What's there not to love??
I started looking around and I narrowed my choices down to the Acura TL S-Type, Lexus IS 350, BMW 330i and the G35. I am an avid lover of the BMW, the Acura would have been my second choice, however the G35 was what my heart told me to follow and I have not looked back since. There is nothing bad I could find to say about the G35. I ended up getting a black G with tan interior. The 9.5 gig hard drive to download music to the car just blew me away. I have owned about 10 cars in my life and driven several others and nothing in or near the G35's class can compare to the performance and handling of this vehicle. Infiniti has upped the ante - can any other automobile step up to the challenge?
Almost Perfect
Turned in my '03 G35 for new Journey last week. Completely different car. This car feels bigger and heavier. It's quicker off the line but does not feel quite as sporty. Maybe because my last car had the sport package. I enjoyed the exhaust note on the '03 better. Got my '07 with all the options for under 37k. Test drove the Acura TL Type S, not bad but nowhere near the luxury or refinement of the G. The 330i was just too expensive with all the options. So far I'm really enjoying this car. If I could just learn how to use all the toys!!

Japanese for BMW
Very happy so far with my new G35. Decided on a Journey model with Premium package and Performance wheel upgrades - concerned about the "firm ride" reviews from Sport model drivers. I traded in my Lexus coupe for a more practical sedan that could fit more than two passengers and was still fun to drive. I previously drove a BMW coupe and was unimpressed by multiple minor problems though thought it was fun to drive. I basically limited my choices to the Lexus IS 350 and the Infiniti G35, and it was a close call. Lexus is more refined and reliable (based on experience), but the Infiniti was more fun to drive and thousands less, so I figured I'd give it chance. Happy so far!
Go out and get one! Love this car, so fun!!!
I’ve owned more cars than I can count. Truly. Bought this 2007 in 2019. It was cheap & had 170,000 miles. Clean Carfax, meticulously maintained. I can’t believe how much I love it. Owned a Lexus RX & Audi convertible at the time. Clearly more reliable than the Audi, more power than the Lexus. Perfect in every way expectation for interior finish. Nissan/ Infiniti are known for not having as good interior materials as Lexus. The interior door handle, all of the finish is worn off. Here’s where I think Nissan/Infiniti win, cold, cold A/C! I’ve had numerous Toyota/Lexus products and Nissan/Infiniti wins hands down in this category. You’ll hear it time & again, people who like Mercedes May prefer Lexus. BMW lovers prefer Infiniti. Fast, agile, responsive. Fun to drive. I live in an area where the on-ramps to the freeway are quite short and there are lots of semi’s. This car screams onto the freeway from ramp, wow it’s fast! I probably would not give this car to my teenage sons, it’s a rocket! Other than interior handles it’s a gem. It’s a keeper. Mine is black and I have those classic black California license plates, a stunning combination! Used, these cars are the deal of the century. I’d buy another. Will likely buy the FX35 after this!

Great car but fit and finish needs work
We know the good points. My 6MT is in Lakeshore Slate and I was stuck with the black dash. The bumper paint is shades off from the body panels. The moonroof trim pieces keep falling in. The Washi katana trim in the door differs a shade from that in front of the passenger. The passenger seatbelt receiver is uncomfortably high for riders. The nav/radio console is trimmed in bright silver but other pieces are matte or brushed nickel, looking as if designed for a different car. The purple dash accent lighting differs from gauges to knob highlight rings. After a rain, opening the trunk lets water pour in from the perimeter of the lid. The carpet is a loose warpy fit in back. Mats are cheap, thin.
Fun gas guzzler
I had this car for 3 weeks now and like the cars performance overall. I wish it had more torque like the lexus. The lexus is350 had a stronger motor and was more comfortable inside. The bmw was just an overall nicer car. I guess you get what ya pay for. The g35 also has hard seats and loves to burn fuel. I get about 15-16 mpg around town. The g35 doesn't handle as well as a bmw in high winds or at high speeds. It gets loose in the turns at high speeds. Sure hope gas prices don't climb again.
Much Improved
Traded my '03 G35 for the redesigned '07. What an improvement!! While the car was great to begin with Infiniti tweaked the exterior a bit while really addressing some shortcomings with the interior. I'm finding myself looking for excuses to drive.
