Default Got a new Infiniti FX35, any other FX owners?

I just picked up this new FX35, and I gotta tell you, it drives like a sports car. I would rather take the FX then my Cayenne S. Any other owner opinions?

oooo beautiful white one I don't own one, but I did see one in Los Angeles. It was on a slightly elevated parking lot and backing out of a spot slowly. Its wheels were about eye level. That was the first time a fx really really caught my attention. It was white too, with some satin black fancy thin spoke rims that looked beautiful on it. I looked it up online to see if Infiniti offered that black rim. It turns out it was 1 out of the 100 produced, limited edition fx50s .. but then, it says they are all in UK , so I'm not sure.... either way . IMHO some black rims on there and it'll be a very perfect stylish piece.

I've owned an '03 and '06 FX 45 and now have an'09 FX50 daily driver. Opted not for the "S" on the 50--over the top on gizmos. I avg 18-19mpg and enjoy the high level of "sport" though the "utility" is undoubtedly secondary. They have all been reliable and each versionhas "imiproved" over the earlier. Will be interested in seeing the Porsche "Cajun" (QX-5 based) as even the new Cayenne's just don't interest me.

I also has an fx45. Fun to drive, very reliable but once child #2 came along I traded it... Rear seats and storage were just too small for me. Had it for a short 2 yrs...

I much prefer the old body style over the new catfish front look, but that said, either series is far better looking and more sporty than the usual SUV fare out there.

Congrats!

That is a pretty hot looking car.

I just bought an '04 for my daughter. Yes, it is a fine driving automobile. It is based on the Z-car platform. I am very impressed at the build quality for a 7 year old car with over 100k miles.

My GF bought her's new in 06 & it currently has around 118k on it. It has performed absolutely flawlessly since delivery, though we have kept it serviced beyond manufacturer recommendations. Even though we bought the X5 diesel last year to replace it, it has stayed with us because it's just great to have around.... By comparison, the beemer has been in and out of the dealership for various emissions issues.

These are truly great SUV's. I must admit that I'm not a fan of the revised body style, though I've driven the new one & like the upgrades to the interior.

congrats!

I too prefer the looks of the old style but you can't beat the reliability. I know a guy that put 126K on his in 3 years with zero issues.

I had an '05 FX35 and liked the car's looks and reliability, but I found driving it kind of dull. I sold it and bought a 993

Thanks for commenting guys...
I actually prefer the new body...I like the Mean Shark look
I would love to put black rims on it, but I dont like to spend too much money on a leased car.
Compared to a 993, all SUVs are dull , thats why you need both ...

cheers!

Had a 2003 FX45 for about 4 years, really liked it. I may get another in a few years.
