- Reliability (4)The VQ35DE V6 engine is famously durable, though owners should watch for dashboard bubbling and minor oil consumption issues common in high-mileage units.
- Maintenance (3)Mechanical parts are shared with many Nissan models, making basic repairs affordable, though specialized trim and electronics carry a luxury price tag.
- Technology (3)While it was ahead of its time with an available 360-degree camera and Bose audio, the infotainment interface feels significantly dated by modern standards.
- Comfort (3)The interior features high-quality materials, but the stiff suspension and narrow cabin compromise ride quality and rear-seat passenger space.
- Dynamics (4)Built on the same platform as the 350Z, the FX35 offers sports-car-like handling and sharp steering that remains impressive for an SUV.
