Infiniti FX review

3. Equipment and design

Listing the equipment you get on the FX would be an exercise in futility. Basically, if you can think of it, it's got it. If you can't think of it, it's probably got it too. And if you wish someone would think of it, chances are someone at Infiniti already has. Want 20-inch alloys? That's what you get on the base-spec model. And so on.

Not that there aren't exceptions. Or omissions, as you might feel entitled to describe them at this price. Jealous of your neighbour's Lexus RX350, with its remote controlled electric tailgate? Just try and get over it. Want touch-screen sat-nav? Keep wanting.

Overall, though, you won't be short of toys. But on a more esoteric level, there are other elements of the vehicle's interior which might leave you feeling a touch nonplussed. Its layout at first looks neat and attractive, for example, but too many controls are hard to see and/or reach - the column stalks, for example, are hidden behind the gearbox paddles (where fitted), and these in turn are obscured by the spokes of the steering wheel. The ESP button is way down at the bottom of the dash, which is all very well until the time when you've switched the system off to have some fun but suddenly want to get it back in a hurry when you round a corner and hit a patch of snow.
