I like to run cars until they die before I purchase a new car. But this car won't die! And when I do get a new car, I will miss the smooth steering, tight turn radius and responsive acceleration. The negatives: 1) the tape deck never worked, and now the entire sound system sometimes goes off and the controls become unresponsive. 2) I used to go through the brakes like butter, and replacement was an expensive proposition, with new pads and rotors every ~15k miles even with a lot of highway driving. Infiniti finally addressed this problem and brakes last much longer - and still stop the car. 3) Replacement parts are expensive, maybe because infiniti cars share parts in order to reduce manufacturing costs. This results in incredibly expensive repairs - for instance, my elevated, central brake light just went out, and the cost of replacement was $500! For a brake light! It turns out that the part itself costs about $250. The positives, which outweigh the negatives by a lot: 1) the car rides and handles as if it were new. People are surprised that the car is over 11 years old. I'M surprised that the car is over 11 years old. 2) Infiniti replacement parts are well-made. I only had to replace the muffler assemblies once. 3) The car is very reliable. It has never been out of service for any length of time for mechanical reasons. 4) Great acceleration - terrific for merging!

I have owned this car for over a year out. My G35 coupe has an intake system, exhaust, and racing chip and it roars. The acceleration is absolutely phenomenal. It takes curbs decently well but people look at it all the time, back in its day it was in a show. The performance is just outstanding and the noise is perfectly divided between the engine and exhaust. I am also 6' 2" and my seat is always all the way back but I am always very comfortable. The bucket seats snug you in nicely and the steering wheel has all the right padding you need. Now to the bad. The brakes are a joke, you have to get aftermarket brakes with this, unless you have the brembos. The stock brakes are an absolute shame for such a vehicle, they are not that great. They are too weak. Thank the lord I have a good mechanic because I would be a lot more broke if not due to the mechanical issues. Probably because its getting old but its getting expensive. The transmission bumps a lot when its cold out before it warms up and there is a click when I shift between park reverse ect. That is concerning. Overall I would definitely buy this car again! Side note: I bought this car 11/28/2014 with 80,000 miles on it

I enjoyed this car for many years. It has great handling, acceleration & braking. I have really only one complaint with the design, the doors have a tendency to not stay open when getting in or out and. Fuel economy is fine for what it is. Little repair work or maintenance required over the 10 years I have owned it.

Awesome Car!

4 vehicles in the household, BMW, Infiniti QX4, and 2 G35's - an '03 and '04. Have had many other brands. We have kept our G35's all these years as they are a wonderful blend of performance, appearance, and luxury appointments supported by an outstandingly reliable and safe, fun to drive sporty car with usable back seat and cargo/trunk. The only problems - ever - are minor electrical over 9 and 10 years. Door lock actuators on both cars failed ($150 ea) and radio/climate control head repair ($400) on the '04. Both vehicles have about 70k miles garaged but driven year round including rough Canadian winters. Simply unbeatable combination of value, quality, reliability, luxury and fun.

This was my very first car, and after about half a year of research I bought one used in October of 2010. From everything I read, this car seemed to have the best balance of performance, practicality, reliability, and style. Although this car has many irritating problems such as poor build quality and horrific gas milage (around 15), I still love it and take care of it like a baby.

Definitely a Love/Hate Relationship!

I purchased my a 2004 G35 back in 2008 from Carmax with 39K Miles on it. Because it was a "luxury" car I decided to put the warranty on it and thank GOD I did. The car had to go in the shop every three months for something and no matter what I took it to the shop for, Infiniti charged $500 to get it back. The brakes are a nightmare, along with the rotors and pistons! I really loved this car but the maintenance was just too much, I feel like the car was in the shop more than I was able to actually drive it, though when it wasn't in the shop and running smoothly, it was quite a sweet ride.

G35 purchased new. 75K mile evaluation.

I love this car even though it's expensive to keep on the road. This model eats tires and brakes. I've been through 5 sets of tires and 3 sets of brakes, and one battery. Car has been dependable and trouble free since new. I just solved one of my biggest complaints 'gas milage'. Through performance tweaking I have increased my overall mpg from 19.2 to 21.27. Prior to modifications best highway mpg was 22.3. I recently completed a 2600 mile trip and top mpg was 25.5 and overall average for the trip was 24.31. The side benefit of the modifications has been more responsive acceleration.

Very good cars! (but not quite perfect)

I own two G35s. A 2003 sedan and a 2004 coupe - both automatics. Review is for the coupe. Overall great cars. I'm constantly finding excuses to drive it because it's so fun. I prefer the couple over the sedan - the sedan is more roomy and a bit more comfortable, but the coupe is more sexy, sporty, and youthful looking. Styling wise, it's hard for the average person to tell it's 7-8 years old. Looks modern and sporty. Biggest difference performance-wise between the two models is the coupe is lower to the ground, and there seems to be less body roll when turning aggressively. When you sit in the couple it feels more like a race car. Not any faster than the sedan, though.

