Used 2005 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
everything the 350Z isn't
very nice car, doesn't look 8 years old. body style is timeless. if you can, get a 06' 6-speed but @ least try to get a 05' they did a much needed refresh. got almost 90,000 miles on the original clutch. i was looking for a 350Z but i could find one with the options i wanted & the G35 has all those options standard so i got the G35. also most 350Z's are modded to hell!
Good Riddance
I've owned many new cars over my lifetime and I can honestly say this has been by far the biggest dissapointment I have ever had. There is nothing worse than making a $500 car payment on a car that you are not thrilled with. Yes the exterior is phenomenal, but I felt like I was dating a supermodel without a brain or personality. The auto tranny was terrible(the manual isn't much better), the interior highly UNrefined, and the suspension very crude, having plenty of grip, but too harsh for roads here in New England. I guess if you drive in warm climates with no potholes, or haven't been treated to having cars with some refinement, I'm sure the car will be fine for you. No hard feelings.

Repairs very expensive
I purchased the car new 7 years ago with the optional 7 year/100,000 warranty. I've had all service done at my Infinity dealership and total repairs not covered under warranty to date are $9300. My wife purchased the Acura TL the same day 7 years ago with the 7 year/100,000 warranty. All her service was done at the Acura dealership and total repairs to date are $3600. I love driving the Infinity----I don't care for the Acura, but the repairs are just expensive to her car. That's really my only complaint about the car. Both extended warranties just expired last week, and both cars have around 80,000 miles. I probably will purchase another Infinity when this car dies.
Hands up on G35!
look at the mileage first! after certain 13 years, the g35 will start to show signs of wear and tear. Infiniti G35 that I love so much has accumulated numerous issues even problems. if you work on your g35 yourself, then its constantly going to need a lot of tender loving care. if you do not keep up with maintenance, your G35 will alert you with a warning. security issues are usually the biggest problems, my back trunk won't open, learn about your vehicle. do a full diagnostic, to be honest, I change my own fuel pump, recently.excited the many things you can do to your G35, upgrades are important, any little changes can benefit or upset your g35. MAINTENANCE PEOPLE, maintenance.

Joe's G35 Coupe
Overall, this car is a great ride for the money. I looked long and hard to find this quality, power and finess for under 40K and when it came time to decide, it was the easist decision I've ever made. A quick note though, if you buy one, be prepared for a bumpy ride. The suspension is very tight - you will feel every bump on the road - the question is will you care?
