Outstanding Value
This car is truly an outstanding value. It has fantastic performance via the silky smooth 3.5 V-6. The interior is very luxurious and comfortable, containing all the amenities and the fit and finish of a car costing 10K more. I looked at the BMW 3 series, Volvo, Volkwagen Passat, Acura TL and the Infiniti G35. In the end the I35 was the most luxurious out of the bunch, had the performance I was looking for, and was an excellent value. I purchased a 2002 close out model for 30K which included the Sports Package, moonroof, heated seats, Bose 6 Disc in dash changer and more. The only other car comparable in terms of value was the Acura TL.
Best value for the money!
Had previously owned a '99 I-30 - what a wonderful car, but I had no idea how much fun and what a great driving experience could be had until I purchased my 2003 I-35 new in May '03. This is such a great car! Fun to drive - very reliable - reasonable on oil changes/maintenance costs - it has been the best value for the money of all the cars I have purchased over the last 45 years of driving experience. It reminds me of the early Nissan Maximas - a really great sports sedan! It gives so much back to the driver. Based on current offerings in the automobile markets, I'm keeping this car until the wheels drop off - at least another 10 years! And yes, it runs OK on regular gas - 26 mpg hwy!

Disappointed
I purchased this vehicle just about 5 years ago because I had heard so many great things about Infiniti. The first 3 years were good but then my oil was always running low and they could never diagnose it. Now I only have 87000 miles and the engine has failed. That is certainly not what I expected from an auto dealer with their perceived quality. Their customer satisfaction department was anything but satisfying and I will now be buying a BMW!
2003 I 35
22.5 MPG city 30 + highway. In almost 2 years have not had to have one item serviced. Dealership was so-so but love the car. Better performance than my 91 corvette and after being a loyal American car buyer now owing a car that has not had numerous problems (or even one) is fantastic. Individually I could have found cars that offered better performance, but not value size, equipment. And the better performance vehicles lacked the other qualities. Believe it or not I choose this car over the BMW 545 and it cost about 1/2 the price of the 545!
Good Bang for the buck
Unreliable, leaky sunroof, average ride, squeaky/rattley dashboard and windscreen in winters (getting it checked by the dealer), poor clock visibility at night time, average speakers for the audio
