I like to run cars until they die before I purchase a new car. But this car won't die! And when I do get a new car, I will miss the smooth steering, tight turn radius and responsive acceleration. The negatives: 1) the tape deck never worked, and now the entire sound system sometimes goes off and the controls become unresponsive. 2) I used to go through the brakes like butter, and replacement was an expensive proposition, with new pads and rotors every ~15k miles even with a lot of highway driving. Infiniti finally addressed this problem and brakes last much longer - and still stop the car. 3) Replacement parts are expensive, maybe because infiniti cars share parts in order to reduce manufacturing costs. This results in incredibly expensive repairs - for instance, my elevated, central brake light just went out, and the cost of replacement was $500! For a brake light! It turns out that the part itself costs about $250. The positives, which outweigh the negatives by a lot: 1) the car rides and handles as if it were new. People are surprised that the car is over 11 years old. I'M surprised that the car is over 11 years old. 2) Infiniti replacement parts are well-made. I only had to replace the muffler assemblies once. 3) The car is very reliable. It has never been out of service for any length of time for mechanical reasons. 4) Great acceleration - terrific for merging!

2004 INFINITI G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe w/Leather (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
42 of 44 people found this review helpful
I love this car even though it's expensive to keep on the road. This model eats tires and brakes. I've been through 5 sets of tires and 3 sets of brakes, and one battery. Car has been dependable and trouble free since new. I just solved one of my biggest complaints 'gas milage'. Through performance tweaking I have increased my overall mpg from 19.2 to 21.27. Prior to modifications best highway mpg was 22.3. I recently completed a 2600 mile trip and top mpg was 25.5 and overall average for the trip was 24.31. The side benefit of the modifications has been more responsive acceleration.

2004 INFINITI G35 Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
23 of 24 people found this review helpful
I have owned this car for over a year out. My G35 coupe has an intake system, exhaust, and racing chip and it roars. The acceleration is absolutely phenomenal. It takes curbs decently well but people look at it all the time, back in its day it was in a show. The performance is just outstanding and the noise is perfectly divided between the engine and exhaust. I am also 6' 2" and my seat is always all the way back but I am always very comfortable. The bucket seats snug you in nicely and the steering wheel has all the right padding you need. Now to the bad. The brakes are a joke, you have to get aftermarket brakes with this, unless you have the brembos. The stock brakes are an absolute shame for such a vehicle, they are not that great. They are too weak. Thank the lord I have a good mechanic because I would be a lot more broke if not due to the mechanical issues. Probably because its getting old but its getting expensive. The transmission bumps a lot when its cold out before it warms up and there is a click when I shift between park reverse ect. That is concerning. Overall I would definitely buy this car again! Side note: I bought this car 11/28/2014 with 80,000 miles on it

I own two G35s. A 2003 sedan and a 2004 coupe - both automatics. Review is for the coupe. Overall great cars. I'm constantly finding excuses to drive it because it's so fun. I prefer the couple over the sedan - the sedan is more roomy and a bit more comfortable, but the coupe is more sexy, sporty, and youthful looking. Styling wise, it's hard for the average person to tell it's 7-8 years old. Looks modern and sporty. Biggest difference performance-wise between the two models is the coupe is lower to the ground, and there seems to be less body roll when turning aggressively. When you sit in the couple it feels more like a race car. Not any faster than the sedan, though.
Definitely a Love/Hate Relationship!

I purchased my a 2004 G35 back in 2008 from Carmax with 39K Miles on it. Because it was a "luxury" car I decided to put the warranty on it and thank GOD I did. The car had to go in the shop every three months for something and no matter what I took it to the shop for, Infiniti charged $500 to get it back. The brakes are a nightmare, along with the rotors and pistons! I really loved this car but the maintenance was just too much, I feel like the car was in the shop more than I was able to actually drive it, though when it wasn't in the shop and running smoothly, it was quite a sweet ride.
Good, with some faults

The 2004 Infiniti G35X with AWD offers tight steering and a relatively smooth ride, a combo that is often hard to come by. The pickup is also somewhat impressive. The seats are comfortable and supportive, though not quite large enough in the front. The trunk space is not adequate and the BOSE CD stereo is not what one should expect. Also, the AC and Seat warmers are not up to par

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.
Tremendously fun, rediculously thirsty

Funnest and sexiest car I've ever driven. However, the price you pay is 13-15 MPG, and I don't drive heavy- footed at all. My drive to work is 2/3 highway and 1/3 surface roads, and I can barely squeeze 220 miles out of a 15 gallon tank of premium unleaded. I wonder if anyone else gets similar gas mileage... way below the vehicle's rating of 17 city/27 hwy MPG.