G35 Coupe - In a class by itself!

I purchased my infinity in 2007 with 35,000 miles on odometer. I purchased it because it was rated top in all catagories to include engine performance and low incidence of repair. Recently, I have had a severve problem with engine consuming oil (2 qts. per month). I contacted infinity dealer and they told me to replace both valve covers at $250 per cover. It was a 50\50 chance that it would cure the oil copnsumption problem. After $800 in parts and labor, my infinitety continues to cunsume oil. It appears that the only fix for this problem is the purchase of a new engine. The car is now out of warranty to include oringinal warranty and a 3 year extended warranty purchased in 2007. Trapped!

Beautiful car, but too many problems.

I purchased this car used. Upon review of the Infiniti Vehicle Service I found so many problems already corrected from replacing the stereo/radio, seat heater switches, seat track, rotors brakes, tire pressure sensors, and more. Once I completed the required recall I've had an airbag light issue now. My car is about 5,000 miles over warranty and Infiniti has refused to do anything to help. The first problem they told me the passenger side airbag and module needed replacing. So I paid the $785 to fix. Not a week after getting the car back, it comes on again. Now they've told me they need to replace the driver's side airbag at another $785. Then they can't even guarantee this will fix it.

160,000 miles and still going strong

My two cents worth since I drive 100 miles a day. Gas mileage around 22-23 mph. Easily rides well at 80 mph. My wife got ticket cause she didn't realize she was going 90 mph while listening to AC-DC on excellent sound system. Fun sports car overall. I plan to drive it another 100,000 miles, which I believe is possible. Brakes have given me most problems, requiring more replacement then other vehicles. Passenger window doesn't roll down, which is aggravating. I'll get it fixed one of these days (cost about $400).

Funnest and sexiest car I've ever driven. However, the price you pay is 13-15 MPG, and I don't drive heavy- footed at all. My drive to work is 2/3 highway and 1/3 surface roads, and I can barely squeeze 220 miles out of a 15 gallon tank of premium unleaded. I wonder if anyone else gets similar gas mileage... way below the vehicle's rating of 17 city/27 hwy MPG.

Great car, very reliable.I have had it for almost a year and loved it. Though at times you may hate..like during the snow and when your low on cash and premium gas is 3.50/gal. I have only had to rotate the tires and that's it. I also change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.Plus its a chick magnet :)

I absolutely love my G! I have had it for two and a half years now and still have so much fun driving it. We have not had any problems with it other than recently the driver's window stopped working for a day, but now it is working again. I've had Nissans in the past and that tends to be a bit of an issue with them. We do most of the maintaining of it ourselves and it's not expensive to keep up with. We have had many adults in the backseat also and as long as you don't hit bumps too hard to where their head hits the glass, it's not too bad. Been on many road trips in it and get decent gas mileage and have a blast passing people on 2 lane roads! All in all I love it!

Driving this car is absolutely amazing, I have the 2004 g35 coupe and it is great. There is only a few imperfections, one there is some cheap plastics on the interior, the leather on my seat ripped by the side, which seems to happen on MANY coupes. However, the power-train is amazing, the engine as well. Its not 100 percent reliable, but much better than American coupes, and German coupes as well, this car is for someone who wants performance, reliability, luxury, and too have fun while driving it. It is not very practical though. It is for two people and occasionally can seat 4 depending on their height. otherwise great car and WAY better ride and interior than the Z car.

This is a great car--truly a 350Z with 4 seats. The VQ v6 is a strong engine--feels like a v8--so the car is fast. Not so much on the refinement end. Last car was a BMW 330ci (coupe), and while it was a half tick slower, it was more refined: better ride, fewer squeaks and rattles, etc. Truly the G35 is a 4-seat Z or a poor- man's BMW. But great car for all that!

The 2004 Infiniti G35X with AWD offers tight steering and a relatively smooth ride, a combo that is often hard to come by. The pickup is also somewhat impressive. The seats are comfortable and supportive, though not quite large enough in the front. The trunk space is not adequate and the BOSE CD stereo is not what one should expect. Also, the AC and Seat warmers are not up to par

I absolutely love this car. Very powerful and smooth, comfy ride. Great handling. I get tons of compliments on the looks. I actually like the design of this model better than the g37 coupe that's out now. I really feel that they took away the aggressiveness out of the exterior design and made it more docile looking like the Lexus sc. The exhaust tone puts a smile on my face each time I start the car. The seats are very comfortable and hold you in place well in the twisties (and you will love the twisties) this car really is in a league of its own as far as price goes and what you get for your money.

I bought this car and almost traded in my IS 300. i'm glad I didn't. The G coupe is fun in the manual but the brembo brakes wear quickly and the tire noise is unbelievable. I'm thankful for the Bose for that one fact. Sometimes I love this car, other times it drives me nuts. Oh, the clutch wore out at 53K - of course the Atlanta traffic doesn't help things.

