I had my eyes on this car since 2007 when it came out. I got my 008 G35x after getting rid of my 2006 Maxima which was great except for the pathetic turning circle. I purchased a pre owned car with 27K on it. Looks and rides like new. This is my dream car. Maybe I have low expectations of a dream car (Lamborghini maybe?) but I am realistic. The car is beautiful on the outside and inside. It is comfortable, quiet, has a killer Bose sound system, and handles fantastic. I had the same engine in my Maxima but you not know it here. The engine makes a sweet growl and has amazing power off the line and consistent through the RPM. Something Infiniti did with the drivetrain and they did it right !!

Two-year follow up on my 2008 G35xS. Have the "S" pckge which makes car even better. The "S" package is 18" beautiful wheels, different front facia, side rocker panel, paddle shifters, sport seats. Suspension stays same as stock which is nice blend for sport/comfort. Bought used and have owned two years and put on over 50k miles. ZERO problems with this car. Reliability has been rock-solid. Other than typical maintenance I have put nothing into this car. Have always owned Audi/VW and even though the Infiniti interior isn't quite the fit and finish of the Audi it is close. The AWD system in this car is flawless. Drives like RWD until you need the traction in snow/rain.

Got this car to replace a totalled '02 bmw 325xi. Shopping for cars was a real disappointment, everything was either too underpowered or too expensive. Infiniti's value blew me away; I test drove a 2008 g35 and bought it later that day. Sure, the Germans make a smoother ride, but the g35 is quicker. The 306HP V6 is a blast to drive and its interior is feature rich and well designed. The nav system is very intuitive and well designed, especially the steering wheel controls. Rear wheel drive gives it a great sporty feel but is useless in the snow without proper tires. The gas mileage is terrible, I get about 13 mpg in the city. oh well, its worth it.
I made the best investment

I was sketchy about the price but i test drove this car once and bought it the same day. I love everything about the car! Feels like I am in a grand luxury car whenever I drive it. I have leather seats and a sunroof which is great for the hot and humid Florida weather. The exhaust sounds like a bad ass (: when turning on and driving off with the car. The power is strong. Gas mileage is horrible, but listen to the other posts, its WORTH it ! The tire to road frequency is great. Tires grip the road beautifully. Boast and sound system is not that loud hearing music from the outside, but the inside sounds good. I get about 20-30 mpg on the hwy and about 19-20 on the road. I'm a female so I don't drive harshly or roughly. My car has black stripes and is silver and I get so much compliments from it. I have 99665 miles on it and it drives like new. Maintenance is so expensive that is a con! If u cannot afford it, don't buy an Infiniti! Repair is not a big issue because I have not replaced much yet except for my hoses and battery which is about 140 altogethor And that's it. After 100k drive belts and fluids are needed to be changed 8 years later and that's it. Hopefully it will last another decade. Brakes don't last very long and they are very expensive when u go to the dealer !!! But other then that once u drive you'll feel very confident with the car because its so perfect. I shoudlve gave the car interior three stars because the steering wheel chips and looks nasty so I put a cover on it and the doors are chipping and scratched on the drivers side so be gentle when it comes to cleaning products. Water works just fine. The seats are so perfect. I wipe them with water and that's it. They are so climate controlled but I think because its leather and thseres a switch to warm up that seats when its cold . A/C works beautifully . another con is that my car is sooooo low !!!! When going over bumps, u must be cautious because I could hear the scratching noise under the car! Even when going slowly. Thank god under the car has a covering. After I'm done financing I'm going for a q45 or q50 which is an extension of g35/37

This car has been a blessing since new. We just rolled over 74,000 miles and we have invested very little money. So far it has received 4 tires, battery, brakes and a radiator flush - that's it. At over 11 years old, it is still going strong - peppy as ever and fun to drive. I consider purchasing a newer model (not necessarily Infiniti) with newer safety, convenience and technology features but I don't mind saving the payments I might have for other things like travel.

