Likes:- Gorgeous styling, and rarity on the road.- Suspension offers smooth ride when hauling passengers or cargo, yet sporty when at speed when driving alone (I cannot believe they pulled this off!)- Power on tap, as fast as a Porsche Boxster in a straight line- Extremely comfortable, even on long drives (14+ hours, and I feel like I spent the time in my living room)- Parking sonar and lower bumper black plastics a lifesaver in crowded cities (in NYC, its normal for people to "kiss" your bumper while parking)- Lowering the back seats gives decent contiguous space for hauling- Incredible feeling of safety and security with AWD and safety features

Dislikes:- Outrageously tiny trunk space when back seats are up- Fuel efficiency- Rear visibility could be improved- Large side mirror housings limit side visibility- Lack of storage space for knick-knacks- No tow rating

BTW: IMO, paddle shifters + torque converters = bad idea. I've never found a car with this combination shift fast enough. Leave the paddle shifters for cars with an SMG, SMT, or dual clutch.

I'm just referring to the paddle shifters offered in the g35s and The FX I think it would be a very much welcomed option... and there is NO way you can shoehorn it in due to a different wiring harness

To each his own, I respect your opinion. Be nice if the EX35 came with a manual, too.

Missing 20's stock rims I wish we could get the Enkei 6 spoke's that come on the FX or at least somethign like them

Missing the G/FX Stock Exhaust sounds. That can almost be fixed with my resonator delete ( but the exhaust on the new FX 35 sounds just like out car... I wish i could get mine to sound like a older G35 or 350z or even the older fx's

Ill reply with more but.... dislike/annoyance:

Audio Controls on the Head Unit and Steering wheel.

Up = Back a Track Down = Forward a Track

in my G35 it was the right way... UP = Forward a track, UP increase the number, Down = lower the number, go back a track.

I hope I am making sense.

Dislikes:Dunlop tires--loud, need replacement despite plenty of tread lifeRear leg roomElectric rear seat folding impractical--the rear seat hits the front seat unless the front seats are adjustedBlindspots--the cameras are a huge help, except the blind spot created by the big side mirrors (a few too many close calls)Fuel mileageSonar cruise control--pretty worthless around dawn and dusk...which pretty much the very time most people are driving to and from work, and isn't very useful in traffic..which is kinda the point. I use the regular cruise control instead.

Likes:Styling--great look.Comfort--those front seats are great!Gizmos (ipod, hard disc instead of cd changer, phone interface) although probably some i don't use--others, like lane departure...more annoying than usefulFast and fun to driveSize makes more sense than a larger SUV

Cruise control is laser guided. LDW can be shut off if it annoys you.

I've been thinking of toughing a set of electronic cutouts right behind the cats... now that would strike my fancy.

Thank you for your Input guys! I am looking for the best cat-back set up for my EX now, I helped my friend install Tsudo Cat-back system on his Evo X last night, the 3 Hours job made the car sound just too amazing!!!

Well I've had my new EX for about a month, 1100 miles and:+sGreat handling and performanceCool looksNice interiorGood array of gadgetsNice ride and comfort, very quiet for this type of vehicleVery easy to negotiate in town and for grocery shopping-sOK gas mileage - I am getting about 20 around town and 24-25 on highway, wish it were a little higherLousy rear seat room - like every one else has said. If only they had extended the rear end of the car six to twelve inches!No power rear hatch instead of power rear seatsNo rain sensing wipersQuality close to Lexus but not quiteCooled and extension (thigh) seatsKnee airbagsLittle more storage room and place to store package or luggage cover.

So far my visor card holder broke, weather stripping on driver's door is loose and small ratlle in dash. Car runs great and wife loves.
