Rock solid car, strong, reliable engine, roomy passenger compartment, power and heated everything, and has a rear window shade. Replaced the radiator recently due to cracks. Replaced the struts assemblies. New BF Goodrich Tires only have a few thousand miles wear. Have recently replaced the factory stereo with a new Kenwood (Excelsior model) CD, stereo with all inputs, jacks. All major maintenance performed at Infiniti dealership. Oil always changed every 3,500 miles. Paint is still terrific. A few dings. Interior leather has a few small tears. This is a really good value. Sold the vehicle through CarLotz Auto Consignment in Richmond, VA (West Broad St location) in early September 2016.

I just recently purchased my 2004 Infinit I35 from an elderly woman who was the only owner of the car before I got it, Amazingly it only has 17k miles on it and it apart from a few small scratches on the outside the interior looks brand new! Great to drive, very quiet, and comfortable I am just completely in love with this car and think I definately got it for a steal at 9,000!

Car has been fantastic. Over the past few thousand miles, I average 27.1 mpg. I live in CO and love the heated steering wheel and seats. Can't complain about anything. Actually trying to find a car to replace both my F150 and I35 but cannot find one that matches the combination of these two vehicles. The car just has too many features. I bought it for 10k with 49k mikes last year. There is no way you can find this reliability, these options and this mpg for under 10k...I wish they still made the I series...I hate the squished feeling of the new models.

I bought this car brand new SIX years ago! It's still running like a champ with 113,000 miles on it. (I'm an assertive driver, ok AGGRESSIVE) It's almost ready for second replacement of tires. I've only replaced 2 things, shocks/struts. (again, I don't drive like a grandmother and I live on country roads) and an engine gasket. Everything else has been regular maintenance. Drives great in snow, I've only been stuck twice in my country driveway. I don't usually keep cars this long.. I get tired of them, but I haven't found anything better for my money. Will keep for my teenage daughter to drive in a couple years. Probably the only car I would ever buy used.. if I could find one!

My Dad had this and passed away with 13K miles on it. It was his third I35. I took the car and bought it out after the lease was up. It's 2010 and I have 46,000 miles on it and it drives like the day I got it. This car has been great. It's a big cushy ride with a huge interior and trunk, a monster of a 3.6 liter engine that goes like a bat out of hell. Only con is the mileage but all of the Nissan 3.6 liter engines are beasts and don't get good mileage. Otherwise, the car has been flawless. All in all, this was Infiniti's version of a Cadillac and I expect to have it for a long time barring any unforeseen breakdowns. I guess I'll get a G37 when the interior breaks down.

I bought my 2004 Infiniti I35 in October of 2008 with 45,000 miles from an Infiniti dealer. I now have 66,000 miles on the car. I think the car has ample power although I would have liked to see more. I would expect better gas mileage, I drive mostly city and get only 17 MPG. I like the size of the car, it has plenty of room front and rear. I like the rear sunshade it keeps the car cool and gives some privacy. The Bose sound system is really nice.

This is my 4th Infiniti, and by far the nicest I've owned. The 3.5 engine has plenty of muscle for me, the car looks great, and the ride is extremely comfortable. Great sound system, excellent climate control system, the heated seats and heated steering wheel have spoiled me this past winter. Huge trunk, fold down seats make carrying my 88 key digital piano a breeze. Cruise control is smooth, radio controls on steering wheel are easy to use. These cars are so dependable and maintenance costs are reasonable. I have never taken my Infiniti to a mechanic for repairs and been shocked by the cost of the repair. This car has been a pleasure to own. what's not to like about this car?

Great car. Have had many Maxima's previously. This is even more reliable, comfortable and fun to drive than they were. No problems with it. I have put over 35,000 miles on it with only oil changes. The alloy wheels do lose air if a pot hole is hit. Other than that no complaints.

I bought this car new as the first G35 was coming out and Infiniti was phasing out the i series and the lot had the last five to choose from. This car had a lot of luxury for the money! I was skeptical about rear wheel drive car in winter of the G's and the G had a much smaller cabin and fewer standard features. No regrets! Very speedy off the line if you jump on it, We get 28/29 mpg on highway, 20 commuting around town. Comfortable over over long distances, huge trunk. Now have 74,000 miles on it, out of warranty and worried about major repairs. Looking to trade it in while I can still get $10k for it

Exceptional Value! Best Used Car To Buy!

I had recently come into a decent job and I was looking for a car to replace my 93 Pontiac Grand Prix. I found a Black 2004 w/ 101,000 I35 for 6300$. I fell in love with the car immediately, the first driving experience I had with a real car. It handles very well, drove on ice the couple times I drove, and was just shocked at how well Infiniti does with building their cars. Everyone gets to drive these cars up to 150,000 miles+. I had every intention of doing this. Unfortunately I was stopped at a red light and a kid on his phone hit me going 50 mph. Again, the car did very well and all I got was a sore couple of weeks. I would encourage anyone looking for a used car research and purchase.