This is a car for drivers. It appeals to People who love the experience of driving. It's my 2nd G35 and as I ponder my next vehicle I won't be trading this in. I'll keep it for my daughter, but not my son. The AWD and control of the car will bring me comfort when she goes off to college. I've had no problems navigating through snow storms and blizzards and feel confident in my daughter's safety from Mother Nature. The Acceleration and Handling concerns me that my new driver son will not appreciate how far this vehicle allows you to push limits. This is not your normal sedan. Understanding how most cars drive will make you appreciate this car's experience, even late in it's life. Fuel economy is not great. Miles Per Gallon are traded for Smiles Per Mile. I can't trade in this car when I get my next because there is so much more life in it than the market value reflects. I have no regrets buying this car and driving it for close to 100,000 miles. It's been a great experience. My youngest daughter and her friend love when we travel in the "vroom-vroom" car. Good times.

I thought I needed to share just how good this car is. From build quality, to reliability and performance, I can't really think of one thing I dislike about this car. It is absolutely fantastic. Since I own the X-model, I don't know how I lived though the midwest snow storms without it before this car. Even after two storms of 10+ inches of snow this last month, I get around with absolutely zero problems! Handling is crisp and performance from the 306 hp engine is great! Just an all around fun car to drive that looks and rides great. The back seat is actually big enough for two adults to comfortably get in and out of, unlike the 3-series BMW which I've also owned. Great car!
I'm definately impressed!!!!

I have been a Maxima guy for years and never thought I could afford a G. I've always liked the looks of the G35 so I decided to test drive one. It was all over after that. WOW is all I had to say. I bought the 08 early this year because of the rebates, only paid 32K for it with the Sport and Premium packages. I still have my 03 Maxima which I like alot but I let my sister drive it for now because I just can't see letting it sit (and sit it would as long as I have a car like the G). The VLSD (vicious limited-slip differential) and paddle shifters add to the FUN factor for sure. I'm 29 and feel like a kid in a candy store every time I get in my car.

5 of 5 people found this review helpful
The G35S 6MT is one of the finest luxury sedans in its class, and, with attractive pricing comparable to the BMW 328, it certainly is closing the gaps in quality, performance and affordability. My G35S is fully loaded with aftermarket chrome detail work. Since my purchase I have been ecstatic and have woken up everyday with a smile on my face. The interior is exceptional in both design and comfort. With more standard luxury options and equipment than the 328, such as HID Xenon headlights, leather upholstery, and keyless entry with push-button start. Bottom line, if you can live without the prestigious German nameplate, the best value for your money is the Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT.

