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 today. Car drives great on the GLE suspension and the 215/55/R17 tires make for a nice mixture of ride comfort and handling. The car truly is a low end sports car with great luxury features and very good interior quality. Very little I would change about this car...will always have one.

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.

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 mph in Ohio and PA roads! (no kidding 34-35 mpg) Smoothness and reliability are the trademarks here, looks good too.

Much to be Improved Upon

Was a fantastic vehicle until it passed 60k miles. Even with continuous maintenance, it sucks gas, has serious suspension problems, eats through tires, burns oil, the transmission is going, and the muffler has rusted completely off. It now has 68,000 miles on the odometer and has eaten $5000+ in repair costs. It has also left me stranded 1000 miles from home when the TPS (throttle position sensor - once recalled) died. That out of town repair was $1000 alone.

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 quality and reliability (its a maxima in disguise). TL's and ES300's are a dime a dozen, this car was Infiniti's hidden car. Its nice to roll in a car that has a lot of everything, yet isn't seen 5 times in 1 in block. The ride is very smooth and no major issues have arrived.

This car has given me absolutely no problems in the past 6 years I've had it. Recently I was hit by some object on the freeway. The windshield withstood the impact with just a small scratch. I think I would have been in trouble had I not been in such a sturdy car. I love the performance and the reliability.

Originally leased (Sept 03) then bought the car at end of lease (a first for a lease for me). I do not recall ANY problems during the dealer maintenance period and follow on has been limited to replacement of belts and hoses which I do on a 3-year cycle. Did have a wheel bearing go out and was an unusual and unexpected repair. Even with 84K miles, computer is registering 25.5 MPG avg which has reduced from about 26.5 for the first 4 years. A great cost of ownership vehicle.

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!

Bought new in 03 for 21.5k. The car has been ultra-reliable with no significant problems at all. After 52k miles the only maint. I have had to do is change my oil+filter. I so far have never had to refill oil in between changes, my tires are in great shape, and all components still work great. I really liked the interior and the soft leather seats. The car is quiet and has a powerful engine. It's a sleeper car in that it is very nondescript, but it also has a streamlined look. The drive is not comparable to a sports sedan but that's not the point. It handles well for its size in the corners and has good balance. The steering feedback is very good as well.

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!

All i can say is wow! Purchased April 07 with 30k miles 8 months later have 56k miles. Its so smooth and refined while still being fast and fun. Only performed routine maintance. Beautiful inside & out. Great service from dealerships. This car has everything that an engineer can ask for in a car that does everything so well and refined. Gives you an adrenaline rush when driving although it's not as great as our Maxima. Surprised that it gets 26.8 MPG our Maxima gets 27.6 MPG. Will keep forever cause it runs like a champ and is truly a beast of a vehicle...both the Maxima & I35

I chose this car when I had to replace my Acura Integra with a larger "Mommy" car. I initially went for one of the new Acuras, but decided on this car after comparing prices and test driving them all more than 5 times each. This car is sooo comfortable, especially on long rides. I haven't had any major problems, but I am disappointed that the driver's seat motor went out. One thing, the turning radius is horrible!!

Great Car!!

Love the car!! I traded my 2005 Nissan SE-R Spec V for it. Had the car 8 weeks and I average around 900-1000 miles a week. The car is absolutely a dream to own and drive. I average 26 MPG. The car cruises effortlessly and has amazing power. It handles well for what it is. I miss and loved the Spec V (especially the handling and the seats) but needed and wanted something safer, more comfy and luxurious now that I am an engineer and do a lot more driving. I highly recommend Infiniti and Nissan products - this is my 5th Nissan/Infiniti product.

My unreliable E430 had to go; I wanted a reliable, fast, sedan, with a hint of luxury. I had a Maxima before the Mercedes, so I decided to try a "Luxury Maxima." Picked one up used/cheap, since they have been discontinued and are overshadowed by the G35, and have now had it 6 months. Nondescript exterior style does not draw attention to the powerful V-6 underneath. Seriously: people underestimate this car all the time - until you blow them away; the engine delivers power at all speeds. I have averaged 22 mpg in mixed driving. I have had two minor service issues, but both were covered under warranty - Roseville Infiniti has treated us well...so far: they know I want a G35 in 2008.

Couldn't be happier.

I have had this car since new (almost three years ) and it is far and away the best car I have ever owned , and I have been owning and driving cars since the mid 1960's.I still feel the same getting behind the wheel in the morning as I did when the vehicle was new. Fast, smooth, anvil tough and reliable in the most severe conditions, it is everything I want in an automobile.

I love this car. I agree with other reviewers about the turning radius - it's like driving a truck. Otherwise, it's a great car for the money. The extra features can not be found on any other car for the money. Gas mileage is so-so, but trade-off for the high HP. Have had brakes replaced, but I do mostly city driving. Had a G35 loaner (sticker $44,000) and I hated it. No extra features. This is a much better value. If you can find a used one coming off lease - BUY IT!! The G35 is aimed a t a much younger demographic. I am 48 - female.

