My two Infinitis are older ('96 I30 & '97 I30t), but I have an '02
Pathfinder with the 3.5 engine.  No problems with it in 34,000 miles.  It
can launch that 4300 pound slug to 60 in about 8 seconds. The 3.5 gets 17-19
mpg on premium gas in the Pathfinder.  

I don't own one, but have a friend and a relative that do (FX35). The engine
is the 3.5L found in many newer Nissan/Infiniti models. Its the updated
version of the 1995-2001 3.0L used previously on the older Maximas. All of
these "VQ engines" are very reliable.

In my opinion the AWD is a little overrated, also the willow interior looks
ugly and bland. Its like a tan with a light shade of green. Although the
base price is $34,500 it actually starts at 37+ if you want it in any color
besides white. Overall, a fun vehicle to drive. The main downside is that
its harsh over rough roads, I can't imagine how it drives with the optional
20" wheels (standard, I think, on the FX45).

Check out this website, the Infiniti sections will have many comments from
owners. Good luck.
