Fast Sexy Ride
I purchased this car after extensive research and I'm glad I did. My baby handles like a dream. I LOVE the power she has and I love the look on people's faces when they see a women driving this powerful, sleek fantasy on wheels. Please, don't be jealous!
Outstanding Value
I've got premium package, performance package and aero package-great value and performance for $40k. Positive comments all the time from strangers. Only wish would be for better gas mileage especially compared to other vehicles in its class, e.g. BMW 330ci. Exhaust note is sweet and transmission is smooth as silk. Build quality impeccable. Kudos to Infiniti.

Comfort and leisure!
The G-35 Coupe is one of the most impressive cars I have ever driven. It handles like a small sports car with the acceleration of a 8 cy. luxury. Long trips are extremely comfortable in the seats and the sat. radio, Bluetooth, and keyless entry system is amazing. This car is the sport luxury you've always dreamed of. Go on, make your daddy jealous!
Infiniti G35 Coupe
This is really a fun car to drive. The exterior appearance has drawn a lot of attention from friends that have seen the car. The interior quality is better than reported. I am 100% satisfied with this car so far!
06 G35 Coupe/ Sport Tuned Suspension PKG
I have only had this car for a couple of months. This by far is one of the most attractive cars on the road. I find my self wanting to drive this car every chance I get. I get nothing but compliments by everyone I see and know. If I were to buy all over again, I'm not sure if I would opt for the Sport Tunes Suspension. It can be a little stiff and noisy. It communicates every flaw in the road. It sticks like glue it the curves. Interior quality is good. The orange display seems a little out dated. I have got use to the Intelligent Key. I find myself reaching for the ignition im my second vehicle with no key. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would do all over again.
6MT is NICE!
The G35 is a great bargain compared to other sport cars. I considered the IS350 and BMW 330. The 6 speed manual has a short throw that is fun to drive. I recommend the black interior, it looks better than the light colors. Bluetooth and Navigation are great options to consider. Other buyer are right on regarding the exterior looks - others will admire your car.
Glad I got it!!!
Had an 05 Acura TL. Traded it in for the 2006 G35. MIGHT have kept it if it were rear wheel drive. But needed something sportier. The G35 fits the bill. Almost got the 350Z, but I wanted something a little bigger with a usable back seat and a less harsh ride. I wish it had better mileage. But 300 horses gotta be fed. If you're thinking of buying one, the G35 won't disappoint. Truly a great car. I only had the car for 2 weeks. I'll do a follow up in 6 mos and tell you if I still luv it as much.
Very Nice
I have been a Lexus customer in the past, but they have nothing that compares to the G35 Coupe 6 Speed Manual. If you are buying this car, pass on the automatic. The car has zero snow handling ability though. We got a very light dusting the day after i picked it up, and the low profile tires on the 19 inch rims (6M, combined with the RWD, could not get me up a VERY slight incline. It is a BLAST to drive though - very quick and great looking.
Wow!!!
Great looks moving and standing still. Just a nice car all over. Once thought about owning one. My dream come true.
Japanese Muscle Car
Ownership period-2months milage driven - 1000 mi. Car is definitely a looker. Styling is very mature and will age well. Still in break in period but can feel the engine has immense torque reserves for a V6, and do not doubt the upper end hp. rush due to the smootheness of Nissan's VQ series engine. Handling is netural and precise with no front end ploughing or rear end losseness. Steering a tad heavy but lighten up nicely at speeds. With the 17' wheels & long w/base, ride is more supple and comfortable than expected. Car is more elemental and raw in nature compared to a Lexus/Acura. Almost like a very well build Japanese muscle car.
sweet ride
Great ride...perfect reliablility...Smooth as silk and looks like a million bucks.
best styling
I had a choice to either buy a Lexus IS350 or a G35, but when it came to styling I choose the G35. Its Fun to drive and one of the best coupes on the road. Its fast, luxurious, and affordable. Every time I take the car out of the garage I get comments from everyone how nice my car is. I see myself keeping this car for a long time.
What An Amazing Car!
