2004 Infiniti G35 Consumer Reviews

Definitely a Love/Hate Relationship!

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 AWD 4dr Sedan w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I purchased my a 2004 G35 back in 2008 from Carmax with 39K Miles on it. Because it was a "luxury" car I decided to put the warranty on it and thank GOD I did. The car had to go in the shop every three months for something and no matter what I took it to the shop for, Infiniti charged $500 to get it back. The brakes are a nightmare, along with the rotors and pistons! I really loved this car but the maintenance was just too much, I feel like the car was in the shop more than I was able to actually drive it, though when it wasn't in the shop and running smoothly, it was quite a sweet ride.

G35 purchased new. 75K mile evaluation.

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I love this car even though it's expensive to keep on the road. This model eats tires and brakes. I've been through 5 sets of tires and 3 sets of brakes, and one battery. Car has been dependable and trouble free since new. I just solved one of my biggest complaints 'gas milage'. Through performance tweaking I have increased my overall mpg from 19.2 to 21.27. Prior to modifications best highway mpg was 22.3. I recently completed a 2600 mile trip and top mpg was 25.5 and overall average for the trip was 24.31. The side benefit of the modifications has been more responsive acceleration.

Very good cars! (but not quite perfect)

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I own two G35s. A 2003 sedan and a 2004 coupe - both automatics. Review is for the coupe. Overall great cars. I'm constantly finding excuses to drive it because it's so fun. I prefer the couple over the sedan - the sedan is more roomy and a bit more comfortable, but the coupe is more sexy, sporty, and youthful looking. Styling wise, it's hard for the average person to tell it's 7-8 years old. Looks modern and sporty. Biggest difference performance-wise between the two models is the coupe is lower to the ground, and there seems to be less body roll when turning aggressively. When you sit in the couple it feels more like a race car. Not any faster than the sedan, though.

G35 Coupe - In a class by itself!

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Fantastic car! Impeccable style, power, performance and value. These cars hold their own mixing with the exotics prowling South Florida. At $10-$12K current prices its a steal to get so much car for the money!

Engine longevity in question

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 AWD 4dr Sedan w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I purchased my infinity in 2007 with 35,000 miles on odometer. I purchased it because it was rated top in all catagories to include engine performance and low incidence of repair. Recently, I have had a severve problem with engine consuming oil (2 qts. per month). I contacted infinity dealer and they told me to replace both valve covers at $250 per cover. It was a 50\50 chance that it would cure the oil copnsumption problem. After $800 in parts and labor, my infinitety continues to cunsume oil. It appears that the only fix for this problem is the purchase of a new engine. The car is now out of warranty to include oringinal warranty and a 3 year extended warranty purchased in 2007. Trapped!

Beautiful car, but too many problems.

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 4dr Sedan w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I purchased this car used. Upon review of the Infiniti Vehicle Service I found so many problems already corrected from replacing the stereo/radio, seat heater switches, seat track, rotors brakes, tire pressure sensors, and more. Once I completed the required recall I've had an airbag light issue now. My car is about 5,000 miles over warranty and Infiniti has refused to do anything to help. The first problem they told me the passenger side airbag and module needed replacing. So I paid the $785 to fix. Not a week after getting the car back, it comes on again. Now they've told me they need to replace the driver's side airbag at another $785. Then they can't even guarantee this will fix it.

160,000 miles and still going strong

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

My two cents worth since I drive 100 miles a day. Gas mileage around 22-23 mph. Easily rides well at 80 mph. My wife got ticket cause she didn't realize she was going 90 mph while listening to AC-DC on excellent sound system. Fun sports car overall. I plan to drive it another 100,000 miles, which I believe is possible. Brakes have given me most problems, requiring more replacement then other vehicles. Passenger window doesn't roll down, which is aggravating. I'll get it fixed one of these days (cost about $400).

Tremendously fun, rediculously thirsty

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Funnest and sexiest car I've ever driven. However, the price you pay is 13-15 MPG, and I don't drive heavy- footed at all. My drive to work is 2/3 highway and 1/3 surface roads, and I can barely squeeze 220 miles out of a 15 gallon tank of premium unleaded. I wonder if anyone else gets similar gas mileage... way below the vehicle's rating of 17 city/27 hwy MPG.

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Great car, very reliable.I have had it for almost a year and loved it. Though at times you may hate..like during the snow and when your low on cash and premium gas is 3.50/gal. I have only had to rotate the tires and that's it. I also change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.Plus its a chick magnet :)

Awesome car, sad to sell

Vehicle

2004 Infiniti G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I absolutely love my G! I have had it for two and a half years now and still have so much fun driving it. We have not had any problems with it other than recently the driver's window stopped working for a day, but now it is working again. I've had Nissans in the past and that tends to be a bit of an issue with them. We do most of the maintaining of it ourselves and it's not expensive to keep up with. We have had many adults in the backseat also and as long as you don't hit bumps too hard to where their head hits the glass, it's not too bad. Been on many road trips in it and get decent gas mileage and have a blast passing people on 2 lane roads! All in all I love it!