I've owned my G35 for 5 years now. My car has almost 100,000 miles, and it doesn’t necessarily hide its age. I am disappointed at the general wear and tear of the car. While it has been fairly reliable in the time that I’ve owned it, the leather seats are wrinkled (especially the driver’s seat), the dashboard is warped, the material around the window switches is practically all peeled off, part of my gauge cluster is lacking illumination, the interior has a good amount of rattles, the tires make tons of noise on the freeway even after a rotation and balance, the steering has some play in it, and I recently had to pay $400 to get my exhaust repaired due to rust. While it starts every day and drives just fine, I wouldn’t say that this car has been “dead reliable”. There are some things that pop up every now and then in the annual inspection, and it definitely drives like a car with 100k miles despite being well maintained throughout its life. One thing that might be a dealbreaker for some is the interior space. The G35 feels kind of cramped for a regular sized 4 door sedan. I’m 5’11 and my head occasionally touches the ceiling even with my seat in the lowest position. There’s not really much room to rest your arms and just relax…everything just feels a little too clustered from a space and ergonomics perspective. The seats themselves are pretty small and I don’t imagine them being comfortable for a larger individual. Rear seat legroom is not that pleasant either, although it is tolerable so I’ll give it that. The seats are plush to sit in. Road noise is definitely on the louder end. The engine is fast in the upper half of the tachometer, but you really need to wring it out sometimes to feel those 306 horses. If you’re someone who likes ample power down low, you probably won’t like the G35. Sometimes I wish the torque would come on earlier in the rev range, as the G35 can feel a little gutless around town, or generally in situations where you wouldn’t be thrashing the engine that hard. It gives you some nice brute force when you thrash it, but it’s definitely not the smoothest or the most refined engine. I borrowed a family member’s Honda Accord recently, and it was a nice change of pace driving a car with a smoother and more linear power band. The G35 is definitely rough around the edges, so I wouldn’t recommend this car if you aren’t into that sort of thing. Probably my least favorite aspect of the car is the 5-speed automatic. If I could make the purchase again, I would have spent more on the G37 with the 7-speed auto. The 5-speed is just really jerky, slow to shift, and it doesn’t pair that well with the engine. It always wants to upshift before the power band hits, and the revs sour past 3,000 rpm on the highway in top gear. It makes it easy to pass, but it’s not so good for the fuel economy, and I imagine excessive highway driving would cause wear to the engine due to the revs being so high. Overall, the 5-speed just doesn’t cooperate that well. It really bogs the car down and makes what should be a very good sport sedan feel kind of sluggish. The G35 corners well. It’s definitely better than a FWD family sedan. This car does feel heavy and the suspension wallows a bit, so I don’t always feel encouraged to whip it around or fly around corners all the time. For example, when you’re on the freeway and making lane changes, the chassis feels like it wants to sway and wallow just a little too much. Many people with G35s tend to upgrade the sway bars for that reason. When you do take a regular corner hard, the G35 grips pretty well and the body lean is kept to a respectable level. The tires almost never squeal on me even when I’m going much faster than I would normally go in a regular sedan. I do wish the steering felt more direct and not quite as heavy in these situations, though. The steering is definitely missing the crispness and the refinement that you would find in a German sport sedan. It doesn’t always keep the vehicle on a steady course, and I find that the steering requires excessive correction on bumpy roads or when driving over lane indents. On normal pavement the steering feels fine; well weighted and a decent amount of communication. I do wish that the steering dynamic was a little more “premium”. It’s rough around the edges like most aspects of the car, and it has just a little too much play around center. I also find that the accelerator has a pretty significant amount of dead travel. The initial response is fine, but from about 1/8th throttle to half throttle, there’s just not much that happens. It makes it a little more dramatic trying to maintain a constant speed and keep up with the pace of traffic on the freeway. The brakes are also a little chattery and could feel more powerful. Overall, a good car but you do kind of get what you pay for. It's more reliable than the German competitors, but not quite as refined or premium.

Stalling issues

This car is a death trap with the random stalling at slow speeds. If you get one of the many lemons like I did, then this will be a problem you either chase or decide to take your losses and trade away. Love the performance of this car. Very fast and great styling. Just coming from a Lexus ES330, this was a very sporty car that is fun to drive. I bought the car used from a coworker and he showed me where the transmission had to be replaced by warranty from the dealer at 64k because it would not go in reverse one morning, so i felt like I got a new transmission. I bought it at 66k and overall it's a fun car when it doesn't stall constantly. They've cleaned the throttle body and this doesn't seem to fix it. it is stalling pretty much daily. There are no codes thrown so of course the dealer warranty cannot duplicate it. The interior is so cheap too. Coming from Lexus I thought Infiniti was similar but this is so not true. Cheap leather looking seats that are about to crack, arm rest is cheap plastic that is already cracking, door trim and steering wheel trim has black paint the peels off. Rubber trim on outside of window is cracking and flaking off.

Everyone that is "in the know" about cars says this is the car to give the BMW 3 series "a run for the money". Rubbish. This car is quicker, sexier, and cheaper than its German counterpart. Plus, I haven't even got to the interior. Driving a BMW is like driving something an engineer built to a specification. Driving the G35 is like something a engineer designed and then an interior designer architect and artist redesigned. Its performance characteristics are superb, but more importantly, the car engages you. Its beautiful curves and attention to design and detail creates an experience. Remember, we (as humans) like things that look like us. The car looks like a supermodel.

So... I am at 200000 miles on my g35x and the engine is still wonderful. That's the good news. The bad news is these cars were not designed for northern climates and even though I had rust proof each year the subframe is completely rusting through and there is no part available anywhere . Conclusion, only buy this car in warm climates.

