Used 2003 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
Bye Bye BMW
I was driving a 2001 330i and was looking for something fresh, man was this the ticket. Outrageous low end torque, handles much better in the corners than the 2002 BMW, also test drove the Audi A4, Lexus IS300, Acura TL-S. This car moves out and turns more heads than the old bimmer. Anyone considering an entry level sports sedan should drive this car 1st, everything else won't measure up. Doubters-refer to Road and Track's July 2002 issue-2nd place didn't make the front cover!!!
Good but not Great
Acceleration onto the freeway is top notch. Comfortable cock pit, but it's a tight fit, even for a small guy like me. The paint could hold up to chips and dings better and you have to change the break pads about every 15k to 20k depending on your driving habits.

Good car but too close to Altima
Pros: The engine is great and it is a genuine sports sedan. Also, Infiniti reliability is excellent. Cons: It is too close to the Altima in looks. Infiniti simply cannot get the luxury brand image concept right. This car looks like a different trim of the Altima and anyone who says otherwise is simply being fooled by the better looking headlights and grill. And the upcoming G35 coupe looks like a long- wheelbase version of the new 350Z. If you are going to charge a premium for a luxury brand, you should make sure that the brand's prestige and exclusivity are protected by a lineup of cars that are different from your economy cars.
Disappointed in TN
While the car is very cute and handles well it has proven to be a money pit in my opinion. Have owned the car not quite 2 years and have replaced brake pads and rotors twice...it literally eats them - found that out after I purchased, should have researched more! The gas mileage is terrible...around town lucky to get 14-16 mpg...hwy is better at around 22 mpg. Nice car but wouldn't buy it again.
Problem w. center console
I am stuck with "luxury" car that I can't operate the temperature or have any music because the whole center console is OUT. No button works! Didn't know there was a recall but as with Mike A, even though 2003 model, for some horrible reason, my VIN number doesn't "qualify" which beats me!
