I bought this car mostly based on its looks. Then I test drove it and fell in love with it. Since then I had the brake light switch replaced because of a squeaky noise. Then the clutch pedal assembly had to be replaced, because it was binding. Now the clutch is slipping at 14k, the dealer blames me although I treat the car like a baby. Very disappointed that a $36k needs a new clutch at 14k miles. So the fact that the tires only last about 18k miles, I'm looking at replacing tires and clutch in less than two years. By the way the mirror rattles, the console rattles, there is rattle in the window and a few more.

From the moment I took delivery of the G35x, I've been quite a happy camper. There are a slew of conveniences that the car brings, such as keyless entry, memory seat settings, MP3 playback, reclining rear seats, and so much more. I am especially looking forward to its AWD capabilities once the Vermont winter creeps in. There is a great feeling when I drive through busy street intersections, and people stop what they're doing to take notice of this fine car. You get so much car for your money.

You can't find more bang and amenities for the buck. Considered BMW, 350Z, Audi TT, IS300, and others, but could not get the performance or features for anything close to the G. Best car and most fun to drive of any I've owned.

After extensive research (including some on edmunds.com) I bought an '05 Garnet Fire G35 with the Premium package (keyless start, reclining rear seats, etc). I really like this car. Gets 20-24 MPG consistently (60/40 HWY/TWN). Very smooth riding with the exception of going over bumps on a turn (on ramp, etc) the cars seems to 'jiggle' slightly. I may be somewhat sensitive though since I traded in an '04 GTO that was very stable on the road. Smooth V6 that accelerates hard above 3500 RPM and has plenty of torque above 3000 RPM. Look around and get one that is loaded out. The cost is about the same as a base one in the used market and the features are worth a little leg work.

So I'd had three Accords in a row ('99, '01, '03), and wanted something sportier this time. I test-drove the BMW 330i and this, and found them pretty comparable, except for a) the price, and b) the AWD capabilities on the G35x, which are more sophisticated than those on the (not yet released) 330xi. I've put 300 miles on this car in the last five days, and I absolutely love it. It handles like a dream, it has power to spare, it's full of great luxury touches, and is just generally a superb car. I'm actually thinking I might keep this one longer than two years. And thanks to the AWD, it should manage to handle better than the Accord in the winter, too.

I was torn between buying an A4 3.0 (2005) or this car. I am happy with my choice except for a few things. The car does not have a gauge that tells the average miles/gal I am getting. Its pretty annoying trying to calculate it! There for some reason are little rattles in the interior cabin. When I go over bumps and play the stereo loud I hear them the most. The last thing would be the brake dust and the fuel economy. I was not expecting Honda civic gas mileage however I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. The acceleration is good but I don't feel as good as everyone makes it out to be. Overall this car is great for the AWD and added power. This is perfect for me, a college student w/no $.

While a fun car to drive, there are numerous troubles for a luxury sport coupe. The black paint is inferior, and worst of all, the dealer and Nissan says it is fine, though mentioning their paints require "lots of polish." Trouble with the seatbelt (jams in one position) was not handled by Orlando infinity. I now have trouble with the CD player and am convinced Orlando Infinity will say it's okay.

Hands down the best car for your money

Hands down the best car you can get for your money. In the dry weather the car can easily chase down, and carve a canyon road with a mustang GT or nissan 350z. But, its just as comfortable tracking through a blizzard with the likes of an acura mdx or honda pilot. The bmw 330xi, the audi a4 quattro, and the mercedes c320 4matic can simply not compete with this car. The awd system and engine are simply awesome, and to add injury to its competition, it comes with a very fashionable list of standard accessories (xenon lights, rear led lights, 17" wheels, heated leather seats, 6cd mp3 player, etc...) The only draw back is its mileage. It averages about 19-20mpg on the highway.

