Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Dynamic styling, carlike reflexes, roomy interior, long list of standard features, strong V6.
Cons
- No real off-road ability, minimal cargo room, unusual styling won't please everyone.
What’s new
All models receive minor suspension revisions, an air filtration system and an eight-way power front passenger seat. New options include chrome plating for the 20-inch wheels and a snow mode for added traction in slippery conditions.
Edmunds says
A stylish melding of form and function, the FX35 offers carlike handling and all-weather capability in a package that will never be mistaken for your average Explorer.

Good Value and Cost of Ownership
4.13 out of 5 starsPaul Harney, 06/27/2009
2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
The 2004 FX-35 has severed me well over the 83,000 miles I have put on it over nearly five years. It has survived two idiots hitting it from behind, requiring only cosmetic repairs. Even now, after years of wear and tear, it holds the road very well for its shape [SUV] and higher center of gravity. The engine and power train still deliver its 280+ hp when called upon. Highway travel … is pleasant and the twisting back roads of the area I live in still fun in this hybrid vehicle with its SUV styling and sports car innards. Highway/city gas mileage has remained constant at around 17.5 MPG. I have maintained a vigilant service schedule, all maintenance at or very nearly close to schedule.
Redefines the meaning of an SUV

2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Great sporty versatile vehicle, I owned a bmw z3 convertible roadster and in comparison to that this handles great, Bose sound system sounds like a club in the car, nice power from the motor roomy interior, car has 220k miles and car still runs like new.... Issues with it is the dash bubbles, front leather seats break down literally, mpg is 18 mostly highway but overall I love it, his a … rich look and feel performs awesome and it's by far one of the nicest sporty SUVs out there that is affordable and worth the money. Shares the same engine as the Nissan 350z and well as a similiar build frame, issues with exhaust system from a bad rattle but I installed a new y pipe and fixed the problem... Engine like I said has 220k and still starts up and purrs like a kitten
Best car I've ever owned
4.88 out of 5 starsJim, 01/24/2010
2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
I've owned by FX35 for 5 years now and have zero problems. I do maintain it and Infinity service ain't cheap, but its still quick, tight and the biggest problem is a small split in the drivers seat from my fat rear. My OEM tires lasted 78K miles, the snow feature got me through the recent DC blizzard, it handles like it'll little brother (Nissan 350Z). The stereo still rocks with a … powerful subwoofer, no squeaks, paint still shines like new... I will keep this car forever.
Factory Design Flaws
2.75 out of 5 starsBernieT, 03/12/2004
2004 INFINITI FX35 AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Beware if you are a bigger person, say
over 250 pounds. The front seats have
power controls on top side of seat.
Hard plastic trim stabs into the side
of your leg like a knife. Also, there
is a design flaw in the gas tank
intake. Most gas pumps that pump gas
quickly will kick off before the tank
is completely full. Something about
how the fumes build up. I have the … XM
Satellite radio. It occasionally loses
its signal - sometimes for 30 - 40
minutes. Completely turning the
ignition off, then on, "regrabs" the
signal. Ride with 20" wheels is brutal.
