2005 INFINITI FX35 User Reviews

Best Car I Have Ever Owned! — A very sporty car that is a ton of fun to drive. It has an incredible exhaust sound and has the power/speed to back it up. A very comfortable ride for everyday driving. Being a Nissan product it is also very reliable and easy to maintain.

Best All Around Car I've Owned — I was a little hesitant about buying this car, but was glad I did. It is the best all around car I've owned. It sits up higher than a car, the seats are very comfortable, tons of cabin room and not to mention the car is so much fun to drive. My bad mpg may be because I couldn't keep my foot out of the accelerator.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Very Sporty Suv —

Drives and handles like a sports car. I was very surprised when I tested it out how fun it is to drive. I also like the stereo system -- good sounding. I bought it used with 40k miles and so far no problems, no squeaks, rattles or problems except the CD player skips easy when the car is cold. I think the seats are comfortable, but not really a fan of the controls next to the center. I also don't care for the memory seat buttons being on the side of the seat near the door. Tought to reach for me and my wife. The appearance is good, but not great. I get a lot of "what is it?" but not much "wow!" from it, unless people get inside. Everyone likes the interior. MPG is decent, at about 19-20 on the highway and 16ish in town/mixed. These are my manual calculations. Computer is not too far off most of the time. I had a 2001 QX4 and the FX is a little better. Storage space is not as good as the QX4, but it hauls groceries, luggage for 3 people and most items that we need to haul. The visibility is also not that good. I am used to using my mirrors, but it took my wife a little while to get used to the blind spots. We also removed the headrests in the back. My son is 8 and his head is below the level of the rests, anyway. I would recommend this car if you want sporty handling, but need AWD and a little bit of clearance. Honestly, I wanted a G35x, but my wife likes to sit up a little higher and we drive to visit family that live on an unimproved road. She probably likes the car a little better overall than I do.

My Ride — I really enjoy this car. Its just enough to keep me out of trouble, yet it is still a load of fun. I was forced off the road a few weeks back and ended up in 3 inches of mud. Low center of gravity prevented a roll over. Its great.

I Love My Car. It's Ugly But Well Hung. Lol — great handling (drives like asports car) , great in the snow , and it has a great exhaust sound.
