2009 INFINITI EX35 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This little CUV is a bit quirky, but a good value if you can find one. The main strengths are it is very comfortable with nice fit and finish. Mine has a Jaguaresque interior with wood and leather. Most of the features you want or need (heated seats, touch screen, hatch lift, etc are included. It is a well-equipped little vehicle. The touch screen is antiquated, but I like it as it only provides the info you need. On the other hand, this may not be the easiest vehicle in which to upgrade audio as many controls are routed thru the center stack and screen. It also has Bluetooth and a usb slot in the armrest console. It seems Infiniti put some effort into making the interior a nice place to be. The G35 is basically a slightly raised version of Infiniti’s 3 series rival the G35. The ground clearance is not impressive and I would not take this vehicle off road. That said, the engine is very responsive and the little cuv’s acceleration feels and sounds impressive. It really is more of a sporty station wagon than SUV. Driving dynamics en point with tight handling, decent steering feel, and comfortable if only slightly bolstered seats. The engine while powerful (300+ hp) is very thirsty. At 19mpg overall, the fuel economy is pretty much as bad as my 4-Runner, a larger and far more capable vehicle that is also less comfortable. On the other hand, with this car using off the shelf components, parts components should be reasonable. Mine has been dead reliable.

The car really performs. Quality fit and finish. One of the best engines available. Gas Mileage is acceptable for a car that performs like the EX35. I love rear wheel drive. My wife and I really like Infiniti service. Low, low maintenance cost. When we take the car in for a major service they give us a loaner car at no charge, they do that for the life of our ownership.
