Picking it up this weekend.....

Just wondering where the second sub is located.

AWD Journey base. Does anyone know what is the 0 to 60 for the EX35 AWD

Journey? I`ved heard that the EX35 RWD does it at 6.2 sec 0 to 60.

My old Rav4 v6 does it in 6.3-6.4 sec 0-60 and 14.9 sec 1/4 miles. It seems like

after test driving the EX35 AWD Journey it is a bit slower than my previous

car when it accelerate from stop?

can anyone confirm this? My old RAV4 V6 is only 3,670 Ibs. compare to 3,970Ibs

for AWD journey base.

Just curious,
David

Welcome to NICO AWGD8!

The Apr 2008 issue of C&D tested the AWD Journey with ALL options (curb weight of 4032 lbs) and they managed a 6.2 sec 0 to 60 mph, with 1/4 mile in 14.6 sec @ 98 mph.

Note: 5 to 60 mph was 6.5 sec and C&D commented, "Acceleration runs are faster using manumatic mode, which is unusual."

HTH,
David

So, just wondering, are you new to NICO too or did you create a new nick to participate in the EX forum (since you're a well-entrenched Nissan/Infiniti customer)?

Cheers,
David

Thanks. No, did not know it existed until I started researching EX. BTW, just got home with new EX35. :Liq. Platinum/graphite; Premium, Navi, Lx style...etc
enjoyed the ride home; the steering wheel motors seem to work...so far. Dealer GM advised no cure yet, just replacement with same part, usually not in stock (you would think they would stock it since so manny fail)

(Once I had a 2008 FX35 for the day while my EX was in for service and I was somewhat underwhelmed.)

I'm new here, my name is Tom and i'm from Switzerland. Sorray about my English
This week on friday, i get my new EX35 it's my first Infiniti.

Actual i have the following rides:
- BMW 130i hatch, trade for the EX (new daily)
- Corvette C6 LS3 Coupe (just for fun)
- Smart for two (for the city an my wife)

Looks like you change cars as often as some people change socks!!!

Congrats on your "growing family" and welcome to the slippery slope!

I'm new, but I'm fun. So be nice to me.

I think you'll find the "regulars" here are both friendly and knowledgeable!

Cheers,
David

I'm new here and proud of being one of you!

Truly love my EX35 and have been reading A LOT about it, manual, review, forum (this is a great resource!!), even before I pick up the car. I finally got it TODAY. Not the best experience, but I'm still SO happy to have it!! Will need a lot help from you guys, though!

later!

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your 1st-day woes, but glad to see your posts!!

It's great that you found NICO to be a useful resource because here, we're all about sharing information, resources and experiences!!

Cheers,
David

Glad to hear you've been finding our forum useful already!!

Cheers,
David

I am about to buy an EX35, but I can't make my mind up on the color!
I am hesitating between Blue Slate and Platinum Graphite (Blue Onyx and Diamond Graphite respectively in Canada). Either choice will be with wheat or stone interior depending on availablity. Any suggestion is welcome, and pics of a Platinum Graphite would be very helpful as they are very scarce on the net, and tend to change under different lightning conditions.

Cheers,

Want to thank you for the great forum. Decided to go ahead and register and hopefully can share experiences with my EX. Purchased used in May, Black Obsidian with stone (I think it's stone) interior. Premium/Navigation/All Weather Mats, Tint and roof rails.

Info on this forum has really been great, helped me to identify the TSB's for fuel pump and steering column - took it in last week, dealer was up to speed, had parts in place and made it very easy. Definitely ranks up there with service levels of Audi and Mercedes. (Lexus was above par, but not to these levels - IMHO)

Anyone even contemplating the EX versus the G35 - no comparison, but I guess depends on your individual taste. G is much more of a sport sedan, feel greater torque, stiffer ride. Wife has M35 and honestly like the EX better - performance, MPG, quiet, smooth ride.

Since I know the game that posts mean zip w/out pics - here's a few from the desert southwest.

Can't see your pics but hope you fix that soon ... looking forward to some scenes from the Southwest US of A!

Cheers,
David

Soon to be new owner of a Blue Slate/Wheat/AWD/PREM/NAV EX35 the day after Thanksgiving for the wife. She is coming from a 03 Corrolla so this is a HUGE step up. She is so stoaked about the keyless fob, bluetooth, heated seats, power and the list goes on and on. Found a great deal on one in Lexington, KY. Can't wait to pick it up. Wil post pic's this weekend

Cheers,
David

I am new here but purchased my EX35 back in August. I am new to the Infiniti family and I am very happy with my decision.

We just picked up our Dark Currant/Wheat/AWD/Premium/Luxe/Wood Package Infiniti EX35 on New Years Eve. So far we could not be happier with the drivability. What a fun car to drive!!

Look forward to learning more about this car on this forum.

Thanks

Cheers,
David

1st time Infiniti owner; our EX is blue slate/choral leather/premium/roof rails/all weather mats. This is my wife’s everyday car and she was sticking with Volvo XC60; I was a great salesman to convince her for the Infiniti. Glad to join the club and looking forward to hear/learn all the positives and negatives about this crossover!

Thanks.

What exactly is "choral leather"?? Or did you mean coral - unless your car sings!

Seriously though, I didn't know that colour was an option.

Cheers,
David

My name is Paul and I purchased my first Infiniti last week. 2008 EX35 with Journey, Nav, Premium and Tech package. So far the vehicle is awesome. Tech package is great, ride fit and function is excellent. I am looking forward to testing performance after break in period.

Current Cars:
2007 Ford Edge (great family vehicle)
2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder (currently under cover for the cold Canadian winter.

Regards,
Paul

I almost bought an Edge myself, but decided it was more bulky than I needed and more thirsty than I wanted.

Cheers,
David

I bought an 08 because of the incentives and some of the features in the premium package in 08 are only available in the nav package in 09.

I have been going through this forum and find it very informative. This is my first Infinity, so lots of learning.

Here is my first question. I have been reading about some of the TSBs - should I ask the dealer to take care of these before I pick up the car?

As far as asking the dealer to "take care of" the TSBs, you can ask, but I expect they'll just say "they've all been done" - yes without checking. Call me cynical, but try it and let us all know how it goes!

FWIW, I find the Nav package excellent. Yes, definitely pricey, but it's accurate, always seems to be in the appropriate zoom or display mode, and though not perfect, is hardly ever wrong - unlike the Nokia 500 we have in my wife's Subaru that told us to turn left where there's been no left turn allowed ANYTIME for the last 15 years!!
