Loving this car!
Step on the gas and this car takes off like it is jet propelled. The back up camera and navigation system are valuable assets and should be standard on every car. The finish, the ride and the quality are unbelievable. Every place we go we get stares and people stop us and tell us how much they love the car.
4 door sports car
I had an M35 prior to this and believe it or not I like the G35 much more. Great power, handling and braking; it feels like a 4-door sports car. Looked at BMWs and the other usual suspects but there is no comparison when it comes down to price.
Impressive Value Under Radar
The car handles extremely well, and unlike the general Edmunds' Review, I do not sense an artificial feel with steering; more of a euro steer feel. It also has great response and superb quickness. F&F quality is very high and as good as any higher priced lux vehicle I have seen. Cornering and sharp turns are spot on without any "pitch back", more like BMW. Only have 9k miles and only one criticism so far: the "studio on wheels" needs better radio/tuner component than current Clarion unit. High end is only average and mid-range sound is terribly weak. Whats more is the radio has no adjustment for mid- range. Unbelievable in 2008 with car stereo and market long matured.
Hard to Resist
We test drove a lexus IS 250, 2009 Maxima and the Infiniti G35 with AWD. Could not believe the feeling you get from driving this car. While gas mileage is subpar, my feeling is that I did not buy this car with the gas mileage as the primary concern. Love the Nav system, AWD, as we live in the Northeast and the looks I get when I pull into a parking space. Highway driving is fun as the car has a tight feel to it and is very responsive. By far the best car and value in its class.
Luxurious, well-built and sporty
I am very happy with this car. Solid ride, quiet, nice interior. Visually distinct lines on the car. Very responsive steering. Transmission shifts are smooth and close together. Coming off a 2003 Audi A6, the build and ride quality of the G35X seems much better. Averaging 20 mpg in mixed driving.
2008 GS-35
This automobile is everything I was looking for. Test drove the following: Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, MB C350, Lexus IS 350. None came close. Love the nav back up camera, and XM radio with the Studio on Wheels. The fact that I can record up to 2,900 songs is a plus also. The Liquid Platinum with the Stone & Graphite compliments the Washi-finish Aluminum beautifully. Car is a 10 IMO. Have a look and test drive you will fall in love.
Best Bang for the Buck!
I am very particular about certain things and my car is one of them. I traded in an 06 Honda Accord V6 for this 08 G35 Sedan Sport. I did a lot of research and test driving (Lexus IS 350, BMW 335i), but I was always partial to the Infiniti G35. I love the exhaust note!! This was a no brainer. The Lexus and Bimmer were $7k and $10k more respectively with the same options. I got mine fully loaded. The car has wicked acceleration! The quality of the materials inside the cabin are better than expected. The paddle shifters work great in manual shift mode. I recommend going for a test drive, but be warned... you will be hooked :-)
Best In Class
I purchased the an 08xS in January of '08 and have since driven it back and forth to California. It is truly a great car. We also own a 2008 BMW 328xi and I prefer the Infiniti in daily driving, and even enthusiastic driving. Better overall performance, more comfortable, better and easier to control. The bang for the buck factor is a no brainer. Got every single option on the car for 39,500, and this is sport and AWD, with every package. Handled a snow storm in the Rocky Mountains outside Salt Lake City in January better than my old Jeep GC would have. Also is electronically limited to 130 mph (salt lake flats). Cannot recommend this vehicle more strongly.
"Hold on to your hats!"
I've owned mine for about 2 weeks now and still no complaints. Powerful, solid, responsive, & extremely fun to drive. Love to drive it on winding roads, it handles great.
Great Car Great Price
I looked at Audi, Lexus, no comparison when you factor in everything.
