03 and 04 G35 Coupes - Still have both in 2013

2003 INFINITI G35 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
33 of 33 people found this review helpful
4 vehicles in the household, BMW, Infiniti QX4, and 2 G35's - an '03 and '04. Have had many other brands. We have kept our G35's all these years as they are a wonderful blend of performance, appearance, and luxury appointments supported by an outstandingly reliable and safe, fun to drive sporty car with usable back seat and cargo/trunk. The only problems - ever - are minor electrical over 9 and 10 years. Door lock actuators on both cars failed ($150 ea) and radio/climate control head repair ($400) on the '04. Both vehicles have about 70k miles garaged but driven year round including rough Canadian winters. Simply unbeatable combination of value, quality, reliability, luxury and fun.
Best dollar for dollar vehicle on the market

There are known flaws with any vehicle on the market. The 1st gen G35 is known for the AC/Radio control going out, which is not all that big of a deal to have to fix if you know what your doing. With that being said, I bought my 2003 G35 sedan in mid 2012 with 154,000 miles on it. Very high milage for a used car, so I expected to have some problems. The first thing I did was change every drop of fluid in the car, spark plugs, brake pads, wiper blades, ect. to ensure everything would be in good working order, and the car hasnt let me down yet. A respectable 260 HP gets you up and moving to your cruising speed. It has an extremely comfortable cabin with plenty of room for all.

Purchased this sedan back in 2015 w/ only 103k miles and I'm now at 115k. It has not let me down since (knock on wood). Great smaller sedan w/ performance. Fast & Drives well. Since purchased I've had the change timing belts, brakes, spark plugs, tires & the camshaft sensor. I guess the camshaft sensor is notorious for going out on Nissan's. Found a local shop that changed it for $180 w/ OEM parts. All of these are expected routine maintenance. IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLE, IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. It shifts smooth and has a lot of power when you step on the pedal. Fuel economy is okay, I get about 180 miles per tank fill, all city driving for me. I've heard these cars can go over 200k miles. I've seen an ad in our local Infiniti dealer with the same year/make/model that has 255k miles on it! I like the 4300k HID headlights, leather is in outstanding condition, moonroof, BOSE speaker system. I will update this review and things come up and/or I hit more mileage. Overall, great reliable car. Won't let you down.

Back in 2002, I was in the market for a new car and had read about the Infiniti G35 sedan. Test drove the sedan and loved it, then saw the photos of the upcoming coupe. I am so glad I waited for the coupe. I purchased mine in October 2002, so it was one of the first G35 coupes sold in my state. It was amazing to drive such a head turner back then, and I love it still. Every time I see it, I recognize again how beautiful it is. I do take care where I park, etc., so it is pristine. Yes, I've had some electrical issues (A/C - stereo control, windows), but for a 9 year old car with 86K miles, it's been a good value. Love my 2003 G35 coupe!
great reliability and a lot of fun

bought it with 54k miles. had for 7 months and no mechanical issues except of window motor and power locks, which I figured is a frequent problem. other than standard maintenance have had no problem. rear tires live shorter than usual sedan, but it's a performance car, so this is what you have to pay for driving in style :) interior is very comfortable even though it's a 2003 car. a lot of people who don't know infinities asked whether my car was new :) loved it! rear seats can't really fit tall ppl, but perfect for kids or shorter person. the ride is quiet. sport suspension really lets you feel the road, so you can have better handling.

Back in July 2003 when I purchased the Red G35 Coupe MT6 my wife told me it was my 10 year car based on the price. Well here we are at 110,000 miles and it still looks and performs like the day we picked it up. Yes, having a car like this comes with a cost. Tires are certainly one of them along with the periodic window motor/regulator. But getting 23 mpg average and getting 27 mpg on the highway is not bad at all. This is the longest I ever owned a car and to date I can not see another car I'd even want to buy.

Had this car going on 5 years and 100k miles. I have replaced the brakes and tires more often than a normal car but based on performance and how I drive, it is understood. The engine and transmission are bulletproof. A blast to drive. Better performance dollar for dollar than a BMW (owned an X5 and 330i) but you do sacrifice refinement and fit and finish.

