Infiniti FX35 or Acura MDX

[Rally boy]

Which one would you go for?

Prices are very similiar .... FX $52K+ (no tech package)
MDX $50K+

both don't include destination or GST.

love the styling and handling of the FX but the MDX has a little more room and is a smoother ride.

Any thoughts?

I test drove the MDX and it felt kind of weak... I have never driven the FX but I did drive the Murano and I was sold instantly...

Who is this car for? If it's for older people, they might like the luxury of the MDX (it feels very refined). But if it's for a younger, more spirited driver, then FX all the way!

MDX!! Love my Honda's:thumbsup:

base model Touareg!

[QuasarCav]

MDX!!

the infiniti looks like a shoe, a fast shoe but a shoe nonetheless.

[Ridelikeme]

go fx..... they are such a smooth ride, very fast and very classy.... they also come with killer stock rims

FX35, I love the styling! Its like if my car grew up and became an SUV, it would be the FX35.

[lam-boy]

I vote on the FX! i love that car.

[Rally boy]

The car is basically for late 20's... for someone who needs more space than current car.

FX35 has possibilities in mods too .... stillen, crawford plenun, pop charger, UR pulley, rims upgrading the 18's that come stock, etc
... MDX is almost a car you buy and leave stock


going to test drive both next week.

anybody have experiences with Inifiniti or Acura.... or specific salepeople that have been good.

i've read that one post about Silverhill ... i hope acura canada deals with it.

infinti is awesome, but acura's reliability is better

FX35 < MDX < FX45

[JordanLotoski]

[RSRT-4]

if it's looks like a shoe then it appeals to everyone with a foot fetish. I think it looks more like a potato, a high speed very cool and absolutley beautifuly designed potato. Go FX. "Go banana" Ralph (Simpsons)

Although the FX looks sweet, I'd stick with the MDX. Driving position in the FX is a bit awkward for my tastes.

MDX!! REALLY SWEET SUV

[pinoyhero]

Hands down guy, FX!

[dj_rice]

I like the MDX


This guy I always see has a black MDX rollin on some big ass like 20-22" chromed rims...makes me wanna get a SUV

You can't justify that
Infinity (Nissan) has amazing reliability for the most part. My Nissan is 19 years old, 200k kms and I have never had any sort of mechanical failure. The reliability between the two is very close.

FX all the way!
the new MDX is sick, but its still not an FX

[KoukiS14]

FX all the way.

You will take it in the ass on depreciation though.

As for the reliability, toyboy88, you make me laugh :rofl:

[gpomp]

Don't like the interior in the FX, doesn't really feel roomy.

[infamous]

i vote fx35....

i work as an auto detailer, and i have had several fx's in the shop. personallyl, i love the look, and i am not a big fan of acuras after what i heard about service...

fx35 all the way :thumbsup:

[ExtremeSi]

I think the FX is the most beautifull SUV I've seen. The looks alone would sell me. It really catches my eye

[Rally boy]

i'm leaning towards the FX myself and i have read a few things from infiniti's forums on some of the problems other ppl are having with the FX including comments on the materials used in the FX interior.

the MDX is a great vehicle but it is built on the odessey chasis whereas the FX is built on the G35/350Z chasis.

ride comfort (MDX) with a Mini-van feel or sports car feel (FX)

MDX is more pratical (cargo space and ride comfort mainly) but the FX (if you don't mind feeling every bump on the road) is probably more exciting to drive.

guess the decision will be settled when i test drive them next week.

FX is hot but not as practical as MDX.
