Used 2008 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
What a ride!!!
I love this car! Drove BMW, Lexus, Cadillac this beat them all hands down. A great value. This car handles so great I never thought I would enjoy my daily commute. I have never had so many people tell me they love my car. Have to drive one to truly apperciate how great this car is.
Blast with no Run flats!!
Looked at the 3 series, the Lexus and the Audi. It came down to a toss up between the BMW 335 and the G35. BMW interior felt dated, and they had the Run flat tires. Chose the Infiniti, and love it.
A1A Daily Driver
Having owned 2 BMWs (3 & 5 series) along with an Audi allroad, I have a frame of reference to compare the German ownership experience with that of the 2008 G35 (sport, premium and navigation packages). Nothing can touch a Bimmer coursing through the S curves but my new G 35S is a powerful sedan that hopefully will provide years of satisfaction. This car is simply gorgeous and packs more technological features that cars costing many thousands more. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
A great car
I have been eyeing the G series ever since the first one came out. My 1998 Accord finally gave me fits, so it was a chance to hop into a G35. I had a great deal on the 2008 vs. a 2009 so I decided to pull the trigger. I love the interior, and the color scheme. The Premium package is a must. I like the G35S but at $2200 more, I decided to go without. I love the way it looks, and the manu-shifting is great. Not as instantaneous as a 6MT, but I rarely race, if ever. All in all, would definitely do it again. Didn't care much for the navigation (already have an awesome $200 Garmin) and the CF slot. With an iPod and an MP3 CD player, who needs CF?
Better overall than 335xi
Test drove the 335xi as a benchmark. It's a great driving car, but the inputs are all touchy and the interior made me feel claustrophobic, and it's pretty barren. G35 wasn't on the top of my list, simply because I've never cared for Nissan products in the past. But I told myself to give it a try, and boy am I glad I did. This car has a far nicer interior than the Bimmer, more features for less money, and achieves 95% of the performance without a turbo. Handling is spot on, although steering could use some work. Ride is firm, but body motions are well controlled and bumps are noticeable rather than jarring. This thing wants to be driven hard. I just wish we had no speed limit.