I have now owned the I35 for over 3 years now. It has been a great car for the money. The car has 255 hp with a smoother ride than DTS. Awesome inside. The inside is layed out very nice and you feel like you are in a $40,000+ car. I paid 28,500 for mine and that included the winter package.

I bought my I35 in December 2002 and now have 45000 miles on it. Only warranty work done was a new seat motor. Great engine, great near- luxury interior, great value. Sporty (stiff) suspension. Bose radio is terrible. It is all bass, very muddy sounding. No treble whatsoever. The worst car radio I've ever heard! You will have to replace the speakers if you like listening to music. Turning radius is embarrasing. Like driving a bus in a parking lot. Overall highly recommended.

The vehicle is a good Near luxery vehicle for people who do not need a fast, spirited driving machine. The 4 speed auto is reluctant and going up hill when you bring the pedal to the floor you can feel a loss of power briefly while the tranny take sits time to downshift. the engine overall is powerfull but not what i expect in this class.

I bought this car new- buying from Infinity dealerships is a pleasure. I test drove every V6 4 door sedan out there and this car stood out. I love the big engine/exceleration- never a problem geting on an on-ramp. The interior is very roomy compared to other cars in it's class and very luxurious. In 2 years I have had no service issues- only have had to do standard maintenance.My only complaints- the turning radius sucks, and that big engine only gives me 19-20 mpg in the city (which is where most of my miles come from).

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!

A big improvement over my 1999 I30. Very powerful engine with 255hp climbs the hills with ease. Comfortable driver's seat supports the back and allows for long drives without a backache. All controls easy to use. Navigation system with voice instructions get me where I am going without having to look at paper maps. Outstanding, powerful Bose stereo with AM/FM with RDS, cassette, and 6-disc CD changer with 7 speakers (including a 9-inch Bose woofer) and automatic speed-volume control that compensates for road noise. Outstanding automatic climate control keeps interior at a comfortable temperature. HID headlights really light up the road ahead.

I took delivery of this car yesterday (with 24,000 miles) and drove it from Atlanta to New York City in 15 hours. After test driving nearly every vehicle on the market I found the I35 to fit all criteria: power, safety, reliability, comfort, look and value. While sitting in any car for 15 hours straight is painful, the I35 was a pleasure to drive. I got 29.3 mpg averaging 58 mph (traffic slowed me down). Phenominal numbers for any V6 engine. If you can find one of these, it's as good as any new car at half the price. I am now an Infiniti customer.

After researching Lexus ES300, GS300, Lincoln LS and Acura TL--as well as BMW 3-4 series---this car is the best buy for the price. Infiniti is priced 5-7K under the competition with a car that out performs the competiton. I hate spending 30+K on a car and getting a little engine--The I35 will leave everything in its class sitting still. Incidentally bargain hard and you will get this car in the 27-29K range--competitors cannot match the price! I love this car!

No regrets on buying this car. Excellent ride - awesome handling and acceleration. Great for a subdued kind of snazzy and wonderfully functional family car. Started with 11 miles; now 7000 miles after 4 months and loved every mile. Fuel economy exceeded expectations (~21 to 25 mpg). Downside: Small sunroof leak in pressurized carwash - couldn't fix but replaced under warranty/loaner for a day. No problems since. Turning radius is wide but you'll get to know it. Overall - I recommend this car.

I looked at the Lexus ES300 (not enough power), the Jag X-type (too expensive for what you got), the Acura TL-S (another Honda), and decided that for the value, the I35 was perfect. Lotsa horsepower, super interior appointments, and a great blend of luxury features. Yes, it is a Max in disguise, but I figure I paid about $2,500 more for my I35 and got outstanding dealer service, 4 year B2B warranty, the panache of the Infiniti badge, nicer leather, quieter engine, "wood" trim. I wanted front wheel drive 'cause rear wheel is a pain in the snow (I'm in the Northeast).

A Great Car to Own

After 2 Q45's decided to give my husband last one and get a smaller, sportier car for myself. I'm a realtor and drive for business...I LOVE THIS CAR. It has the same luxury of the Q, but smaller version. Comfort, style, and ease of driving and equipment. The dash is great, now telling me how many more miles I have before I need to fill up. I also adore the navigation system. In my work it is a must, and makes my life so much easier. I opted for the I35 over the lexus because of my past experiences with Infinity. It is a dependable car, great services, free car washes, and never a problem.

Awesome

I have now had my I35 for over a year and still love it. Opening it up on I95 hasn't lost its kick. Despite the sporty features, the car is quite practical. The fold down seats in the back are great for my chows. The trunk is roomy and the pass through is big enough to be useful. The leather quality is excellent and doesn't seem to wear at all.

