1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I sold my E36 M3 and bought a 2006 G35 Sport Coupe. It had 22K miles on it. It's got great power, handles great and great brakes. It gets lots of looks and sounds awesome. But........ It ain't no BMW. The interior is kinda cheesy, the clutch is horrible and the seat belts don't retract. Don't get me wrong, I love it but I'm just not passionate about it. The reason I picked it over an E46 M3 was the reliability. Having the check engine light come on every other week on the M3 was a little frustrating. Did I mention how great it sounds? Especially with the sun roof open and the windows down.
think twice before you buy

The G35 Infinity is reliable. The Bose system is excellent. The front end is solid but the steering is poor. The engine has some power but the high-end torque is non-existent! If you like the exterior styling then this is the only good said about the G35. Everything else falls below average. If engine, steering, suspension, brakes, vision, and all the other characteristics about any car are all good then one would think that the car is all good, right? Wrong! And very wrong at that! It is how everything works in coherence that is of 100% importance, and this car (G35) has nothing working in coherence! American, German cars will be honest with gas mileage, Infinity will not. Think Twice!

any comparison between this uncomfortable, gas guzzler to a "luxury" car is a mistake. it's fast, but wow, 18mpg combined and the seat controls biting my right leg and throwing my spine out of alignment make want to sell this thing today. it looks and drives fine, but anyone concerned with comfort and economics should avoid the g35x like the plague. i'll be the guy who leaves it running on the dc beltway and walks off the 495 parking lot to the nearest bar. good luck...
'06 G35 Coupe[Sport] 6MT- Power+Beauty+Luxury

I bought my '06 G35 coupe in 2014 with 62k miles in beautiful condition. It is the Sport model with 298hp & a 6-speed manual transmission. Any buyer should know that this is essentially a Nissan 350Z (Infiniti is Nissan's upscale brand) with 2 rear seats, albeit tiny ones, a sleeker, gorgeous body design, tons more comfort/ luxury features, a traditional trunk instead of the Z's hatchback and a more powerful variant of the 3.5L V6- 298hp as opposed to the 280hp powerplant of the Z's & the non-"Sport" model/ automatic transmission G35 coupe. The G coupes come with ample leather interior, the most comfortable sport bucket seats I've ever sat in- complete with 8-way power adjustability & variable heat and lumbar functions, lots of beautiful brushed metal trim, an 11-speaker amplified Bose sound system with subwoofer, Bluetooth-equipped in-dash CD & satellite radio unit with voice control, power sliding moonroof, a really cool power-adjustable unified steering wheel/ gauge cluster that goes up & down plus telescoping of the red-stitched heated leather sport grip steering wheel, which has illuminated audio/ dash computer controls intuitively placed near your thumbs. The top-end models like mine have a [slightly outdated] DVD ROM-based navigation system that does something extremely cool: with the press of a button, a 7-inch color display rises up from inside the top center dash, an effect that still seems impressive 14 years later. Press the button again and the screen smoothly disappears back into the dash. It also tilts forward & backward, and the nav has voice guidance aiding the onscreen animated 3D map. The '06-'07 G coupes include much improved projector-type HID headlights along with some minor exterior/ interior updates [2007 was the final year model of this body style G, 2008 introduced the bigger, heavier, less streamlined- but slightly more powerful G37]. So, onto the performance! All G35 coupes are rear-wheel drive, which any proper sports car should be, and it's got a very well-balanced low-slung & stiff suspension which make the G35 Sport coupe a genuinely agile, precise and fun machine that handles the road at any speed better than any car I've owned including an E46 M3 coupe, Honda S2000, 1994 300ZX Twin-Turbo, and far superior to the 2004 G35 coupe I drove for 6 months [a non-Sport model]. And even in stock form with no engine mods, this car is very fast- the 298hp is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission, and violently throws you back in the seat when launched properly from a stop. The "RevUp" 3.5L V6 really starts to scream and throw power at the pavement in the mid-to-high RPM's and with skillful shifting & clutching, keeping the tachometer in the 4000-6000RPM powerband up through the gears it's like a fighter jet, and 6th-to-3rd downshifts will whip it from 70-120mph in a blink. "S" models come with a limited-slip differential, which dramatically increases the amount of torque delivered to the rear wheels, overall performance, handling, and generally rock solid driving experience in comparison to the 2004 base model G35 coupe I'd borrowed a year or so before buying my black candy coupe '06 G35/ Sport. The factory wheels are 19" - very big for such a low car that's approximately the size of a 2-door Honda Accord, and they look killer. The aesthetic is also enhanced by the dual polished steel exhaust pipes- they're rather large & very shiny [if you keep them clean, which literally takes 1 minute every 5 days...] mean-looking taillights and deeply swept lines forming a menacing yet sexy, rakish, timeless shape. It has all the amenities and it's thrilling- "fun" is way too weak a description of the G35/S coupe driving experience. $14-17,000 will get you a super clean, near-flawless '06 or '07 Sport with low miles, clean title, everything working etc. It took a few weeks for me to find exactly that but also black with black leather and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Now 5 years later it is still nearly flawless- I did have to replace the entire manual trans & clutch last year however, but it was the fault of someone else who tried to sneak a drive in my car when I was out, but did not know how to drive stick, and yet he was determined to drive 40 miles to cross the border, into Tijuana, Mexico because dude reeeally needed more cocaine & had a date with a TJ Hooker. Point is, you should really treat yourself to one of these gorgeous bargain luxury rockets. It'll make you feel like, a cross between Batman, and John Wick Oh almost forgot: 22/ 19mpg [highway/ city streets]

Make sure you get a full diagnostic on it. I had a headgasket issue at 150k miles. The repair cost more than the car. Ended up scrapping it. It was a fun and a snappy car when it was running at 100%. The massive fuel tank took me from texas to Wisconsin on 2.5 fuel trips. Since i dont know squat about the mechanical upkeep of cars i ended up getting rid of it. However if you are mechanically inclined, this vehicle whouldve had easily another 100k on it. Only if you baby it (i still let the car rip on highways in the middle of nowhere).

Overall a great car. Very good pick up and nice stereo. I didn't get the Bose, but this one is pretty good for a basic one.
Great Car

I was in a severe accident in this car, and I walked away without a scratch. Very very reliable safety features!

I wrote a review for this car after I first purchased it in December 2005. The car continues to perform well but I find myself wanting for more power! I feel that for the money this car is still excellent, however, it should be quicker and faster. There are a lot of cars coming out now that are almost as quick, if not quicker than the G35 coupe for a lot less money and with 4-cylinder engines! Namely the new VW GTI, Dodge Caliber SRT4, Audi A3 S-line, etc. Even Honda Accord coupes with the 6 sp are faster to 60...with 40 less hp and 30 less torque? Doesn't seem right...
Best Car I ever Had

I have loved every moment with this vehicle. This is my second G35 coupe. I love the looks I get in this car and for the money, you cannot find a better value in a sports car. The size of the wheels and the exterior styling really set this car off. I have had no mechanical problems with this vehicle. It runs like a champ and the navigation syatem is very accurate.
