Infiniti FX Review - Kelley Blue Book

[thePussysniffer]

a diesel one is much better

[areyoucerealtube]

I've had my FX35 for only a year and couldn't be more pleased. A few days after I got it I drove 8 hours across the state in the pouring rain. However I felt extremely comfortable and safe the whole way. Personally, I think the handling feels almost just as good as the G35 (coupe). Aside from the car functioning well, I get many compliments on the looks and brick interior color.

The only SUV with attractive Visually, Mechanically, and Sound

[scaremengaviation]

Airplane cockpits look nothing like that.

[pattycarljackson]

this cra is sexxy i love infiniti 

[Kirby33311]

I love my FX. Quality all the way around. I can't believe that anyone would seriously compare a dodge anything to this car. I've had to drive a Dodge Magnum as a rental car at work, and there is no comparison. It was like driving a bathtub on wheels. But then I didn't take it camping or try to sleep in it. I've never taken my FX off road, nor do I ever intend to, so if that's a concern then I guess I could see a problem, but to each his own.

[Razor4ever]

How are the brakes on the car and the turning radius, Im planning to have one in europe and we brake a lot during driving, we also have tight roads here so we need a good turning radius.

????

[ccolivardia]

@Razor4ever brakes are good, turning radius , its about the diameter of the earth, it kinda sux and i live in florida lol, we have big fat roads and sutff, but it is the most comfy car like, ever, amazing value for the price of a used one, and it will never break down, we have had our FX for 6 years and we only had to change the belt once and chane the oil regularly, and there were dashboard defects from 2005 and 2006 models , but if u take it to inifiniti they will repair it for free

[dukviper90]

@ccolivardia it also burns oil..

[carocarotho]

SUV Is Dead

orgasm



[TheJerkyKing]

Turns Heads... Because it's so freakin' ugly. I test drove one, and ended up buying a Dodge Magnum, it drove better and had way better gas mileage. We have also taken it camping and slept in it. And I'm 6'1". Waste of money. My full load Magnum cost 30 G's less. And will kick this things ass at a stop light.

[fataldesain]

@TheJerkyKing thanks for the laugh, you said dodge and you were serious. I just got an 03 for 9K and I love it. If owned a dodge whatever it would worth nothing in a few years. Most people looking at this car are not considering an american car.

[proudsubaruwrxowner]

@TheJerkyKing if you think this car is ugly and you drive a magnum then i wonder what your girl looks like

[z20no2]

it's a good thing it has lane departure warning, intelligent cruise control, and brake assist, because i really can't be bothered with driving while i'm driving. could use a little more ground clearance, though, for when i take it off-road and pull into my garage.

[sano514]

hows the gas milage? anyone plz ?

[kbb]

@sano514 The Infiniti FX with the V6 gets about 16mpg city and 23mpg highway and the V8 gets about 14/20. If you have a heavy foot, expect around 17mpg in mixed driving.

[HarpZ321]

@sano514 

[HarpZ321]

@sano514 teri ma di

[snapnrool]

@sano514 ive got a heavy foot and average 20.9 mixed

[rusty19gk]

What milage can u get out of full a tank of gas ? - fx35

. I drive a camry at the time, it does around 400mi on a full tank, round 16gal. Just wanted to compare

[Tzar1395]

If I could have any car, this would be in the top5

[gb10100]

bought a infiniti and then a lexus. horrible, horrible. the quality could of been better. but the service really fucking pissed me off. now i have a cts and a mkx... so much better quality

[xiaobai88888]

I have one and I'm trying to figure out how to stop the seats from automatically moving every time the key is put in/out. Or at least changing how the seat moves.

Anyone figured this out?

[maheshcx]

@xiaobai88888 maybe a memory setting?

[maybach6536]

try setting the memory differently

[Kirby33311]

I have an FX 45 with the nav system. In one of the drill down menus for car settings you can disable this feature. I'm 6' tall, so it's a feature that I really like though.

[bdub24j]

Funny. I used to think this was one ugly looking vehicle. A friend had one I called "das boot." Not as in "the boat", but because it reminded me of a high top boot or a Converse sneaker (being sporty)...and then I rode in it. Been hooked ever since.

Ha, it still has that Converse sneaker look to me at times, but even that shoe is a timeless classic. Look forward to maybe owning and driving my own 'das boot' someday.

[Vanes1236]

I dream to have such a wonderful car!But, I have stupid Ssang Yong Kyron. IT REALLY SUCKS DO NOT BUY IT!!!

[lpkev]

Can it tow ?

[4043724425]

Hell YEAHH!!!

[Kirby33311]

it's rated to tow 3500 lbs. I tow a 20 foot ski boat but only about town to and from the ramp. I wouldn't really want to take this on the road for any distance with that load behind it. But the vehicle I was using in the past was a Dodge Ram 2500 cummins turbo diesel, and that thing would pull anything.