The car is quick and the engine sounds good but the transmission is rough shifting into reverse. The manual mode shifts with a bang almost every time. The brakes are spongy, warp easily and don't last long. The exhaust has rust problems and the gas mileage is alright but could be better. Handling is pretty tight but the car is skinny so body roll is more noticeable than others. The leather is soft and comfortable but rips easily. The interior is nice but looks dated and has a few squeaks and rattles but most cars do.

G35: From mine to hers, no getting back!

I bought it "for me," my wife drove it that same evening, I have not gotten it back since. I have never heard her talk about loving a car, but, she LOVES "her 2003 G35 Coup." Truly a great car; Fun, stylish, eye catching, powerful, smooth ride, excellent transmission using either automatic or optional manual. I will now make excuses to go to the store, taking "her" car,then logging 20 miles for a 3 mile round trip. Although I loved my 94 "40" Anniversary Corvette, the speed and handling of the G35 is (I truly believe)better than the Corvette. Having owned many fun, stylish or powerful cars, the G35 combines all three characteristics into one HOT CAR. We("SHE")LOVES our(HER) G35 Coup.

This car is beautiful, fast and fun to drive with all the bells and whistles. But it is lighter in weight than an Acura or a Lexus. That is the only set back.Its too light and seems not as solid a car for the money that it is priced at.

I did extensive research beween the G35 and Lexus ES330. I originally went to Lexus b/c of the brand name, but was told to also check out the G35. I'm sure glad I did! The performance is outstanding, and the interior quality gives up nothing to Lexus. The ride is not quite as smooth or quiet, but the higher performance and sportier look more than make up for it. I highly recommend you check this vehicle out when shopping the entry-luxury category.

Love this car. Tires are expensive and services are expensive. I have the 6MT and haven't had any problems with it. Only to replace the battery and the driver side window motor all covered by the warranty @ 35,000 miles. Fun to drive and enough room to bring my luggage for trips. Beats the automatic cars any day. Excellent engine, smooth sound. Love the exhaust growl as well.

I cannot due justice to the bang for your buck with this vehicle. I have the performance package, obsidian black on chrome 18" wheels, fin and molding kit. Willow leather interior fully loaded with nav and 225 watt Bose system. I black tinted the rear windows. Does anyone remember Night Rider? A K&N air filter gives it about 5 more horses that pushes it to 285 hp. The car growls when I hit it. I turn more heads than a Paris Hilton video. This vehicle is solid and and true performer. I am a V8 guy normally. I went from Jag super charged V8 that put out 370 hp. I was concerned about losing that huge punch that only a big V8 can deliver at any speed. I found it! No regrets.

Even with the 5AT transmission, the coupe is a very fast and fun car to drive. The manumatic mode helps to overcome any shortcomings of having a manual, particularly in heavy traffic. The sport tuned suspension is a well recommended option, the 19" wheels look great and the ride is smoother with this car than on previous models with 17" wheels. Only downside to the car so far is the seats have side bolsters that tend to jab most people in the shoulder or back, but otherwise an extremely comfortable, well built and luxurious sports coupe that you can get for $40k or less.

While the 2005 G35X is fun to drive in a straight line and pretty goon on flat turns, after just 4 months I am ready to take a bath on it and get a 2006 BMW 3 series. The brake peddle squeeks, the windows rattle too much and there is a noise in the pillar that drives me nuts. It is fun to drive, roomy and less than a BMW, but as they say you get what you pay for and it doesn't feel near as solid as a Jetta I once had. After just 1000 miles the firm solid ride turned into a floating avg. car. To me it's little more than an Altima with luxury features. I got XM, Premium, DVD in mine. Over all I am very disappointed with the purchase.

The excellent Motor Trend and Car & Driver reviews were accurate. I purchased a fully optioned G35 Coupe with Sport Tuned Suspension etc. I could have purchased a BMW 330i for a little bit more expense but am confident that I have the better value, style and performance (i.e. better braking figures and acceleration etc.)

OK I traded my FX35 which I owned for 6 months, liked it. I wanted something sporty and quick. Reseached the anniv.Z, Mazda RX8, BMW 3 & Crossfire.The obvious was the G355M.Great styling and it is quick, as fast as the Z with more comfort and function.No sunroof in the Z.Rx8 too slow,BMW too over priced for what you get, not to mention the service costs.Crossfire cool design and very quick,but Chrysler service is notorius for being poor and they hate to do warrenty work.