I have had my G since November 2006. I traded in a 2005 Altima and the G had fewer miles and was fully loaded. payments were reduced and insurance remained about the same. I have to say, it's a fun car and the only thing that annoys me is I have to get brake work done more frequently than any other car I have owned. I purchased with 40,000 and now have 130,000 miles and have had brakes done 4 times now. I will consider a newer g but I hope the brake issue has been solved. Infiniti g is a sports sedan and so I realize that the higher performance parts do cost more and may require more replacements, overall I enjoy the vehicle as it's been the most fun car I have owned.

Toyota isn't the only car that has experienced unintended acceleration problems. I just had the same thing happen in my 2004 Infiniti G35. I was sitting at a dead stop with my foot on the brake when my car suddenly took off full speed ahead. It hit the car sitting several feet in front of me. I hit so hard that the damage to my Infiniti exceeded $7800. Don't know at this point if Infiniti ever did a recall on these models. I would love to know who else has experienced this problem and what repairs need to be done to correct the issue.

My Infiniti G35x is the best car I have ever owned. I used to be a Turbo Volvo owner until I took out the Infiniti for a test drive. When I got back I bought the car! I have had it for 4 years and still love the car. It is very quick and responsive. I find it very, very comfortable (as do my passengers). The cost to own it is reasonable although it only get 20 mpg no matter how aggressive or easy I drive. I will always be an Infiniti owner....That should say it all!

This is my weekend / fun car. The car as is was fast but the suspension was a bit too "boaty", but getting stiffer swaybars cured that. Had 1 rattle that was fixed during warranty during 1st year. Other than that, I have good luck with mine. It's such a good looking car too. Yes, suspension is stiff, but it's a sports coupe dang it! :) Rear seats best for kids.

People ask me why I bought an "expensive" car - my answer is that, over 5 years, it's probably cost me less than whatever they're driving. 140K miles, NOTHING to fix. Oil, brakes, tires - that's it. Runs, looks, feels almost like new. Big power, room, a blast to drive. Quality costs less in the long run.

I really love the drive and reliability of this car. It's a pleasure to drive and look at. You will not be disappointed. Very reasonable maintenance if not done at the dealership. You just basically change the oil and cabin air filter every 3,750 miles. You owe it to yourself to own one of these cars.

Let me start by saying I love the look, feel and performance of this car. But that's where it ends. I have had problem after problem after problem with this car. Here's the list - power locks, speakers, CD changer, navigation system, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, brakes, brake calipers...and that's just what was replaced! They can't figure out why I get noise from my moonroof and water on the floor when it rains hard or the ticking from my dash when I step on the brakes on a hot day. As much as I love to drive this car...I can't wait to get rid of it. I have owned three Chevy's, a Pontiac and a Mazda before this. All of them COMBINED did not have this many problems! Hopefully it's a more reliable car now that it's six model years later. After all of the problems I've had with the car as well as dealing with Infiniti themselves, I will NEVER purchase another Infiniti or Nissan product.

I bought my 2004 RWD 6-speed manual G35 sedan in 2006. Almost 3 years and 30K miles later, it's still a really fun car to drive. Quick enough to handle most traffic situations. Luxurious enough and very comfortable; love the feel of the steering wheel. No major problems--took it to dealer under warranty for minor annoyances. Clutch is a little heavy; dealer always suggests replacing the clutch, but if it doesn't slip, it's fine--75K miles so far on original clutch. Put on winter tires and it will handle winter with ease.

This car was purchased by me as the 3rd owner at about 74k and had rotors and pads replaced at the dealer, only 7k later they were shot and I'm not an aggressive driver either, it just eats breaks very quickly and they are very "touchy" as well as the gas pedal. The transmission jerks into 2nd gear a lot, and definitely wouldn't recommend using the autoshifter because you will tear up your transmission very quickly, and it's pricey to replace. The car has a cheap feel to all the plastic pieces of the interior. Overall it drives smooth but is ridiculously bumpy on the slightest cracks in pavement. The car is fast but awful on gas, maybe 20MPG, I get 290 miles per tank at most, use 89oct not 93oct.

Bought this car for $13,500 Cdn with 85K kms on it. Took it immediately to a recommended aftermarket performance shop and dropped another $3000 for a new clutch, tune up, air intake, exhaust, fluids, etc. My opinion of this vehicle mirrors the majority of the comments. It's fast, luxurious, and reliable - but it's best feature by far is its value. BMW, Lexus, & Audi simply can't touch this car for the same price. Although I have a few performance goodies on it, I still surprise many vehicles costing a whole lot more. As a used car value, the G35 is definitely one of the best out there. Is it as good as the German cars - maybe you should ask the BMW drivers who look at my tail lights.