I chose the Infiniti I35 because a friend of mine had the J30t and I really enjoyed the feel and ride of his car. Although the I35 is a lighter vehicle as well as front wheel drive, I still felt it was the best fit for me. I have been more than satisfied with the vehicle and have had nothing but a GREAT experience. The service department at the Tampa, FL location has very friendly and helpful folks. The Infiniti has been the best car I have ever owned. Thanks

This is my 4th infiniti and I have never had any mechanical problems with any of them. I lease all of my autos and for the money, infiniti offers the best value. My reasons for ownership include, free loaner car, great wanrantee, and a car that doesnt break down. All the popular options are included in the basic car. You can pay more for a car but there is no need to.

I drive a Lexus RX 300 but wanted a "run-around" sedan. I looked at Camry, Lexus,Kia, VW Passat and Hundai. None compared with the Infinity I35 when it came to cost, luxury, style, comfort and standard equipment. They are priced under what I would have expected them to be. Also have a 50,000 mile / 6 Year warranty.

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.

My I-35 reminds me of driving a big block American V-8. When you want to go faster, just put your foot down. It has plenty of luxury features but two serious flaws. The ride quality is poor and the turning radius (40 feet) makes it hard to manuver in tight spaces.

I am a Realtor and having a car that is comfortable and has plenty of space is very important. The I35 fits the mold perfectly. I drove the G35 as a loaner and the ride was much stiffer and you could feel every indention in the road. I have had many clients already tell me how nice they thought the car was and how comfortable the ride was. Hopefully they will buy some property from me.

I am very pleased with the car. I had a 4 Runner for the last 4 years and I was ready for a sedan with SOME performance. I initially thought I wanted a G35, but I think I would kill myself in that thing. Plus with all the extras I wanted, the G35 priced out about 4k higher than the I35. After a dose of reality and what I really wanted/needed, the I35 decision became clear.

This is a wonderful car. I've had it now for a little over 1 month. Acceleration is excellent with the 3.5 L V-6, FAST! The suspension is a little stiff but not overly so. Subsequently handles well, with little body roll, even without the sport suspension. Interior is very comfortable with very supple leather seats. Back is much roomier than the G35. Would buy it again!

I was a solid Nissan fan for a long time. After I've heard about their new 3.5 L engine, decided to try it on the new I35 - and never got out that car, keep driving it day in-day out - so much fun is this baby to drive... On the road, it beats the hell out of all those pricey Lexuses, BMWs, and MBs! Wish it would have less conservative exterior, though; but that's me...

The I35 drives beautifully, but is a bit noisy on the freeway. The exterior design lacks the classy look of the earlier I30 models. It is responsive, with the notable exception of the turning radius. I find the sounding of the horn at with the remote door lock to be annoying. The interior is beautiful but a misplaced finger can unwittingly change the radio or CD.

I like everything about the car. The changes I would make are pretty minor. I would match the headlights color to the fog lights. I would also add a little more zip to its performance when starting. The car seems a little slugish when starting out. I would probably check out the G35 coupe but, I like the I35 ride better.

I needed a powerful car. A comfortable car. A car to accomodate my 6'5" frame. And one with all the requisite bells and whistles. The I35 fit the bill in all respects. In the end it was a choice between the new Saab 9-3 and Infiniti (BMW 5 too small; Lexus dowdy/not my personal style; Audi A4 too small; Jaguar X-Type too expensive/bad history). I must admit the Saab was all over the I35 in terms of exterior style AND interior layout-- gotta love the info screen atop the dashboard! Alas, the Saab was lacking in power and had less "niceties", ie. no cassette??? Infiniti's overall value was, in the end, impossible to pass up.

I used to lease a J30t and LOVED it, but too high residual value and Infiniti's refusal to negotiate it forced me to go elsewhere - a Saab 9.3 turbo convertible. I'm back and probably won't leave again. It's an exceptional car, handles beautifully, feels luxurious.

I have had my I35 for a little over a month and I absolutely love it. The ride is firm but never harsh and the interior is always quiet. I got mine in black with black leather and the combination looks really menacing

Great Car

This is my 6th Nissan and there's a reason for that. If your looking for a reliable, comfortable car with a no nonsense power plant, this is the car. But if your analyzing drag coeffcients and g-force specifications perhaps you better look elsewhere. It drives great for a larger car and is well worth the couple extra bucks than the Maxima. I opted for the upgraded wood dash and find it adds tons of class to the interior of the car and the stereo will knock your socks off if you give a little juice.

Great

One of the best cars I've ever owned, maybe the best. The ride is wonderful. You feel like you are riding on a cushion of air. Turning is responsive and acceleration is superb. I've had no rattles. This is a very tight car. I would not hestitate to get another, and I've not regretted the purchase once

So far I haven't had any problems with my Infiniti I35. I feel that it was a great purchase because of all the features and benefits you get for the price that you pay.

This car is fabulous! Total affordability and luxurious too! We get many compliments on the intereior design and comfortability. The only negative is that it looks like the Maxima!

The worst ride I have ever had! At speeds between 45mph and 70mph there is a constant vibration in the front end. Manufacturer replaced 17' wheels and tires with16' wheels and new tires, it still vibrates. The kicker is that the Manufacturer said Quote " It drives better than Most!" Infiniti Technicians admit to the problem but say its acceptable! Not to me>