I just bought my car used about 2 weeks ago. It had 44k miles on it and it was originally a lease car from 04/02. I already love this car! When searching for cars, I gave my wife a list of features I was looking for in a used car. I actually went to the car lot to purchase a Lexus GS300 I saw on their website. But on my way to look at it, I stopped to look at the G35 sitting next to it. I really loved the sports sedan look and feel of the car. And once I drove it, I was sold. From the one touch up & down features of each window to the auto to manual stick, this car easily fulfilled my wish list! My only complaint was that the car needed brake service and the dealer took $500 off. Cost $700
Nice looking car that can be found at a bargain price

I purchased the car with 82K miles and have owned it for a month. I was looking for a reasonably priced car that was sporty and still had a lot of luxury features. My list included the Acura TL, Lexus IS and BMW 3 series. I chose the Infinity mostly based on price. It does have great looks and your not likely to have to pay blue book for one. However, there is a reason for this. These cars feel really cheap. My wife has a 2004 Lexus RX 330 thats one year newer and about 8K less miles. These cars were close to the same price, but the quality is like night and day. The bose stereo system does sound very good and it is fun to drive. I get 14MPG in town driving.
Fun car, just don't daily drive it

I bought my 2003 G35 Coupe from the original owner with around 65k miles on it at the time of purchase. I owned the car from 2009 to 2012 and put around 70k miles on it being that it was my daily driver. This car is incredible fun; it's very fast, has one of the best stock exhaust notes of any car at its price, has a huge sunroof, and just looks great. At least the powertrain (engine, transmission) was very reliable; I never had any breakdowns or costly engine or transmission repairs the entire time I owned it. However that's where my praise ends for this car. This car is only meant to be driven in dry or wet condition, NEVER snow or ice. This car is very dangerous to drive in any amount of snow; I nearly wrecked mine several times in very mild snow, and mind you I am experienced in driving in snow and have never had nearly this much trouble driving in the white stuff in any car I've ever driven, even other RWD cars. I threw some snow tires on it at one point and it barely improved its reliability in the snow. But enough about snow driving. This car's biggest flaw is its electrical system. Less than 2-months after buying the car the trunk stopped opening with the switch up front and the geniuses at Nissan did not put any way to open it from the outside the car. I essentially had to fold the rear seats down and pull the emergency latch if I ever wanted to use it, which I rarely did given how much of a pain that is. The entire center control panel which included the radio and climate controls started acting like it was possessed around 100k miles; it would randomly shut off and then come back on, and occasionally blast AC and the only way to stop it was to shut the car off and hope it didn't happen again when you restarted it. The CD player also ate one of my CDs before it stopped working. All the interior lights eventually stopped working all at once too, including the gauge lights which made this car impossible to drive at night. It would have cost me around $2000 to get the electrical issues fixed, at which point I knew it was time to let the G35 go. Overall, I'd only recommend low milage examples of this specific year and model, and also people who only plan on taking it out occasionally or heavily modifying them. Definitely would not recommend this car to anyone who plans on using it daily, especially if you may have to drive it in snow.

11 yrs and 135,000 kms basic city use. Durable, however these are the issues that are costly. 1. Brakes - they wear out quicker than most cars and are expensive. 2. Radio/AC malfunction in most models is a costly dealer repair. 3. Some oil leak issues are common 4. Self repairs are not easy for this model, replacing the battery and headlights etc. Otherwise this model is satisfactory for a durable engine and I would rate it a 7/10 for satisfaction.

The car was great until my oil pump went out and blew a cylinder then the cost was insane with specialty parts and shipping. The car ride and drove great steering was ok lot of front end work had to be done which was expensive as well.

I've owned my g-35 for 6 months. I thought it was fast when I bought it but now that the engine is broken in -- it really flies. We have taken a number of trips with 2 kids, wife, grandma and myself. I am a former owner of 525-touring and it is apparent that the g-35's rear seats offer more room and comfort than the touring did. It also boasts an ample trunk. I have owned BMW's for over 15 years and I am more than pleased with the g-35's rear wheel platform, handling characteristics and most impressed with its power. It blows the doors off all the entry level BMW's and gives the 540 ($54,000) more than a run for its money.
Best car for your money

We bought the 03 g35 for 23,000 fully loaded with navigation system, tinted windows. The car is the nicest and fastest four door i have ever driven. My wife loves it. I bought it because we needed a four door and my wife is young and she still wanted a car with speed and comfort with safety for my son.
Good but not great.

