2007 Infiniti FX45 review

Today we look at my 2007 Infiniti FX45. Come with me as we take a close look at the car and talk about it.

[@freetheport]

Thank you. Youre speaking my language.. ive had my 08 infiniti fx35 over 10 years. I love it. Easy to work on.. Currently 219921 miles on her. I done a muffler delete, painted several times along with rims. Im lookinf for a fx45 now. And like you said.. i dont ever ever ever plan on getting rid of her 😂Yours sound great. Thanks

[@Sam-mw5hx]

This is the most detailed fx video, great job

[@RiddimWubz]

Midnight club 3 Dub Edition Remix is also my reason the 03-07 FX models are my dream vehicles.

[@samthecarguy1143]

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t listen to the songs from the game while driving it on fun curvy roads 😂😂 even in that game it was an op, only the Cayenne based Gemballa was better n my opinion. That game also gave me a special love for Cayenne turbos 😂 but they maintain a high value

[@samthecarguy1143]

Note: the video game I mentioned should have been Midnight Club III: Dub Edition.

Nice review. I just bought my wife a one owner, garage kept in Fl., flawless 2007 FX35 with 150k miles for $5400. I drove it home about an hr. away and I've decided I'm going to look for a FX45 to have as a spare. Very nice car! Oh, the rear seats can be pushed forward with two levers from the back hatch on the right and left side.

[@samthecarguy1143]

They really are. I’ve had both the 35 and the 45. I definitely prefer the 45. Did I forget to mention the levers in the back to drop the seats? That’s my mistake.

[@rockyroadproductions4016]

Those headlights are real nice.

[@tomtroler]

You know a lot of stuff about this model. Thanks for the video

[@samthecarguy1143]

I try. I’ve had both the v6 and v8 and tried to learn as much as I could since they’re pretty uncommon with the v8

[@mohammedmoftah2180]

Very nice 👍

[@mohammedmoftah2180]

Thanks 🙏

[@MrWhite-fo3es]

How is it compared to Fx35?: i want the v8 but hard to find

[@samthecarguy1143]

I’d buy another FX45 before I bought another FX35. It’s quicker, it sounds better, and it’s more rare. However… there’s no aftermarket performance parts for the VK45. The VQ has dozens of aftermarket parts because of the 350Z. You have to be willing to travel for the V8. I drove 950 miles one way for this one.

[@Lolu371]

I got this car in 2020 as well! But it’s from Texas.

[@ELEVOPR]

Very nice 🙂 I have an 03 FX45 with only 77k. Those trucks are built like a tank.

[@thecynicalafro160]

i'm yet to see a rav4 this big, but i get your point. great car

[@samthecarguy1143]

2014-present ravs are very close in size if you see one parked next to it.

[@thecynicalafro160]

@@samthecarguy1143 maybe the height. The fx is alot longer and wider

[@samthecarguy1143]

Barely. Fx45 dims: 189”x76”x66” 2017 Rav4: 184”x73”x68”

[@lockdown_392]

And in the Q 45. I also own a fx45 but do you know of any performance modifications that are available or any custom mods people are doing ?

[@samthecarguy1143]

There’s not much that I know of. I’ve wondered if VQ35 parts would fit with little to no modifications since this engine is based on it

[@THEUTUBEVIDZ]

1:13 not gonna lie, midnight club 3 was the same reason I love these cars. I bought a Honda Odyssey partially for the same reason because it was the traffic in midnight

[@samthecarguy1143]

My parents had an 04 Odyssey EX-l for years, with the Vtech engine they’re pretty dang quick for a van

[@THEUTUBEVIDZ]

Mine is a 2003 odyssey. You’d see them as traffic in midnight Club 2 also

[@samthecarguy1143]

@@THEUTUBEVIDZ didn’t know that part, remember them in MC3DE

[@henrykkwielechowski3881]

How's the battery when you not running the engine did you update or you thinking about it or you wanna put it extra one in the trunk? I am owner owner off FX 35 2010 ! and my battery dying on me every three years if I push five I am sorry later even I use the best in the market ! Because such a small place for the battery is not too many choices for us to update the biggest one to have problem resolve! my question is were you idea about the battery problems

[@samthecarguy1143]

I still have the battery I got it with in 2020. The battery is either a 2019 or 2020. The only time it has died on me was when I let it sit for a month and a half without a battery tender, but a jump start got it fired right up and haven’t had an issue since. Most batteries now a days only last 3-5 years now. You might have a ghost draw on the charge.

[@jesserdo9963]

Dont forget the Q45

[@johnliberty6779]

What would u say is more reliable between the fx35 & 45 series ?

[@samthecarguy1143]

Both are pretty reliable. They both have their own issues, but the 35 uses the VQ35DE out of the 350Z and I’ve seen those engines go 700k+ miles. The vk45 (FX45) wasn’t as popular so finding them with really high mileage isn’t super common.

[@r50nation42]

jdm legends love the FX platform and the quality & The fact they put a V-8 in them makes driving more enjoyable!.

[@kosiekoos9408]

Persistence pays

[@RastusMcbride]

Is that the cover rattling? That dash acne issue is disappointing.

[@samthecarguy1143]

I believe the rattle is the rosary hanging from the mirror.

[@derrzer8086]

So how much did you pay for it? I’m in the market for one now and just wondering where the price point is.

[@samthecarguy1143]

In 2020 in “rough” shape at 106k miles, I paid $9650 which included my trade in. Today the kbb is about $6k, and in good shape back then it would have been $12k. Today if you can get one for 10k-$11k in nice shape I’d say you did good.

[@derrzer8086]

Cool! Thanks for the prompt reply! One last question… those headlights are some pretty damn awesome, would you happen to have the info of where you got them and maybe a product number? Sorry for all the “cop questions” but you’ve swayed my decision to purchase one. Definitely earned a subscriber from me

[@samthecarguy1143]

@@derrzer8086 i got them from carID. They’re Spyder switchback headlights for the FX35/45. Don’t remember the product number. One thing to note is they don’t shine a great as the factory headlights, but they work good enough. People have mixed thoughts on the headlight coverage. I say it’s better than a 70s car 😂😂. If you google Spyder FX35 headlight they should pop up.

[@samthecarguy1143]

@@derrzer8086 also feel free to ask as many questions as you’d like. I like getting to share my knowledge with others when I can. I’m glad this video inspired you, these are pretty awesome cars. The FX50 is also awesome but haven’t had an opportunity to drive one yet.

[@justinianthegreat5182]

Greetings all!!! This is Justinian the Great and welcome to... wait this is one of Sam's car reviews. Nevermind.

[@gudalawrence3746]

Will wanna replace my g35 coupe with an FX cos I could do with some extra space in my life right now.

[@samthecarguy1143]

The Fx35 is the suv version of the g35. The Fx45 is the suv version of the g35 with a 4.5L V8

[@lambster85]

had a 2007 g35hr sedan now I have 03 fx45 and its about as fun, the awd when locked or in snow mode grabs so hard in the turns!

[@samthecarguy1143]

@@lambster85 best suv I’ve ever driven and it’s in my top 5 cars I’ve ever driven. Wish Infiniti/Nissan would bring it back.

[@wl6279]

😆 he’s wrong about the mustang GT. The 05 to 09 models had 305 hp and 320 pounds of torque. Not 250 hp lol

[@samthecarguy1143]

Easy mistake when you forget to look it up before and go off the previous Mustang’s performance. These came out in 03 during the sn-95 model year. Also thought the 05 was under 300hp.
