The Infiniti FX is one of the new breed of crossover utility vehicles designed for consumers who want the best of both worlds, the responsive handling of a sedan, and the flexibility and utility of an SUV. The Infiniti FX35 comes closer than most to achieving those goals. It is a fast, responsive vehicle, but is capable of hauling five people plus their luggage for a camping/skiing/adventure trip. The sharp handling can probably be attributed to the fact that Infiniti FX35 is built on the same rear-drive platform as the Nissan 350Z sports car. The FX offers an SUV-size package that is exciting to drive and is capable and confident in wet and snowy road conditions. Because of the compact platform and sporty drive, the cabin is not as large as other SUVs and more cosseting in feel. In addition the ride is firmer than most SUVs but far from uncomfortable. The Infiniti range of vehicles are renowned for coming fully loaded as standard, and the Infiniti FX does not disappoint, with a 300-watt Bose stereo, color rear-view monitor, advanced airbag system and pretty much everything else you can think of - options are not required.