Bought used w/ 100K miles after my other car was totaled in a wreck. Overall, a very fast RWD car that looks good and has a solid, reliable 3.5L Nissan powertrain. Nice seats, good visibility. Combined MPG is 21-22, but I've nursed it to 28-29hwy. Push it and you'll see 15-17mpg real quick though. Overall a fun car to drive, looks good, and is reliable enough for me (I'm a salesman and drive a lot). I've heard of people getting 250k miles on theirs, which is good to know. There are some design flaws and electrical issues which are inexcusable though.

I have really enjoyed owning my 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe more than any other car I have ever driven. With 220,006 miles on the odometer, she is still performing like she did when I bought her new. I have bolstered the engine, suspension, and chassis with aftermarket goodies and recently replaced all of the bushings. I occasionally track my car, as well, and it has yet to disappoint me yet. Easily keeps up with modern sports cars and I love the timeless body lines. Sure to be a classic.

I guess I got the bad seed of the bunch. Most every problem that a person has listed here mainly brakes squealing and rattling noises in dash and other areas I have experienced in my 2003 G35 Sedan. I got the premi/sport pack. I bought new aftermarket tires and wheels (Goodyear) and apparently this car does not do well with aftermarket tires and wheels. I had the worst ride ever going past 60MPH. You can feel the shaking from the ground up. Took it back to the co. I bought the tires from 6 times and then Infiniti decided to help out. The Brakes squeak every time I touch them. Very annoying. The dealer at this moment is looking for me another used Infiniti G35.

This is the best car I have ever owned. The performance is fantastic, the size is perfect and the styling is beautiful. I have only had one small problem with a vibration in the speaker housing in the drivers door. It has been fixed once, but is starting to become a problem again. Other than that, everything has performed flawlessly. Even the regular service is inexpensive for a luxur brand. I love the looks and comments I get when I drive my car. I highly recommend it over an Acura TL, BMW 3 series or any of its competitiors.

Had initial hesitation about going from a 540i to the G35. Had to get used to a new torque curve, but this is a quick car. Dealer experience is wonderful, especially after the arrogant BMW sales and service. Don't miss the $1000 repair bills either. Do miss the wider tires but the G35 handles well. Looked at the LS v-8 and CTS, but there was nothing even close, dollar for dollar.

The lease on our car was up and we went shopping! We drove Mercedes C-class, Volvo, Lexus (ES 400 and IS300), Audi and BMW 3series. We were all set to buy a BMW when we had trouble with some rather arrogant and game-playing salesmen, so we walked away from the deal. Boy, are we glad we did! The Infiniti G35 is by far the best car in this class both in performance, features and "bang for your buck" that we drove. The 260 hp engine simply knocks you off your feet and the ride is smooth as silk, yet sporty. We could not be happier with the car in looks and performance. It deserves all the accolades it has received.

Fun Car, no problems and I just passed 50k with the car. Brakes make a lot of dust on the wheels upfront. I have every option but the nav and think the sport package(if you can find one with it) is worth the money. The car has strong, albeit touchy brakes at low speed. Gas mileage is not stellar but not bad either. Fun car on the highway as it has a big top end (mph). Paint is soft, so don't spend time in drive through car washes. Handling can be twitchy. Even with the VDC on you can throw the back end out into a powerslide without a lot of effort. It is very controllable and makes me think this would be the ideal 4dr drift car with the Limited slip my car has. Ditch the summer sport tires.

Purchased my one owner 2003, silver on black, 6-speed, with sport suspension in December '08. Flew to Ohio to check it out and was sold. Had 113,000 when purchased and now 138,000 1 1/2 years later. Only maintenance performed are oil changes/brakes,rotors,tires. Most needed replacing when purchased for 8,300 and valued around 10,500 at the time. The acceleration is much stronger than my mothers '03 Acura TL. Also the RWD makes for better handling in dry conditions, and in rain is not bad compared to the Acura. Don't bother taking out in snow. The clutch is original and still feels sporty as if it were new. However, when it rains the moisture causes the clutch to make unpleasant squeeks.
The G35 is Awesome!

