Which One : Lexus RX330/350 or Infiniti FX
I am helping my parents choose a car for them to use to go to work. They currently drive a base 05 camry LE model and its a great car but not so safe. Since my parents travel to work which takes about 25-35 minutes (dont know how many miles it takes them) I think they need a more safer car such as a nice SUV. We dont need a huge SUV because we dont have a big family so a nice 4-5 seater would work out well.
We had a ford expidition before but we got rid of it and I dont want to get another american car.
My parents want the RX but I want to FX LOL....Infiniti baby! Yes we will test drive both cars and see how they like each one and how much the cost is on each one. I have a feeling that the Lexus will last longer than the infiniti???
Any suggestions would help. Thanks

FX35 is fine, forget the 45 you can get that extra power if needed cheaper by other means. Since this is for your parents they would be happy with the 35. Remember most of the g35/350z enginge parts also fit the fx35.

Yeah, they sound like future RX owners to me. That car definitely appeals more to the crowd that want a luxury ride, its very smooth. The FX drives more like a sports car, and if you aren't going to be driving it that way the ride may be a bit too firm for you. Although on my road trip this weekend my buddies kept commenting on how smooth the ride was, so maybe its not too harsh now that they changed the suspension up a bit.

Half hour commute to work isn't too far, I say go for FX35. RX350 definitely rides softer/comfortable than FX35, but it won't as much fun as driving the FX. Tell them with FX, they will learn to drive more aggressive which will shave off their commute time from 35mins to about 20mins.

My sister hated the FX interior, felt like she was sunk in it, I felt the same but liked the car better than the RX. My mom and her both ended up with RX330s, they are nice, but the FX really drives nicer IMO. It has no floaty feel that the RX has so much of.
