2003 INFINITI G35 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
21 of 24 people found this review helpful
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.
Great Car

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.
Already Great

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.