I'm the only owner, and have really enjoyed this car. The reliability has been excelllent overall, but I have had a few more brake replacements than I expected. Also had the common center console goes blank problem (climate control & audio out), but even though I was out of warranty, there was some factory-sposored huge discount on the replacement. I've driven newer G35s as loaners, but still like the way this one performs and handles, and the great exhaust note. I'm usually at 21 MPG on (busy-freeway) commute and city driving, mainly.

We have had 3 infinitis and have been very happy until this G35. The circuit board controlling the AC, heater Stereo, CD etc.will not work. It has been stuck with no stereo CD and AC has been at 64 degrees for the Last 8 months. We have been told it will cost $1500-$2000 to fix it if we are lucky. This seems so outrageous to us. We feel infinite has let us down totally. This should be a recall as the mechanic said many cars of this model have come in for the same problem. We are VERY disappointed in infiniti and would never buy another if this is the way they stand behind their clients. So sorry.

I bought my 2003 infiniti g35 2 and a half years ago with about 150,000 miles. It was pretty cheep and still in good shape when i bought it. However after putting almost 30,000 miles on it things have gone wrong. For one i have an exhaust leak and the piping is rusted out. I had low profile tires which i had to get new ones. A couple weeks ago i brought it to my shop to get ball joints and wheel barrings on it because of a real bad "clanking" noise. Now it needs brakes(probably because all of the new parts i put in it) however I love this sporty looking car, and dreading the day i have to sell it. I love the ride and its very comfterable all the way around. Another slight problem ive had with this car is the passanger side seat is stuck foward, my trunk will not open and my lock and unlock part of the key doesnt work(maybe because i dropped it to many times).

Plenty of power and handles very nice. No problems merging on the freeway. What I find interesting or funny is when I accelerate to get up to the speed limit. When I'm at a red light that turns green; cars behind me are always 2-4 car lengths away when I look in the rear view mirror. This is only with my foot very lightly stepping on the gas pedal too. lol I just bought mine used at 101k miles. I have the Emerald Mist Green/Teal color. Very beautiful and custom looking color. It's been getting a lot of attention from people where ever I go. I have people sticking their heads out their window just to see what kind of car it is. I'm glad I found this one. Not bad for a 9 year old car.

when i bought my car it had 27,000 miles on it. it has been in the shop over 30 times in 9 months. it has had numerous electrical problems, paint peeling off the bumpers ( and they wont do anything to help you), transmission problems, window constatly creaking ( in shop 5 times for this alone), and of course the big one the breaks. i have been told by infiniti itself that you have to replace the breaks and the rotors every 9,000 miles and it cost 500-600 dollars just for the front braking system. the brakes stop fast but it makes a noise that kills your ears and also is head turning because it is so loud. i wish that i kept my ford mustang cobra.....

Great Looking Car. Sub-par interior: No armrest, no memory seats, poorly located cupholders, and a barely functional backseat(<= 5'9"). Pros: dash arrangement, steering wheel controls, and the Seats. "specs" vs "experience": Sedan felt more powerful (with 20 less HP, and AT). The coupe feels heavy. Some may describe the acceleration as "smooth" or "refined", but I would describe it as tame, and truly did not feel like 280HP. While the sedan felt energetic, the coupe felt bloated. The 6-SP shifter is nice, however the clutch was a bit heavy for my taste. Pro: the coupe does handle extremely well, and sticks to the road like glue.

At the time of purchase my wife and i did a lot of research on this car. due to her driving so much. The G35 Seemed to be a great car. So we bought brand new 2003 model. Boy were we ever wrong. During the first year the transmission completely locked up. The cd player totally shut down and the air would not turn off at all. Then at 100,300 mile the transmission went completely out and 2 weeks after that the windshield wiper motor was completely fried. I have own much cheaper cars that have lasted so much longer than this lux. sedan. Very poor build and cheap and low end materials in my eyes.
Has lived up to billing

