Used 2008 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
Plenty of Bang for the Buck
If you get this car I highly recommend the Premium Package. It includes the completely integrated iPod hookup (Lexus does not), a sunroof, upgraded stereo, and more comfortable seats with the seat assist feature. My first car was a Camry so the 306 hp performance is a definite upgrade. I love being able to pass and merge at will. MPG has been 20 mpg so far vs 30+ with my 4 cyl Camry. This is not a full size car so if you are going to have frequent backseat guests you might consider something larger. A few of my friends have BMWs but they were very impressed with the look and performance of this car. For the money I don't think it can be beat.
Sweet Ride
Just took delivery on a G35x with Premium package and nav. Although I have only put a few hundred miles on it so far, it is everything I expected and then some. I test drove a Lexus IS 250 AWD, a Lexus IS 350, an Audi A4 2.0T quattro, and the Saab 9-3 (just to name a few) and this car blows them all away in every category. So far I could not be happier with my purchase.

08 G35x
I am writing this review after ~6 months of driving. I love the car and did a bunch of shopping prior to my purchase. I live in MN so an AWD or FWD vehicle was a must. I test drove the following vehicles prior to my choice of the g35x. Honda Accord Coupe, Nissan Maxima, Lexus IS250 awd, Lexus ES350, and Nissan Altima. The G35 was a combination of all the vehicles and really offers the power and luxury which could not be surpassed by any of the aforementioned vehicles. I drive in Minneapolis rush hour daily and the snow mode comes in quite handy when the weather takes a turn for the worst. I constantly try to lose control in this vehicle on secluded country roads and it's almost impossible.
G35xS (AWD w Sport, Spoiler Pack)
I got my 2008 Infiniti G35xS with the navigation and sport package along with a spoiler. I am coming from driving a powerful Mustang GT with a V8 and a lot of horsepower. And I must say this car is hands down my favorite car that I have ever driven. This was my dream car and I found a way to get it. This car packs more features then any car I have ever seen, and for the price completely knocks out BMW, Lexus, and Audi. I had test driven every single car in the class from the 325xi, Lexus IS350, Caddy CTS, and Audi S4. I have to say without a doubt the G35 is hands down the best car. Infiniti rocks!
08 G35xS
Trading in my 2005 G35 6MT that I upgraded from 298HP to 350HP for a 2008 G35xS was a bit concerning because I wanted the same horse power feel and was concerned the sedan would lack the 'feeling one' with the car experience. I also needed something for winter. I will say I'm really surprised by how responsive the automatic 306HP of the sedan deploys itself. Having said that, I HIGHLY recommend anyone getting this car to the G35xS, which adds the 18" wheels and the paddle shifters. I will say the car comes to life when in manual mode, much differently then just driving in automatic. With that I will say I'm quite happy and the car now provides the same confidence my previous G did.