I bought my coupe last month with all the bells and whistles. The car's a dream to drive, and it turns heads. As an engineer myself, I have a special appreciation for the challenges associated with successfully blending form and substance. Infiniti's designers have achieved a wonderful balance between the car's appearance and performance. I was originally considering the BMW330i; but a test drive of both cars, along with the G35's appearance won me over to the G35. The slight difference in price of the two cars was not a factor in my decision.

With out a doubt the sexiest coupe for the money. Great off the line, it is a pleasure see everyone in your rearview mirror. Suprisingly, the rear seats are roomy. I have 2 girls (9 & 13) and they fit just fine. It doubles as a famly car, but its all sportcar. It is tight on the curves. You feel like one with the road. The power is not wasted with spin outs. The tires bite and you fly. I'm going back to the dealer for a second one. "A must have, enjoy!!"

I have just picked up my G35x yesterday. It is a very fun car to drive. I still have my Nissan Altima 2.5SL but it beats it from the bottom up. The G35x has very good pickup and audio system. The sunroof is cool and the wood tim is not cheap. Alot of people say the brakes give off alot of dust, but it is hard to see because the wheels are aluminum. I like the 6 speed manuelmatic. And the all wheel drive. Also the reclinding seats as well. Still need to figure out some more stuff.

While researching mid-size sedans under $35,000, I found that the 2005 G35 sedan is "hands down" the best value. While in all honesty I would rather be driving the BMW 3 series, by the time you add on all the features that come standard on the G35 (such as leather) to the 3 series, you're looking at at least a $5,000 difference. The G35's handling, while not as tight as the BMW's, is quite capable of almost anything you can throw at it. All in all, if you're looking to stay under $35k, the G35 is your best bet. I am very happy with the G35's handling, acceleration, and appearance.

I love everything about my G35. I picked the sedan over the coupe because it is easier to get in and out of it, especially when taking more than one passenger. It has a lot of pep, it it smooth as silk to drive and it looks sporty for a sedan. I think it is the best value on the road!

Positives: Great car, overall. Exceptional power and comfort. Good visibility for changing lanes and backing. Various climate and stereo controls take some getting use to but make sense once mastered. My AWD X model is great in snow and the best thing going for slippery roads. The G35 is much more stable in dicey road conditions than my former Audi Quattro. Negatives: Optional mud guards do not prevent stone chips from occuring between the rear wheel wells and rear doors. Paint quality is a bit shabby. Dealer service rep (Elk Grove California) was not at all helpful with respect to addressing a couple of issues that I brought up during the 3,500 mile service.

This vehicle replaced my 2005 Lexus IS 300. Most of my review is directly comparing the G35 to the Lexus, since it's in the same class. The G35 seems to be a class winner in my eyes. More power and interior room than the IS 300, and Audi A4, and possibly more of both than a BMW 330i. What ever trivial gripes I have about the vehicle are forgot when I get on a back road and get to play with the 6 speed manual trans. Body roll is very minimal for its size, steering is respectively quick, and the manual gear box is simple to use, and fun to really bang through the gears :). Very nice howl of the 3.5 v-6, fairly quiet inside, but still louder than most of its class competitors

I purchased this G35 4 DR 6M sedan privately in 2006. I had been watching the reviews through the magazines and was really impressed with the style, quality and performance for the money. When I drove the car in a road test, I was sold. It had 24,000 km. I have now driven it for over 3 years and still love every time I sit in the seat. It now shows 82,000 km on the clock and I have not had any significant issues to deal with. Sure the mileage isn't great, but it didn't buy it for its economy; but more for its performance and agility. Turn off the VDC (vehicle dynamic control) and you can turn this docile elite sedan into an adrenaline rush of acceleration. I love it as do passengers.

