Great to drive, more interior room than anticipated. unfortunately, it is so uncomfortable cannot drive the car. Working with dealer to correct problem, Infiniti customer service was no help at all, will only respond to issue if more owners complain about front seats.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Adjustable steering wheel column.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Interior rear hatch release. Memory seat function to work without the ignition on.

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
Disregard the stated gas mileage on the window sticker. Figure on getting about 20% less than what is listed. Fun to drive, but the seats are to narrow and the controls on the seat are a pain. Also, no interior hatch release, big pain. The memory seat function won't work until the key is on. Therefore, you have to enter the vechile to adjust the seat. Kinda defeats the purpose huh? A definite must add is the clear bra. If you don't the flat face front area will be chipped before you get home. All that aside, great car. Nothings perfect.

Bouncy ride gas milage a pillar blind spot on drivers side and oh yeah Bouncy Ride

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
Great look Good power comfrotable seating but that all goes by the wayside once you start driving the on off ramps of the expressway this car has more bounce than an NBA playoff game enough so that if you are on a long expressway ramp you are going to have motion sikness needless to say the dealer says it is a cherastic of the car,Not what I wanted to hear after buying it. Had I known it was going to ride like a short wheel base jeep I would have never bought it. Own 2 Lexus RX 300 cars big wheels no bounce with them. Shame on Infiniti for selling a luxury car with an economy car ride!!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Sport, Touring and Tech pkg. (the tech wasn't something I was considering) However, the backup camera is fabulous -the Navigation system was something I just couldn't help giggle over, the 20" tires make this vehicle very sporty yet still classy ... the keyless entry ... I could go on and on!

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Not a whole lot ... leather floor mat's perhaps. A little larger center seat in the back. nothing major ... this vehicle is a gem!

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
After 6 weeks of researching SUV's, I finally purchased my FX35 AWD and I absolutely love it! I feel like a teen getting her first vehicle at 16. After reading the forums and going thru Consumer Reports ... I feel I made a magnificent decision. I had the Trailblazer, Mercedes 500ML, the Mercedes CLK and so on ... not one vehicle I've owned or driven compares to this one ... My husband says on a scale of 1-10, this is definitely a 12. My teen loves it as well; he dissed every other vehicle I even considered.

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
I love this sports car (SUV). It drives like a sports car. The looks are great - people still watch it pass. I think it is one of the classiest cars on the road. Will buy another after this one. Love the black with crome wheels. My friends are SO jealous!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Strong motor and outstanding handling. Brakes are on a par with the best out there. The keyless entry set up is great.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Infiniti FX-Series?
Interior materials could use some upgrades. Aluminum trim seems a bit cheap and dents. Move the seat controls to traditional locations. Motor noise is a tad high. Fuel economy could be better. Overall, the FX is a unique looking and very entertaining vehicle.

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
Loaded FX w/touring and tech. Sport pack, but, swapped 18s for 20s (better riding tires). Had for 14 months. Excellent build reliability. Fuel economy 16.5 on ave. Goes like a bat, can't imagine the FX45. Motor noise gets a bit much w/windows open. Back up camera is well worth it. Ride is firm, but, handling and throttle response is incredible. Very good navi system, touch screen would be nice, but, the system itself is better than Lexus' offers. Give this car a try, it will surprise you.

Interior trunk release, better treadware tires, improve graphics on display

2006 Infiniti FX-Series Review:
that I bought it again. Had an 03 FX35, traded for a Honda S2000. After 6 months, I missed the FX so much that I traded in the S2000 for a new 05 FX35 Diamond Graphite/Willow/Sport. Took a beating on the trade but am happy the FX is back. Great performance, handling, design. Stereo is excellent. Tire brand stayed the same -- meaning it will last 20k miles and it's time for replacement. Oh well, the price you pay....
