hi guys, have my FX35(08) a year now, joined up a month ago, great car, great site with great info! On holidays in Spain right now and finally have time to post a few threads about things that have been bugging me since I bought the FX.
Just need some general feedback from members state side seen as FX,s are very scarce in the Netherlands and general info about Infinit,s is practically zero over here, I,ll start new threads on a couple of different topic,s and keep this one title related.
For a USA marketed car the(my) FX steers a bit heavy, don't get me wrong, it has a great feel and feedback on normal driving situation's, but parking is definetely a 2 handed job, especially for my lightweight wife( its her DD). American cars have a reputation for light steering over here, i've had a few myself, great for parking! Zero feel + feedback for driving! so I was surprised by the way the FX handles, do you guys experience the same or should I be checking something?
 
The FX steering is a bit heavier then others for sure. I'm able to do parallel parking with one hand. I like how it feels.
 
That's normal for the FX it's meant to be that way for sportier handling and better feel of the road.
I also have a Dodge Charger with much lighter feel like you describe and the FX out handles the Charger on winding mountain roads hands down. Not bad for a SUV.
 
Thanks for the feedback, thought it was ok, just looking for confirmation from other FX drivers, thanks!