The G35 Absolutely A Pleasure To Drive
Originally had my heart set on a BMW 335 but instantly fell in love with the 2007 G35 the moment I sat in it and floored the accelerator. I was amazed at the incredible power and attention to detail in both interior and exterior. I bought the 2007 Journey G35, Blue Slate with Stone Interior, premium package with navigation. It is truly an absolute pleasure to drive and highly recommend anyone considering a BMW to at least test drive a G35. A classy, sleek, very fast, luxury car.
07 Infiniti G35 Sport... Unbeatable!
I upgraded to the G35 Sport from a rather outdated Oldsmobile, so I was immediately impressed by the handling, power, and comfort. Not only is the car stylish, it can stand on its own when it comes to performance. The touchscreen GPS and bluetooth are great features that make driving much more convenient. Also, you have about 5 different methods to play music through the car, including the flash drive, in-dash hardrive, 6 cd changer, in-dash player, and the RCA jacks in the center armrest. Gas mileage ranges from 16 mpg in busy city streets, to about 27 mpg on open freeway at 75-80 mph.
Ammmaaaaaazing
I have been researching this purchase for over a year now, ever since I found out they were redesigning the G35. I was not impressed with the previous version's interior design or quality, but this redesign is incredible!! I am a package kinda guy, meaning I like both interior and exterior refinement and the folks at Infiniti have got it right... and it blows the BMW 3 Series to the side of the road. The get-up-and-go of this car is great. The technology of the navigation system and audio systems is out of this world and the car just looks great! I compared to the Lexus IS350, BMW 335, Acura TL, Audi A4. This car is number one!
Great Combination of Fun and Comfort
I have just finished my first 1000 miles with the G35-S, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the car. I was looking for something a little sportier than my Lexus E330, but, since I drive a lot, I also wanted a more comfortable ride than what a typical sports coupe had to offer. This car delivers the best of both worlds, delivering a quiet, comfortable ride even with the "sports" suspension, while being responsive and powerful enough to provide the fun and excitement of a sports car. And, by the way, very reasonably priced when compared to BMW, the Lexus G series, and other competitors in this class. Highly recommended.
Infinity G35X
Very nice vehicle. Came out of audi s4. Not the v8 beast but fun and easy to drive fast and smooth. Great road feel and lighter car to drive. More of a generic look but I wanted something more low key. Great value for the money. Did a 24 mo lease to see if i like it.
G35 Sedan Loaded
I bought a black G35 sedan from Infiniti of Chantilly. Got the works. Although the stereo isn't digital surround, it still was the best in class. great tech features, good bass, hard drive to store all your cd's. The car gets fast, quick. Feels like 40 when you're doing 70. Bought the active steer, suspn.'s a little stiffer, but it handles great. Nav is decent, back up cam had better features than others'. Still haven't used the Intell. Cruise Control, but it's too much fun to drive. Was initially leaning towards a Type-S, but the feel of RWD and the Studio on Wheels sealed the deal.
Inspired Performance in a brilliant car!
This is my first luxury sports sedan and I decided to go with Infiniti and I couldn't be happier! The car has more power than you could possibly need. The interior is super stylish and modern. The is the most fun car to drive and the best car you could possibly buy for the money! Buy this car and you will not be disappointed!
GeeLoveULongTime!!!
Hung on to my Honda Accord V6 Coupe for as long as possible (wife, 2 small kids and an SUV). I was looking for a 4-dr sports sedan that offered sportiness, luxury, and room for 4. I set my sights on the G35x as well as the BMW3. Once I had a look at the new lines and interior of the 2007 G and took it for a test drive a clear winner was declared. The G35 offered nearly everything that the BMW 3s had with better reliability and for way less money - performance and value!! After 10 months, and 15,000 mi. I just can't say enough good things about this car - I'm too busy driving it.
Thrilling
I just got my G35x about 2 weeks ago. Wow! I read the reviews so I felt confident with the purchase, thought I knew exactly what I was getting. I am happy to say that I received much more than I anticipated. The styling is classy, the quality is impeccable and the power this car delivers is "infinitely" beyond my expectation. The G has an impressive center of gravity that makes the car stick to the road in the corners. I love all the techno gadgets as well including the nav and hard drive for storing my music on board. The voice commands and the Bluetooth wireless for my cell is my favorite feature. The fob key entry system rocks. This car delivers a flawless experience, end to end.