This car was built at a higher standards than the newer Infiniti cars. Yes it may lack the advanced technology of today, but it makes it up with reliability, power, handling, and performance. Take care of your regularly scheduled maintenance, and you will not be disappointed. PS. I do own newer Infinities.

I've had my 2004 G35 since Jan. 2005 I bought it off the lot. For the first 100k I put very little money into it. Just oil changes, breaks, and tires. Then at 106k the transmission went. Figures 100k drive train warranty mine went at 106k. Dealership was great and found me a used Tranny for $3100 all in. That was a major expense but considering I hadn't had a car payment for 5 years I went for it. Other than that I've had replace a rusted out exhaust. The front end suspension especially tie rods seem to crack more than expected. (note I drive on pot holed roads quite a bit). I just replaced the rear suspension at 240k miles. I still have the same cad converter but did replaces muffler and pipes over 200k. I replaced belts, fluids, spark plugs but never any major engine issues. I have the sedan at 260hp and it's still a beast with pick up. The only other major expense was replacing the bearings at around 140k miles but after that it was like driving a new car. The leather has held up well with 4 kids. I have almost no rust just a touch under the back right wheel. I have over 265k miles and still feel safe driving this car. My negatives are no Bluetooth since it's an early model. The electronics are slowly failing my left passenger window safety relay is bad. Means when I auto roll up the window and it thinks something is stuck and rolls down halfway. I can inch it closed though by not using the auto feature. The break light in the back window is actually a waste. You don't really need it and it cost's over $500 if it fails. I have Bose speakers that still sound great but the CD player seems to have sound cut in and out (I know other G35 owners with the same problem) but the radio is perfect. This would be a great first car. The things that suck are the break dust on the front wheels and there is a plastic splash guard protecting the under carriage that gets mutilated over speed bumps or gets hooked on parking pylons. I really want to buy a Q50 but my G35 is still a great free ride. I actually keep hoping something major goes wrong so I can buy the Q50 but it keeps rolling safely.

I enjoyed this car for many years. It has great handling, acceleration & braking. I have really only one complaint with the design, the doors have a tendency to not stay open when getting in or out and. Fuel economy is fine for what it is. Little repair work or maintenance required over the 10 years I have owned it.

Great car, very reliable.I have had it for almost a year and loved it. Though at times you may hate..like during the snow and when your low on cash and premium gas is 3.50/gal. I have only had to rotate the tires and that's it. I also change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.Plus its a chick magnet :)

I bought my 2004 G35x with 72k, Nov. 2017. But for having to replace a starter , rear brakes and front wheel Bearing( due to regular aging And usage I guess) this car only needs oil and gas ( because it wants you to have fun with it!) Amazing bang for your buck, tank in the snow and essentially an AWD 350z in an elegantly styled, aggressively handling and SUPER fun package. You buy this for the engine, tranny and body style, not so much your interior. Buy a Prius if you want low gas consumption and an info tainment system. Yes a little noise inside but you just get to hear the rich note of your G35 better! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I love this car!

this is my last review of the 2004 Infiniti G35 sport sedan that I owned period unfortunately a deer jumped out of the woods onto a major highway and destroyed the car. So I no longer get to experience the thrill of sudden acceleration and immense power. However, I also know longer get to experience the huge maintenance cost that you don't expect to have when owning a Japanese car. See the expenses I had while owning that car. I'd put less than 50,000 miles on it and this amount of expenses is more than I paid for the car. In the two years I've had it, but particularly, since the beginning of 2019, I've spent a total of $4478.78. That includes new rotors and pads @$800; two sets of headlight bulbs @ $350; new battery and starter when the car died on me out of state @$449; Oil cooler O-ring- What?? @$150; Valve cover gasket $ 781.99; passenger side control arm @427.51. Plus a whole bunch of smaller items. I only paid $3,500 for the car. Before you say that is normal, I say, "no it is not". I owned Lexus, Toyota and Honda. None of them generated these this type of expenses in such a 'short period of time'. My Accord went to 307194 miles for 10 years, before getting close to Infiniti's expense. My compatible ES300 went 12 years, achieving 249710 miles. Had no similar repairs before 150,000 miles on it and they were spread out. My Camry made it to 292504 miles, never had any real issues other than normal repairs. I love that G35 to drive, but it is was draining me. So, in retrospect, I'm kind of glad that it is gone.

