Replying to: pharmboy3 (Apr 01, 2008 12:16 pm) I like the CUV concept. I saw the early brochures for the EX35, so I went to the dealer. It's a beautiful vehicle, but I went away very disappointed at it's small size. I couldn't fit in the driver seat! I'm 6'4" and my head actually hit the head liner (had the moon roof). This is with the power seat completely lowered and fully back. The only way I could sit in the drivers seat is with the seat reclined, which is uncomfortable. I prefer driving in a more up-right position. I drive a Mazda CX-7 with the tech package (moon roof included) and I don't have any problem with fit. I tried the FX-35 and it's roomier, but the price tag is out of reach for my wallet.  I'll have to save my pennies and wait to see what the market produces in the future! Vince.

Replying to: boldchrome (Apr 07, 2008 12:07 pm) So sorry to hear about your issues. I bought my EX35 a few days after Christmas, and have 6500 miles on it already (I have to commute to Dayton each week). I've have been delighted with the car - very comfortable for the long rides, and handled well in the nasty winter this year in Cleveland. So while it has been a rotten experience for you, I have to believe this is an exception, not the rule. This is the 3rd Inifiniti I have owned (2 were leased, this one is a purchase due to the high miles I need to drive). I have had a Lexus and a Volvo in the past. The service at Infiniti has always been outstanding in comparison. Best of luck resolving your problem. I'd really press the dealer further on the free loaner issue. |

Women with tight skirts need not apply, I would guess. |

Sales of the EX for April were 949. Four-month total is 4,010. What should one make of that? Do those figures make it a hit or is it just coming close to meeting Infiniti's expectations? Any thoughts, anyone? |

According to an industry analyst: "The Infiniti EX, the brand's newest entry in the luxury crossover segment, was the Division's best-selling truck in April with 949 units sold."

Hello all, I've dreamed about owning an FX35 for a while now. Earlier this month I finally started shopping on the internet and discovered Infiniti now makes the EX35. I've scheduled a test drive for Friday, weather permitting. The salesman has quoted me prices on both vehicles and the price is within a few hundred dollars of each other. I will be driving alone probably 90% of the time and Hubby and I are empty nesters so I will seldom have back seat passengers. Will you please tell me the pros and cons of the two vehicles? I'll also post this question on the FX35 forum. One last thing. What is the Aerodynamic Kit?

Your Friday drive will readily reveal the pros and cons of each because they are designed for different demographics and are different sizes. Caution on the FX: Infiniti has a freshened model out that closely resembles the previous one. Make sure you know which FX you are driving and if the price applies to the new one or old one. |

Replying to: mspecan (May 14, 2008 12:00 pm) The EX is much more luxuriously appointed, and I really like all of the bells and whistles. I am driving a lot now (I got my car at the end of December and already have 8300 miles on it!!) I find the creature comforts to be helpful with all of the long drives. I have not noticed significantly better gas mileage though - overall, I'm averagin 21.6 mi/gal - not much better than the FX. And comsidering all of the highway driving I'm now doing, I thought it would be better. From what you described, I think you would like the EX. But if you need the extra cargo area, you're better off with the FX - it is definitely smaller. Good luck on your decision. |

I purchased a new EX35 with everything but Technology package. Two days after taking delivery I decided to take it to a Touch less car wash. When the jets went over the roof, water started to come in the car. Not a lot, but noticeable. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the roof. Tried it again, and same thing happened. I returned it again and they gave me a loaner EX. Tried that one in the same car wash, and same issue. Tried a different touch less wash, and same thing. I just got a call from Infiniti consumer services and they are telling me the car is performing to "Specifications", and that it should not be washed in a high pressure touch less car wash. That is "CRAP ! I have had many other vehicles with sunroofs, and NEVER has any leaked in ANY car wash. There is obviously something wrong with the design , and I can not believe Infiniti would give me this type of answer. I otherwise LOVE the vehicle, but to me this is a major issue. Have any other EX owners out there experienced the same problem? Could someone give it a try and let me know your results? Thanks, Ron