My G35 exceeds expectations in interior exterior styling and has good performance to boot, but the brakes are not good. This is a hidden expense. You will need to replace the brakes and rotors every year at $1,000 a pop. Make sure you think about this before buying. I also had to replace my alternator after two years, although I didn't pay for it because it was under warranty. I'd suggest getting a BMW if you want a stylish, performance car that is more reliable.

Brought this car brand new. Seems smallish inside but very roomy even for me at 6'2". With only 41k miles we are on our second set of brakes... luckily they were covered under warranty. Very dependable only two trips to the dealership for the brakes. I would buy another G35 in a heart beat!!!

When I bought the car 6 months ago it only had 28000 miles on it and was still under warranty. I had originally been looking at 05 Acura TL, but once I test drove this car, I had to have it. My G35x handles, accelerates, brakes, and handles, great. The leather interior and Bose sound system are sufficiently luxurious. The vehicle also gets a respectable 28 mpg highway in Western PA where no roads are flat or straight. The unique styling of the Infiniti is a head turner. I'm constantly getting compliments on the vehicle.

Purchased new, and have to say this is an incredible car. Still have the original Brembo pads. I've modified the suspension with Eibach Pro springs, and have added a few goodies like a Vortech Supercharger. Pushing 390 rwhp, and car runs great. This car is a head turner, and I have had many people telling me how great it looks. Comfortable highway car, handles great, and still gets 23 mpg highway with all that horse power.

I purchased this car new in March of 2004, trading in a 2000 Infiniti G20t. I love the increased power of this car, and handling is very good. The AWD does well in Midwest winters. I have, however, had the front brakes replaced three times (only at 53,000 miles now), and the 6-disc CD changer completely died around 30,000 miles (replaced under warranty, thank goodness, as it would have cost over $650). I also REALLY wish Infiniti would offer the AWD version with the manual transmission that is available in the RWD version of this car. Performance is still good though, even with an auto transmission.

I bought this car to replace my Jetta 1.8T that had tons of problems. I drive a lot for work (about 100 miles per day) so I've spent a lot of time driving this car. The car is very comfortable and has a nice handling/ride balance. I personally would like it to be a bit less resistant to body roll but it's much sportier than most of what's available. Brakes are pretty strong as well. The 3.5L V6 has plenty of power, and has a nice sound to boot. There are some nice touches throughout the car: the adjustable instrument panel, the reclining rear seats, dual-zone climate control, etc. The backseat is much larger than it looks. I bought it because I thought it presented a great value.

My G35 has only 47,000 on it and is using 1 1/2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. My dealer states that this is acceptable and that it is normal to have to add oil between changes. ( I change oil every 3000 miles). This is unacceptable for a car that is this expensive. They have refused to address this problem even though warranty is still in effect. Oil light never comes on. The rack and pinion steering has had a leak and is having to be replaced.

I loved the car in '04 and I still do now. In terms of the styling this car is the watermark - they messed up the lines of car with the styling revision of the grill and lights in '05 and the current model just doesn't inspire the head turning that this one had. Reliability - excellent. The only out of pocket expenses was for brakes. Handling is real tight and this car is plenty fast. The additional hp of the later year models doesn't help the mpgs. If they make this model again - with the brake dust issue addressed and the inclusion of larger seats found in the current model... please sign me up for a new one!

Bought my G35 with 25000 miles on it fell in love with its styling. Took a test drive at the dealer and noticed a problem with the rotors, big time noise as the car move forward, the faster it went, the louder it got. Told the sales guy to replace the rotors and they did. I then decided to put 20 inch rims on it - WOW! It looks incredible. People just stop and stare 3000 miles later my rotors went south on me. Another thing is the gas mileage is horrible. If you're a lead foot then I hope you have deep pockets. Remember it only takes 93 octanr and at $4.10 a gallon OUCH!

Excellent driver's car especially with the MT. Gas mileage was good 25 mpg with mixed driving. I knew what to expect when purchasing: the G is a performance sedan with a fair touch of luxury, but emphasis is on performance. If you're looking for granny luxury, look elsewhere, the G is meant for drivers.

So I bought a used 04 coupe w/optional 5AT. So far I've loved every part of it, it's very fun to drive, very easy to modify if your into those type of things, very pleasing to the eyes. A few problems I have found with the car are that I have two problems with the windows, one has a lazy motor and one has a cliping problems, sometimes when I close the passenger door the window rolls halfway down a second later (sometimes I don't notice). Other problems I have had are minor (seat height control stoped working). But over all I love this car, very fast, kinda bad on gas but that's what you get for how much power you get. I am very happy with my G!

I traded in my 2004 Altima after walking onto a dealership. The G kept calling me Drive Me! Drive Me!!! I test drove and came home with it. I tap on the accelerator and I am off!!! I like using the manual mode because it seems to jumps off quicker. Yeah! I am a big guy and it is very comfortable. If you expect good gas mileage from sports car then you are delusional. This car is straight up Fun to drive. For the value it is great. You spend way more for a BMW and you don't get cd changer nor leather nor the power unless you get an M series or a 5. This is the ride if you want to have fun and be comfortable.

