Infiniti

I am looking into getting a new car and am looking at both the infiniti & the nissan suv and wonder which one is better. also, should i lease or buy outright ?

I used to think they were the same vehicle until i went to work for an infiniti dealer. however, the only thing they share is the engine. the murano is front-wheel drive and built off the maxima/altima platform and comes with a cvt transmission. it is aimed more at comfort than all-out performance. the fx is rear-wheel drive and is built from the g35 sedan platform. it has a traditional automatic transmission and is tuned for more performance. also, they build the car with all-wheel drive as an option as well as the fx 45 which features a v8. both cars are recommended and drive great. the nissan will have a better price point since the standard equipment level is less than the fx. the fx has the infiniti 5-year warranty but is probably going to be $5k-$10k higher depending on equipment levels. this difference will add $100-$200 to your payment over 5 years if you have good credit. the good thing about your question is that it is win-win and you should drive both vehicles before you make a decision. good shopping!
