I35 review

This has been the best car I have ever purchased and I have had many. It gets better gas mileage than most 4 cylinder cars and has a very responsive 6. The front wheel drive is great for winter snows in the mountains. The fold down rear seat has come in handy many times for hauling material.

I purchased my Infinity in December of 2001 - the car is a 2002 though. It is now 2015 and I'm still driving my Infinity. She has 229,000 miles on her and she still runs great! I still have the same engine and transmission in her. I will definitely buy another Infinity.

To be honest i never liked infiniti before this car. It has opened my eyes to extreme reliability. I bought mine used with 140K on it dealer maintained with records. I have never been stuck with this car ever. Has it had minor issues yes but being a DYI guy i fixed most of it myself. The engine and tranny are great i am at 200K right now and have tried to beat the car up and still it goes strong. I would recommend this car to anyone as it is one of the most reliable engines out there. Infiniti will get more business from me in the future.

Recently purchased a 2002 midnight blue Infiniti I35 from a private owner and am very pleased. The 3.5 Liter V-6's 255 HP engine is highly responsive, yet very quiet and smooth running. The soft tan leather interior, plush carpeting, and space age instrumentation, are immaculate. The A/C is ice cold. You would never know this vehicle has 92,000 miles on it. A true looker! I drove a 1998 INFINITI I30 for 197,000 miles until the timing chain went. Enjoyed that very reliable car too, but this vehicle is so much more roomier and comfortable. INFINITI definitely improved the model tenfold in introducing the I35. OUTSTANDING!

Been driving this beauty since 2005, really only had few problems. Once the power steering fuel had to be replaced, another time some minor things.The only concern is that after 100K miles when you see these minor problems, they all add up very fast, for instance it took me $200 to replace the HID headlights. But let me tell you I have done three cross country trips in this car without a trace of discomfort! The leg space is amazing for both front and rear passengers. I haven't met anyone who is not impressed with its interiors. Drive feels very secure. Perfect family sedan! Can't imagine to part with it!

Bought this car Brand New in 2002 with 38 miles on the odometer. Hands Down The BEST CAR I've ever owned. Still driving it to this day, but about to put it on the market in lieu of an upcoming acquisition of a 2018/2019 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Sedan. You would be Really hard pressed to find a car back in 2002 such as the I35. Acceleration could Not be beat! After installing a rear anti-sway bar, handling improved exponentially. My only gripe about the car was the lack of heated seats. The dealership offered to order one at the time, but we would've had to wait 3+ weeks for it. I'm actually considering keeping it, just because we have Never had a problem with the car. It's very safe, Very fun to drive, and mine is perhaps one of the Best Kept ones out there. Has Only enjoyed Full Synthetic Oil Changes throughout its life. Brakes replaced 1x. Spark Plugs replaced 1x at 105k miles. Doesnt have a timing belt and the chain is Still going. I cant say enough about this Monstrous Car! She's a Beast And A Beauty Combined into one.

Best car I've ever driven. Infiniti doesn't hold its value like Lexus, Acura, etc... Why? Passing power all day long, sexy masculine looks, solid fit and finish! I have 229,000 miles on mine... bought it with 89,000 4 years ago... so I load 35k per year on her. This car will probably run forever!

I bought this car in 2007 with 57K miles on it. I love this car. Very responsive and the quality of this car is awesome. I've only had 2 repairs with this car, radiator and steering fluid replacement. Mind you, it's best if you immediately repair any issues before it gets worse because it can get pricey. I engine lights comes on from time to time. I believe its because of the amount of oil in the engine. Once I add oil to lights come off. Who knows! Once I felt my radiator was going bad I fixed it pronto. Trust me you will save lots of money. Car has a very smooth ride and it has never failed me til this day. The biggest problem I have with this car is that its a gasaholic! Terrible

I have owned about 30 cars, old and new, from sport cars to luxury cars to family haulers, and my used I35 has impressed me more than anything I've ever owned. It is the perfect blend of sport, luxury and utility. Build quality is so good the car still looks and drives like new, even with 120,000 miles on the clock. This is one car I could own forever, since it has the best of everything, and actually could last forever!

I purchased this 2002 infiniti in nov of 2008 used with only one previous owner and 90,000 miles on it. Overall it's been a great car with a few fun luxury perks to it. The gas mileage isn't bad for a V6 engine and for how quick it is. I've had to replace my 6 disc CD changer once (which was pricey) because I had a skipping CD inserted and it disabled my entire dashboard. Apparently it was a problem my repair guy said happens to this model of car...? I also had to replace my rear brakes. It's a fun car to drive, but the repairs are pricey- which is something I expected anyway with a luxury vehicle.