I have had it in the shop almost once a month. Maybe it is just a lemon. The car just rolled over 94,000 miles and I am trading it in tomorrow. YAY! I owned a 2000 lexus gs400 before this car, and the lexus blew this out of the water.

I've had my G35 for exactly a year now. It has been an absolute blast to drive (straight line it might not be the fastest, but cornering and grip with some summer tires on it and its second to none). Unfortunately, I've put almost 20000 miles on it and the way gas is going that part has not been fun. If Premium ever hits 4.00 in NJ i think i'll be forced to trade it in seeing as that I'm only getting about 20- 21 MPG lately. But if you want a great ride and to push your car to the limits, this is the car you want

I bought my car used and I have researched everything and anything about the G35x. It is a great car. Smooth, quiet, fun to drive. The AWD is amazing in the winter weather. Once equipped with winter tires and rims instead of All Season tires this car will be a beast through the snow and ice. As expected it is hard on gas. Again I looked into the fuel efficiency before hand.

This is the best car I’ve ever owned. It is a sports car so don’t expect it to be a plush, cushy ride. Tires are noisy but to be expected from performance tires. If you are looking for a luxury car look elsewhere. If you are looking for a performance/luxury car look no further. The car is extremely fun to drive especially around the curves. Clutch takes some time to get used to. Brembo brakes do not have the wear issues that the standard brakes do. DIY maintenance is relatively easy.

So far so good one year into ownership of my 2004 G35 Sedan. This is truly a "sports" sedan, very fun to drive with a lot of get up and go. The car is roomy enough for four adults to travel comfortably, the rear seat room is plenty big. Very rigid frame, solid feeling on the road. I love the styling and performance of the car, very pleased with it. Purchased used with 37k miles and it has not disappointed. Negatives would be the a/c and heat controls are confusing, front seat could be a bit more comfortable. This is not a soft luxury ride, my sport suspension package is very much a drivers car. The engine is a bit loud but that is the nature of this car - sports sedan.

I bought this car the year it came out. I rarely do daily driving but I take many road trips. I love this car! I've driven all across the country by myself and with 4 friends. Every time I get in this car for a road trip the passenger will hear "I love this car." The gas mileage could be better but it's much better than an Audi or BMW 4-wheel drive. Honestly, no complaints. I love it. It took me 2 years to choose a car and now I know why. This car didn't exist! And the new version isn't as good... too much luxury, not enough sport.

I bought this car solely because of how Motor Trend rated it as Car of the Year. The car is very fast, but the tire road noise from the stock Michelin tires is loud and roaring. The paint chips/scratches easy. We only put about 18K on the car already since new and had to replace the front brakes already. Considering selling it and going with a BMW or Mercedes, not at all what I expected from Infiniti. The auto transmission occasionally shifts very hard, had it checked by the dealer, but they could not repeat the problem. The garage door opener paint is fading off. The back seats are not for adults, no head room.

We just got our 2004 G35 a month ago and so far love it. We are averaging 25 mpg highway and city combo. It handles great! The interior is flashy and very comfortable. There are way more storage areas then one needs, which is a good thing. The pick up is perfect and I can easily pass people on the hwy when needed. The rear seats recline a little and 2 cup holders in the rear center console allow the rear passengers to ride in comfort. I know it has only been a month and I will continue to update as time goes by.

I traded in a 2005 Nissan Altima for a 2004 Infiniti G35x, and paid the same price for a much better vehicle. It has all the toys such as the snow package, DVD, Bose, etc. (fully loaded) and feel I have a MUCH better vehicle than the Altima. I still grin when I jump in and the AWD is perfect for Wisconsin winters. I feel safer with the safety features and a 4 door sedan is perfect for a family of 3 (daughter in back seat). All in all, the best vehicle I had ever owned, and I have owned toyotas, GMs, Jeeps, and a 1998 BMW 3 series. Can't wait to get my hands on a 2007 or 2008 G sedan in a few years. Way to go Infiniti/Nissan!

My husband bought me a 2004 G35 coupe new for our 20th anniversary. Everyone loves this car. It goes through tires and brakes a lot (I'm not a terribly aggressive driver) but the warranty is unbeatable. All 4 drivers at our home love to drive it.