One thing that was really disconcerting is that with the fx you can hear the hitch moving. Something that with the diesel Dodge you couldn't do

[ChicosAddict]

I have been driving and loving my FX35 for 3yrs now. It has given me ZERO problems, still turns heads, and is fun to drive. You'll feel safe in this vehicle too...haven't seen too many comment on that. If that is as important to you as style and function, no worries.

[dongh1217]

well said

[JaBunGa23]

is there any difference between the 35 and 45 other than the engine

[mikejohncooper]

FX45 comes standard with the sport package (suspension is stiffer and has 20" wheels)

[maheshcx]

@JaBunGa23 yeah.. some standard features

[gissina]

Great review!!

[khanmario9]

Im sorry, i can afford this, but its just overpriced for what it is. I'd rater get an audi q7, My uncle owns a porshe cayenne turbo s . Its very nice, meant to be sporty but not luxury.

[speedmaster001]

I just bought a black obsidian fully loaded sports FX35 AWD complete with technology package, lane departure system, tilt / telescopic steering & controls, and other gizmos. It turns heads but most importantly handles like a cheetah with its powerful engines. I'm loving it...

[jamada07]

hey speedmaster001, how much did u pay for the FX35 AWD or how much do u pay monthly for the car. i also want to buy it.

[speedmaster001]

I got an Internet deal from Legacy Infiniti, the largest dealership in the US of a certified pre-owned with very low mil @ 16K mi, excellent condition originally on promotional sale at $35K. With good bargaining, I got it for $33K including the APR and taxes. Made a down payment of $12K and a monthly of $350. Not a bad deal.

[TheMakingsofMyself]

O wow you got it pre-owned with a nice down payment. You got a good deal!

[BB4liffe]

Damn, dude have u driven a FX lately? I have a LX470 with V8 n when I drove d FX45 my pants got wet littteralllllyyyy LMAO")).RX sucks ballzzzz compare to this beast lol.

[youmils03]

Standard features include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, 10-way power driver seat, 8-way power passenger seat, memory system, premium sound system, rearview camera, outside-temperature indicator, power liftgate.

[jvrdlc]

id rather get da lexus RX better car, n top of its class

[joeyisballer]

the fx is meant for sport, not luzury

[JaBunGa23]

exactly

[JaBunGa23]

the rx is kinda ugly now.....

[mustswim123]

But the fx45 is a gorgeous piece of SUV

[juanpablofx]

since when was the power sunroof an option? I thought it was standard on all models since introduction.

[LawBoy25]

It's still looks good it's so futuristic, no wonder the 2009 model looks over done in the front. If this one had the 09s interior that would have been enough. Love their exhaust notes, no one does that like Infiniti.

[youmils03]

Competitors include the Lincoln MKX, Cadillac SRX, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz ML, BMW X5, and Porsche Cayenne.

[youmils03]

My mom just bought a used 2008 Infiniti FX45, and she loves it.

[youmils03]

I was talking about the 2009. The 2008 FX35 competes with the Cayenne base, the 2008 FX45 competes with the Cayenne S, the 2009 FX35 competes with the Cayenne S, and the 2009 FX50 competes with the Cayenne GTS. They need a super FX, a REALLY impressive one.

[youmils03]

Standard features of the FX35 include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, emrmoy system, 6-disc CD changer, Bose radio, power liftgate, rearview camera, outside-temperature indicator, and compass. the 2008 FX45 adds on remote engine start, keyless access and start, wireless cell phone link, universal garage door opener, and power sunroof.

[youmils03]

I meant "memory system" lol

[youmils03]

"The soccer mom sports car" Everyone in my town drives those and Lexus LX570's.

[youmils03]

Having this been put on Youtube two weeks ago, you'd think that they'd have the new FX, the uglier but cooler FX.

[youmils03]

Infiniti FX=

Better than Mercedes-Benz ML

Better than BMW X5

Better than Lexus RX

Better than Lincoln MKX

Tying with Porsche Cayenne

Tying with Cadillac SRX

Worse than Audi R8

[youmils03]

sorry, I meant "Audi Q7", not "Audi R8"

[skippyx31]

lmao, i actually thought u were comparin the R8 to the FX35, lol. till i saw ur second comment. and the Q7 and Porsche Cayenne are the same platform, so i think theyre both horrible cars.

[youmils03]

Why do you not like the Q7 and Cayenne? How about the standard leather upholstery? Sporty ride?

[skippyx31]

Infiniti has the sportiest ride out of all them. Technology is amazin in it too. too nice if u ask me.

[youmils03]

I agree. The interior of the Infiniti FX35 is luxurious and somewhat sporty. The FX35 competes with the Porsche Cayenne S while the FX50 competes with the Cayenne GTS. Standard features of the 2008 FX35 (my Consumer Guide test book only has 2008 models, I assume more would be added for 2009) include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, etc.

[skippyx31]

i love that car. its so nice. my dads friend let me drive his, and it was so comfortable. and like i was bein massaged in the chair.

[youmils03]

Yep. It's a good car.

[RossEnzo]

PORSCHE CAYENNE BETTER

[fhumayun]

seems to have a dated look in this video...

[HDTopGear]

that the old FX
