Summary

What Edmunds.com says

Never much of a standout, the I35 is an even harder sell next to the redesigned Maxima that's bigger, more powerful and less expensive.

Pros

Outstanding V6, pleasant highway ride, spacious cockpit, easy-to-use controls, strong reliability record.

Cons

A few cut-rate interior materials, superceded in performance and spaciousness by the lower-priced Maxima.

What's New for 2004

All models get a sunroof, power rear sunshade and body side sills as standard equipment.

Review

Downsized from a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee which I loved but started getting old. I purchased this Infiniti about four months ago. It's a 2004 white and I bought it with 45,000 miles on it. The Bose sound is great. The car performs great with ample power. Leather is really nice along with the rear sunshade. When driving for more than a half hour back starts to hurt, maybe its because I'm a tall and used to driving an SUV. Overall really nice car.

Favorite Features

Sunroof. Performance. Sporty luxury. Rear sunshade. 6-cd Bose sound system. Steering wheel controls. Spacious interior.

Suggested Improvements

Tinted sunroof. Turning radius isn't the best. Windows in rear should go down all the way. AWD.

Review

First I would start by saying great exterior. Even compared to today's cars, this car was designed beautifully. The V6 is smooth and has great acceleration and brakes. The XM radio option is great for a 2004 car. Great interior room space especially for the back seat. Good sized trunk. Few cars to this date look as good or drive as well as this vehicle. The Infiniti's reputation is stellar.

Favorite Features

Engine, exterior styling, roominess

Suggested Improvements

Interior surfaces weren't up to Lexus quality for this model but have improved substantially in models from 2007 up as in the G35 and M35 and now the FX series.

Review

There is nothing wrong in driving this car, it has a fast get-away. It is comfortable and has a number of excellent nuances such as the driver's seat moving into position when the key is turned on.

Favorite Features

The air conditioning is excellent. Cools the car really fast after being in the sun awhile.

Suggested Improvements

Cannot think of anything that will improve the operation of the car, except that the turn signals be made louder

Review

Before buying this car I didn't know anything about Infinitis, now I don't know that I will buy anything else. The ride is so smooth, the comfort is amazing, and the features never stop pleasing. I regularly drive from New Haven, CT to Boston, MA, (about 2 hours) and I never get bored or get stiff. The climate control kicks in immediatly from cold to hot or vice versa. It accelerates quickly even at highway speeds. There is a huge trunk and plenty of rear space for normal sized people. I cannot stress enough how pleasing this car is. Go to a dealership and take one out overnight, and you will understand what I am talking about.

Favorite Features

Go drive one, there isn't enough room to put them.

Suggested Improvements

None

I've been driving it for 3 years and it's reliability has been faultless. I still love the way it looks and drives.
