I purchased this car in July of 2010 and have not regretted it for a single moment. I chose a diamond graphite coupe, 6MT revup, with black leather interior. I wanted a sports coupe that provided a sense of luxury and performance without breaking the bank. When I purchased this car I was considering one of my long time favorites; the BMW E46 M3, along with the G37 coupe, and BMW 335i coupe. Though I knew both BMWs were better performers, I decided against them after extensive research that showed I would likely experience expensive regular maintenance and frequent, costly repairs. The G37 was also faster and had an upgraded, nicer interior, but the exterior left something to be desired for my taste. This car is extremely reliable, low cost maintenance, and loads of fun. I literally look forward to driving it every day. The G35 coupe is truly a beautiful car with a timeless design and I get compliments on it all the time from tuners, luxury car owners, to casual, young and old. I would argue it is one of Infiniti's best exterior designs. Concerning maintenance costs, this car has been great. I purchased it with 50k on the odometer and with it being a daily driver, it now has 166k on the odometer. My most expensive repairs have been replacing the clutch / flywheel at 150k and the power steering pump shortly after; both for under 2k... that's it! I had to replace the steering wheel clock spring and did it myself for around $50 dollars. (Used part) PROS... APPEARANCE - now this is of course completely based on ones preference, but I think this car is beautiful... and based on the feedback I get on almost a daily basis, the G35 is an aesthetically pleasing design, even by today's standards. It still holds its own next to the newest designs. It was truly innovative and groundbreaking at its debue and it still shows today with the timeless, classic lines, defining its motif. PERFORMANCE - fun, fun, fun... Strong, responsive engine. With 298hp it is not the fastest out there but still a competitive performer. This particular engine is shared with the 35th anniversary 350Z 300hp engine. The only difference in the intake assembly making a difference of about 2hp. With the 350Z 'Z tube' you get to the even 300hp mark. SOUND - the exhuast note is glorious (almost exotic) and coveted by many car enthusiasts. One of the best 6 cylinder exhaust notes around, especially in this price range. Most are either too raspy, high pitched or simply unheard. I get thumbs up all the time for the G's unique, tonal qualities. Pure bliss... RELIABILITY - The engine still runs like new and doesn't miss a beat. It does burn a little oil... about 1 quart every 3-5k between oil change intervals. PRACTICALITY - Great, especially considering it is a coupe. I have a 16 month old and a 3 month old and I can get them both in the back seat. (One forward facing and one rear facing child seat) with plenty of room for myslef at 6ft. Trunk space is actually decent and the rear seats let down for larger items. Headroom is good up front, but the back not so much for taller passengers. CONS... RIDE COMFORT - don't expect a Cadillac /Benz plush ride. With the low stanced Nismo-tuned sport suspension, this car has a firm ride no doubt. I don't mind it much, but my wife and other passengers have stated it is less than desireable. It is smooth on the open highway, but does not absorb bumps and potholes well as you would expect from a 'luxury car'. It is slightly softer than the 350Z. NOISY Manual Transmission - On forums, the G35 and 350Z 6spd transmissions are often referred to as 'the rock crusher'. The clutch is noisy and chattery. You really notice it when sitting at drive thrus. Mine is even more noisy since I replaced the flywheel with a single mass, opposed to the oem dual mass. QUALITY / Materials - Interior materials are not the best but have held up well. An average mix of leather, plastics, and real aluminum trim that were fair and comparable for the mid 2000's. AUDIO / Electronics... The stereo sounds good but the interface is old and dated. I have since replaced it with a modern double-din touch screen that resolves this and many other technology related desires. TIRE WEAR - in its stock configuration, this car's camber setup eats up tires (inner wear) and does not have the adjustability needed to align for long wear. However, I purchased SPC's front and rear camber kit and can get a flat alignment that wears even for 40k. Anyway, I could get a lot more granular with this review but all things considered, I absolutely love this car. The pros outweigh the bad by multitudes. It has been a great car and I plan on keeping it for years to come. I am a detail enthusiast and take immaculate care of all vehicles I own, so I expect it to continue running and looking great. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is looking for a classy, reliable, grand tourer...

If you want a sports car with a luxury feel, get the G35 coupe. This car is simply awesome. It isnt overly common like the BMW 3 series, but it handles just as great. It is very pretty to look, and then again it isn't in the shop every other week like my old A4. My one gripe with this car would have to be the fuel economy, if your lucky you'll avg about 20mpg for a tank, compared to the 30 of the A4. But then again somthing needs to fuel that monster. You step on the pedal and your flying, before i bought this car i drove the IS250,325CI,A4, and C230. The G blows all of them away. It gives you much more power(that is much more reliable) then all of its competitors and for a lower price.

