When it comes to Infiniti you can not deny that these are legit built solid haulers! Infiniti cars are sleepers! Yea the interiors are dated but reliability and speed make up for it 💯💯💯

Would want to buy the V8. But gasoline prices here in Europe are insane. And my country has exponential tax going up based on weight. So this baby is going to cost me tons of money each month. :/

I had an 04 FX45 and same here, no problems

Have driven a 2004 Nissan 350z. Same engine as the fx-35. Had it for 7 years. Then sold it.. costs are different here in Europe and our gas changed from E95 to E10 which means 5% more ethanol. The engine doesnt like it so i sold it, had to run premium. And our roadtax is based on weight. But reliability is crazy good. Never had any problems with it. I expect the same of those infinity cars of the same era. Wish they where more affordable. If i was living in the USA. Fx-40 for sure. Nice V8.

The weight of 4300lbs really isnt that crazy for a crossover. Thats nearly what the dodge charger and challengers weigh lol I have an FX35 with performance mods and it weighs a bit less, but not a whole lot, and I can easily outrun most V6's on the road as well as some older V8's as im pushing around 350HP at the crank with all of my mods.

@@Nestle245 yes. Ive had it up to 130mph going down a looong stretch of highway. Doesnt shutter or vibrate at high speeds. Very smooth. Definitely have to keep up on tire balances and rotations for the 20inch wheels though. Not to mention wheel bearings dont last too long.