My two cents worth since I drive 100 miles a day. Gas mileage around 22-23 mph. Easily rides well at 80 mph. My wife got ticket cause she didn't realize she was going 90 mph while listening to AC-DC on excellent sound system. Fun sports car overall. I plan to drive it another 100,000 miles, which I believe is possible. Brakes have given me most problems, requiring more replacement then other vehicles. Passenger window doesn't roll down, which is aggravating. I'll get it fixed one of these days (cost about $400).

Purchased new, and have to say this is an incredible car. Still have the original Brembo pads. I've modified the suspension with Eibach Pro springs, and have added a few goodies like a Vortech Supercharger. Pushing 390 rwhp, and car runs great. This car is a head turner, and I have had many people telling me how great it looks. Comfortable highway car, handles great, and still gets 23 mpg highway with all that horse power.

I want to first say that this is a great car that's very comfortable for the driver and quick as well. The problems are the front tires seem to wear on the insides. I'm going on my fourth set of tires in the front with 34,000 miles. Since the rear wheels and tires are larger than the fronts you can't rotate at all. The tires make excessive road noise when they wear in this manner. My second complaint is gas mileage. I average 15 miles per gallon and have for three years with this car. I'm an adult and while I drive sort of fast I'm far from a speed demon. Lastly is the turning radius. It's very large and almost impossible to turn around in on a side street. Other than that a great car

Our daughter just turned 17 and we bought this car for her! I wish I would've kept it for myself! Amazing performance, outstanding quality and excellent handling! Love this car! Will never get rid of it. EVER! We bought it for a steal of a price and it's had one previous owner. My husband has been the only mechanic. So happy with our purchase!

I traded in my Mercedes 340 CLK after experiencing one Chicago winter with it. I researched carefully and chose the G35X. I have never been disappointed! Great drive, handling, security in the snow and great sound system. I had one service problem with the Driver's seat being stuck in a lowered position when I was vacuuming, but they promptly took care of that. You would think there would be a big difference going from a Mercedes to this as far as comfort, handling, but NO! Infinity has "nailed it" and I am extremely happy even after 2 years despite some brake squealing noise and paint chipping easily. LOVE IT.

Let me start by saying I love the look, feel and performance of this car. But that's where it ends. I have had problem after problem after problem with this car. Here's the list - power locks, speakers, CD changer, navigation system, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, brakes, brake calipers...and that's just what was replaced! They can't figure out why I get noise from my moonroof and water on the floor when it rains hard or the ticking from my dash when I step on the brakes on a hot day. As much as I love to drive this car...I can't wait to get rid of it. I have owned three Chevy's, a Pontiac and a Mazda before this. All of them COMBINED did not have this many problems! Hopefully it's a more reliable car now that it's six model years later. After all of the problems I've had with the car as well as dealing with Infiniti themselves, I will NEVER purchase another Infiniti or Nissan product.

I thought I had done my research when purchasing a used Coupe. You should go to the users forums for the best information - I didn't and paid a hefty price. The G35 is an entry level Infiniti. It has poor interior materials that damage easily and it rattles like a spray paint can. It was also in the shop for some fairly substantial warranty repairs and the dealer damaged interior parts. A "Regional Manager" rode with me once and said he couldn't fix all of the rattles so get used to them. The rattles and squeaks were bad enough to make me get rid of the car for a loss. If you want the same, if not better, performance get the 350Z. It's cheaper. Poor customer service! Shame on U!

This is my weekend / fun car. The car as is was fast but the suspension was a bit too "boaty", but getting stiffer swaybars cured that. Had 1 rattle that was fixed during warranty during 1st year. Other than that, I have good luck with mine. It's such a good looking car too. Yes, suspension is stiff, but it's a sports coupe dang it! :) Rear seats best for kids.

My Infiniti G35x is the best car I have ever owned. I used to be a Turbo Volvo owner until I took out the Infiniti for a test drive. When I got back I bought the car! I have had it for 4 years and still love the car. It is very quick and responsive. I find it very, very comfortable (as do my passengers). The cost to own it is reasonable although it only get 20 mpg no matter how aggressive or easy I drive. I will always be an Infiniti owner....That should say it all!
Beautiful car, but too many problems.