The Problems

I want to first say that this is a great car that's very comfortable for the driver and quick as well. The problems are the front tires seem to wear on the insides. I'm going on my fourth set of tires in the front with 34,000 miles. Since the rear wheels and tires are larger than the fronts you can't rotate at all. The tires make excessive road noise when they wear in this manner. My second complaint is gas mileage. I average 15 miles per gallon and have for three years with this car. I'm an adult and while I drive sort of fast I'm far from a speed demon. Lastly is the turning radius. It's very large and almost impossible to turn around in on a side street. Other than that a great car

For the first 2 months, it's fun to drive. Then the nightmare begins. There's always some noise here & there. The dealership couldn't fix the problem. When the mileage goes to around 12,000, every time I drive the car, I feel like I was riding in a train. My husband & I basically can't talk while driving because of the great noise. Then there's the driver's seat track. Around 20,000, we had problems adjusting it. Thank God it's still under warranty,and the dealer changed it for us. Overall, after having an Accord, BMW, Subaru. Believe me, I'm glad it's time to return the car. Because it's the NOISIEST car I have ever had. jjmess

I thought I had done my research when purchasing a used Coupe. You should go to the users forums for the best information - I didn't and paid a hefty price. The G35 is an entry level Infiniti. It has poor interior materials that damage easily and it rattles like a spray paint can. It was also in the shop for some fairly substantial warranty repairs and the dealer damaged interior parts. A "Regional Manager" rode with me once and said he couldn't fix all of the rattles so get used to them. The rattles and squeaks were bad enough to make me get rid of the car for a loss. If you want the same, if not better, performance get the 350Z. It's cheaper. Poor customer service! Shame on U!

This car is fun to drive, great on long trips as well as short. It also looks great and I've run across several Mercedes owners who looked at both and wished they had bought the G35 Sedan instead. You certainly don't have to worry about having enough power and acceleration for two- lane driving or Interstate maneuvering. But, it does have some maintenance issues that need to be addressed by Infiniti/Nissan relative to their brake wear. I had a Nissan Pathfinder that has brake issues, particularly front and this car eats brakes as well.

This car's performance is excellent. Three round trips to Florida from MD yielded from a MPG point of view an average of 24 miles per gallon. The ride is firm but expected from a style of this type. If a smoother ride is desired, try the sedan version. The reliability is excellent However the periodic maintenance costs are somewhat more expensive than less expensive coupes. Overall, I rate this vehicle as one of the best rides I've ever had.

On the practical side, this car retains its value better tha most.I waited for the 03-05 to drop in price when the 06's came out but they did not drop more than 1500 at most for the older models. not great when your buying used but once you own one its great to have a car that does not lose its value overnight! also you don't see yourself driving all over town like you would with the bmw's.

This car has been exceptional in almost all respects. I have had no problems with the mechanical or integrity aspects of this car.It stops "on a dime" in emergency stops (car in front stopped dead at a green light while going 40 mph.) The power is extraordinary when needed, but don't try "jack rabbit" starts on wet roads, it fishtails a bit. The seats adjust to the perfect position for me (a short female);handling is great and very responsive. This car is a true bargain for the price. Everyone who drives it says "Wow! This car is awesome", including diehard BMW, Lexus,and other car owners.It is the best car I have ever owned (280-300Z's, Supra, BMW etc.) No, I don't work for Infinity or Nissan.

The car is a ton of fun to drive. The stereo has some issues and doesn't work well in the winter. I've had to checked multiple times, but they cant seem to get it right. Brembo brakes are great, but plan on getting them changed every 30k miles (and can run upwards of $3k every time). Tires wear easily and need replacement often. Car is frightening to drive during the winter.

I traded in my Mercedes 340 CLK after experiencing one Chicago winter with it. I researched carefully and chose the G35X. I have never been disappointed! Great drive, handling, security in the snow and great sound system. I had one service problem with the Driver's seat being stuck in a lowered position when I was vacuuming, but they promptly took care of that. You would think there would be a big difference going from a Mercedes to this as far as comfort, handling, but NO! Infinity has "nailed it" and I am extremely happy even after 2 years despite some brake squealing noise and paint chipping easily. LOVE IT.

Just sold my coupe...had it for over 2 years and put 21K miles on it. Gorgeous...quick...fun to drive...but the coupe with the 6 speed is designed for people that are 'into' the car. It does carry a relatively low sales price, but the maintenance required on this automobile is similar to a 60K Mercedes. Brembo brakes...they work great..but they are expensive and wear out at around 20K miles...tires (18" rims)...expensive...and get very loud as they wear out...will last you about 15-20K miles depending on how you drive, tire pressure, etc. I always had people tell me how beautiful my car was....which made me feel good about the expenditures. Great styling....Can't wait for the 07 model

I love my G35!!! The handling and power of this vehicle is impressive. It is also very comfortable and fun to drive. The only thing I have noticed that would be a negative is the car has different rattling and buzzing noises in it. Hopefully this will be able to be fixed. This is a great car though!

I've had the car for 5 months now and it is about everything you could want in a car in this class. It's comfortable, good looking, smooth and powerful. It has a few quirks of design but any car does. It is a very solid car and has many great features. The best thing about it is the driving experience, it is quite visceral and the car just growls everywhere it goes.