I have owned this car for 7 weeks and I'm still in LOVE with it. Not a single problem with it. It drives so smooth. Response is INSANE! I like to drive with the windows down to listen to the exhaust growl. I have never been more intrigued by a machine! Great job Infiniti!
solid
I traded in a 2004 acura tl (dynamic 6sp.) the ras (rear active steering) system really enhances your driving experience on this car, it begs to be pushed thru the corners. for a coupe i think the seating is ample( not for too long in the back) the sound of the exhaust on this car is sweet, around 4000 rpm it really sounds like its ready to tear up the road. the subtle change to the rear spoiler is what made this car more attractive to me. for the money this is one hell of a car. i've had this car for less than 2 weeks so far. a follow up to this will be neccesary. as then i may be bored with 300 horse.
wow
I was in the market to buy a car and couldn't decide what to get. So many choices, so little time to try them all. The minute I saw this car and took a test drive I was sold. Love it! And all my friends, especially the guys are jealous of my new ride.
Can someone say Fun!
Having the chance to wake up every morning and open the gargage door to see the beautiful sight of a metal machine. Not just any machine but one of the best coupes out there under 35k. The power, sound, and enjoyment of driving it makes the g35 the best coupe hands down. Being able to hit those corners with percise turns and the growl of the exhaust as it passes you is amazing. INfiniti ROcks!
No comparison in price segment - BUY IT
Z: Better instrument cluster but not back seat, creature comforts cost extra. Not as elegant and stylish 3-Series: Way overpriced just for the brand-name. Underpowered (in versions costing less thank 40k). IS: 4 doors. Not fun without $8k in technology options. RX-8:Amazing handling and grip. Ugly exterior. Boy-racer image (but less than that of a Mustang heh). Needs to be redlined for any form of performace which gets annoying fast. Mustang GT: did not even bother to try G35: This car simply makes me smile. I just simply feel good when i am driving it or just simply staring at its uber sexy form. The Bose system is pretty decent as well. In short, this is a true feel good car !!!!!!
Review Continued
It can fix any mood, release frustation and bring a smile to your face. Ahh. it makes me poetic as well i guess.
Best coupe for the money
This is my second G35 Coupe. Performance for a V6 is great. Handling is great. Styling is awesome. Looks a lot more expensive than it is. I do not drive it in winter months so I cannot comment on the winter driving. But during the summer it is my favorite ride. I did a lot of research and comparisons before I bought my first one in 2004. I do not hesitate to recommend this car to anyone looking for a top-notch coupe at a reasonable price.
G Spot in a flash
Grew up in a dealership and I can't remember all the cars I have had in my life including a Vette. The G outshines them all.
fun to drive
the major problem i find with it is the limited cargo space, you cannot fit a golf bag in there, or a big piece of luggage. As far as looks, performance and fun to drive, it has no comparison.
Awesome Pawsome, I'm Smitten!
This thing has paws and claws!! GZZZZZZZ i feel 35 again :)! I can't get enough of it...been in it for 3-4 months now, and still in the honeymoon phase~ I want to go just drive it all the time. One of the cons mentioned by edmunds is the uncomfortable tightness of suspension. I find it loosening as time goes on, and I love the "tightness" in the curves...hummm! And yeah, it hummmmsss...people have commented on the roaring hummm...beautiful song it is. The styling is awesome...reminds me of a cross between a porsche carrera and Ferrari dino...and although not in their hp status, it moves and groves and soothes... I don't like the how the doors sound...it should thump these rattle.
Julie's G
This car is fun to drive and I love it, although without any doubt, vision while in reverse is severely impacted. I also feel that the transmission shifts a bit roughly given the category and have been told by three passengers that the front seats were narrow and uncomfortable, especially on travels lasting over 60 minutes.
infiniti-hard to deal with
things keep breaking on this car and infiniti does nothing to help. I have had to buy brakes and rotors every 20,000 miles..first there was a recall and they paid for it. 2nd time there was no recall anymore, and somehow there never was one, and i had to pay. actually they told me i was lucky that i was going 20,000 miles cause most people only go 15,000. Infiniti is terrible to deal with when a there is a problem.
Porsche : There may be a substitute!?
In my opinion the G35 Coupe is one of the sexiest cars on the road not taking into account its affordability making it even more attractive. The handling, power/acceleration and braking are stellar and more than enough to get the heart pounding. I sincerely recommend this vehicle for the passionate driver.
Best car ever.
I got this car in Feb. 06. I looked at the BMW 330Ci and this car blew it away just on the HP alone. I fell in love with this car, its exterior and interior look was more modern then that of the BMW. I have not regretted my desision since.