I purchased this car used. Upon review of the Infiniti Vehicle Service I found so many problems already corrected from replacing the stereo/radio, seat heater switches, seat track, rotors brakes, tire pressure sensors, and more. Once I completed the required recall I've had an airbag light issue now. My car is about 5,000 miles over warranty and Infiniti has refused to do anything to help. The first problem they told me the passenger side airbag and module needed replacing. So I paid the $785 to fix. Not a week after getting the car back, it comes on again. Now they've told me they need to replace the driver's side airbag at another $785. Then they can't even guarantee this will fix it.

This was my very first car, and after about half a year of research I bought one used in October of 2010. From everything I read, this car seemed to have the best balance of performance, practicality, reliability, and style. Although this car has many irritating problems such as poor build quality and horrific gas milage (around 15), I still love it and take care of it like a baby.

I've had the car for 5 months now and it is about everything you could want in a car in this class. It's comfortable, good looking, smooth and powerful. It has a few quirks of design but any car does. It is a very solid car and has many great features. The best thing about it is the driving experience, it is quite visceral and the car just growls everywhere it goes.

Trust me. This car is a nightmare with the brakes. If you don't believe me, research all of the comments online. We have had the car for 5 years, and have replaced the brakes 5 times! EVERY YEAR!! The car only has 52,000 miles on it. Every time you have to replace the brakes/rotors it is $500. I want to get rid of this lemon!!!!

I have had this car in for service items 4 times, (1)window off track, (2)clutch slipping, (3)drivers seat broken, (4) interior falling apart, first off the warranty is horrible, I have been asked to pay for parts, and it seeems as if the drivers seat falling apart was my fault,(still waiting for parts from Japan 4 weeks, have you ever tried to drive a manual trans. with a seat that slides 4 inches front to back with a press of the gas petal) Although service department is world class (third world), I would not recomend a G35 or Infiniti to anyone! Save your money!!

I used to drive a BMW 3 series that almost made me bankrupt due to tons of mechanical problems.Thank God after a thorough research, I traded my Bmw for this car and it has never disappointed. I will always be an Infiniti owner.
Love our G35

We bought our G35 brand new and now have 106,000 miles on it. We have basically changed the oil every 3000 miles, performed regular maintenance, and had the brakes worked on every year. That was the only disappointment. The steering is starting to make some noise now -- will have it checked out, but the car has been trouble free. Thinking about buying another one!
Very classy, yet still a beast

The most impressive thing about this car is its overall driving experience. Similar to BMWs, the steering wheel, arm rest, shifter, controls and pedals are all positioned perfectly making you feel like you're in complete control of the car. Handling is excellent and steering is tight and stable. In addition, the G35x has lots of power under the hood, despite the added weight of AWD. The car accelerates quickly and responds well in the in the 3000-5000 RPM range. Very torquey, but in a good way. If you like to speed a bit, this car owns the highway like it's on greased rails. If you're a conservative driver, the overall stability of the car should give you nice piece of mind.
Poor interior quality :-(

Car looks/handles great, but VERY disappointed with quality of interior const.......when delivered, the vehicle had noticeable rattling from shelf behind back seat..after 3 service visits, issue not quite resolved....merely a matter of inadequate materials for location(cheap fiberboard). Problems with power windows(twice), and overall, the 3 month-old car has more interior squeaks and rattles than a 3 yr. old Jeep Grand Cherokee that was driven around construction sites(i.e., rear qaurter window sounded like it was going to fall out!) Out of all the vehicles I've ever owned, this is also the ONLY one that has a problem playing CD-R discs too!
The nosiest car I have ever had

For the first 2 months, it's fun to drive. Then the nightmare begins. There's always some noise here & there. The dealership couldn't fix the problem. When the mileage goes to around 12,000, every time I drive the car, I feel like I was riding in a train. My husband & I basically can't talk while driving because of the great noise. Then there's the driver's seat track. Around 20,000, we had problems adjusting it. Thank God it's still under warranty,and the dealer changed it for us. Overall, after having an Accord, BMW, Subaru. Believe me, I'm glad it's time to return the car. Because it's the NOISIEST car I have ever had. jjmess
XENON LIGHTS