G stands for GR8
Was going to get the 6 speed but living in New England I thought better. Car has everything one would want in a high end auto but the price. Blue Slate on black looks sharp. Navi, and premium package were all I needed but tech package for 1000 more seems like a real deal. Car has 110 miles on it, can't wait to open her up after break-in period. Wish it had standard back up sensors because the car is wide and rear is high. The inside of the car is exact carbon copy of the M35/M45. Reason I bought the car, well, it's AWD, has all the toys and can run with anything under 40k.
It's a G thing!!!!
I was dead set on a BMW 3 series, but I thought the price was a bit much for a car without power tilt. I looked around and finally came across the G35. I drove from Reno, NV to Roseville, CA to test drive it. After driving out of the parking lot I was sold. I've had the car since 17 May 2007 and I absolutely love it! The power is beyond what I wouldv'e imagined. Handling is superb. The sound system is great! For $10k less than the BMW I wanted, I could not ask for a better car!
Best Sport Sedan Value
Intensively researched and compared the Infiniti G35 Sport to Acura TL-S, BMW 3 series, Audi A4, and Cadillac CTS. On paper the G was the best value. Test drives and now ownership confirm my research. The 6MT Sport Sedan provides ready power, a stable, sure and agile ride combined with a gently sloping, sexy upscale interior, large fuel capacity and best trunk size in its class. Six speed manual transmission has a longish clutch that takes a bit of an adjustment - about two days in my case. The short throw shifter is crisp and decisive. Exterior design is sleek and strong; people stop and stare.
Excellent Ride
This is my 3rd car since college and definitely the best. Granted the G35x is significantly more expensive than a Honda Accord or a Volvo S60, however, the power and comfort is amazing. If you're a music fan, I recommend getting the navigation package since you can burn your CDs on to a 9 gig hard drive for your convenience. I'm not sure why the car really comes with a 6 disc changer since it's pretty obselete when factoring in the other feature.
Great car... but?
I had to part ways with my G35x. The car is great but the power is unbalanced for the handling and weight of the vehicle. Watch out for the MPG. Averaging 20, doing good to get 22 on the highway. The G needs a 6th or 7th gear. 3000+ RPM at 70-75 mph on the highway is poor engineering.
2007 G35 Sport Review
I previously owned a 2005 G35 6MT. The 2007 G35 Sport is more luxurious and powerful. The handling seems ever so slightly less agile, but the overall refinement of the car is obvious in every way. Interior design is now more in line with competitive cars. An excellent follow up to a great sports sedan.
Poor fuel economy
The only draw back for this car is that its fuel economy. I averaged 14 mph with 12 mph in city and 20 mph in highway. other than that everything is very well built. P.S. check your car very carefully when you receive it, my rim and key are damaged. i noticed it few days later, they blame it on me.
Love my G35!
You absolutely, positively have to replace the shocks when they wear out.

One of the best car i drove.
One of the nicest and fun to drive car i drove in my whole life. I cant describe my feelings, the interior is awesome the dashboard the seats every thing every thing in this beauty is wonderful. by by Lexus. it is time to welcome the king of luxury from Japan (Infiniti).
Lots of room to improve
Infiniti falls short in so many areas. The controls are a foot away from the display for what you're changing (A/C, stereo), the A/C controls are non-intuitive. Bumper paint doesn't match. Dash lights don't match. Body and trim panels vary in fit. Front sport seats are too tight for an average (180 lb) adult. Bad clutch - in for recall today. Cheap floor mats are almost worn out! 14 bolts/plastic cover to replace oil filter and change oil. Front chrome grill easy to chip. Moon roof trim falls out. Redundant service disply in console and in dash. Cheap analog clock should be digital for quick read. Leather not as soft as previous year. Little storage in cabin. Stereo FM separation very poor.
Here's the Beef!
I recently purchased this car to upgrade from a Honda Civic, and it was a great decision! Now I'm happy to have a long commute to work. The speakers sound great while the traffic noise stays out. Overall, it was a great purchase.