I bought a 2002 I35 with 157k miles. I have been driving it for a few months now. Im happy with car except for minor issues. The one I got is the sports base model and its kind low for me and turning raduis is worst than my G500 SUV. Im surprised with the acceleration and steering is very tight. Braking is also very good. For a 11 year old car with 157k thats awesome. Mileage is around 24 to 28 mpg. Bose system is the best part of the car. Its like listening to a high end system at home. Like any other car just make sure you get one that is well taken care of with no accidents etc.

This is my second 2002 Infiniti I35 (first one was totaled). I bought it for the engine, looks, and reliability. 114k miles and the only issue this car has ever had was a few broken motor mounts. I expect to drive this car literally until the wheels fall off, and I know that it will be a long, long time before that happens. This is a wonderful, superbly built car. Build quality and reliability are excellent. The I35 was probably the best car (durability and reliability wise) that Infiniti ever built. Think about it, take a Nissan Maxima (already legendary for reliability...how many old Maximas do you see on the road??) and ADD ONTO IT with Infiniti quality control and upgrades.

Had my I35 for 3 weeks. Its a great car. Excellent combination of luxury, performance and value, with roomy interior and big trunk. Best part is price. Its loaded at $30k. Cars like the Volvo S60, Audi A6, Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES300, look good in ads at $399 leases, etc., but when you add the options to these cars needed to match the I35, the I35 wins by several grand.

I've had my I35 for 2 years now. Its my favorite car I've ever owned, and I normally trade in every couple of years. Engine is phenomenal, handling is great, interior has all the appointments of an entry level luxury sedan. I test drove several other cars including a G35 and this one was the best overall car. Normally I would be ready to trade in for a new car by now, but I love this car so much, I'll be hanging on to it for a while. Also a great used car for the money.

There is nothing bad to say about this beauty, but it is getting older. My 14 year old wants this car for herself when she turns 16. That says it all!! Unfortunately, Infiniti no longer makes the equivalent. Front wheel drive, comfortable larger sedan, but sporty, fold down seats, and good gas mileage...what happened to that concept? It makes me sad, as the M series does not have those things.

I bought my I35 on Aretha's Birthday, March 25, 2019 with 123,600 miles on from the original owner who had not driven the car for about 8 to 10 months..it was parked in the garage. I have been impressed with the engine and how freely it likes to go fast! Although 17 years old, the car has held up well and with it not being driven for several months, I knew I was in for a few repairs....the sensors on this engine have made my crazy...had then replaced and that seemed to fix most of the idiot light issues...now the steering pump or hoses need replacing. My first experience with an Infiniti and it will not be my last....the car is great on the highway as well as around town...just she is a bit thirty on her need for Super unleaded gasoline and in Los Angeles County that comes to about $4 per gallon. All in all, a good car and I am happy with it!!!

You will have issues with this car... I bought a 2002 with very low miles, 45k, for $8,900. Interior is awsme, it's fast, pretty comfortable. BUT.. engine mounts, seat jams, doors don't close well, turning radius, cruise control goes, and now the dreaded A/T light with transmission slip. Looked online, goods news, might not be AT, but sensors (was a recall). Either way, $$.

I always read consumer reviews before buying a car and now I feel obliged to return the favor. I own this car for past 6 yrs, now have 100k on it. Still no complaints. Car looks great, enough room for a 6 footer. Nice quality leather and Bose system is crisp. I get about 20-22 mpg for city/hwy which is not bad for a car this size that is also very fast. Quality build, never had to spend a dime on it except for regular maintenance. After passing 90k I sometimes see the check engine light, but it goes away after a couple of days. These cars cost a bit more initially, but pay for themselves in the long run. I plan to keep it for another 3-4 years.

I bought car in Nov 2001, now 110,000 miles; biggest problem was a radiator leak that I postponed fixing, which later caused major engine problems (huge expense). 3 engine mounts replaced. New radiator and radiator fan. New catalytic converter (there are 3). Note that it is better to just wait and see if engine light goes off after a while, because diagnostics have brought up a range of repair suggestion every time- from catalytic converters to oxygen sensors-(now light is off). Highway driving is smooth. Passenger side seat motor broke but is in good position. Gas mileage not bad. Overall happy with this car.

Nothing but the good stuff! This is an amazing car. Great Bose System, 6 Disc CD, Leather. I've had the car over 2 years and put ~30K on it. I drove to and around Disney World over 1000 miles on 3 fill ups. 36 MPG. The secret for this and every car is to drive 55 MPH everywhere you go. Spread the word this car is the real deal!

