2004 Infiniti FX35

Pros: Excellent price, performance, interior, features and rear and side visibility (for SUV)
Cons: Mediocre ride with Sport Package, SUV-like visibility of close-to-wheels areas

I have been driving the I nfiniti FX35 for the last two days as a loaner from my dealership while rattles in my I nfiniti G35 are being cured. Taking the FX35 up a curvy ...

Pros: Great styling, engine, handling, fuel economy. Great value for the money.
Cons: Ride can be harsh, technology package is hideously expensive.

My girlfriend was in need of a new car. She wanted something with good safety, all wheel drive, and enough extra cargo capacity that dogs and furniture could be transported with ease. She wanted something with upscale features like power leather heated ...

Pros: Visually stunning, powerful, safe car. 1 year of ownership, no repair issues.
Cons: Auto climate control turns on A/C in winter. Other small items.

I love this car. I bought my FX35 AWD one year ago and even now, a year later, I still have a grin on my face every day as I walk up and get in. Besides exotic cars, like Ferrari, et. al., this car is the most visually stunning on the road. -- And ...

Pros: Styling, acceleration, braking, exhaust note, handling
Cons: Maddening controls and control layout

If one was to rate the FX35's "head turning quotient" On a scale of 1 to 10, one would have to give it a 15. I have never owned a car that has turned heads, stretched necks, and generated even close to the amount of interest of the FX35. Typical ...

Pros: Extreme Sport Truck Experience
Cons: Absolutely Brutal Ride

Watching an Infiniti FX zooming across the television screen in a commercial, evoked within me the excitement I had during the 1960's viewing muscular designs of the Corvette, XKE, Avanti or even the Toronado. I couldn't afford buying a new car back ...

Pros: Awesome handling, back up camera, keyless entry and out of the box (literally) styling.
Cons: Some storage, not tons. Seats/arm rest makes my arm go numb on long trips.

After driving a '97 Ford Expedition (an awesome vehicle), I decided it was time to downsize. But I still needed some space and a sedan wouldn't do. And I wouldn't be caught dead in a mini van (no offense, but it's just not me). So off I went to shop. ...

Pros: A huge head turner, I feel like a celebrity in this car.
Cons: The disclosure when the navigation system is turned on is annoying.

The body is beautiful, the sleek design and chrome accents scream "Look at me." i have the navigation system and the added 11 speaker Bose system and the music quality is great. A bigger steering wheel would be nice for better handling. But other than that i love it!!!

Pros: Absolutely Sexy Design with a desire to Run hard to it's death
Cons: Terrible seat control location - hurting my legs. Bouncy stiff ride.

I just bought it a week ago and my side legs are already hitting the poorly located seat controls. I am 6'3" and maybe that's the problem.

The car is a B E A S T. It wants to be set free and run hard (kind of like a big dog in a small apartment).

I have the Touring packing with NO SPORT Package and let me tell you - THE CAR HAS A STIFF RIDE. It's certainly no Camry. However, it's not that bad.

Gas MPG has been around 17.

I like a smooth ride and this is not it. I hate the seat controls. I gave the car to my wife and she likes it so I'm going to drive our 2000 Camry over this 2004 Infiniti because of it's stiff ride and poorly located seat controls.

I am very very disappointed.

I have been singing Cher's song, "If I could turn back time..."

Pros: Unique design. Gas mileage. Performance. Quality.
Cons: No windshield HUD (pontiac grand prix), No seat massagers (hyundai santa fe).

Elegant car, great performance, handling and surprisingly good gas mileage. Best car I've ever owned. Have yet to see another one like it (liquid copper). My salesman told me not to bother with the sport package as the handling is too rough, but I did fall in love with the backup camera and the electronic navigation. I've used the navigation to plan a 500 mile route and it worked perfectly.

I bought the FX35 rather then the FX45 because the FX35 has more then enough power for me, plus the FX45 had a V8, and with the gas prices being what they are I didn't want to be filling up more then once a week.

I was originally looking at buying the BMW X3, but a couple reviews mentioned that you get more car for the money with the FX35.

The rear seats don't have as much room as one would expect in an SUV, but the only people in it ever are me, my wife, and our infant. I usually keep my cars for about 7 years, so I don't see that being an issue during the life of the car.

Forget all the other pickup body "SUVs".

Pros: Solid Handling, Quick, Fun to Drive
Cons: Parts for Needed Repairs are not Available; Visibility in rear not great

This is a great car to drive. Quick, solid handling, smooth ride for a car of its type. And the distinctive styling is obvious. BUT- I wouldn't buy another one now. I was rear-ended 2 months ago, and the car is still at the body shop while needed parts remain on backorder. Apparently Nissan makes enough parts for the new production, but not enough to service those already on the road. For a high end car I find this terribly frustrating. You never anticipate something like this (it won't happen to me), but you expect that the manufacturer will not sell out the people who have already purchased the cars. No more Infiniti's for me.
