Great car at a fair value. It is what it is... a luxurious Nissan Maxima. Comfortable inside, with many luxuries coming standard. Options are minimalized (but they didn't skimp either), which makes for an easy buying decision. Car is very peppy, & quick, but feels luxurious at the same time.

This is a great car! good pick up, good headlights, many toys, The winter package and side sills are the only way to go if you have winters ...wow. No other car comes close to this car in this price range.

I absolutely Love the comfort and preformance of this car. I wasn't shocked at all that Infinity is made by Nissan! I have always owned Nissans for length of life and they give you good looks as well as all the fun gadgets! It's like they fill the car up with amenities as Standard and you feel like you got a good deal!
Best bang for the buck!

This is the second Infiniti I bought because I love the way it drives, the sharp appearance and it is very reliable. Every time I have to take it in for routine service the dealership knows me and treats me like a person, not a number. I love the way they wash your car when you take it in and if your car needs to remain at the dealer for a considerable time, they give you a rental car to drive. I would definately recommend this car to my friends and family.

Got this 1 y/o old car with only 5000 mi. Miss my '96 I-30. It had fewer bells and whistles and less power but a smoother ride and narrower turning circle. The '02 has been reliable and comfortable, but not exciting to drive. Trunk requires concentration to close. Mileage 20-22 in mixed city/hwy driving. Excellent accereration and braking. Overall handling very good. Excellent at avoidancce maneuvers. Only prob with '02 currently is a jerking at 40- 60 mph when foot is removed or placed on accelerator. Large interior, very comnfortable for my larger friends. Large trunk. Well made, quiet ride over smooth roads.

I bought this vehicle new and it has made 4 trips across country (California-Illinois). It's a dream out on the interstates and whips city traffic with neck-snapping acceleration and wonderful brakes. Better than expected fuel mileage for this large and luxurious a car. Tight as a drum and silent up over 100 mph. Conservative but elegant styling. It's an all-around winner and great value.
This car really moves!

Excellent vehicle, lots of power, very very comfortable on long rides, I'm 6'2" and have no problem finding that great driving position. Classy looking vehicle. I'm averaging 24 mpg and always get 32+ mpg on the highway at 70+ mph. Try getting that out of a 4 banger! This is just a great cruiser. So good that I even bought a G35 for the ultimate fun!

I love this car, its the first car I've owned for quite some time. I find it to be very responsive, especially on the brakes. The car handles very well and picks up speed within a few seconds.

Kick-ass performance. This is a car for people who love to drive. If you want the softest ride or best gas mileage look elsewhere. Nerds who nit pick about the clock (real class) or other minor issues don't have a clue. This is for people who know & appreciate a true drivers car combined with luxury. All others need not apply, as you wouldn't appreciate it!
Great car, will buy again!

We have owned this car for 2 years now and have had absoloutely no problems. It is a fun car to drive and a great family car with a sporty feel. Would highly recommend! Just a note: Recommends midgrade fuel and while this costs more, we have noticed about 2-5 mpg difference vs. regular fuel.
Excellent car

Very comfortable on long trips. Got the sport package in order to get the stability control. The ride is a little stiff but smooth and it handles great! I get 22-24 mpg in town, 30 mpg on highway. Trip computer is nice, but the mpg figure is about 3 mpg high compared to actual. The dealers have all been very courteous and give me loaner every time I take it in. If I have a problem, they diligently work to resolve it, with no question asked. It does have a wide turning radius, but I've gotten used to it and have no problems parking or turning.

We have had this I35 gold pkg sport pkg since 02 Have had it back to the dealership at least five times. They have taken sun roof out three times, The sun shade off four times, they can not find where the smell come's from, it smells like mold but they think it has something to do with the glue from the interior roof The car drives great But we seem to go thru BRAKES

Like it alot, heated stearing wheel makes everyone jealous,in winter.Thankfully there is 4 heated seats.Spoiler really makes it look better.Subwoofer makes it a sound system.Excellent power, 45 to 65 a snap.Brake assist, Electronic stearing and throttle etc.,makes a very satisfying and thankfully reliable vehiecle.

The vehicle has been very sound mechanically. Very comfortable and handles well on the road. Ride would be better with different tires- low profile tires have a rougher ride

I have had the car just over 3 years. No problems whatsoever. Still fun to drive and I can zoom past most everyone when I need to (or want to). Comfortable, loaded with options, a fantastic car at a great price.

Thrilled to be an Infinity owner. We bought it for reliability, the heated seats and steering wheel. The Bose sound system with lots of speakers makes driving a pleasure. We hope to keep this car for ten years or 150,000 miles whichever comes first.

I35 is an awesome machine. I was in the market for a car that could match style, comfort and performance of my 98 BMW 740IL but not force me to take out a 2nd mortgage to pay for it. Not until I found the I35 was there a comparison. It is roomy, fast, comfortable and stylish.

I have been very satisfied with my 2002 I35 performance, overall quality, and dealer service (free oil/filter change-life of ownership). Had one problem regarding the driver power seat motor-it failed but was replaced under the 5yr-50K warranty. The warranty expired in 9/2006 (only 29K miles on it now). Took in for 30K mile service-approx $800...OK. But my sunroof was stuck open & service said I needed a new motor & some "rail", estimate $2100! Not happy about that-calling service manager as I found online a motor and complete frame for approx $1000.
I Love This Car!