Just purchased and am blown away by the performance of this car. Need AWD and compared to Audi A4 Quattro. This car is a beast and is unbelievably fun to drive. I am ecstatic and can't wait to drive it. You owe it to yourself to test drive one of these if you are in the market. I had a hard time not tipping my hand in front of the dealer, it is that much fun to drive, ridiculous value. Infiniti is very helpful as well.

My wife and I bought the G35 as a "retirement" car in anticipation of taking long road trips. We have been extremely satisfied with the comfort and convenience of this car. We particularly like the navigation system and other technology features, such as the color back-up camera and CD changer. This is our first "luxury" vehicle and we enjoy the feeling when we hand the car over to the parking attendant at our favorite upscale restaurants in Atlanta.
Well worth the wait!

Just purchased certified pre-owned with 23,000. It feels like a brand new car! I love everything about it. Drive 400- 600 miles every 6-8 weeeks and so far it has been a dream. The fastest car I have ever owned and nicest ride. Also love the way you are treated by infiniti. Anything I need they are quick to please. Don't ever see myself owning anything other than an infiniti ever again!
Excellent Ride... Fun to Drive!!

I have been looking at the usual culprits in this class of vehicle for about 2 1/2 months now -- BMW, Lexus and Infiniti (both M35 and G35). I LOVED the G35 from the time I sat down until the time I left the dealership last! To get the MOST enjoyment from the car, I definitely recommend the Sport option for the added bonus of the seat upgrade! Granted the different sized tires may be a problem for some, but I have had to buy sport tires on my last 2 vehicles so am used to the cost! Regardless of some of the other "complaints" on the car, the gas mileage is a non-issue...unless you are coming from a Honda Civic or Mini- Cooper! 20 MPG city/25-28 MGH HWY is great for a PERFORMANCE SEDAN

Seems obvious, right? The car has been way more reliable than the German cars I've owned, but the build quality seems below their standards. It's 2.5 years old now and the dash above the steering wheel is warping, the rubber gaskets around the doors are starting to crack and there are wear marks on the rubber coated parts of the steering wheel, and no, I don't wear any rings! It's a great drive, though! Always plenty of power, plenty of gadgets and very reliable.

