Good car.

Electronics are different and not easy to understand. Seat controls on wrong side due to limited room. Plenty of power and comfort. Hard on fuel.

Excellent car, very safe, reliable. Just Excellen

The car met all my needs, went back & forth to work. Traveled out of town. No problem. It was traded in because of the mileage, had over 350, 000 miles. Wanted to get another.

Great looking car!

This is a great car for me and my two kids. Reliable and dependable! I use it also for communting everyday and it always fires right up with no issues. Just general maintenance but no big issues. Put almost 10000 miles on it in 4 months just to travel this summer and it has been great. Had issues with the radio though since I bought it and it still does not work. Have nice bluetooth speaker so I use that!:)

Abosolutely love my car!

The car has met and even exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a used car and for my budget, this one had the best features and had low mileage for its age. I love the exterior and interior design and I really feel I got the best quality for the money invested.

A True Sports SUV

With the technology and styling of a 2010-15 era vehicle, the 2005 FX35 was ahead of its time. Adaptive cruise control with automatic braking adds piece of mind. The suspension is stiff, and the car corners as fast as you let it. The 5-speed transmission doesn't help with fuel economy, but it does make for very responsive acceleration at any speed. This car is not governed and can reach 137mph!

Fx35 is nice but not perfect

I now am in the 15th month owning one, spent $3000.00 on repairs. Had 135k miles when purchased.I believe a woman once owned it. She did not take care of it. So left me with the repairs. Valve cover gaskets were $1000.00 total. Front brakes $600.00. Alternator $800.00. Battery $125.00. What do you think? "California owner" 2005 fx 35, hate beemers!

Very sporty and fun to drive.

Probably the best engine that Nissan has ever made. Nice features like adaptive cruise control, all power and sunroof. Sports car in an SUV. Unique body styling launched by Infinity in the early 2000?s. The 5-speed Automatic transmission is much better than the CVT put in later models as is the 3.5L naturally aspirated engine.
