Used 2008 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
Sedan & Sports Car in One!
I was looking for a replacement to my 05 Audi 3.0 Quattro. I have driven Audi's for years and thought I would be purchasing another. Then I test drove a used G35xS for the first time. Never looked back. I have owned many cars over the years and this is by far my favorite. Great all-around vehicle with all of the technology and toys for less money than an Audi, BMW or Lexus. I avg. 20 mpg in mixed driving. This car is a screamer. The "S" package takes it to another level with the sport seats, paddles shifters and beautiful 18" rims. Make sure you test drive one of these if considering a sports sedan w/ AWD.
Deceptively Fast
After evaluating the Merecedes C350, BMW 335 and the Lexus IS350, I recently chose the Infinity G35XS. One of the compelling reasons was the value for the dollar compared to the others. Infiniti offers the power, sport/luxury look with the latest hi- tech technology for under 54k tax-in. Hard to say no to that.

Really great car
I bought this car used at 2 years old with 17,500 miles on it and saved $10K off new. Very fun to drive and stable. It eats gas though, which should be expected. Not as silky smooth to drive as a Lexus, but much more beautiful to look at. RWD fishtails badly in snow, even with stability control. If you live in a snowy area, get the 4WD for sure. Steering pulls strangely at stops on uneven pavement which the dealer told me was normal, but it is a bit unsettling. Acceleration is great (esp. from 50 to 80) and the controls are easy to use. I love to drive it.
Perfect car so far...
I have had absolutely no problems with this vehicle. I purchased it about 70 miles from my home, because I did have an extremely rude experience at my local dealership (Auto Place Infiniti, Buffalo, NY). I am sure the Infiniti company would not stand by that behavior, and I presume it was an isolated event, however, inexcusable. Rochester's Dorschel Infiniti, its email/purchasing communications, were flawless! It has been extremely reliable, with nothing but maintenance costs, thus far. I do wish the fuel economy was a bit better. And the only technical quality gripes I have with it are that the side view mirrors are not heated, and the trunk lid quality and closure feels a bit cheap.
Enjoying the ride
Hit the 2 year/30K mile mark and thought a review was in order. Journey model with sport, premium, Nav, and technology package. Fun to drive, handles well, accelerates without difficulty, beautiful to look at especially the interior. Negatives are the tires wear quickly (not unexpected), small blind spot on driver side, the front exterior dings easily from rock chips (as does the grill), and the 6 disc changer decreases the opening in the trunk to get things in/out. No problems with the dealership but haven't had any issues to deal with.