Downsized from a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee which I loved but started getting old. I purchased this Infiniti about four months ago. It's a 2004 white and I bought it with 45,000 miles on it. The Bose sound is great. The car performs great with ample power. Leather is really nice along with the rear sunshade. When driving for more than a half hour back starts to hurt, maybe its because I'm a tall and used to driving an SUV. Overall really nice car.

First I would start by saying great exterior. Even compared to today's cars, this car was designed beautifully. The V6 is smooth and has great acceleration and brakes. The XM radio option is great for a 2004 car. Great interior room space especially for the back seat. Good sized trunk. Few cars to this date look as good or drive as well as this vehicle. The Infiniti's reputation is stellar.

Before buying this car I didn't know anything about Infinitis, now I don't know that I will buy anything else. The ride is so smooth, the comfort is amazing, and the features never stop pleasing. I regularly drive from New Haven, CT to Boston, MA, (about 2 hours) and I never get bored or get stiff. The climate control kicks in immediatly from cold to hot or vice versa. It accelerates quickly even at highway speeds. There is a huge trunk and plenty of rear space for normal sized people. I cannot stress enough how pleasing this car is. Go to a dealership and take one out overnight, and you will understand what I am talking about.

I purchased this car, my 3rd Infiniti, to get one of the last front drive models because I live in snow country. Compared to my 1997 I30, this car has better seats, more power and sharper handling with the 17 inch wheels. There's only one glitch so far - an irritating rattle in the dash when going over expansion strips or sharp bumps. Other than that it's clear that Infiniti seriously believes in the concept of continuous improvement. For the same money as my '97, I have a much more substantial car with more features, better quality, better safety and some serious grunt off the line. Plus you can count on it being reliable - and reliability is the truest luxury of all. This is a good car.

I purchased this car on 10-01-04. It has great pick-up. Transmission is silky smooth you can hardly feel the gears upshift or downshift. The car is very roomy inside, leather seats feel plush, and comfy. I love the lumbar support, excellent idea. Very quiet engine, low rpm torque is a dream. H- rated tires gives it a nice sporty ride. This car reminds me of the Lexus ES300, but with more horses under the hood. Great visibilty out the rear window. This car is simply a blast to drive. I test drove the 2005 Acura TL and it didn't come close to the handling of the I35.

I purchased my first I30 in Aug.95 and enjoyed it very much. I purchased my 2nd I30 traded in July 2001 and drove it 13K per year and when I heard that they weren't going to make it anymore I purchased my 3rd one traded in April 2004. This I35 is more fun to drive it is peppier and appointed very well for the price I do hope to kep this one for quite some time as I don't care for the other models as well and they are much more pricey. I like the front weel drive, like being pulled around as opposed to being pushed around. My 2 other infinitis never cost me a dime, never anything wrong, I hope this will will be as good.

I drove the maxima first and then the I35. No comparison. The I35 felt more like the Lexus I traded, the maxima felt like the accord I had a few years ago. I got a great deal too - $27,795 loaded. I couldn't get the maxima fully loaded for that price. I am a very happy customer. Oh and by the way, the Infiniti dealership gives you valet service, I don't think Nissan does. Infiniti rates #1 in customer satisfaction and service in my book.

I bought my I35 in early June 04. I also have a 2003 QX4 which replaced a 2000 QX4. I have to say that the overall quality of Infiniti (by Nissan) have always been superior vehicles in overall reliability. Its been basically "gas and go". I have read numerous reviews regarding the poor turn ratius of the I35, but after a month and 1,500 miles I can say anything bad about the car. Its been fun to drive and as comfortable as any car I've driven in this class. My only confussion is why Infiniti is dropping this model line.. If you are looking at I35s and you can find one I urge u to go for it. It cost me 27200 before taxes. An unbeatable price.

Bought 2003 I35 from dealer with 4k miles for 25k. I have only had a month but love the car. My only complaint is that I wish it were a little smoother on bumpy or uneven roads. I seem to have read that the OEM Bridgestone Turanza tires make the ride rougher than other tires. Otherwise, it's a fun car to drive, plenty of power, relatively good mileage. I question whether I should have bought a G35 instead, for smoothness, but the consumer ratings seem to be better for the I35. No major complaints so far. Minor one, the sunroof seems noisey, especially on the freeway. Maybe a wind deflector would help?

We have always owned American made cars this was a big change for us. The car is a cut above anything we have owned in the past. It rides smooth and handles curves well. The engine is fantastic. Powerful and quiet. We like the styling and have received many comments from others about the looks of the car. We have 17000 miles on it and it has not needed anything other than regular maintenance. The way the service shop deals with us is great. They always make sure we are happy. They do all the regular maintenance. The sale was no pressure and very relaxed. We actually enjoyed the expierience.