This car has one major flaw which has disappointed us so much so we will never buy another Infiniti (we've owned several). Our Xenon headlights have been stolen from our car for the 2nd time in less than 6 months. Nissan knew of this problem way back... and supposedly made changes to their 2004 Nissan Maxima... however, Infiniti (which is Nissan) produced the 2004 G- 35 with the same theft friendly lights. We were not advised of this problem and feel quite indignant that Nissan/Infiniti has known about this problem yet continues to profit from the sale of expensive replacement lights. Ours hasn't been the only G in the neighborhood with stolen lights mutltiple times.
Fun To Drive

Purchased a 2003 auto in May of 2002. Loved it from day one. I put 56k miles on it in two years. Just traded it in for a new 2004 6MT. All I can say is WOW! I thought the auto was fast. The upgraded interior is better (still a little less luxury than I want) The overall package is great. Handling, power, braking, comfort, space - all pluses. And then there is the service... fantastic! (although with the new successes, not quite as good as when Infiniti couldnt sell anything!). I look forward to my 50 mile one-way commute through DC rush hour traffic crazy happy!
G35X Major Front Brake Problems

I recently took Infiniti to arbitration concerning faulty front brakes. I had terrible screaching. Six attempts to fix it. The case came down to a shim issue. They insisted that original shim would fix problem but that was not the case. They truly do not know what is wrong with front braking system. If they do they sure led the arbitrator and myself down a dead end street. In which case I won. They had to buy back vehicle and return ALL my money. ALL OF IT...Might not be all cars.

Great ride for the buck, a blast with 6 speed. Fun to drive, plenty of power & great brakes for when I'm going too fast, which is important. One of the best looking cars on the market at any price.

I bought this car and almost traded in my IS 300. i'm glad I didn't. The G coupe is fun in the manual but the brembo brakes wear quickly and the tire noise is unbelievable. I'm thankful for the Bose for that one fact. Sometimes I love this car, other times it drives me nuts. Oh, the clutch wore out at 53K - of course the Atlanta traffic doesn't help things.
Great Car

We've owned our G35 for more than a year now. Except for confusing dashboard controls, we love our car. On the highway it demostrates great stability and road fee as well as strong acceleration and powerful brakes. On a twisty road it is wonderful fun to drive. It is definitely NOT a run of the mill, boring sedan
Good Car some minor imperfections

Driving this car is absolutely amazing, I have the 2004 g35 coupe and it is great. There is only a few imperfections, one there is some cheap plastics on the interior, the leather on my seat ripped by the side, which seems to happen on MANY coupes. However, the power-train is amazing, the engine as well. Its not 100 percent reliable, but much better than American coupes, and German coupes as well, this car is for someone who wants performance, reliability, luxury, and too have fun while driving it. It is not very practical though. It is for two people and occasionally can seat 4 depending on their height. otherwise great car and WAY better ride and interior than the Z car.

This is my 6 month review of this vehicle (I posted 1/23/04). I've driven 7300 miles and have not had any mechanical or build quality issues. I have had two planned services (3500 & 7500) and have been provided with complimentary loaner vehicles. On a 250 mile trip to Las Vegas, I got 25 mpg (and I was travelling between 80 and 85). The car runs smooth and quiet (I have not experienced any rattle or shakes that some have commented on). My Bose sound is great and my XM has worked flawlessly. I average 18 mpg in everyday commuter travelling. I enjoy this vehicle very much and I have not had any buyers remorse. This Infiniti product is a good choice.
Not a comfortable ride.

I absolutely love my G! I have had it for two and a half years now and still have so much fun driving it. We have not had any problems with it other than recently the driver's window stopped working for a day, but now it is working again. I've had Nissans in the past and that tends to be a bit of an issue with them. We do most of the maintaining of it ourselves and it's not expensive to keep up with. We have had many adults in the backseat also and as long as you don't hit bumps too hard to where their head hits the glass, it's not too bad. Been on many road trips in it and get decent gas mileage and have a blast passing people on 2 lane roads! All in all I love it!
Ultra reliable

Brought this car brand new. Seems smallish inside but very roomy even for me at 6'2". With only 41k miles we are on our second set of brakes... luckily they were covered under warranty. Very dependable only two trips to the dealership for the brakes. I would buy another G35 in a heart beat!!!