Purchased this car with 80,000 miles on it and odometer now reads 111,500. Since that time, check engine light came on, needed to replace radiator (it cracked), temperature gauge (it broke), left rear brake caliper (it seized). Suspension is the worst, pretty much intolerable. The engine has the most obnoxious clunking I have ever heard. Was recently told the muffler and catalytic converter will need to be replaced asap as these do not pass inspection. This car is a money pit when it comes to gas and repairs and the performance is disgraceful for the infiniti name. Will be purchasing a Honda/Acura and will never consider a Nissan/infiniti in the future.

This is just my experience with this car. I bought the car with 128k, few cosmetic issues but over all seemed like a pretty nice ride. The second day after purchasing the car it would not start, had it towed to the dealer and they told me i needed to replace some battery harness cable, starter, alternator, and a few more items, honestly cant remember them all. After all that the car never went more than 2 weeks without the engine light coming on. Blew 2 ignition coils, catalytic converter, a few sensors. Car had many oil leaks. The car is very expensive to maintain with high miles. Spent roughly $2500 in repairs over the course of a year. But some how you manage to overlook all the faults the car had, because you love this car. Yes it broke down all the time and costs you a lot of money to maintain, but when you drive this car you feel like a million bucks, even with the paint fading, and the bumper falling off, the light smoke slipping out of the cracks of the hood, the duck tap covering the huge rips in the leather. It just all depends on whats important to you...

As a person who worked in the automotive industry, I was always impressed with Nissans value for the money spent. When time came to purchase a vehicle for my wife I chose the 2002 Infiniti I-35 Sport. In the 12 years we've owned this vehicle I have put over $6000.00 in repairs in only 150,000 miles. Replaced rear brake calipers three times due to faulty design. Cam-shaft sensors twice, MAF sensor, numerous vacuum lines due to splitting, leather interior stitching came apart. Moonroof motor, and alternator.Car spent more time in shops then serving the family, and I now have sworn off Nissan , though I own a 72 datsun 240 and a 1991 300zx. Very poor choice of vehicle.

I leased this car in October 2001; for 4 years it was great except for the 2 or 3 recalls. Bought it in '05; 1 month later, it all started falling apart. It now has 99,000 miles on it and I have put so much money into it it's not even funny. Spark plugs, hoses costing $700, O2s, transmission, motor mounts (twice), struts, CD player doesn't work (55,000 miles ago), sun roof opens at will and now it decided not to close. It sounds like there's a window open in the car all the time. If you put too much base on the radio the rear view mirror shakes to the beat (WOW!); that happened from the beginning. Oil leaks. Not to mention all the dings and dents on the front/back doors! Wanna buy it?

I bought the 2002 I-35 in 2012 with 45k for $9k. It was pristine. In 2 years I put another 45k (I know, a lot). It fell apart. I traded it in for $2k and lost my shirt (almost $6k!). Problems were engine mounts, emissions, struts, power steering pump, etc. It's interesting because they are the only luxury cars under 80k going for <$5k and they look awesome, but I think there's a reason for the cheap price. It's a shame because the interior/exterior is nice, but it's basically a Maxima underneath and Nissan, well it's not a Toyo/Honda..

You will find these cars with a low price, too good to be true? Yup. I bought my 2002 I-35 in 2013 with 45,000 miles for $9,000. It was immaculate. I put a bunch of miles (40,000) and in 2 years it started to fall apart. Dealer gave me $2,000 because it had every recall issue and some. Motor mounts, seatbelt stick, power seat failure, o2 sensor, and when the pump failed, I said forget it. I drive 20,000 miles per year. I owed $7,000, so I lost $5,000 and vowed to never buy a Nissan product again.

I purchased this 2002 I35 when it was five yrs old with only 32000 miles on it. I have owned three other nissans always thought they were great cars but not his one. After two years the exhaust system broke, heater motor sounds like the bearings are bad, check engine lite was on until I tapped on the sensor and the Bose sound system blows. Can't wait to sell it.

This car provides great value for the money. I test drove quite a few competitors: Lexus ES300 - weird interior, Camry-type feel, weak engine; Acura TL - cramped but well designed interior, sleek look, decent power, but car dealers insist on MSRP, sometimes asking higher prices for certain in-demand colors/options, which I find unethical; Audi A4 - excellent interior, but the smallest of those tested, nice power, very ugly rear end, easily the most expensive car tested, great engine. After working through these cars, I kept coming back to the I35 for it's combination of power, luxury, and value.

I bought my I35 last year and I have put 25k on it so far. Other than the regular maintenance only other thing I did for it is the rad replacement. Overall I've had a good experience with it, other than the known problems such as turning radius and fuel efficiency, Infiniti has done a good job. Very spacious room front and back. Too much similarity in interior parts with Maxima and Altima, is this supposed to be a luxury sedan. Sound system really stinks!

This is a great car. I had this car for about 3 yrs now and I only had some minor problems considering that I have 130000 miles on it. Gas mileage is pretty good. With 255 hp it is extremely fast. Very well built and looks nice. Infiniti is a great car and I think they should make an I45, I know it's going to be a beast.

