Buy a used one if you can

Just bought this 2003 FX45 from my neighbor who is a mechanic. I needed a commuter vehicle so I wouldn’t mile out my expensive diesel truck. Was looking for something inexpensive and cheap on fuel. I got it for a very good price but the fuel isn’t cheap and I DONT CARE BECAUSE I LOVE DRIVING THIS THING. 195000 kilometres and it’s still a rocket on rails for what it is. 21 years old and the body style is still relevant and gets looks. I love driving to and from work with the comfort and the premium sound system. The number of adjustments on the driver seat is awesome. Only wish it had a heated steering wheel like my truck. If you can find a used one that’s well taken care of then buy it!!

Reliable car

We love this car as a family vehicle, I t’s not only great as a family vehicle with a big trunk and comfortable seats it could also be used as a sport Car. it has manual mode and the 4.5 L V8 engine is fabulous This car has a lot of power and a beautiful color. Overall great car and all aspects of its kind the only reason why we’re selling it is because we bought a new SUV which is bigger because we need it for family you won’t regret it.

Can't Let It Go

Bought my FX45 used in 2004 with ~30k on it. Now have well over 200k and drives like a dream. Full power, great handing and just plain fun to drive. Like any car of this age, it is showing its wear, but the styling has remained relevant. It has been (and still is) the best car I have owned (over previous Ford, Audi (although got 300k), GMC, Subaru, Jeep (the worst), Honda and Hyundai).

Always Wanted One of These

I finally found a used cream puff at an Infiniti Dealer. My favorite color (white) and my favorite engine (4.5 liter). Had it for almost 2 years now, and still look forward to driving it daily. Still get the looks. Tires are expensive to replace, but then what isn't? Had many other cars. G35x and I35 before this. Don't like the new FX body style (yet). Maybe get an EX35 or newer FX45 or M45x after this--but in no hurry--really!

FX45

Had the vehicle since 2003, no problems and fun to drive. Technology package is well worth the extra money. What a treat to have Nav, DVD, and laser guided cruise control.

Great car!

I get a new car every 15 years (my previous car was a 1989 Camaro Z28), so I did a lot of research before I bought this car in January 2004. It has not disappointed me. It has great performance, including spectacular breaking. The handling is tight. When I first bought it and was getting familiar with it, I'd look at a button and ask myself, "What does this do? If I designed this car, it would do such-and-such." I'd push the button, and such-and-such would actually happen! It was very intuitive. I have had no problems with it (53,000 miles) and the dealership has been great, including giving me free loaner cars (all Infinitis). I am delighted with my car.
