Used 2008 INFINITI G35 Consumer Reviews
ok car
I have had my car for about 2 months now and the performance is awesome. I have always driven sports cars and this one definitely out performs most of them. It is a very fun car to drive but I have had issues with the poor gas mileage. I understand with over 306 HP you aren't going to get the best gas mileage but why have a performance car if you can't drive it like you want. I also am having issues with the brakes squeaking and my car only has 25k miles on it. I guess the brake pads have to be changed frequently on the car. Wish I had known that before I bought it.
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.
Strong Player
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.
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.
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.
