2005 INFINITI G35 Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

This is truly an astonishing machine. The bond that I have shared with Infiniti has moved me to become an Infiniti salesman. First off I have owned two this model, a 2004 g35 manual and now a 2005. Opt for the 2005 if you have the option, it has a sexier hood taillights and other features, like more horsepower etc. It drives amazing. We have a lot of hills and curves in Wisconsin so I can truly say I have tested these cars. If you floor it after 3000rpm hold on tight as you are pushed into the plush leather seats. So comfortable and well built. Fuel economy is 30mpg hwy not bad for a 306 horsepower beast. You will not regret owning this vehicle I promise. Way better than is300,tl,bmw etc.

I waited for the 2005 G35 Coupe model which was released in late October 2004. The interior materials and instrument panel display are MUCH nicer than the 2004 model. Dual power seat recliners and tilt w/ telescoping steering wheel are now standard equipment for 2005 as well. But, most of all, there is the newly available Sport Suspension Package which includes better handling and nice looking 19" wheels--you will not be disappointed with this package! Combine the Sport Pkg with the Premium Pkg and you have the perfect blend of sport and luxury in one vehicle. A bargain at 36-37K, especially when compared to high-line makes like BMW & Mercedes which cost thousands more for less vehicle.

And other great cars. The Infiniti is now my wife's primary car, but she still let's me drive it from time to time. I like a sporty handling car, and this is it, firm but not harsh. People think I have a new car and don't believe it is 12 years old with 152,000 miles on it. I'd like to replace it, but I'm having trouble prying my wife's hands off the steering wheel. Finally in the Spring of 2018, when the car was 13 years old with 155,000 miles on the odometer, I traded the Infiniti for a Subaru Legacy, partly because the nearest Infiniti dealer here in Maine is 45 miles away.

You can't go wrong with this car. My old car died unexpectedly, so I was in a bind to get something that looked good, was inexpensive but sporty and had four doors. I found this clean six-speed manual G35 on a used car website, the price was only $8700. It had 85K miles on it, was in great shape inside and out, had 18 inch wheels, dark tint, black on black with leather interior and the Bose radio. I only drive manual transmission cars, so I jumped on it, and I've had it two weeks now. It's not perfect, but I seriously love this car. The GREAT things about it are: It's quick. Acceleration is top notch! Shifting is short and smooth, passing is easy, and the engine has a low roar that will get you in a good mood. It feels solid on the road. Handling is great. The styling doesn't scream "I'm 11 years old!" at all. It still looks really good. When I tell people it's a 2005, they are surprised. Other good things to note - the inside is roomy for a sports sedan, even in the back seat. Power outlets, three cubbies for storage, in-dash 6 disc CD changer, and an armrest that comes down with cupholders for the rear passengers. I like the location of the clock and the features like cruise control, seat memory, and the dash are easy to use and locate. As far as getting a sporty sedan with the most bang for your buck, a used G35 is the way to go. Now - the bad stuff is the same as other reviewers. The inside is a bit noisy - little clicks, clanks and creaks as you are driving. They are slight but you will notice them after a while and wish they would go away. I also don't know why the Bose audio is supposed to be spectacular because it's nothing special. Not much bass unless you really crank it. I'm already thinking about upgrading the head unit and speakers, because I had better factory audio in my old Mustang. The inside materials and design are also basic and nothing special. Also the turning radius seems a bit wide. Overall though, unless you are really nitpicky about the negatives, I would recommend this car in a heartbeat. UPDATE...Edmunds asked me to update my review. I've had the car six months and I still love it. I just might be an Infiniti fan for life.

I bought the car a month ago, I always liked this car in coupe model and for a ten year old car it out performs even the newer sports cars in the market. The powerful VQ motor will get you excited each time you turn the ignition On, overall its a fun car with a lot to offer, I like the style better than the G37 newer model, no offense, as a G35 driver I must say that this sports car will make you feel like a teenager again, turns heads especially the girls, a good value automobile.