Great Deal

We've only had this car for 5 weeks but we think it's the best car we've had, certainly the best value. The car is very responsive on the road and has very little road noise. The outside appearence is nice but has no special pizzaz. The interior is beautiful in fit and finish. The breaking and suspension of the car are superior as is the steering. Turning radius seems a little bit limited but that's a small feature for us. Seating and cargo space are excellent. The I-35 is one of the few mid-sized cars with adequate headroom for rear seat passengers. We love the dashboard instrument configuration. Amenities are second to none.

Drives 50+ miles per day to/from work on busy Miami roads and handles like a champ in all conditions. Bose sound system is excellent, interior feels luxurious, traction control system is awesome for front-wheel drive! Drive the Maxima first and you'll know why the I35 is a superior car.

My I35 is spectacular. It is very powerful, luxurious, full-featured and the best buy out there! This car is definitely a bull in sheep's clothing - conservative styling with a very powerful engine! I highly recommend the I35 for those looking for a luxurious sports sedan.

Great car, Great deal

After much research in looking at the entry level luxury sedan market, I couldn't find a better deal than the '04 I-35.Though inside/outside are outdated, I still like that Maxima styling and the interior looks rich. My wife and I love to drive the car. A great blend of luxury and performance. The engine rocks, having the horsepower to get up and go from a stop as well as passing on the highway with ease. The Bose stereo system is the worst "deluxe" sound system I've had in any of my vehicles. Poor sounding speakers,woofer that constantly buzzes with noise. I've also incurred a few door dings...seems to have very soft sheetmetal.

Very happy owner

I've had this car for a week now. I love it. Very smooth and powerful. There is some engine growl moving around low speeds (such as moving slowly through parking lots), but is quiet during normal driving. Was considering G35, but the price was much better for I35. My dealer is awesome. I don't think you can get a nicer car for the money.

Although the I35 looks great there are a few features that need a great deal of improvement. The GPS system is just a toy compared to other cars in the same category. The turning radius needs a lot of work.

I just bought the 2004 I35. I bought a I30T in 1996, put 109,000 miles on it with no problems. Incredibly reliable car and the dealer service is awesome. I can't wait to pick up my new I35. Love the smooth power and comfort. I looked at the new Acura TL, nice car, but the interior is not nearly as elegant as the I35 and was $4,000 more.

I have had it for two weeks now and look for excuses to go for a ride and take it out on the road. It has a lot of power and I usually win the race across the intersection. It is comfortable on all types of roads. I considered the new Maxima and Altima but I liked the way the I35 handled and the way it felt when I drove it. I love the whole car.

This is my second I35. The first is a 1996. 135k miles with only two minor repairs. It just keeps going. The 2003 is an improvement over the 96. It rides better. It has more power. And if the reliability is anything like the 96, I will have it for a long time. It is a classy car without the price to go with it. The only negative ( and I mean the only) is the turning. It has a wider turn then the 96. A pleasure to drive. I do a lot of pleasure long distance driving. 8 to 11 hours a day on the road. It makes it easy and comfortable.

For the money paid compared to other same class models I received a huge bang for the buck and the dealer worked close to put me in the car! I am thrilled with the cars preformance and great looks and after 6 months still enjoy just taking it out for a spin!

Just got the car. Great price for what you get. Nice smooth engine, although it has some torque steer it is manageable. One drawback, it uses Premium fuel and the mileage is decent for the power it produces. Handling is a lot tighter then I expected. I was expecting a boaty ride, but it is quite tight.

Classic styling, lots of amenities for a reasonable price, understated elegance with no gimmicks, quiet, plenty of room, very dependable, and a car I plan to keep for several years. The M-45 is too expensive as a replacement for the I-35....and over $6000 less than the Lexus ES-330 with the same equipment!

I originally bought this car for my wife, but am now coveting some of the features of her much newer near-luxury car! This car affords a quiet, comfortable ride with enough amenities to keep all but the true technophiles happy (this, despite the fact we opted for a model without navigation). The interior is spacious and well thought out. The exterior is not necessarily eye-catching, but handsome. Power is ample, but this is a boulevard cruiser, so don't expect to fly around corners (that's what the MR2 is for).

Infinity should be embarassed to sell this car, especially touted as "Luxury". The ride/handling is so poor it borders dangerous. The road/wind noise is so high that one does not want to drive. The heat fan is extremely noisy. I used to own 1997 and 1999 Maxima's. The interior design, in many respects is the same!! Extremely disappointed. Will not approach Infinity again!

We have been sold on Nissan products since 1984, but the I35 has taken their normally reliable vehicles to a whole new level. It has the power of a beefy V8, gets 30 mpg on the highway at 80 mph and gets accolades from backseat passangers for its incredible roominess. Plus it looks great.

This car is smooth, luxurious and a really beauty. I've put on more than 500 miles in less than a week. I find myself finding things to do so I can drive it. The satellite radio is great. I like how the dash is laid out. The trip button on the heated steering wheel gives me outside air temp, MPG, miles till empty, avg. speed, and current mpg. The navigation system works to a T. The car handles very well and is a real joy to drive.