Front tires need replaced every 7k miles

Love driving this car, except for the front tire wear. I am on my second set of front tires in 1 yr. Both sets of tires have had uneven wear on the inside treads, about every other 1" of tire there is a flat and peak area.

I've only had this vehicle for 7 months and it has been in the shop over 20 days and counting. The oil consumption on this engine is comparable to that of a 2-stroke engine - one part oil to 20 of gas. The vehicle has gone through several oil consumption test, the valve covers have been replaced twice, the exhaust pipes are covered in black desposit and inifiniti won't acknowledge it as a lemon. This is not the kind of treatment that one would expect from a "luxury" dealership. Do your homework and research this car very carefully, if you do a quick web search you will find out I'm not this only one with this kind of problem.

Bought this coupe used with only 24,000 miles on it. Loved the exterior styling and the handling (still do). It's been very reliable except the drivers side power window, but I only put about 7500 miles a year on the car. The owners manual recommends premium gas but it will drive OK on regular. Bose sound system is fine. I don't have nav. Climate control works great. Front seats are OK, but my wife complains about them and about getting out of the low seat. Not much knee room in back. Interior materials were never luxurious but still look nice. Trunk is a little small but the back seat folds down for extra cargo space. The car sits low, which looks good and maybe aids handling and aerodynamics, but can be a problem with parking blocks, large potholes and other roadway hazards where underside clearance could be an issue. Pros: Outstanding handling and plenty of power. Very stable and fun to drive on the highway, if it is not icy or snowy. Drives well in town too, if not icy or snowy. Exhaust has nice but not intrusive tone. Solid, gorgeous, sporty car. Cons: Road noise is high at all speeds above 20 mph. New, quiet-tread tires help some, but still noisy by modern standards; gas mileage not great even using premium, would be better if the automatic had another gear or two; terrible traction in snow with just all-season tires; have replaced drivers side window motor twice. But for the road noise and the lack of traction in snow, I would drive this car anywhere the roads are paved and good, across the country or across town.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
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 !!!

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.

The car is beautiful and fun to drive. Receive lots of looks. It is fast. The downside: Lots of road noise. Always losing small items beside the seat and the console - almost impossible to retrieve items due to design. Tires only last about 18K miles - something I wish I had known prior to purchase.

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!

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.

Apart from good performance and its great looks, this vehicle has excellent brakes. I recenlty witnessed a major crash, all five cars in front of me from three lanes were flying everywhere, I could have very well been involved in that mess, but the brakes stopped the car so quick. Everyone was going at least 65 m/h. My previous car would have never made it. This car is worth it.

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?

After 40,000 miles and almost 3 years with my 6MT G, I still love it. I drove an 05 BMW 330 the other day and it certainly was better in some ways but its just a little too bland compared to the G. The tire life and road noise are the only real downsides. Hopefully more tires will become available for the 19" wheels in the future. Need some touring compound tires that will last more then 20k. The transmission was just replaced under warranty because the 6th gear syncro was out. Otherwise no problems. avg 24-25mpg with a mix of hwy and city driving. (the benefits of a man.trans)

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.

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.

I love everything about my car but one thing. I gave it a score of "4" on Build Quality only because the car is too low. This is not my first sports car so I know they come low to the ground but on the Coupe you can actually go over a simple can or small rock in the road and it will scrape the undercarriage and make it sound likes its tearing it up. You also have to be extremely careful of potholes too..and I mean small ones.

Love the car. Be prepared to lay out a lot of money on tires if you buy the sport tuned suspension package. I got 16,000 miles out of the first set of tires and had to spend $1,500.00 for new Michelins. In the long run it is worth it because the car brings me great happiness every day. The only complaint that I have is the right rear brake has squeaked since the day I drove off the lot and the dealer has been rather unresponsive.

Since the purchase of my new ride, i have found that there is nothing to complain about. I have owned several cars with different dynamics, driven even more, and found that for what i needed(more like wanted), the G35 coupe 6MT covered all the bases. Preformance, comfort( i fit fine in the seats, 5'10'180lbs, these seats were meant to hug you and hold you still, sorry for those that are overweight)and especially the styling all do what they were intended to do. Satisfy. There are only a few things that bug me. One thing was the plastic grill. some billet would look nice there. The biggest issue and worst thing about the car is the dipstick. Terrible design.

