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.

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.

THE REASON I'M ON THIS SITE IS TO SEE IF I CAN SELL IT AND BREAK EVEN... RECALLS, OMINOUS SQUEEKING IN A WHEEL THAT SERVICE WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE, A DASH BOARD THAT IS FALLING OUT OF THE FRAME, PLASTIC ON PLASTIC CREAKING, INSTRUMENT PANEL "GLASS' CRACKING, TRIM FALLING OFF COMPLETELY, ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND TRULY OPEC-PLEASING GAS EFFICIENCY...BUT IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT!

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.

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.....
