| Infiniti Ex35 |
It seats five, has plenty of power and offers great safety and technology features. Plus it's pretty fun to drive.
It is the 2012 Infiniti EX35 crossover SUV.
The EX comes in base or Journey trim levels and features a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 297 horsepower and is linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission.
As a crossover, the EX sits on a car-based chassis and gives a sharp, almost sports car-like ride with its four-wheel independent suspension. The standard drivetrain is rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel is also available.
The EX gets 17 mpg in the city, 24 highway.
The interior of the EX is comfortable and neatly designed. Leather seating is standard. Infiniti says there is 88.5 cubic feet of passenger volume and 18.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats. Passsengers in front should have plenty of head and leg room, but those in the back might be just a bit cramped.
Standard features are automatic dual-zone climate control and heated and powered front seats.

Safety options include a lane departure warning system, forward collision mitigation and intelligent brake assist. The Around View Monitor takes input from four cameras around the EX to give you a full view of the vehicle, so that there are no blind spots when you park. You can also get the blind spot warning system in the technology package.
The EX starts at around $36,000, and the Journey model that was tested had a sticker price of $46,395.
The EX35 offers great driveability and stylish looks in a versatile package.