Not too good in the rain
Just having sold my G35 sport finds me missing this car, not at all. I truly believed this was a fantastic built and designed sports sedan. Having downscaled due to $ concerns, I don't really miss it especially when it rains, for (2) reasons. The HP is enormous and fast acceleration on a rain slick surface spins you out and secondly, after you park in your garage, notice all the water falling from the wheel well and gathering around each wheel. If you have a flat surfaced garage, expect to mop up 8 towels worth of water off the floor. Apparently, the trim panels collect the road splash and slow drip when parked. Add to that a look-alike Nissan styling for $10k less.
Very good car, but it has its quirks
Overall, this is an excellent car, but you have to accept certain Saab-ish or Subaru-ish quirks that come with it. Can not complain about the shift linkage, handling, acceleration, or comfort. The quirks I mentioned include things like memory seats. Yes, the seat will move to the predetermined position, as will the steering wheel, but the side view mirrors will remain still. Also, here are RCA jacks for an MP3 player in the center arm rest compartment, but there is no integrated charger or mount for the iPod. The car also does not have daytime running lights. Overall, these are small gripes and the money saved over a MB, Audi, or BMW is well worth the minor inconveniences.
Beautiful car, but expensive to maintain
This is a beautiful and powerful (306 horsepower) car. However, it is a sport edition which means different sized tires. This is a nightmare. Not only are the tires expensive, but I am on my third (yes, I said third set) and I only have 40K on the car. Also, the gas mileage is horrible. It averages about 14-16mpg. Terrible!
Nice i love it
The standard features are hands down an easy choice when shopping between Lexus and BMW; no comparison for the price!
NIce
Very nice car to drive and sit in driveway. Everyone talks about the look and the power
Best Entry-Level Sedan For The Money
Leased a '07 G35 Auto Journey w/sunroof & wheels/tires package. Great car for the $$. Fun, classy & just enough room for us & our 2 yr. old... Didn't want to pay for Premium package since I didn't care for fancy Bose, homelink, MP3 player, memory seats + steering & mirrors, auto-lumber support, dimming mirror or bluetooth. But wished it had heated seats, so I opted for the stand alone sunroof + wheels/tires since the G35 Sports rode a little harsh & Journey more suited for us w/the toddler. This car is very very fast (I came from a Subaru Forester XT which was a total sleeper) and wants to go all the time. Handles extremely well and interior is comfy.
car of the year
It is a no brainer. Research and test drive the Lexus, BMW, Mercedes etc. Compare their options, price and driving experience with the Infiniti G35. BMW and Mercedes charge lots more for their cars and they have fewer features (unless you want to pay even more money to them). The BMW and Mercedes only have a single CD player and they have no hard drive record feature like the Infiniti. Infiniti is the clear choice this year. I have driven mine for 5000 miles now and it is absolute perfection. I have driven it hard through corners and up to 145 mph. The car handles perfectly under all conditions. You cannot compare the other cars and the price without saying that Infiniti is the best of all
Thrill to Drive
I have been researching new cars for over a year and the G35X was a last minute choice. I originally looked at Lincoln MKZ, Lexus IS250, Cadillac CTS & BMW 325. But I have to say I'm absolutely in love with this car. It moves like the wind and is a joy to drive. The only issue I have so far is getting the HomeLink system to work with my garage door opener but that's a minor problem when compared with the exceptional performance of this car!
Fantastic, But Not Perfect
Overall the 07 G35 Sedan is a superb car. Excellent power and handling and the best brakes in its class. Technology and styling make this car practical and functional. Sold a '03 Mercedes Benz CLK500 and the G35 outperforms it. BMW 335i still holds the benchmark for this class but the G35 is a better value. Cannot justify paying $10k more for a similar performing car with less room and options. Disappointing gas mileage, no better than the V-8 Mercedes. EPA of 19 & 26 is a laugh. I haven't had mileage on averaage higher than 19 during the four months I've had the car. Also had some issues with the voice controls for audio and phone. Fantastic car but not perfect.
Wants to be let loose
Tons of research of the usual culprits, just couldn't justify the extra $15k for BMW cachet. I got the Premium package. Excellent value. Great torque and HP. Need to be light on the pedal because she really wants to run. Beautiful interior with loads of great features standard (bluetooth, sun roof, incredible sound system, etc.). I have long airport commutes on a two lane highway - the ability to blow around slower moving vehicles is incredibly refreshing. Love the power and handling.
Picture Perfect!