This is a 28 month review of my 03 Ivory G35 Sdn which I bought as a new leftover. As such, it was 6k under sticker with 1.9% - a deal which made ownership possible for an average guy. It has been totally reliable in it's 52k history. One small electronic problem-frozen audio board, which dealer replaced under warranty. Brakes and tires replaced at 45k by independent shop which saved 50%of cost. Had regular brakes put in, which I like the feel of, cost half, and did away with excessive brake dust issue. Had some trouble in one bad snowstorm last year, but generally handles weather well (RWD), as I go skiing with it and ski tunnel is appreciated. I average about 21-22mpg with mostly hwy.
Fun drive, bad times

Alright 1st of all mine is loaded to the hilt. I have it all, and I love it all. Car is perfect to drive. Car is fun, but you would expect a bit better gas mileage. Car is fast, it takes turns like a champ, and navigating traffic is incredibly easy. Now the bad stuff. The interior is cool at first, but then it gets boring especially seeing new stuff. After 45,000 miles needed a new tranny, and boy was that exciting when it went out. Now at 48,000 the A/C is out and dealer won't cover it. What's next at 51,000 is my question??? Man am I upset because from what I hear, these cars are almost as reliable as Lexus and BMW's. Still would get another one, especially the coupe, boy those look sweet

I have an early model 2003 Coupe w/6MT, loaded w/o nav. I have enjoyed the car immensely, but it isn't without its issues. Fortunately, the overall character and quality of the car are well beyond what should be expected for the price. My previous car was an MB that probably developed expectations for refinement in the "little things" that the G35C did not achieve, at least not in this first year of production. It is great fun to drive, forgiving handling character, very nicely styled (and gets attention), and no major mechanical problems. Don't expect a sense of massive horsepower - the G35C is created in the character of the original 240Z.
everyone should own one once

sporty, easy to handle, seating is perfect for all 4 passengers, great leg room, navagation is easy to operate. this car is reliably unstopable. in a group of other autos, it stands out. the body style is over the top. i have black and all the lines of the car blend with one another and it truly looks like a mean sleek steet machine. gman

I've had my G35 Sedan for almost a month now. Pretty much every critique that everyone has posted thus far is true (orange lights dim in sunlight, brakes are a little grabby, fuel mileage is 16-17). But those are the only poor things built into the car. The ride is smooth, acceleration is strong. The back seat is spacious and comfortable. Get the premium package for sure. The stereo is worth it, as are the reclining rear seats and auto headlamps, etc. This vehicle is a great compromise car for those of us who like to smoke the guy next to us and yet are still concerned about keeping our passengers comfortable.
Great Car!

I have had many cars previously, including Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes- Benz, but my Infiniti G35 is by far my favorite out of the bunch! It has outstanding power and it rides great! Handles the road very well at 110 mph!!

For a luxury brand I find the fit and finish of this car very poor. Many squeak and rattle points all over the car. Had to replace the brakes at 15,000 miles on my dime. A month later got notice in mail from Infiniti that brakes will be covered under warranty, but I had mine replace outside of the dealer network so I do not get covered. Overall disappointed with the purchase I got vs. what I had expected.

The G35 is best car I've ever owned, considering the acceleration, handling, ride, stopping distance, size, quality and styling. The scarcity is also a plus for me, since I bore easily when I see too many of any style car. The dealer also treat you first class. It is the total package.

Great looking car. Average interior materials. Poor initial quality. 7 repeat visits to repair a dangerous pull to the right. (Was told it was in spec) AC faulty but factory had a repair for it. Gas tank will not fill up. Factory does not have a repair for it.
Sportiest in this class

I've put about 5000 miles on this car. I test drove its competitors prior to my purchase, and I've subsequently accompanied a couple of friends on a series of test drives of this & similar cars... bottom line, no other car in this class can touch the G35's performance & poise. At the same time, its competitors (possibly excepting the Cadillac CTS) all out-class it in terms of interior quality, styling & ergonomics.
Annoying problem

I loved my G35 sedan with premium and sport package for the first few weeks. I figured out how to get the best sound from the Bose with Bass at -1, Treble at -3 or 4, fader at RR1. I had to have the dealer install a foam kit to fix door rattles from the front speakers. I'm putting up with the inadequate suspension that's too harsh when driving slow over uneven pavement and jostles you around when turning slowly over a raised surface. But I have little squeaks and rattles that come and go in the right door or dash that can't be pinpointed. Very annoying.
