FX50 or FX35

Has anyone on here ever driven an FX50 and the FX35? The dealers in my area do not have FX50 models available and will need to order them. I wondering if the 50 is worth the extra change.

Depends on what your needs are. The FX35 would be fine for any daily driving and decent fuel economy. But if you plan on going on spirited drives the V8 will be a lot of fun.

Have a FX 35, love it and the gas mileage is on par. wouldnt mind having a FX50....Just would mind the additional loss in MPG. Either way, great vehicles

This will be primarily for my wife. I actually wondering if it will be too powerful or overwhelming for her. On paper, it doesn't sound like it though, but not sure about real life.

I have a FX50s... I brought it instead of the Porsche Cayenne S. After driving both I felt that the Infiniti was better overall and drove a lot smoother.. If I were you I would defiantly do a FX50 over a FX35/37 that’s just me..

09+ FX35s are plenty fast for an SUV - and lighter than the FX50 and most of the BMW/Merc crossovers.

Grab the FX35 and use leftover cash for lightweight wheels and the FX50 brakes and you have most of what the FX50 offers.

"da mayor" just ran a 13.5 in his stock FX50 on Sunday... I think that justifies the price difference.

If it is for your wife, I would go for a loaded FX35, she will love it and it will be all she needs. Your wife probably does a lot of city driving and that is where the FX35 would be better.
If it was for you then I would say the FX50 should be a consideration.