Traded in an 06 BMW 325i for the G35 Sedan Sport w/Premium, Nav, & Tech pkg. Test drove Lexus IS 250 and BMW 5 series before. My wife loved the G35 coupe for quite a while so our last stop was Infiniti. Got sold on the sedan right away. More bang and ammenities for the buck. Brawn and beauty in one tight package! Great value and truly picture perfect, ivory pearl w/black interior, with power to match!
Infiniti revolutionized the sport sedan
WOW, Someone please pinch me. I test drove the Lexus GS 350, Acura TL, and BMW 328i and none compare to the Infiniti G35. The guys at Infiniti created an Isetoner glove with style, handling, luxury, around a powerplant that is like a cheetah on steroids. Needless to say, I bought it after I test drove it. Exhaust sound is a 10.
This car is a rocket
I have been a fan of of the VQ engine for a long time. It is scary how fast it is. My 97 Maxima turned out to be exceptionally reliable.
New Infiniti G35x Sedan!
This car is incredible, what an upgrade from a Toyota Camry - I have yet to hit the gas pedal and not be surprised by the responsiveness, everyone else on the highway is sitting still! Great interior, easy to use everything (nav system, climate control, etc.).
7 month review
Was an Acura man. Compared the G against Acura TL Type S. You get more car with the Infiniti. Got through a Maine winter with no difficulty. G35x model the way to go if you get any snow/ice. Step on the gas and you'll get thrown deep into the seat. Great cornering abilities too, I haven't been able to throw it loose from a turn. Phenomenal. Couple issues though: audio system is not straightforward, MP3 cds can only be run in-dash player, voice navigation takes some practice (spend an hour actually programming it to recognize YOUR voice), cheap lining for sunroof breaks free too easily, drinks its 93 octane like a frat boy.
Very Satisfied
Infiniti did it again with a great car! I love driving this car, it handles great and I highly recommend it! I sold a 2002 BMW 325i to get this car and am glad I did!
G-tastic
Have owned many European cars and if this does not scare them, I don't know what will. Car rockets from a stop jerking you into the seat for what seems to be a roller coaster ride. Rear seats are not really for a 6+ and if driver is 6+ only a small child can sit behind. Handles like a dream.
Fast and furiously fun to drive!
I've had this '07 G35S 6mt for just over a week and it's a just as much a thrill looking at it parked as it is to drive. I have all the available options (tech, premium, navigation packages, 4WAS, factory spoiler, splash guards, cargo net). Shifting out of 1st is getting easier and the low-end gear power is awesome - I wouldn't consider the 5 speed automatic for this beast even with the paddle shifters. My wife drives an automatic but enjoys this manual. It's very quiet on the interstate and the suspension is tight but not harsh - just what you need for a true sedan sports car. The quality is great from fit to finish - just hard to keep it under 4000 RPMs during break-in.
Wow
This is an amazing ride. It is fast, nimble and has every fun feature you could ask for in a car. I looked at the BMW 335 & Lexus I350, but this was a lot less money for the same car.
2007 Infiniti G35X
I test drove the BMW 3 series and the Lexus IS 250 before buying my Infiniti. The Infiniti had the best ride and the most power out of the 3 cars I drove. The BMW interior was plain and the Lexus had no power. So far my car has been a complete pleasure to own! I got mine in black and everywhere I go people compliment the cars looks.
Fast, fun and fiscally feasible
After I tested the Audi A4 and BMW 3, the G35's agile handling, amazing acceleration and aggressive pricing sold me. This is my first Infiniti and I must say, it will not be my last.
Ultimate Driving Machine
I have owned my G 35X AWD for exactly 1 week now and I'm sorry BMW, but this is the "Ultimate Driving Machine." My wife and I took it on a trip to Atlantic City, NJ and this car not only handles great, but has great pick up as well. We got about 21 mpg highway. I traded in my 2005 Lexus ES 330 for this. I looked at the 2007 Lexus ES 350 as well as the IS and the BMW 330xi and the Acura TL. This car blows them all away! While the Lexus has a slightly smoother ride, the G's ride is sporty, but not rough. The G also has more power that any of the others. I got the premium, navigation, and technology packages. The navigation is the best I've seen and the Bose stereo is outstanding.
Great car.
This is an excellent car. The brakes are good and matches the power that the car produces. It would be even better if the car could lose about 200lbs.