I have had the car for about a month now and absolutly love it. It is a powerful machine. Almost too powerful to have in an automatic. The sound system is great and the navigation is easy to use. The only real problem is the brakes. They squeak. Usually, when you spend good money on a luxary car the brakes don't squaek. Not with this one. All in all who cars about the brake noise when the car is super fun to drive.

The most impressive thing about this car is its overall driving experience. Similar to BMWs, the steering wheel, arm rest, shifter, controls and pedals are all positioned perfectly making you feel like you're in complete control of the car. Handling is excellent and steering is tight and stable. In addition, the G35x has lots of power under the hood, despite the added weight of AWD. The car accelerates quickly and responds well in the in the 3000-5000 RPM range. Very torquey, but in a good way. If you like to speed a bit, this car owns the highway like it's on greased rails. If you're a conservative driver, the overall stability of the car should give you nice piece of mind.

The G35 is the most practical and satisfying car on the market right now. It's got decent space in the two rear seats and will accomidate a decent sized adult in the two very sporty front seats. I have the manual coupe and the car drives like a champ with a lot of seat pushing acceleration. The only negative thing I would have to say is the some of the buidl quality issues I noticed with my car. The cd player, throttle body, and the right window needed to be warranteed. But, the Infiniti Service dept. took care of those issues without hassle and also offered a free rental during the time they were being fixed. In short, great fun car and great hassle free service.

After over 2 years, I'm starting to see that the G35 can be costly to drive. I only get about 20 mpg combined w/mostly highway driving on a 6MT(below EPA estimates). I'm filling my tank about as often as I filled up my previous car that had a tank half as big and took regular UL. The rear tires were at the 2mm wear limit after only 22k mi -- tires that cost about $250/tire. The Brembo pads will probably last to almost 50k mi, but will cost three times as much as other pads. Rotor swaps will cost over a grand. Even so...the handling, acceleration, and exterior styling still bring a smile to my face. The interior lacks a bit. The NAV is difficult to use because of the jumpy joystick.

Very fun to drive, could be faster but fast enough to get you in touble. Great on corner and turns, hit the Apex and gas it and the corners of your mouth will gravitate upward. No mech. problems and gas mileage is o.k. Ride is stiff at slow speeds but comfortable on highway when it really matters. Hey its not a sedan. Orginially purchased as 3rd car,only 3300 sunny miles first 9 months, then lost company car and moved away from family, drove 8+ hours on weekends to visit wife and kids and now drive everyday to work. Performed great as both play car and everyday car. Still gets complients from valets and random people in parking lots, young and old.

I owned Maximas for 10 years prior to buying the G35. I wondered what the big deal could be between the two. What a mistake, the driving experience between the two cannot be compared. The G35 is extremely agile for a 3400 lb car. I find the interior quite pleasing, especially after looking at some 3 series BMW interiors. The VQ motor is a jewel, not real strong out of the hole but really pulls well through the rest of the RPM range. Cornering with the "midship" design platform was quite pleasing and for the first time, actually made me realize that the car would allow me to corner faster than I wanted to. I am extremely pleased with the G35 and my wife loves it too.

I bought a pre-owned 2004 G35x loaded, Nav, xenon, premium package, etc. I had it for 3 weeks before trading it in for a 2002 BMW 325xi, which is the car I should have purchased in the first place. The Infiniti got horrible gas mileage (13mpg) and within one week of purchase it needed new front brake rotors. Car has too much torque and can't get out of its own way. The car creaked and rattled. The BMW is a much better built car, fast, better gas mileage and a more sporty ride.

I got played by the dealer, so I started with a negative attitude. I had several intermittent electrical problems which were never fixed despite several trips to the dealer. For the exceptionally stiff ride and cramped quarters, it doesn't handle any better than my VW Passat. Roll down the window in the rain and get soaked, and the wipers seem to leave a constant puddle on the windshield right in front of my field of view. Fuel economy is well below claims, even if you don't get into it. Cow-catcher front end scrapes most speed bumps and driveway aprons. The rating number is actually going to come out high because of the actual rating questions do not cover any of the problem areas.

I have had this car for two summers now and have logged on 9,000 miles. It only gets out on sunny days. I find the car to be a practical sports car. It is fast, handles well, quiet interior, great creature comforts, brakes excellently, excellent MPG (21 to 25), and has enough room to comfortably take the family. I thought the car was fast until I recently drove a 2005 corvette. This car does not compete in acceleration with a vet but it is very sporty and certainly is more comfortable to drive as a regular driver than the vet. I would buy this car again but I wish the paint was better!

I recently took Infiniti to arbitration concerning faulty front brakes. I had terrible screaching. Six attempts to fix it. The case came down to a shim issue. They insisted that original shim would fix problem but that was not the case. They truly do not know what is wrong with front braking system. If they do they sure led the arbitrator and myself down a dead end street. In which case I won. They had to buy back vehicle and return ALL my money. ALL OF IT...Might not be all cars.

