If i was going to go the 4X4 SUV route, but still sporty and fast, i would definitley skip the FX and go for a Trailblazer SS. LS2 6.0, tons of mod potential, lots of space, leather/bose /sunroof, AWD, and can tow 6600lbs.

If i had to get an SUV, thats what i'd get. I want it to be able to tow our boat in the summer, and thats something you cant do with an FX.

I'v contemplated that choice many times, but i love my fun sporty cars.

Oh if only i could afford both

 

Would *I* trade *my* g35 for a fx35? No... however:
If I was in your position, I would def consider it. FX35, or maybe the FX45. A friend of mine had a Murano, it was a great vehicle to make trips in. Cargo room and very comfortable on the road. I can only imagine the FX is better.

 

first gen no, 2nd gen maybe

 

If you get a fx get the 35 and pop a turbo or sc on there.

 

I sure would, and I did

I am extremely happy with the change, I love my FX and actually get more positive comments and people notice it more then my G35 sedans.
I would do it again.

 

The FX is so hot, if I were in the market for an SUV, the FX would be it. The lines are just so sexy!

 

Yes i would. The FX is about the only SUV i'd drive...and i'm not an SUV guy at all.

I almost did get an FX, but couldn't find one fully loaded the way I wanted.

 

thanks guys for your inputs. gee35fx, do you have any recommendations regards to the years and the packages?

 

All I can say is, to get the newest model you can afford and try to get one fully loaded, the tech features are awesome on the newer models. I love both the 1st Gen and the 2nd Gen FX.
Here are a couple of FX sites where you can do a bit of research. Lots and lots of info there.
My favourite site is this one: http://www.infinitiscene.com/

I had an 07 FX35 w/tech package and FX's have some ups and downs to them

UP's- I have yet to drive another SUV that handle like the FX so it can still be fun to drive(I have driven or owed everything from Porsche Cayanne and X5 to YUKONS and Navigators)... Its a great lookin vehicle that always get attention ... the 35 is fast enough for most but if that enough for you, you may wanna hold out for a 45 (go to carmax and test drive both if you havent already)..... back up camera (if it has it) will spoil you, GREAT FEATURE ...

DOWNS- cargo space is limited (other than groceries and small furniture you may have to call somebody with a real truck).... if you are tall (6' or taller) WATCH YOUR HEAD GETTING IN .... it actually doesnt sit up that high so if that's what your looking for you may be disappointed ....... you cant change the factory headunit (thats just me - I dont like factory headunits from anybody BUT the BOSE does make it a lil betta then ok)

Overall I loved the vehicle BUT the wife wanted a BMW645 so the FX had to go ..... hoped that helped.

 

I would for an FX45. The space difference between a G sedas and FX isn't that big, but having the hatch back is pretty cool.

 

It's funny because I always think of whether I should have gotten the FX instead of the G. I've never sat in an FX though nor know the performance specs against the G. Now that it's winter, I'm leaning towards FX to answer your question. Now, the real question is G vs. M! The new M's look better than the G's IMO. It looks more aggressive, the G's became too round and curved for me. Both still look amazing, I think its a harder choice though.

 

We have somehwhat of the same issues..we need a bigger car and my Wife likes the FX but we would still be in the same position since we need more passenger room along with more cargo..we have decided to get an Armada when we purchase our next new car.

 

Hell nah, but I would trade my p.o.s. Audi for an FX35 in a heart beat!

 

Define "little more room". A M35 should have more room than the G and is basicly the same suspension. If you need the height that a SUV gives, then perhaps a FX would do like you mention. There's also the EX35. That's probably the closest to a G35 sedan that Infiniti has out there. And it gets the HR35 powerplant. It's small though.