I purchased my G35 in June 07 with 29k miles. Since then, I added 22k more miles, with few troubles. First, the tires I have are great, and I just rotated them, yesterday, after 22k miles. I don't think I will change them until they have close to 40k on them. They are definitely NOT OEM. Second, I had a funny scrunching noise in the suspension, possibly the shocks/struts. The dealership replaced this free of charge under warranty (though I still hear some of the same sound - revisiting dealer!). Third, I had a dummy light come on 2 weeks ago, which the manual said was low tire pressure. I inflated the, the light went away! Its fast, a little bumpy, very sexy, and it makes me happy!

Overall, best buy in this class...period. Compared to Acura TL, but FWD was a turnoff. I have driven the G35X in snow, sleet, freezing rain, and dry...and nothing can stop it. The "snow" mode is priceless in itself! Improvements in the interior from 2004 are many, including better seats, nice gauge layout, and real aluminum trim. The best part is actually driving though. Acceleration is superb. Braking is strong. Handles well. AWD steering is heavy though, so it takes effort. SMARTKEY: worth the price to leave keys in pocket and go! MP3 player works great with burned CDs. Price is good considering content.

Nearly Perfect

Had difficulty finding "the car", but when I did, I bought it. Athens Blue 6MT with just about everything. Very stiff at first, but had become 'normal' in 5K miles. Absolutely no problems. Fit and finish is flawless. The Nav. system is obviously a carryover from the Japanese Skyline since the joystick is on the right, making for a bit of a reach. Driver seat bolsters are little tight for a 280# person, but are molding with time. Seat adjustment switches need to be moved as do the seat heater switches. Car is a definite head turner. Infiniti did a beautiful job with the car. It is a joy to drive. Only wish LA freeways were less congested. One trip to San Diego was a kick.

Just purchased the G35 coupe with prem. pkg. It's an absolute blast to drive! Great performance and great looks - you can't beat it for the price. The car is great overall although a few minor things could use improvement.

Best Small Sedan.....Period

I'm one of those customers that car dealers love - I buy way too many cars too quickly. I've had 10 cars in the past 12 years. I do Extensive research before buying a car so I get a good deal and am as pleased as possible with my purchase. But that's why I generally go back for another purchase - there's either something that could be better with my car or there's something better in a newer car. After purchasing/driving the G35, I can say this is without a doubt The Best car I've ever owned. Interior finishes truly luxury. Exterior styling is sporty, but understated. Driving experience is unmatched: Very powerful, smooth daily driver, and yet will respond to aggressive driving nicely

I really enjoy driving this car. Being in sales and on the road alot the Sirius radio is a god send. The fast pick up getting on and off highways is great. As far as styling this car is a looker this is a sexy car even with 4 doors.

Best ever auto I've ever owned, and I have owned many. The blending of performance and luxury at slightly over 30k can't be touched by any other vehicle on the road today.

2005 G35x with 18600 miles on it!

I found this car on 8/1/08 with 18636 miles on it! It has premium pkg C and I guess the sport package since I have a full sized spare tire and rim in the trunk. I have been very impressed by my car. This car is for the "grown man" that likes to play with his toys still. I'm a 23yr old male who was considering a wrx sti limited also. But after my test drives I was willing to lose some power to get way more luxury and comfort. This has to be the best blend of power/luxury in my experience.

I Love This Asian Cruise Missle

The bullet nose hints at the performance of this relatively cost effective AWD sports sedan. Forward midship engine placement results in a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution. 100% RWD with blessed over steer until slip is detected, then up to 50/50 AWD keeps the car on track even in snow and heavy downpours. The efficient FM 3.5 V6 engine has been a dream for the price point - why spend $15K+ more for a Euro badge and more maintenance costs? BMW = Burning More Wealth; Audi= An Ultra Dollar Incinerator; Get a better AWD performance investment with Infiniti

Lots of fun to drive on smooth roads. Road noise is awful, like driving a drum. Styling is fantanstic. Acceleration not much better than my acura legend coupe. Surprisingly good on ice.
