My wife & I checked them out at a local dealership

Very nice!! Much nicer in person than in pics.
Gorgeous interior - looks like the interior of a much more expensive vehicle.
The cargo area is much roomier than I would have thought.
Very easy to get in & out of - the rear doors open very wide.

My wife was very inpressed - when her '93 Altima finally croaks this could possibly be our next vehicle. :) Tho I prefer the Infiniti FX35...we'll see, we have time to decide.

There's always a wise guy... :rolleyes:

we went to look @ them today (my dad and I) for my mom and we were very impressed also with the techonolgy and the looks. great car..

the FX35 is much more expensive isnt it ??

Not terribly so - you could probably get it reasonably equipped for around $38,000-$39,000. The FX35 has the same 3.5 liter V6, but it's tuned for about 280 hp & 270 lb ft of torque.
It's the FX45 that's expensive - that's about $45,000 & up & has the 315 hp V8.

My mom owns the 2003 model she loves it !

Me i own a 2004 Maxima its nice :redface:

I looked at the FX before buying my Murano. an optioned-out Murano (leather, sunroof, navigation) is similar in price to a base FX (incl. leather and sunroof, nav is optional). Identically equipped, the FX is about 5 grand more. I didn't want leather or sunroof.

FX doesn't have room in the back for my dog (75 lb retriever), the Murano does.
