block. The seat kicks you in the seat, so to speak, it stops on a dime and corners on rails. The laser cruise control is very cool - it even applies the brakes. The Intelligent Key system is great. Seat memories associate themselves with the remotes. I get in: seat moves to my settings. My wife gets in, it adjusts itself to her settings. Back seats are very comfortable - the reclining backs eliminate the major complaint I have about the rear seating in most sport utes. The Nav system and electronics are fantastic, but require some time with the manuals.
I love my fx45

The new FX35 AWD really rocks! Don't bother with the 20 in wheels and sport suspension; the base 18 in wheels are plenty for this vehicle and still look huge. Less utility than an MDX but a lot more performance! The 6 cylinder (Z) engine seems as quick as the V8 so save your money and gas!

finally a car that has the power i desire without sacrificing size or interior cabin space. Is it a car is it an s.u.v, it's the best of both worlds. Styling is modern to say the least but the standard features made my decision a no brainer over the x5. Infiniti is continuing to raise the bar, continully asking the competition to "beat this"!
