Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Outstanding V6, pleasant highway ride, low price, spacious cockpit, easy-to-use controls, strong reliability record.

Cons

Too similar to the Nissan Maxima, some cut-rate interior materials, sport package gives the car a choppy ride on rough pavement.

What’s new

There aren't that many changes for the I35 this year. It gains the option of having an integrated satellite radio, and on the inside the use of wood-tone trim is expanded on the center console.

Edmunds says

Though not as luxurious as some peers, the I35 is powerful, reasonably well-equipped and a good deal -- so long as you don't mind that it's a Maxima in disguise.

Great Value

Great Value, 11/17/2010

2003 INFINITI I35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Peppy vehicle with poor turning radius. Very dependable. Only problem in 8 years has been the automatic portion of the electric windows (when you hit the switch and they go all the way up), it comes back down 4". If you close slowly it is fine. Comfortable and a great deal and value for the money. Consumer reports his listed this model as "great used car value" for many years.

A fast sleeper

2003 INFINITI I35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

This is my 2nd Infiniti, my first is a 96 I30t (still own) If this car holds up like the 1996 model I will be a satisfied customer! This is a fast highway car, passing cars has no strain or sweat associated with it. Seats are comfy everything works, stereo slams but not distorted. Fuel economy is freakishly good ( my trip computer lines up with my manual calculations 34-35 mpg going 65 …

Amazing Car!!! Will Always Drive and Keep One

2003 INFINITI I35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Although this Infiniti is my first car, I must say what a dream it has been to own. I bought this car in early 2012 with 117,000 miles on the odometer and have since put on close to 20,000 miles without a single problem. Gas mileage is very good for 134,000 miles averaging 25mpg between highway/city driving. The performance was top notch for it's time and is still a high level competitor …

Solid car for the money

Tom, 08/13/2009

2003 INFINITI I35 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this car looking for comfort, performance/sportiness, luxury/sleek elegant look and a bit of exclusivity. 12k miles into it I've found all this and then some. Among the competition, (es300/TL), I went with the i35 due to its performance (3.5L versus 3.0, 3.2), comparable gas mileage (20/26), comfort in the little things (sunshade, rear heated seats, sojourner leather), build …