I bought this car last year on 6/23/07. It needed a new tranny and a 3rd clutch @ 50K because of the previous owner not knowing how to drive it. I love everything about this car as far as performance, but the amber yellow lighting inside reminds of a TC. I test drove a BMW 330CI before my G purchase & it was a joke. I get about 18-20mpg city & 24-28 highway, which is pretty good considering I have 20" wheels, a heavy foot & 3" exhaust. the interior rattles a lot & no luck w/ the dealer. I have 61K fun miles on this car & plan to drive it to the ground then rebuilt the motoer w/ a turbo.

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.

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.

I have only put 1000 miles on this car, but I love it. I drove a 2000 Mustang GT for 5 years so this was an upgrade. I have lost nothing in straight line performance and it handles much better. It also is much more luxurious. I think it is gorgeous and the performance is excellent. I am getting daily compliments on how it looks. It also sounds very nice, although nothing beats the old Mustang. The price is a fair value, probably a very good value. I considered a BMW 330i, but it costs more. I also considered another Mustang, but this car is easily worth the extra $9 to $10,000 more.

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.

I went through my younger years oggling the hot cars of my era (60's)promising myself that some day I would own one. Now in my 50's, and having done the four-door, luxury routine (mostly Lincolns), I decided it was my time. I learned of the Infiniti quality (absolutely tops) owning a four-door I35, and finally decided "what the hell" and bought the two door G35 coupe (auto.). Quality and exceptional performance (engine and suspension) that I dreamed of as a kid. Most exciting care I ever have owned.
Best ever

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.
Holy cow!

I Just purchased a new G 35 with the premium and sport packages and it does not disappoint. This car is everything magazines have been raving about and MORE! It is now clear why BMW needs to revamp its 3 series to remain competitive in this market segment. If you are looking for a a luxury sports car that moves like you would not believe, looks great, and will not break the bank, then the G35 (NOT THE 330) is what you should buy. As far as I am concerned, this is the new benchmark in this car segment. Time for BMW to move over!

I've had the car for three months now and so far so good.Great engine,great trans,handles awesome.I got the 19 inch wheel package which is great in dry weather so so in wet weather park it in the snow.The seats really hug the driver but can be a litte uncomfortable at times.I was suprised at how functional the trunk and back seats are for a coupe.The back seats fit two average size adults fairly comfortably and the trunk holds two suitcases.The one downside is at the pumps but you kind of know that going in.
G35X fun! Fun! Fun!!

My G35X is a sleek powerful driving machine. This is the first performance vehicle I have ever owned and I LOVE it. The look, style & appearence deceives the unaware of the power and handling in the X model. The keyless entry & ignition to the wrap-around console & driver seat make the driver feel confortable & in control. The throaty sound at start to the powerful accelaration makes driving this car FUN! There is plenty of head & leg room, reclining seats in the back & I upgraded to the Bose sound system. The rosewood console & leather bucket seats give the interior a finished look. The brakes are touchy until you adjust to them & the materials on the dash aren't of the highest quality

This g-35 coupe is my second in one year. I was involved in a serious accident where i was broad sided on the passenger side. The door was completely sheared off. I was saved by the heavy steel bars installed by their manufacturer. They had to be sawed off. Air bags to the side of me went off, along with above the door where glass shattered. Officers were so amazed of this vehicle's safety feature, they were asking my son, what make of car was is? The car was totalled.

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.

For pure fun and comfort, I cannot think of a car that I have owned in the last 10 years that has given me a greater driving thrill than this one.
Coupe is Marvelous!

This is one of the best handling cars I have ever had. The weight balance , front to rear is aerodynamic, transmission shifts smoothly and it has plenty of power.
Best value for your money

After driving a G35, RX8 and a 3 series, i found that the value for my money was the G35 coupe 6mt. The design surpasses the others, the performance upstages the beemer and rx8, and the handling is the perfect compromise between sport and luxury. Also, the dealership experience far exceeds that of other dealers that i visited.
Amazing Car

I just got this car a couple weeks ago, but have been driving it for a couple of years. This is pretty much the most fun car I've ever driven, second only to my '70 'Cuda! Also the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I simply love it!!
Great car for money

This is a great car for money. I drove BMW and, BMW is not worth all that extra money.

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.
Good

The only this i have to say bad about this vehicle is that the front seats are rather uncomfortable. I understand its a sports coupe, but its also suppose to be a luxury coupe. i feel they need to recline better and be more comfortable, but other that hands down, its a great car, and has great speed and handling.