Hi everyone, I have been driving my Infiniti I35 for 6 months now. Today I decided that I have good enough knowledge about the car. So now I can write a good review supported with real facts. 1. Handling - The car handles very well and it is also very secure. In high speeds feels very stable and the stability control system works very good. 2. Power (255hp) - When I press the gas pedal the car accelerates very quickly. The engine is one of the 10 best engines ever made. It also goes to NISSAN 350Z, no need for more comments. 3. Interior quality and design - The seats are not the best I've seen but they are good enough. The interior is very nice and the sound is great.

This car hasn't impressive quality that Infiniti has been advertizing. I have driven for one year, and had so many problems with several rattles, wind noise, cocked steering wheel, out- of-round tires, bad compass,and even bad dealership services. We are thinking about selling this mess off.

i bought my used car with 150,000 miles on it. it is now august, a year later with 22,000 more miles on it. I've had to buy a new alternator, my seat wouldnt move back and forth for about a month or two, my window is stuck - the battery went out the motor, my breaks went out on me, my motor mounts are failing, my ignition coil is bad, and i have a oil leak. the car drives nice when it wants to, but i dont recommend it to anyone for a first car. oh, i forgot to mention i had to buy a new battery as well...all within a year. dont buy nissan products. had i known this car was going to give me all this trouble, i would not have bought it and left it at the dealership.

2002 Infiniti I35 4 door sedan brought April 2013

Worse car I have ever owned. Unreliable and a piece of junk. $6900 paper weight. This car was purchased from a used car lot in the Atlanta - Stone Mountain GA area. The lot had good buyer reviews. Which was likely my mistake in purchasing a 2nd hand car. The car has had multiple electrical, gas, sun roof, heating and cooling problems. With 121,000 miles, I knew it wouldn't be perfect. We had to buy motor mounts, due to a vibration in the car, the car has stalled out numerous times and been towed 3 times in the last 6 months, which included smoke coming from the engine 3 times. Window problems, and more. Have spent $1500 for repairs on top of the $5400 price of the car.

build quality is excellent. Close the doors you will see. Turning radius is wide. We have the sport package the ride is stiff (still ok). Engine is super strong. Gas mileage is very good. I was told to expect 26mpg but got 31.5 on a long trip (highway miles on cruise no a/c on). We get mid twenties in town. We got the chrome wheels. They draw many positive comments and will turn heads. We had the wood package installed. It was better than the standard dash look. We went to the auto show and looked at everything. We liked the Lexus, Mercedes and Lincoln, but for the money the I is tops

This is my 3rd Infiniti "I" series car...which says... I really like this car. It's comfortable, stylish, and has many good features (such as the speakers, CD player, home security, etc.). I never worry about reliability, I never lift the hood and service is great (Saturday service and a loaner). This year I shopped particularly hard and long... looking at the comparables...and, still feel I got the best deal.

Not a fancy Maxima

Just picked up my I35 and love it! I also looked at Lexus ES300, BMW 5 series and Volvo S80--the I35 is definitely the best value, and 5-10K less than the others I tried. I had several Maximas before this, and have always enjoyed them, but needed a change. I've heard the term "it's a fancy Maxima", but it is not. The I35 is more in the luxury class, while Maxima is sporty--both extremely reliable!

Very Happy with I35

I love this car. The key word is value. It costs thousands more to obtain equivalent comfort, performance, and quality in other models. I cannot believe how responsive the gas pedal is. The ride is very smooth and quiet, yet you're always aware of the horsepower. Some wonder if it's a glorified Maxima. Like others, I found that it's poorer Nissan cousin would have been nearly as expensive given my desired configuration. I was sold after considering the nicer interior, the higher manufacturing standards, the superb stereo, thicker window glass, and the Infinity warranty and roadside assistance program.

I am enjoying the car and like the car overall for it's quality, performance and features, but the ride is harsh over bumps and you feel road grain.

Just purchased my first Infiniti. Extremely happy with my purchase and I think it's one of the best values on the road. We were previously looking at Mercedes, BMW & Lexus but when I compared the value of the Infiniti my wife and I were sold immediately. We were treated very well by Brian Clifft at Infiniti of Orlando/

THE CAR RIDES BEAUTIFULLY. HAS GREAT PICK-UP, A LITTLE TOO POWERFUL FOR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. ENGINE EXTREMELY QUIET. OVERALL, A GREAT DRIVING EXPERIENCE FOR A NEAR LUXURY AUTO. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

I love the features of the car. I have had a few problems with the bridgestone tires and the alignment being out. These problems showed up as pulling and excessive chatter in the front end while driving.