After owning this car for two years and driving it 15,000 miles per year, I have to say that I am quite disappointed. It’s a very beautiful looking car and has stood the tests of time very well, and hasn’t needed anything yet. Granted that mine has very low mileage for its age, I can always count on it taking me where I need to be without fail. But the driving experience is lacking in so many areas. Compared to other cars on the market, it feels very “amateurish”. Kind of reminds me of Kia cars during that initial phase when they were trying to make the brand more appealing to consumers but still weren’t tuning the driving dynamics right. The 2010+ G37 coupes and sedans are better vehicles, but as for the 2007-2008 G35 sedan, there were numerous kinks that had to be worked out. The car just doesn’t feel confidence-inspiring. The whole thing is just too unpredictable and I never feel like I have proper control over the vehicle. It’s stubborn in the way it behaves on the road and the vehicle never listens to driver inputs. The thing that probably bugs me the most about the car is the transmission. The 5-speed automatic is counterintuitive, sloppy shifting, has a tendency to hunt for gears, and rarely puts you in the correct gear required for the situation. I guess I could have went for the manual but my options were limited at the time of purchase. The gears are all spaced very close together and it always shifts too early, cutting off power and denying me a large reserve of the advertised 306 horses. In stop-and-go traffic, the transmission shifts through its entire gearset during the 10 feet you’ve moved up in traffic and annoyingly holds the gears long after you’ve let off the accelerator, like you’re “stuck” in the gear. On the highway it revs at over 3,000 RPM because of the tight spacing between all the gears, making you think you were driving a 3-speed automatic. The shifting can also get pretty violent which makes driving this car a headache. Another thing that bugs me is the engine performance. Doesn’t have a linear or predictable torque curve. It’s very soft on low-end torque and needs to be revved out a great deal to keep up with other cars on the road. Engine is very loud and course sounding and because of the sloppy powerband it’s not really so much of a joy to ring out either. Most mainstream cars have more smooth, predictable acceleration and meaty grunt off the line. G35 does not have that and other cars on the road will be going faster from stop light to stop light than you. Often times I find myself missing that smooth, seamless, meaty, refined feel that my old Volkswagen had even though that car had a fraction of the horsepower. The steering feels artificially heavy, like they tried to go after BMW’s chunky/hefty steering feel but instead they put effort over feedback. Steering doesn’t feel predictable or communicative..just simply difficult to turn which hampers the maneuverability. Doesn’t have a good on-center feel and the steering doesn’t always give you a good idea of what the front tires are doing. Turning radius could definitely be better. The brakes are soft and don’t provide much confidence or linear stopping power. They feel like Sentra brakes...or maybe even a step below that. I’ve tested the brakes and the car the stopping distance is very long compared to other cars I’ve had in the past. You need to keep a big distance from other cars in front of you because the brakes probably won’t save you in a panic situation, which I find somewhat unacceptable in any modern day vehicle, especially a sport sedan. The cornering abilities are disappointing. It feels very heavy in the corners and makes you (along with your loose items in the vehicle) feel like you’re being sucked into a vortex around a slight bend in the road. After exiting the turn and getting back on the gas, literally 99% of the time the transmission won’t put you in the correct gear to propel the vehicle back up to speed. The car just drives very amateurish. While everything operates as it should going down the road, the car behaves very stubbornly and leaves much to be desired. On top of everything, the gas mileage will empty your pockets. While the vehicle has made it to 60,000 miles, I could see it needing transmission/drivetrain and suspension repairs in the future. These components of the vehicle simply feel very low-rent feel to them and I don’t see them standing the tests of time. Material quality and ergonomics are also seriously lacking. I’ve seen car interiors from the ‘90s hold up better. Storage solutions are lacking and the armrests are practically useless. My advice if buying this car is don’t be fooled by the advertised 306 horses. The car certainly doesn’t feel like it was built properly for that kind of power, and you rarely ever get to use them. Maybe skip the “X” and go for the RWD “S” model with the manual and the active 4 wheel steering...

I have had this car over a year and am still in that "new car love" with it. The 306 HP engine puts out TONS of power, so much it has turned me in to one of those people who speeds anywhere and everywhere. I have driven tons and tons of cars, and have never driven one this fast. As the dealer said, it is a sports car with a sedan body. The interior of the car is equally as stunning as the performance. All of the functions, including the navigation, are extremely easy to use. We love the iPod dock in the center console, as well as the ability to use an external flash drive to import music into the car's memory for playback. The seats are overly comfortable and roomy all around.

Overall, I am very happy with my G35. It is one of the most beautifully styled cars on the road, and it is really fun to drive. As a driver who spends almost all of his time in stop-and-go driving, the gas mileage is a little subpar (17-18 mpg in the city, but much better on the highway). I expected this, however, when purchasing this car. Overall, I am thrilled with my car and would recommend it to anyone who wants a laundry list of features in a reasonably-priced, luxury car.

Balance. This car has it in almost every aspect. I love how it balances power, control, reliability, comfort, usability and value. It isn't the same as a coupe 6MT on a summer's day, but makes up for overall enjoyment, year-round. I wasn't able to find more bang for my buck. I previously had a 2007 G35 Coupe 6MT. It was Wonderful, but I needed a second AWD car for winter. Decided on the G35x for AWD, Power and 4drs (got kids!). Wife now drives it and loves it. I spend an hour in it every day and am thankful for every minute. I am a big fan of Infiniti's now. They do such an excellent job with their cars. They don't make them feel overly mechanical or disconnected.

Just picked it up today in liquid platinum. Wasn't looking into all the different packages. The journey comes with everything a person can need and despite not having moonroof, a 6-disc in dash changer with mp3 capability along with a roaring 306hp was all I needed and wanted. Fell in love with back in april and finally made a great deal on it. Hoping for it to be a great car for a while to come!

Super impressed with this car (so far)! We've owned Mercedes (S, CLK, & E - Class), Jaguars, and Audis in the past and are tired of paying $200+ for a key-fob!! Switched to Japanese for the reliability factor...and...there's not many of these on the road (vs. 3- series BMW! Quicker 0-60 than my 99' CLK 430!! Would have paid another 20K for a similar model Lexus!
My first real investment pays off...

