2002 Infiniti I35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I have been an Infinity owner for 13 years. I have always leased and am now purchasing my I35. My reason for selecting the Infinity I series was safety, reliability, easy maintenance with no problems, ever. On top of all that the car is beautiful inside and out. It's hard to beat for the money.

Favorite Features

style, luxury in the interior, fun to drive, all the features in the interior, the lack of any mechanical problems and I feel safe.

Suggested Improvements

I was going to lease or purchase a new Infinity but unfortunately the price went up by $15,000.00. Infiniti you're going to lose your loyal clients for increasing the price so drastically. At least I have my I35 to keep. Good Luck with the new very expensive M 35.

I Love This Car!

Review

When I bought it it was 3 yrs old with 22,000 miles on it and in excellent shape. I bought Infiniti's Elite Protection Plan with zero deductible to cover the car when the basic warranty ran out in Nov. '05 and have been thoroughly pleased. Every issue that has come up has been covered under warranty at no additional cost to me and the dealership service experience has been top notch. The only reason I rated it a 9 for comfort is that I have the Sport Package which has a slightly stiffer ride than the non-sport version. But it is a blast to drive and very comfortable to ride in. The cabin is roomy and rear seat passengers are treated in luxury with heated rear seats and a power rear sunshade.

Favorite Features

Heated Steering Wheel & Heated Rear Seats (Both part of the Cold Weather Package), Power Rear Sunshade, Full Size Spare Tire, Driver's Seat Memory, Auto Dimming rear view mirror

Suggested Improvements

This model did not come with clear coat over the paint. That would be the only thing that I'd add. Other than that I have absolutely no complaints about this car. Competitors' entry- level luxury offerings of the same year don't have nearly as many features and cost considerably more.

Infiniti I35 5-year review

Review

I have been very satisfied with my 2002 I35 performance, overall quality, and dealer service (free oil/filter change-life of ownership). Had one problem regarding the driver power seat motor-it failed but was replaced under the 5yr-50K warranty. The warranty expired in 9/2006 (only 29K miles on it now). Took in for 30K mile service-approx $800...OK. But my sunroof was stuck open & service said I needed a new motor & some "rail", estimate $2100! Not happy about that-calling service manager as I found online a motor and complete frame for approx $1000.

Favorite Features

Comfortable interior and roomy back seat area. Large passengers have commented favorably.

Suggested Improvements

Better in-cabin lighting on floor- front & rear. Better front console cup holder options.

my infiniti 135

Review

I love this car, its the first car I've owned for quite some time. I find it to be very responsive, especially on the brakes. The car handles very well and picks up speed within a few seconds.

Favorite Features

My favorite feature is the radio and cd controls mon the steering wheel along with the automatic sunscreen in the window. I also like the computer control on the mirror that reflects headlights as green so not to blind you while driving

Suggested Improvements

The car should have a navigation system. the clock in the dash board should have been luminous so it could be easily seen at night

Review

I absolutely Love the comfort and preformance of this car. I wasn't shocked at all that Infinity is made by Nissan! I have always owned Nissans for length of life and they give you good looks as well as all the fun gadgets! It's like they fill the car up with amenities as Standard and you feel like you got a good deal!

Favorite Features

The Whole Interior! From the Heated Leather Seats, Steering Wheel to the pick up and performance! And also love the Cute clock!

Suggested Improvements

Body style

Thought it would be a reliable car but has been problems since I bought it. Only 34k and it smokes like crazy (dealer says this is normal) and has had transmission problems.

Favorite Features

Nice interior.

Fun Car

Review

I35 is an awesome machine. I was in the market for a car that could match style, comfort and performance of my 98 BMW 740IL but not force me to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it. Not until I found the I35 was there a comparison. It is roomy, fast, comfortable and stylish.

Favorite Features

Engine, navigation and comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Turning radius is pathetic.

Best car I have ever owned

Review

Thrilled to be an Infinity owner. We bought it for reliability, the heated seats and steering wheel. The Bose sound system with lots of speakers makes driving a pleasure. We hope to keep this car for ten years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first.

Favorite Features

Heated steering wheel and seats. Plenty of power. Leather interior. Good back seat room. Sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

Turning radius way too long.

Review

I have had the car just over 3 years. No problems whatsoever. Still fun to drive and I can zoom past most everyone when I need to (or want to). Comfortable, loaded with options, a fantastic car at a great price.

Favorite Features

Drives like an ultra-comfortable sports car. Room for the kids, get-up- and-go for dad.

Suggested Improvements

None.

Review

The vehicle has been very sound mechanically. Very comfortable and handles well on the road. Ride would be better with different tires- low profile tires have a rougher ride

Favorite Features

Leather and wood. Alloy wheels look good.

Suggested Improvements

Need more leg room in back seat. Different tires for better ride. Clock doesn't glow in the dark.
