From the Back Seat

Ed Piotrowski

I'm quite honestly stunned that this G35 (well, G37) on stilts doesn't sell more. It has all of the fun-to-drive character of its sedan cousin, and it has the taller driving position that many SUV shoppers like. It's also not outrageously priced. EX is an ideal choice for those who want a premium SUV but don't need a vast amount of passenger or cargo space afforded by larger, and often costlier, rivals.

Jennifer Geiger

EX35 is one of my faves. Aside from its cute dimensions and well-appointed interior, it also gets points for its combination of sportiness and wagon utility.

John Biel

This is a very likable compact SUV with decidedly car-like road manners. Power and luxury meet expectations for the class, but a tight backseat diminishes its strengths as a people hauler, which should give some shoppers pause.