I bought an '04 G35 sedan after yrs w/ front drive cars (Volvo 850, Honda Acord, Acura Integra) This car has enough low end torque but is not overly quick off the line, but the rear drive is truly a hoot. Paid only $30,100 for the premium sedan, fully loaded except for AWD and Nav. You could do a lot worse than Infiniti, and this is probably their best value. I also owned a 94 G-20 sedan, and that's like comparing a peashooter to a bazooka. Buy one of these cars, you will like it.

Looks gorgeous, a hoot to drive - accidentally got the performance package, which I guess spices it up even more. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a stylish coupe in this price range - it's certainly far classier than a Beemer.

I have always longed for a MBW 3-series but when I test drove a BMW330i sedan in 2004 I balked at the price and walked away wanting a little more torque and horsepower. I am very impressed with the higher torque and horsepower of the g35's sweet V6 and the smoothness of its five-speed automatic transmission. The G35's handling and braking characteristics are at least as good as the 330i sedan and both the interior and the exterior are more attractive. Even after test drving the newly redesigned 2005 BMW sedan I still have no regrets.

After purchasing a used 17k mile G35, I have driven this car non stop for work. Overall, it is an incredibly designed vehicle matching a sporty edge with driver and passenger comforts built all in onein to one. I drove the Audi A4, BMW3 and the Infiniti. All in all the Infiniti gave the best balance PLUS the best warranty. Pound for pound the G35 is the more powerful car. Not only is it more powerful, it also handles well. Although, the BMW and Audi do give you the German sports car feel we all love, the Inifiti gives you a similar feel, better performance overall, and a much better stereo. I guess what I would like to say is more bang for your buck and better resale choose a G35.

I spent a lot of time comparing and researching cars before buying the G35 Sedan last year, and I am very dissapointed with my choice. Don't get me wrong the main reason for buying this car was drivability - and this car drives very well. However I paid $35000 (paying more to get the excellent Bose stereo), and I am amazed that the interior materials are so cheap and the build quality so poor that even with Bass at zero every song is accompanied by annoying rattles from the door panel in my left ear. I have taken the car in several times, but they don't seem to be able to fix the problem. My last car was a VW GTi which was a lot less expensive but the interior had a superior fit and finish.

This is literally the best car I've ever owned, for me anyway. And that includes Lincolns, Hondas (incl. S2000), corvette, z car. The styling gets comments every day and it's been out for 2 years, the engine is superb, I don't even miss my S2000 except for the cloth top. I don't know what other reviewers are looking for who are rating this low for gas mileage, but I routinely get 18-21 mpg, including a good bit of town driving. OK, I'd like them to move the seat switches (and add memory seats, but I understand that's a problem with a 2-door). The trunk holds my golf bag and more, much more with the rear seat folded down.

Love this car !! Have had it for 6 months and love it more each day. Got the black on black, which was the only choice for me. Timeless good looks, and as sporty as anything on the road. It's definitely an eye catcher. I always loved the styling of the 300ZX (90-96), but this one will please the eye for years to come. Acceleration is great and the torque is remarkable in all gears, but would almost have preferred a 5-speed. Range on the low end shifting is a little too short, and somewhat painful over 4,500 rpm. Also a little disappointed in the shifting; not as short or as smoothe as the reviews have suggested. Lots of tranny and clutch vibration.

For those not economically minded, perhaps a porsche or mercedes would be better, but in the lower luxury sports coupe/sedan class, this car can't be beat for the money. You'd have to step up to the M3, 5 series, or GS430 to get this kind of performance from the BMW/Lexus. GREAT LOOKS, sounds like a ferrari; best in class horsepower & torque, and seriously fun to drive. 0- 60 times in the 5 second range. If you love to drive, get the manual. Plenty of room for 4 (see below), and available with all the options for those of you that like creature comforts. Leather interior is nice. Infiniti service is top notch; free car washes for the life of the car.

I just took my car in for my 15K (13.3K actual)maintenance. Overall I still love the vehicle after one full year. More than enough power for my needs and it is still a very comfortable ride. For those following the brake issues, my front and rear brakes were at 8 mil( the delearship was very forthcoming of their 36000 mile extended warranty if the brakes needed replacement). They stated they will replace the brakes at around 2 to 3 mil left. My only significant complaint is that my car (black) is showing many paint chips. Supposedly this was caused by EPA reformulation of paint requirements but I haven't found those requirements, any help would be greatly appreciated on this one.

The G35 is an outstanding vehicle which has fullfilled all of my hopes and expectations. It's a tremendous combination of luxury and sports car performance. It has truly earned the label of a GT (grand touring) car, and with a price range of $30,000 - $37000, it also represents an exceptional value. Of course, no car is perfect, and the G does have a few minor flaws, mostly due to poor interior design choices. (See suggested improvements) However, overall the car has been terrific, and I look forward to putting several more thousands of miles on mine.
