An awesome experience with Infiniti and the lafayette louisiana location.
None so far, just keep your car serviced and maintenance up to date! It does not ride smooth on country roads, owning and leased a vehicle is a whole new car experience. It is called the Infiniti experiences. When you go in for a simple maintenance your are treated like family instead of a customer. My next car will be an Infiniti q.

It's very classic and stylish. It has given no problems.

It has been very reliable and fun to drive.
Has been a great vehicle, is comfortable enough for two full size car seats in the back. The engine has lots of power. The only concern is gas mileage.

This car is the perfect cross between car and SUV.
I love my 2008 EX35 ! It's sleek and stylish and has a lot of room. I use the way back for my dog. He fits just right! The back seat fold down automatically with the push of a button, which is nice for packing up the car. I love the leather seats, sunroof and power everything! The seat heaters in the winter are a must have! The car is very quiet when running but also very fast and powerful , easy to accelerate and also has the option to downshift. I love the that it's all wheel drive so in the snow I have no issues. It also has an alert to let you know if you have crossed over the highway lines. Overall I love this vehicle - best car I've owned EVER!

I love the alert it gives when you are veering out of your lane.
I purchased this vehicle used. So far it has been a great car! The previous owner took good care of it. I have been driving it for a year and it has been very reliable. It is very comfortable, with leather seats, Bose system. It also has a moonroof. I get pretty good gas mileage. A great luxury car!

Luxury cruising and in style
Drives smooth steady, can pick up speed. Comfortable seats, GPS, great speakers, Bluetooth capability. Seats 4 comfortably, or 5. Plenty trunk space. Seats fold down for more room. Love the sun roof. Bought it used, but still has great mileage for being used. Parts are rare so that means parts are expensive. A/C works great, backseat has its own settings for AC

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Renee D.

It is nimble and responsive and has good handling and braking ability. I like the power and luxury appointments. It has had almost no major repairs needed in the 12 years I have owned it. It is fun to drive on the open road.

likeFilled Renee D.

It is nimble,, and is fun to do It is very comfortable on long road trips and the stereo has great sound for every seat. It has only needed one major repair - the transmission - but in 12 years that was more than acceptable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Renee D.

Too many blind spots and the backseat is now too small for my kids who are 7 and 8. Also the fact it needs supreme grad gas gets expensive. I'd like Infiniti to bring this back as a hybrid or electric vehicle.

dislikeFilled Renee D.

It has astonishing blind spots and without the rear view camera it is difficult to navigate. Also, it has crappy city gas mileage and since it performs best on premium gasoline it can be pricey to run.

It is a smooth-driving, agile car with great handling and easy acceleration. The only drawback is that the backseat is so small children over 5 are not comfortable in it.
Renee D.

How Reliable Is The 2008 INFINITI EX35?

Extremely reliable - the only problem of significance after 10 years is that the transmission had to be rebuilt.
Renee D.

Is The 2008 INFINITI EX35 A Good Value?

I paid around $42k which felt high but the definitely got far more value than price paid: essentially 10+ years of nothing more than basic maintenance needed.