Best car out of Japan
Coming from a 350z I had for 4 years, I wanted something more comfortable. I test drove the Lexus GS 430, Porsche Cayenne S and Audi A4 3.2 quattro. They were all nice, but were all lacking something. I just happened to see the G35c on the lot. After sitting in it, I knew it was the one. It was one of the most comfortable seats I ever sat in. The driveability of Nissan/Infiniti has always been top notch. They always provide the best driver feedback and the G35c was no different. It is so smooth to drive, there is nothing jerky about this car. You would swear you were in a full blown luxury car and it has a nice wad of power on tap. A perfect blend of luxury, power and class.
Year in Review
I purchased my G coupe in December 2005 and am still in love with the car. Over the past year and a half I have noticed issues with build quality. There are many annoying rattles that have developed in the car that you hear over bumps. The sunroof creaks relentlessly and the interior plastics scratch too easily! Am still very satisfied with the cars performance though I do wish it had stronger pull. The car seems to lose steam in 4th and doesn't pull hard in 5th. The seats are still comfortable and the stereo has held up well so far. Bluetooth just stopped working two weeks ago! Paint is very soft, chips too easily.
Just OK
Great engine, looks. Sounds great from the outside, fairly quiet on the inside. Inside materials and fit/finish is poor (I've actually looked at the nooks of the interior). Placement of storage and cupholders ludicrous. Shift action vague, clutch uptake high, pedal placement not good for heel-toe. Most beautiful stock rims ever. Final word: great value for performance. Quality and ergonomics of nissans not what they should be but I still love it!
What a Car!!
As far as my driving experience with the car goes, stupendous. The G35 handles like magic. I've had instances where I have snaked the car through curvy, mountainous roads at speeds exceeding 65 mph, and have had no issues at all. The thrust this thing can produce can be overwhelming sometimes, say how about a very noticable acceleration when crupsing at 65mph. It feels like there is some stored power in there somewhere at times when you need that extra push! The only downside to this car is the winter weather driving. Being a rear wheel drive makes it a little rough sometimes. Also, it being a small, light car has some disadv especially with the wind.
Enjoy It!
This car rides very smoothly and comfortably. I love the look and feel of this car!
love the 6mt 2006 g35
great car, only issue is shifter that is stiff in cold weather and sometimes hard to get into 2nd gear.
this or Mustang
Draws looks and positive comments $40k No seat memory. Visibility so-so Quickness average. Seat belt awkward. Rides better with the winter tires (17") than the 19" wheels. Have not figured out the navigation system yet. Wife loves the color (slate).
Fun Car
I drive a lot of miles. Wanted AWD, previous car was a BMW 540iA and an SUV in the winter. It was either the Infiniti or BMW 530ix THe G35 is fun to drive, great NAV and stereo, and at least feels as fast as the 2000 540. Only have 1K miles in 2 weeks time, but I got the same or better milage with the V8 in the 540. Lacks the refinement of the German car but is $20K less than the 530ix. IMO the 530ix lacked low range torque and was a pig off the line. I am very happy to pocket the $20K and drive the G35year round.
g35coupe
Fun to drive and a real head turner. Enough power to keep your passenger pinned back in his/her seat.
For the money you can't beat this car
4k miles, 5 mos. if you need 4 seats, fun and don't have $50k, this is a great car. I have sp pkg, 6 sp M, RAS, 19" wh, nav. couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I searched, bought 600 miles away and drove home on the blue ridge pkwy. Awesome!!! To me: ride is great, tire noise is HORRENDOUS on cement. I have to get better tires this month. Handling with rear active steering beats out cars over $150k. A pro F driver and I have tracked this 2x and left people in F's and track people mesmerized, probably at or possibly sub 5.3 secs 0-60. Beats out B 335, and I beat out B pro driver in handling. Imagine what good tires would mean.
Still Lovin' It
My first Infiniti, but certainly not my last. Got the complete package with sport suspension etc. Rides a little rough, but the roads in Ohio leave a lot to be desired. Also, I opted for the suspension, so I can't complain. Have 8K miles on it and can't say enough. I thought it'd develop some rattles with the tight suspension, but nothing to date. No complaints so far. The car is fantastic to drive, looks like a million dollars, and has the "look-at-me" factor we all crave. My only concern is the summer tires. Can't drive in inclimate weather, and replacements cost over 2 grand! I hope they last for at least 15K miles.
