2006 Infiniti FX35 review from North America
"Infiniti has made me a believer in Japanese engineering!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
My fiance wanted a new car after having a Passat for almost five years. Infiniti offered us an outrageous lease deal (1 year, 0% APR $513/mo, $1500 down!!!). This offer was too good to refuse and I've always been partial to the FX.
I had no idea just how much quality was standard in a vehicle of this price rage. Simply phenominal from the salesmen to the bells n' whistles standard on this crossover. I drive a 2006 BMW Z4 and was ashamed by how many more features her car had compared with mine while she's paying $150 less per month.
We opted for the FX35 V6 (very adequate) and the pickup and exhaust note are awesome. We chose the premium package which has everything (except for the wood aluminum combo) that the FX45 has, including 20 wheels. I have never bought a Japanese car, but am thinking about trading in the Bimmer and going Infiniti. Quality purchase. BTW insurance is considerably kinder to a crossover SUV than to a two seat German roadster. Rearview monitor and standard navigation for under 50k...you can't beat it. It's a lease so my tune might change if I actually had to shell out money for maintaining this car, but nonetheless, two thumbs up!!
