G35X
I wanted a vehicle with reasonable performance, all wheel drive, navigation and adaptive or intelligent cruise control. After factoring in reasonable price, (Edmunds Incentives and Rebates section saved me thousands) the list became a toss up between the EX35 or the G35X. I chose the G35X as it has been on Car and Drivers 10 best list. Great car. Infiniti offers more technology and performance for the price than any other make. My dealer experience has been very pleasant also.
LOVE MY NEW TOY!
Just purchased my 2008 Infiniti G35S Journey on 01/24/08. I don't have any cons to report except for the snug interior and narrow seats, but that's why they call it a sports sedan. This car ROCKS! It is very fast and a very attractive vehicle. I traded in a 2007 Maxima SE and haven't looked back since. My G35 turns heads and at takeoff will pin your head back. I wish I could find a raceway so that I can really stretch it out. I would highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who's in the market for a car well worth the money. It's cheaper than a Lexus and the BMW. Neither one of them compares as far as price and performance are concerned.
G35 GOGOGO
I Got this car in 2010,is fun to drive plenty HP, every I looked at it still fall in love with this baby G35X-S,nice sound system, As I know everyone notice gas mileage can't complained about it with 306 HP. Take a test drive G35 then you'll know what I mean.
Excellent car for the $
I traded in my 2002 BMW M3 2 door for the 2008 G35x Sport, needed a 4 door car for a baby. So far I really do like the car, and coming from an M3, the performance is right up there. Other cars I looked at were the BMW 335ix and Lexus IS350. Both were OVER $10k more expensive and the Infiniti had more features. I really like the interior of this car too, far more than the $10k more expensive BMW. Seats are very comfortable and it has a nice high-end look to it without the price. I think you cannot go wrong with this car for $38k, 300+ HP, great interior, nav, stereo, keyless start, etc.
G35 Journey w/ Premium Package
I'm very happy with our purchase. Yes, mileage is not that great, but it's still better than my truck, and there's more horsepower too. My lone complaint is that it's primarily my wife's daily driver and not mine! But that's hardly Infiniti's fault.
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.
