There are plenty of useful, high-tech features available for the 2008 Infiniti EX35, but the charges can tally up quickly.

ForbesAutos reports that the EX35’s paint is described as "self-healing." According to Cars.com, "Scratch Shield clearcoat paint...can heal itself of light scratches over the course of a week." However, the reviewer was hesitant to actually test it out.

This source also gives "major gee-whiz points" to the power folding second-row seat. It’s an option on more expensive EX35s.

ConsumerGuide reports that other options include a navigation system, a rearview camera, and a 9.3GB hard drive on which MP3 files can be stored (as well as any other types of digital files, it is assumed, and accessed by means of a USB connection).

Conclusion

The 2008 Infiniti EX35 has some high-tech options available—and many features standard.

Other Choices:

It seems that Infiniti is on to something with its way-small crossover. While the Lexus RX 350, Acura RDX, and BMW X3 have all been around for years, each is larger and more "traditional" in their SUV-ness. The EX35 is much more compact and streamlined than any other available SUV or crossover. Following the EX into the market in 2009 will be two new entries, one each from Mercedes-Benz and Audi: the GLK and the Q5. Existing or yet to come, each of these competitors is (or will be) attractive on some plane, but the EX35 will remain the most sedanlike premium crossover out there.

    I have bought Infiniti EX35 in June 2008, since then I have not been happy with the car, the brakes starts creaking 5 days after each service, paid for brake pads a couple of times on recommendations of arabian automobiles. Still not closure to this problem, apart from this the outer side-view mirrors creak each time i put the car into reverse, the sun-roof vibrates continuously. With the money spent and the so called reliability of the car potrayed has left me in dismay. I think Infiniti could do a better job. Really dissappointed.

    Just an update on the previous comment, Infinit has tried three times to fix the brakes, the problem re-appear within 3 days after thier fix. I have given up on this car, Either this a fault in the car or Infiniti technicians in Dubai have no clue on how to fix this problem.
