Any differences in the cars besides the model year. Would a low mile 09 for a good price be any different than the 10 model in terms of performance, body, maintennace issues or any thing I should be aware of?

 

I'm not sure if there are differences between CAN and the US, but here the x comes standard with the premium package. I've had both the 09 and 10, and the engine, chassis, and suspension are the same. The 09 had the scratch shield clear coat, but people have varying opinions about its effectiveness in diminishing the visibility of minor swirls in the clearcoat. The '10 has parking sensors and backup camera as standard.

 

The 10 also has the updated Navigation Screen and the USB port in the center armrest. It does not have the audio video jacks in the center like the the 09 which you need to use the infiniti cable. The 10 will charge the new iPhones, iPod touches. The 09 will need an adapter to charge the newer iPhones and iPod touches.

 

One other small difference: The '09's gauge cluster LCD is a reddish-orange color, while the '10's LCD is black/white. Just sayin'.
