Used 2005 INFINITI G35 x AWD 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Hands down the best car for your money
Hands down the best car you can get for your money. In the dry weather the car can easily chase down, and carve a canyon road with a mustang GT or nissan 350z. But, its just as comfortable tracking through a blizzard with the likes of an acura mdx or honda pilot. The bmw 330xi, the audi a4 quattro, and the mercedes c320 4matic can simply not compete with this car. The awd system and engine are simply awesome, and to add injury to its competition, it comes with a very fashionable list of standard accessories (xenon lights, rear led lights, 17" wheels, heated leather seats, 6cd mp3 player, etc...) The only draw back is its mileage. It averages about 19-20mpg on the highway.
Nice Car with Good Balance
I was torn between buying an A4 3.0 (2005) or this car. I am happy with my choice except for a few things. The car does not have a gauge that tells the average miles/gal I am getting. Its pretty annoying trying to calculate it! There for some reason are little rattles in the interior cabin. When I go over bumps and play the stereo loud I hear them the most. The last thing would be the brake dust and the fuel economy. I was not expecting Honda civic gas mileage however I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. The acceleration is good but I don't feel as good as everyone makes it out to be. Overall this car is great for the AWD and added power. This is perfect for me, a college student w/no $.

Excellent value, minor annoyances
The car is quick and the engine sounds good but the transmission is rough shifting into reverse. The manual mode shifts with a bang almost every time. The brakes are spongy, warp easily and don't last long. The exhaust has rust problems and the gas mileage is alright but could be better. Handling is pretty tight but the car is skinny so body roll is more noticeable than others. The leather is soft and comfortable but rips easily. The interior is nice but looks dated and has a few squeaks and rattles but most cars do.
Strictly OK
Loved this car for the first few months, but then the noises started. Replaced all the window tracks in the doors at 19k, rattle in the A-pillar started soon after and still persists (I drive 80 miles a day, so pretty obnoxious). Brakes have squealed the entire time I've had the car, despite replacing the front and rear pads and front rotors. I also had to take electrical tape to the electronic rear view mirror to keep it from rattling. Of course, the dealer cannot diagnose any of these problems (and I would have to pay for them to do so as rattles aren't covered under warranty). Frankly I would rather have a german car with lots of mechanical problems that they can at least be diagnosed.
Loads of Fun
I really enjoy driving this car. Being in sales and on the road alot the Sirius radio is a god send. The fast pick up getting on and off highways is great. As far as styling this car is a looker this is a sexy car even with 4 doors.
