G35X over the Cadillac CTS-AWD

It was a really tough task to pick a winner in comparing the G35 to the CTS, but in the end I went with the G35. The things that made the G35 more attractive, and therefore my choice were: backup camera, built-in bluetooth, active cruise control, 4k lower price (with all wanted options).

Worth a look - in a word, superb

This is an extremely sharp handling and undeniably quick sports car that just happens to have 4 doors and AWD. Though it may be a personal preference but pictures do not do justice to the lines and form of this car (like flowing water caught in an instant). Roomy inside (for this segment) and comfortable without excess. Premium and Navigation packages are a must. This is not a super-car but its highly capable and not overpriced. You can judge for yourself - definitely take a test drive.

I got the 2008 G35 Journey with the tire and wheel package, premium package and navigation package. It is a great looking car inside and out. Acceleration and handling are impressive. The exhaust sounds great. Fuel economy could be better. The navigation is fairly easy to use and comes with all sorts of added technological goodies. A lot of bang for the buck.

I traded in my 2003 G35 for the 2008 model. I never repeat same brands or styles but my first G35 (purchased in April 2002) was the best car I have ever owned. Never had mechanical issues. Performance never changed in almost 6 years and the long term overall quality was excellent.

There is no better value in the "Entry-Level Luxury Sedan" genre than the Infiniti G35. I have the Journey trim with the Sport Package. Awesome. Better than I expected. Great ride, powerful, quick and a real head turner. Interior is beautiful, too. After looking at Acura TL, 3-Series BMW and others, there is really no comparison. Only downside is MPG. I am getting about 19 living in congested Washington DC spending 50% of time in "city driving" conditions. German manufacturers beware! The G35 delivers luxury and performance that Lexus and Acura cannot match.

Tossable 6MT!

Break-in miles finally past, now I'm able to use the full RPM range and push handling limits! So far, flawless. The G35S feels light and nimble. Steering is very direct and engine flexibility (low rev pull) is great. Interior noise level is low, what I expect for a luxury sports sedan. Only quibble is a noisier than normal clutch, or just needs a bit more insulation. Stock RE050A tires grip very well, although won't last with that 140 treadwear. Interior materials seem durable and well designed. Comprehensive options nav, prem, tech, esp liked the superb driver's seat bolster adjustments. Fuel economy could improve though.

Leased the 08 G35 Journey with Premium Package, liquid platinum is the perfect color for this vehicle. My decision was between the '09 Acura TL and the G35. There was no comparison between these two vehicles when evaluating features, and performance for the money. The G offered 306 hp, smart key, upgraded leather seats.

Enjoying it ad infinitum

Bought it over a month ago and have been extremely pleased with it. I was initially in the market for the A4 and test drove it couple of times. Although the A4 drives well, the 08 model felt a little cramped even in the front. The Infiniti dealership was right next door, so decided to stop in to test drive the G35. Was sold on it instantly. Great handling and power, not to speak of luxurious and (relatively) roomy interior. Reminded me of my friend's 924 that I used to occasionally drive couple of decades ago.

More comfy than Lexus IS and more sporty than ES 350. Audi, BMW & MB can't compare in terms of value/performance.

I looked at Audi, Lexus, no comparison when you factor in everything.
