Daily driving for my FX50. Yes, its expensive to run, and I fill up once a week. But its a blast to drive, even in traffic. I agree with many of the other posters.. why buy such a nice car and not use it? I factored in the cost for fuel and maintanence when I bought the car, so no sticker shock for me. I recently got a G37 for a loaner car, and I cant tell you how much I missed my 50. One of the main reasons I bought an Infiniti was because of the reliability, and to know that it will get me to and from work everyday with minimal fuss. So far, so good..

Is your fx a weekend vehicle or for every day use!?

i bought it specifically for a daily driver, although i've been surprised by how bad it has been on gas...
we sold on '07 bmw 335i and replaced with the '06 fx35 for a lot less $$ and hopefully more reliability, although the cold weather has proven to be an enemy of the '06 fx.
i like it but don't love it like i loved the bmw. honestly it can't hold a candle to that car in terms of a complete package, but when it breaks, at least it won't cost my first born to fix it!

I'm from Boston too and I know we've had such a horrible winter over the last two months! Hopefully it's behind us now (knock on wood). How long ago did you get your FX? I got mine this past January and the snow storms we had in January were horrible to drive in, in the FX35. The stock Good Year RSAs suck, I just switched over to Hancook Ventus tires as recommended by people here on the forums and let me tell you how much of a night and day difference these tires are compared to the GYs. If you're still on the stockers, switch them out and you'll love your FX a whole lot more!

yeah, the winter has been crazy here.
i bought it in november & quickly put blizzaks on it for the winter, it's a rwd not awd. it isn't like i don't "like" the car, it's just a noticeable downgrade from the bmw. the 335i is obviously a completely different beast in terms of power and handling (i definitely miss that speed). the overall fit and finish are not even remotely close though. the infiniti is also a sqeakbox compared to the bmw. unfortunately i'm always very in tune with every noise a vehicle makes & the bmw was so impressive in that respect, the fx isn't!
no biggie though, i've bought and sold a ton of vehicles over the years, i have vehicle a.d.d. and proudly admit it! i continue to get more picky with vehicles but also seek out particular parameters for the right "deal" so i never really pay much to drive a car. the bmw cost me $1,000 for 13 months and almost 20k miles. i actually hoped to make a profit on it, but as the new design came out and winter came in, my timing was off & the car lost value. i'll enjoy the fx for a while and move on to something else when the time is right...
blah, blah, blah...that went on too long!
