I’m now on year 12 of owning this car.

I’m now on year 12 of owning this car. Hands down, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s reliable and has required very little maintenance. My Honda costs me a lot more to maintain than this car. It’s over 100k miles and still going strong. Plus, the resale on this car is impressive! This was my first Infiniti and certainly won’t be the last.

Great car for me

I bought a '12 ex35 used in 2015 and kept it almost 8 years. It is a great car and I never had any issues with it other than maintenance (tires,battery, brakes). I would have kept it but it was just a bit on the small side. The 2012 tech is a good mix of usable tech and old-school hard buttons/dials. With bluetooth and a good phone holder I could use the bose system just fine for WAZE etc w/o carplay. I debated keeping the car as a second car because it is so good/reliable but decided to let it go for something larger. If interior size and trunk space is not an issue for you this is a great car.

My favorite car I've ever owned

It is so much fun to drive. It is sporty but practical and gorgeous. It is so well made and looks brand new. I have owned Mercedes and Lexus and this is hands down my favorite. It is perfect in every way. I couldn't be happier with it.

small suv

My wife loved this car. It sits high but it's small enough to get around without bumping into stuff. It is fast. The interior it super lux.

Great Car

I have my ex35 for 7 yrs now and it is still brand new to me and it works like a charm. When people sees the car they think it is two yrs old. No regrets at all

I smile every time I drive it

I bought this car used from a coworker. Have had it for 6 months. What a great car. Handles well, lots of power, and even though 6 years old, looks like new inside and out. Don't buy if you need lots of room, but for 2 empty nesters and a dog it is fine. Very comfortable front seats allow for long drives with no sore back. I am taking good care of it as I hope to drive it for a long time.

Best Crossover Vehicle in the Luxury Car Market

The EX35 is an exceptional vehicle. It is comfortable, drives smooth, has exceptional power, loaded with features and extremely reliable. It is NOT a SUV. If you want a sports car feel with great room for golf clubs and other sporting equipment this is the car for you. If you want a SUV buy something else. I get a good laugh when I read reviews that complain about the lack of room in the back seat. This isn't the car you want to load up 5 people and drive 300 miles. It is not the car you take to Home Depot for plants and mulch. This is a performance crossover vehicle that is practical if you are an active adult. The rear cargo area is adequate but that isn't the primary metric for this car.
