Exterior

This is going to sound plain old nutty, but the EX35 is styled like an Infiniti (I know, it is an Infiniti). Let me explain: Infinitis are good-looking cars, and the EX35 is really good-looking. It reminded me of a modern bombshell with curves in all the right places, a lovely profile and just enough sass to feel right. While test driving the EX35, I received many compliments on its looks, which made me feel like I was kind of a modern bombshell, too! 

One thing I’d love to have as a modern bombshell would be the ability to minimize blemishes and fine lines without having to think about it. Well, they haven’t invented such a thing for humans yet, but the EX35 comes with Scratch Shield paint that Infiniti says can repair fine scratches and damage. Thanks to a flexible resin and clearcoat combination (and a little magic, if you ask me), the paint apparently minimizes scratches over the course of a week or so. Since I tend to find new little wrinkles…er…scratches on my car daily, this Scratch Shield paint sounds like a dream come true.  Now if I can just get Infiniti to work on something for the fine lines on my face…

The EX35 has dual power and heated side mirrors that are nice and big; LED taillights and front fog lights; and an available Adaptive Front Lighting system that swivels the xenon headlights when you turn your steering wheel thereby lighting the road where you need it most. I’m starting to see this feature as an option on many cars and can only wish that someday it’s standard. For someone like me with poor night vision, it makes a difference.
