I don't own an EX yet, but I will. After researching every all-wheel-drive crossover and car this winter, I finally decided on the EX and am working on getting the best deal I can. Hoping the winter driving in wisconsin will be better in the EX than my previous car!! I don't understand why they didn't sell very well.

Hello from the great northwest. Just picked up our new '08 EX35 yesterday. It's Black with Stone int, AWD, Journey, Nav, Prem, Lux Style. We love the car. We test drove the G sedan, but didn't like the ride. The EX was more to our liking. This our first Infiniti. We hope to keep it for years to come.

Purchased a black EX35 w/Journey package three weeks ago and have been very pleased with the vehicle. I went to the Infiniti dealership with the full intent of buying a G37. Spent one night with the G37, and then the second night with the EX35. My wife absolutely fell in love with the EX. And while from a performance standpoint the G is the superior vehicle, the EX is very well rounded and offers a very good balance between performance, comfort, ride quality and luxury features. We are empty nesters, so the small back seat is not a problem, but can see where that has created some problems in marketing the vehicle. We like the versatility of the vehicle and find that there is a good amount of cargo space when lowering the back seats. I'm average about 23 mpg after 900 miles in mixed driving, which isn't bad for a 297 HP vehicle in this class.In short, the vehicle is a blast to drive, but has a more compliant ride than the G. The luxury/nav features are superb, the audio system outstanding and the vehicle has good versatility. Looking forward to several years with the car and am interested to see what Infiniti has in store in 2010 to tweak the EX for the marketplace. The current edition works for us!http://forums.nicoclub.com/zeropost?cmd=reply&id=3737041#

Hello everyone!
Im really happy havin found this forum after a long search!To introduce my self: I life in good old germany in the far north of the country.
Unfortunately Infiniti is unknown in Europe at leat in Germany. Later this year Infiniti has planed to start sales also in Germany and introduce the EX37 among others but to a ridiculously high price. Thats the reason why Im planning to buy one (EX35) in the us and ship it to Germany. However life wouldnt be that interesting if there will not be obstacles to overcome. One of 'em is the german TUV (Technical Inspection Authority). As some of you might know in Europe cars are not allowed to have red direction indicator and must have leveling headlights etc etc... According to this I have simple question: If you turn on the direction lights how do they appear? I mean the rear lamps, are there dedicated bulbs that flush or does the cluster of leds flush? Hope to get some more infos about the things that needs to be changed to get a permission. thanks so far
Michael

The turn signals operate amber bulbs both front and back. The rear turn signals are NOT in the LED cluster, but rather, integrated into the bumper. HTH,

Thanks David,this sounds great to me. It means that i don't need to change anything. Well.... I guess the next step is to get a good deal on an EX.
(This might be a little bit off topic but...)
Are there any suggestions? What would be a good deal beside the MSRP?
I've read about some deals 10k under MSRP is this realistic?
I tend to get fully loaded one. my prob is that you can't get any quotes of a fully loaded EX specially on one with a color different than black and white. cheers

I just purchased the 2008 Infiniti EX35 Journey AWD with Premium pkg and Navi. It's silver with black leather interior. It's my first Infiniti, but I did have a Nissan Sentra SE-R before (quite the upgrade in driving experience). I bought the car because I needed a bit more room for a infant seat, but I hate big cars. This was the perfect compromise. It is a bit tight in the passenger seat for anyone over 5'4" when I have the infant seat in, but usually there's no one in the passenger seat so it's not a big deal for me. I love how it handles like a car and how smooth the ride is. It's definately the most stylish car in it's class.

here from saudi arabia, just got my EX35 last weekend, it's really powerful..it gives u the feeling of a sport car
but last night the security system annoyed me..when i dropped a friend home.. when he opened the door the alarm went on..i guess bcoz the door lock button should've been unlocked before he open the door 
and u can imagine how was that annoying to the ppl in the middle of the night  i was so embarrassed
so, does anyone knw if i can deactivate this kind of alarm??

BTW: my boss name is also David. You are nicer. Quick question, Can you change the battery to an Optima battery in the EX35? Which color is better and what model number do I need? I can not find it on this forum. Your help is greatly appreciated!!! Have a good day. Christopher

My wife and I purchased brand new black on black 2008 EX-35 last Nov and love it-- except for our local dealer deciding to go out of business last month! It's a great looking and running car-- just hadn't bargained on having to drive 1/2hr plus to have it serviced.
re: battery-- we will be away visiting family back east for 2 mos during summer and contemplate purchasing 12V 1.25A Battery Tender Plus to safely maintain auto battery in our absence. Any suggestions/wisdom on the subject that might help us avoid/minimize problems would be much appreciated. Good wishes to all.

First off, Congrats on your purchased.
Second off, what I do when I leave for 2, 3 or 4 months, I unplug the battery from the car so it does not drain. When I come back I put it back on and it works first start. I would not use a battery tender plus. What if the thing shorts out while you are away, or cause a fire. I would not risk having that plugged in for that many moths. This is my two cents for what its worth. Well to our forum home!!! Now you are family.

Just the radio presets you lose. No issues there, since I can reporgram them and where I live I only get 4 stations. I always listen to CD's.

I'm Paul, i have my EX since september 08, i'm following NICO for a couple of months now, but haven't had a reason to sign in before now, i'm from Bucharest,Romania and i manage an Infiniti dealership here so you can imagine i'm a huge fan.
My first Infiniti was a 08 FX35, but after an unpleasant event i had to consider trading it in for an EX mainly because it was the only one i had available in the showroom.
i'm very pleased with my ex, although it could use a better handling, and the engine sound isn't as unique as the FX's.
So, i hope i can be of use, because NICO sure was for me.
