Infiniti EX 35 - Page 3 - Nissan Murano

Common! All the spill about SUV's! EX is not an SUV! It is just a sports sedan that somehow got higher suspension!

If I wanted an SUV - FX or EX would be the last car I would look at.....

and you know why........

I agree w/ Kris, M35 or G35 was on my short list for when my lease was up. Ours is one of the obviously tons of families that doesn't need or want a "true" SUV. My tiniest of complaints lie in the FWD and I could live with our without the CVT. That said if the EX is very slightly smaller, RWD, and has even more power than the (very adequate) Mo count me in.

I love the looks of it, as long as it will drive as nice as it looks, will accept a tow hitch for our little trailer or bikes and will haul 4 people in comfort and 5 in a pinch I'm sold!

I have FX35 and Murano. Two very similar and at the same time very different cars. I love them both. But after driving BMW and MB recently, at speeds up to 230 kph (140 mph) somehow I miss a true sedan with low center of gravity and good handling. And as we intend to keep the FX for a long time Murano will have to go. In a year or so. So the EX35 might be just what “doctor prescribed” for me….though there is the M35........and the new G35.....time will tell….anyway, Infiniti and Nissan seem to know what real car people want….and they deliver….

PS. Anybody visited Ford website lately? They have a new 7-sitter I do not know haw to describe it…..car? van? Looks like crap but has many nice amenities…..

kris, the new 7 seater ford is called the fairlane. basically 2 boxes on wheels with slightly rounded corners. the interior is quite fair for a ford product though. and i like the big aluminum piece on the tailgate.

currently we are considering trading in our mazda 3 hatch for a g35 sedan sport. we've test driven it and the HR has a tone of punch and the dual intake causes it to sound like a small V8.

Judging by your car choices and aspirations you obviously have good taste [Kris] and appreciation for quality automobiles, did your computer fall victim of Pharming or Spam that lead you accidentally to look at a vehicle that requires Fix Or Repair(ing) Daily???

You would be surprised but I did own 2 Fords. And to bo honest I had less troubles with them than with the Murano......go figure....still would not change the Murano for either of them...

Does not apply!

My 1997(bought used in 1999) XLT F150 with 150K on it has NEVER been in a repair shop except for brakes, tires, after-market muffler(not 'needed'), and a battery(that I replaced).

My 2001 F150 SVT Lightning has 103K on it and has run a 12.521 second(modified by me) 1/4 mile and never has been in a shop except for tires, after-market muffler(not 'needed'), and brakes.

Don't stereotype!

I 'spose I will retract my Auto-Snobbery and instead put forth that my 1 experience with a Ford product, the experiences of a number of members of my family, and my general perception of that company's automobiles will keep me far far away

I will be interested but am concerned about gas mileage, my friends fx consistently stays at 18 or worse for the commute he has...

I don't need a sub 20 vehicle for my fun

**Kris** · 04-12-2007, 08:51 PM

My wf averages 16mpg in her commute. When I take the FX the number climbs to 18 quickly

Highway - 22 - 24 mpg.

I guess I am just annoyed that they cannot do better when they should be able to.
