well i got a 2004 g35 coupe now..and wanna upgrade to something bigger..just wondering..which will you guys choose if you had the option..i am talking OVERALL (not power cuz obvious v8 vs v6)..my delimea is here

i would love the v8 4.5 liter motor..however to me the 2009+ fx interior is beauty..esp. the seats..omg...lol..will you guys sacrafice luxury for power?

and uh..i cant afford a fx50 thats why its not am option..
 
I went through the same thing as you. My last 2 cars were G35s and I was debating 1st gen/2nd gen/FX35/FX45/FX50 and I chose a 09 FX35.
Really you can't go wrong with either choice.
 
Since I purchased my 2nd Gen FX35 I have not really thought of the V8. The 35 with the 7spd and 303hp is great. The FX50 is awesome. but I am 100% satisfied with the V6, it is plenty fast for me.
 
Ya, the new HR engine is why they made a new V8. I know the new M35 and M45 had almost exactly the same performance numbers, similar to the FX, but in the same body style.
 
Here is my opinion

I leased the 2007 FX35 for two years and three months. Fell in love with the car. Gear change was smooth and crisp, and the muffler gave out a beautiful note everytime i stepped on the gas, even just a little bit. The transmission is always on point. The car is really responsive. While cruising, just give the car a little bit of gas, the car would accelerate. Since I love the 07 so much, I've decided to return it and stick with infiniti and get he 09 FX35.

Ooooooh, BAD IDEA!!!! Besides the fact that the interior and exterior of the 09 looks a lot better, and the fact that the 09 has an ipod adapter, nothing in the 09 makes it better than the 07. Instead, it is a WORSE CAR!!!!

I had my 09 for a couple months now and have approximately 2000 miles on it. The car feels slow. The exhaust note, I can barely hear it, and the transmission. Oooh, the transmission just pisses me off. It searches for gears, it is never on point, and it makes my car really unpredictable. Sometimes when i gas it, VROOOM, RPM shoots up, on other times, I gas it... huh... no response, as if my foot haven't stepped down on the pedal. Well, lemme give it another inch, VROOOM!!! RPM revs up... gees this is not what i wanted, i just wanted to go from 60-70, don't need to downshift!

Further, what also pisses me off about the new tranny, is that when i am slowing down without stepping on the brakes, the transmission decides on its own, without my consent, to downshift to slow the car down faster. It annoys the crap out of me. I have also felt a couple of hard downshifts.

Well, this Saturday, I am bringing in my car to get the tranny reprogrammed. I have heard from another thread in this forum that it is a huge difference. I pray that it will be a huge difference. If not!! ARghz, I am stuck with this car.

I will update this post after I get my car reprogramed. Please stay tuned.

Thank You.

thanks for this post , keep us updated!!

hope everything works well for you and your FX..
 
I just can't get past the front end of the 09. It looks like the mouth of a fish (but not in a good way). The sport seats are nice though.
