 For a high end SUV the FX35 competes well, with some really nice features and tight solid construction. The controls are intuitive and usable, its nav system works great and the feature set is impressive.  Comfort is a real drawback. The seats are good, but rear seating is cramped and there is limited cargo space. Space in the front seats is limited as well, with none of the little cubby holes and slots I am used to seeing in well designed cars.  The ride is one word - punishing. You will feel every bounce and bump in the road.  Pass on the technology package, it is annoying, constantly beeping and interfering with your driving style.
