Used 2006 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
Thank You Heaven
"Word to the wise!! Buy this and stay young!!" Went from an Audi A4 (DON'T BUY ONE) to this car and omg what an amazing tranformation. Never been in the shop!! Audi stayed in the shop 8months out of 3 years of ownership and i purchased the audi new!! Just got back from miami and the drive was a lil crampy but that was expected because its a sports car, but, the speed and power is amazing!! Will recommend this car to anyone!! Especially to single men!!
Love it
I have had numerous vehicles including Mercdes Benz, Acrua, Honda, etc and I am nothing but impressed with my Infiniti. The AWD is AMAZING in the Utah snow storm, handles by far better and feels more secure than our newer Expeditions AWD system. I was skeptical as there is only one Infiniti dealership in Utah to service the car, but they have been amazing to work with. Always take care of me and are fair. The car is quick, agile and makes a nice healthy growl. Very posh ride and my friends LOVE that the rear seats recline making it a blast on longer road trips.

Makes a great used car
Just got an 06 with fewer than 30,000 miles on it for the price I paid for my Mazda3 in 04! This was also over $5000 cheaper than 07s with 50,000 miles! I test drove used 3 Series, an IS 250 and a Subaru Legacy. I thought this car handled better than all of them and only the Subaru was cheaper. Fun to drive, extremely comfortable and an excellent value.
Electronic Nightmare
This vehicle is an electronic nightmare. Kindly reconsider the purchase of this model. When everything is working this vehicle is top notch, however when things go south, they go way south. My vehicle purchased 27 May 2006, experienced catastrophic electronics failure 06 June 06. Infinity could not be less concerned. 2006 G35 coupe 6MT, well equipped. Indifferent customer support. Please reconsider; shop for post sale support.
my best car
l have had many nice cars but the g35 is by far best all around
Fun, quick, reliable if taken care of
I bought mine used from someone who let it sit for a while and did not take very good care of it. The car had 152000 miles on it and definitely needed some work. The suspension was shot, window motor didn't work, passenger going out now as well, ac stopped working after a month, ac belt snapped as well, interior seems loose like everything is not tight together and shakes and rattles when not on a brand new road. The transmission is slipping so needs a new transmission but could just be because of poor care from previous owners. 02 sensors needed replacing, the cat converters need replacing. Basically it would be a great car if taken care of properly. After fixing Check Engine Light and all major problems except the transmission the car feels solid so if you plan on buying one that has over 100000 miles on it then I would ask a lot of questions about whether it was properly maintained because if not then everything starts to go out. Fun car to drive, poor gas mileage and consumes a lot of oil. Recommended getting a oil catch can and a plenum spacer to fix the manufacture defect of poor air intake to valves. If wanting to put an aftermarket stereo in you have to buy a special dash din that has ac controls on it and it is like 150 dollars. Overall I dont think it has a very good resale value compared to how much it costs to fix common wear and tear problems so I definitely would not buy if your wanted to fix and resale, its more of a fix for yourself deal.

Hugs the road
I've owned this car for 63k miles now. It's been incredibly reliable, and fun to drive. I Love everything about it, except the gas mileage, which has averaged 17.9mpg. With the manual transmission, I do drive it HARD though. But it's time for some true American Muscle so I'll be selling it for a Challenger SRT8,with a manual transmission of course.

Good car but has its faults
I have owned my Infiniti G35 6mt coupe for almost 2 years now. I have app 22,000 miles on it and I can say I am ready to get rid of the car, the issues I have are the expensive oil changes and maintenance costs for example the tires. The ride quality is rough and after 15k the rattles start to be heard due to the poor construction of the cabin. The driver's seat position is very tight leather wears quickly. The non Bose audio system I have is absolutely horrible. The speakers and dash appointment look like they are straight out of an Altima for years ago. The car is also the worst car I have ever owned in the snow despite 4 snow tires. The shifting linkage is not crisp.

Great car for the money! Comfortable, easy to handle, with plenty of power. Gas mileage is a problem though. getting 15 miles per gallon highway street combined! Don't believe what you read about gas mileage cause it is not accurate!Sound system bose is amazing!!! Worth the extra money. No input for i pod though. Handles well in the snow and ice very steady and safe to drive!
BMW's nighmare has arrived
When I was 2 months shy of turning my leased BMW I didn't even think about looking elsewhere, since it was my 3rd 3-series in a row and I loved it. However, the neighboor of mine had just purchased the G35 asked if I'd like to test drive a real muscle car... Yeah, right ??? Boy, was I surprised to admit it seemed at least twice as powerful as my BMW was. Well, I figured the all new 330 will prove me wrong. Unfortunately, it didn't :((( Not to mentioned the not-so-good- looking shape lots of folks are complaining about this time around. As before handled corners well, but didn't come even close to the overall performance of the G35. Hate to admit by my loyalty's been stolen by Infinity !!!