When I bought it it was 3 yrs old with 22,000 miles on it and in excellent shape. I bought Infiniti's Elite Protection Plan with zero deductible to cover the car when the basic warranty ran out in Nov. '05 and have been thoroughly pleased. Every issue that has come up has been covered under warranty at no additional cost to me and the dealership service experience has been top notch. The only reason I rated it a 9 for comfort is that I have the Sport Package which has a slightly stiffer ride than the non-sport version. But it is a blast to drive and very comfortable to ride in. The cabin is roomy and rear seat passengers are treated in luxury with heated rear seats and a power rear sunshade.
Great Car!

This is my third Infiniti and hopefully will not be my last. Having driven it for 16,000 miles I enjoy it as much today as the first day I drove it home. Yes, the turning radius is larger than I would like, but everything else from the great sound system, comfortable seats, to the spoiler and chrome wheels make it very special. The engine is very smooth and powerful which is a marked improvement over the I30 which I had last. I don't think dollar for dollar that you can get a better car. The color makes a huge difference in styling appeal. Mine is black which makes much more of a statement and looks richer.
Love my new car!

I searched Acura,Lexus,Lincoln,Audi, and Volvo and was disappointed. Only this car had all the "toys" I was looking for and enough luxury to smooth out New England roads without losing the feel of the road. I have driven up icy hills with no problem, the heated seats are loved by all my passengers, and I want to drive all the time ! It rides well, very solid feel. Lots of spunky horses under the hood takes some getting used to, but I LOVE DRIVING THIS CAR !!
Fast, fun, and RELIABLE!

I already have over 121,000 miles on my black 2002. I give this car top ratings in terms of reliability. Two things have gone wrong with this car in its lifetime. 1. I had to replace my A/C clutch (found replacement on ebay). The clutch itself was working, but the plate got knocked off somehow. 2. My driver's seat doesn't move forward or backward any more. The motor still works, but the seat is stuck. Luckily it's stuck in the correct position, so I haven't had it fixed yet. The car is fast. Faster than it looks. It's very comfortable and easy to drive. The car strikes a nice balance between comfy and sporty. It's not a caddy and it's not a BMW M3.

Great car for the money. Slightly noisier than a Lexus, but quite acceptable. Dealership provides excellent service. Car shifts smoothly, and plenty of power at high speeds. I recommend the car to others.

I love my Infiniti I had a fully loaded 98 Maxima after it was stolen I got the I35. Yes they still look like the Maxima inside with a few more features. Yes the turning could be tighter but the car is still great. The ride is great for long distances. Dealership is great they go above and beyond. Even when its there fault. While looking at other cars like the Acura TL, Lexus ES300, Jaguar which was too small. None could change my mind. I did sway on the TL for the auto stick but the color choices for the TL were boring.
I35 is wonderful value

Having compared the I35 to Lexus ES300, Audi A4, Volvo S60, Acura 3.2TL, Saab 9-3, VW Passat and VW Jetta, I came to the conclusion that the I35 gave me the mix of comfort and handling for which I was looking. It was also by far the best value for the price. Comparing out the door price for similarly equipped cars, the I35 was thousands less. I also appreciated the dealer. I've been driving the car now for about a month. Build quality is the best I have ever seen. No complaints at all.

I looked at a C320 but it cost too much for what you get. The next one was a 3.2 TL which was a decent car and quicker, but looked like a polished Honda. So I went for the I35 w/ more conservative styling, larger size and mid-range price. (1% over invoice) I got every option. I wasn't sure about the chrome wheels (too flashy?) but I get alot of compliments. In short, great car, good deal, great service from dealer (had some options put on the car.) 9 out of 10.

I've had my I35 for almost 6 years now, and I still love it. I love the styling (pearl white w/gold trim). In the 6 years I've had it, the only repair was the light on the heated seat went out. It just runs and runs, my dependable "baby". Comfortable, fast, good gas mileage.

I just love this car. From NYC I've driven it to Cleveland (RR Hall of Fame) and Myrtle Beach. Long drives with nothing but enjoyment because of the I35. You can not get a better high performance/luxury car for the money. Lexus ES300 is overpriced and underpowered. Acura TL Type S just doesn't have the same luxurious interior look or feel.

I've had my I35 for 6 weeks and it is exactly what I expected. Previously drove a Maxima and wanted the same reliability, comfort and acceleration in a different package. I test drove an Acura 3.2 and Lexus ES300--the Acura was like driving a Honda and the Lexus was too pricey. I got the sunroof package and cold weather package for $29,000. Great value.

My new I35 was the best investment I have made. I drive over 20,000 miles a year and I needed a car that would make it fun while safe. The 255 hp engine makes it feel like I'm driving a sports car, but the styling and comfort remind you that it's a luxury vehicle. The Bose sound system is amazing.

I researched this car purchase for nearly a year before picking the I35. I looked at the Camry, Audi A4, Acura TL, VW Passat and found the I35 to be the best value of the group. I commute nearly 3 hours a day in my car so I wanted something that was very comfortable (I am 6'3" -250 lbs) and reliable at a great value. After riding in a friend's I30, I became seriously interested based on the smooth ride, great leg/head room and all the standard amentities that are options in other models considered.

I have been an Infinity owner for 13 years. I have always leased and am now purchasing my I35. My reason for selecting the Infinity I series was safety, reliability, easy maintenance with no problems, ever. On top of all that the car is beautiful inside and out. It's hard to beat for the money.
