Used 2005 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
My Second G35 But Loaded
We had a 2003 in 12-02 and traded it in for a 2005 Coupe because their were more and you could get a little better Price. I wanted the Sport-Suspension pkg and worth every penny. Premium pkg. Aero pkg. The splash guards look great. and it seems all of them come with the trunk carpet. I do miss the 12-volt socket on the 03' that was left of the glove box on the outside. I liked the seats when you let the back seat passenger out and you put the seat back up the seat would go back to it's original place. The 05' does not do that. We do not know if everyone knows this but this car is one of the safest cars on the road the roof is like a cage it is unbelievable I have first Hand Knowledge.
Love the car, but...
Overall this has been a great car. However, we are experiencing a big problem with the front, side airbags. Just replaced the driver's side a few months ago to the tune of $1,700; now the driver's side bag has failed and Infiniti wants even more. I believe this is a serious safety problem and extremely pricey. Further, Inifiniti will not give any leeway to me even though this is a problem that should not be occurring in any car. They appear to not want to stand behind safety issues. BTW, what's worse, they turned this over to Nissan so even though you may think you're buying a premium car, they treat this as a Nissan problem. (Acura completey stood behind a seatbelt issue.)

Just Purchased
Having just purchased a pre-owned G35x, I can only offer my initial thoughts. The exterior design, particularly with chrome wheels and tinted windows, is upscale without being too flashy. I can't get enough of the acceleration and handling which blow the doors off my previous car, an Audi A4. I echo the general comments about poor fuel economy and somewhat sub-standard interior plastics which contrast the quality-feeling upholstery. For bang for the buck, however, you cant top the G35, especially if you wait a year and save 10 grand on a pre-owned.
Great Car !!!
I have had Lexus, MB & BMW sports cars in the last 8 years. Forget about price, but this car blows them all away by far. Handling, quickness & styling for under $40K, WHAT A STEAL. I will buy another one when I wear this one out, which I should in about 10 years !!!
Very Impressed
I have had a number of cars, but I have to say I have never loved a car so much this far into ownership. I am usually bored and ready to get rid of a car after not even a year but not Infiniti! The quality is just impressive to me. I had it in the dealer shop a couple of times but nothing major. The gas mileage is really good to me, especially for a luxury car. The transmission is the absolute smoothest of any car I have ever driven or rode in, sometimes feels like your driving a CVT transmission! This is definitely a car that will last a long time if taken care of.
