Used 2005 INFINITI G35 Coupe Consumer Reviews
updated review
I still like this car, but after a few years it has it's pros & cons. Avg MPG is 21.4 (city/highway) A lot of tiny things brings this car down. Be sure to visit a dealership if your car burns a lot of oil! Infiniti will perform a oil change & document your levels & have you return after 1,000 miles to see if you need a new engine. I will be getting a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD 6 M/T more reliability & about the same performance.
Decent car, not worth the money
For the prices these cars are going for and the price i paid for it ($11,000) it is not worth it. For starters it suffers from several issues that are common with the model. Some of these common issues are the window motors, the interior falling apart, and burning oil. For the Manual transmission one some gears grind and in mine it was 5th gear. For as much money that these cars cost, the quality is subpar. Yes, the engine is strong but you'll encounter some issues that are ridiculous. In mine specifically, the ABS pump went bad. I know people that have cars with 2 or 3 hundred thousand miles and i have a couple friends who are mechanics and they were all amazed that the ABS pump would go bad. My car had 120,000 miles on it. Also it was having electrical issues which led me to just trade it in for a newer car. There were many things i loved about this car, since the day i first saw it on the road as a little kid, I always wanted one and i was stoked when i finally was able to buy one. The car is fast and the V6 is a great motor. BUT, i was very disappointed at the bad quality as a whole for the car. I dont recommend if it's going to be your main source of transportation.

My Infiniti G35 coupe
Okay, so this car is amazing. First of all, I bought this for a good price. It's an 05 Infiniti G35 coupe. It's got dual exhaust which brings the horse power to 285. Great on highways, very loud. Leather interior touch screen GPS built in. I have a 70.000 mile warranty on her :) Brakes are great. This car has so much power I can't even go an hour without driving her. I got a Blue one with a cream strip. The engine is perfect and the alarm on it is great. If someone even gets close to my car my remote will tell me to go out and check it, so high tech! I highly recommend this car, classy sexy and with the perks of a nice fast sports car. You won't regret it!
Happy with my 6MT
I haven't experienced the brake or abnormal tire wear problems that many others have, although I concur that the OEM tires -- which I replaced with pricey but far superior Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s -- left a lot to be desired. I usually average 21.8 mpg in mostly highway driving. We've all felt the pain of higher gas prices recently, and for the past couple weeks I've been driving with a very light foot (very atypical for me) to see how much the mileage would improve. I was absolutely astonished to get an honest 28 mpg on a recent 110 mile highway trip where I limited my max speed to 60 mph. I cruised at around 70 on the return trip and the overall mileage dropped to 27.2. Not too shabby!
Not up to standards
I've owned this car since it was new, and I've not been happy with it for a while. The tires don't last, the interior wears quickly (not that it looked that spectacular in the first place), the radio is less than user friendly, the paint is inferior and the road noise is simply unacceptable in a car that costs this much. Actually the road noise is worse than in my son's Toyota pick up truck or my wife convertible. And the turning radius is inferior to those vehicles as well, despite what edmunds or any other website might tell you. Not a fan of the traction/stability control - almost got me hit a few times by hitting the brakes and killing the accelerator. I now drive without it.