First of all, WOW. This car captured my eye from the moment I spotted it during my search for the best car in my price range. At first what really got me into it was it's stock 306hp V-6! And good thing because if it were not for it having a more powerful engine than the Acura TL Type S, I would have never even considered this car as an option. Now moving onto the inside (where I really fell in love with the car) you see a gorgeous speed/tach gauge setup with a barrage of buttons all with the perfect touch of accent lighting. Not to mention just about any tech feature you can fit into a sport sedan (even if you don't opt for the tech. package.) Continued below

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :-)
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.
So far so good!!

Bought in Feb 2008, tail end of winter, in Rochester NY. Did awesome in the snow!! Plenty of kick, quiet, smooth. Getting about 20 mpg mostly in town driving. Not great, but considering a 306hp engine and a driver with a heavy foot.

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.

If you like a four door vehicle that combines performance, sport, luxury and all weather drive, the G35xS Infiniti is the best out there for the money. This vehicle turns heads and I'm always getting personal compliments about this "G". 0-60 in 5.4 seconds or better with AWD, V6 and 5 speed automatic/manumatic this vehicle is a thrill to drive. I do know cars and research them. You have my honest recommendation this vehicle rides smooth, handles very well, very reliable and safe. Real premium comfy leather seats, Bose sound system, excellent brakes and low cost maintenance this is the best upscale vehicle to own and enjoy everyday.
It's a great car!

I researched cars for a long time. I did own a Passat, and it was fine, but I was tired of the Euro quirks and expensive repairs. I wanted an all-wheel drive car with good technological features, as well as something that I could DRIVE. I looked at another Passat, but the V6 4-Motion was as much as this car. Easy decision there. This has been a great car so far. Love the acceleration and the handling. The interior is first rate. When compared to the BMW 3**xi, or the A4, it hands down the best value. More horsepower, more features, less money.
Couldn't be happier!

I've been driving my 08 G35 Journey with Sport Package for 6 months and am still as happy as the first time I stepped inside. This car is so fun to drive. I constantly get compliments. The navigation is easy to use and accurate. I love the backup camera. It's great not having to dig in my purse to find my keys. I now have 10K miles and am averaging 23-24 mpg. I don't think this is bad considering the 300+ hp.
Great decision to buy G35X!

Researched and looked for almost 6 mos before deciding on the G35x. I drove the BMW 3 series, Lexus IS 350, Honda Accord, Pontiac G8 GT & Toyota Camry... and by far, the Infiniti G35x outperformed all of them. It was the only one I walked away from being "blown away" by. Also, for the money compared to the 3 series, it is a steal!! You are not going to find a sports sedan with all this offers for a better price. Period! I'm 6'4 and I'm very comfortable in the G35x.
Wow!

Wow! What a fun car to drive. I test drove one, and I spent three months trying to talk myself out of buying it. I hated myself for wanting to buy it because I did not need a new car. I finally gave in, and I have not looked back. It makes me smile everyday.

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.

Overall a great car! The value you get buying this car over the Lexus IS350, BMW 335I, and Mercedes C350 is awesome. We got it fully loaded with the Tech, Nav, Prem, and Sports pkg. If you are looking for a fast car that has a lot of luxury for a better price than the others in this segment you can't go wrong. Cornering with the sports suspensions is amazing! You will feel all the imperfections of a bad road. Back seat has plenty of room for 2 teenage skinny girls, and car seat for my little boy. Be prepared for some envious people!

Purchased our vehicle last week, the wife and I absolutely love it! It is very responsive, and has a nice smooth ride. The acceleration is outstanding, as well as all the bells and whistles. Love the voice recognition, blue tooth, and navigation. It is a bit annoying that you cannot input directions on the nav while on the move, but we'll get over it. If you are in the market to purchase a car, I recommend you take a look at this car. There is not a vehicle out there that has the features that the G35 comes with at such an affordable price. Awesome job Infiniti!

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 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.

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.

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.
