Overview & Reviews

The sedan receives exterior styling revisions with a new hood, grille, bumpers, side sills, taillights and wheels. Sedans now make as much power as the coupes -- 280 hp (up from 260) and 270 lb-ft of torque (also up from 260) on models with an automatic transmission. Coupes and sedans equipped with a manual transmission get even more power (298 hp) but sacrifice 10 lb-ft of torque. Sedans with the sport suspension package also pick up 18-inch wheels and drilled aluminum pedals. All G35s get a redesigned instrument panel and console area with aluminum or wood trim, and the manual transmission has been improved to provide a lower shifting effort. A Sport version of the coupe debuts this year and includes an even firmer suspension, a limited-slip differential, 19-inch forged alloy wheels and drilled aluminum pedals. Oddly, though, Brembo brakes are no longer available on manual-shift coupes.

• Powerful V6, balanced and capable handling, roomy cabin, reasonable price.

• Average interior materials quality, touchy brakes.

  Ultimate luxury for the price! - 2005 Infiniti G35

  This car rides like a luxury car, handles like a sports car, and takes off like a motorcycle.

  Luxury Sports Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Larry Levine - November 30 - 4:00 pm

  This car is for someone who demands luxury but wants the fun of a sports car. The exterior is sharp. I have many people taking a second look. It is fast,roomy and has some nice features. I previously owned a Lexus GS 400 and I know I made the right decision to trade in the Lexus for the Infinity.

  Get in and drive the hell out of it!! Great performance and handling---the traction control REALLY works great! Excellent paint and interior quality! The tire pressure indicator will really improve tire mileage----if you pay attention to it!!!!!

  Nearly Perfect - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By John Mc - November 20 - 6:16 am

  Had difficulty finding "the car", but when I did, I bought it. Athens Blue 6MT with just about everything. Very stiff at first, but had become normal in 5K miles. Absolutely no problems. Fit and finish is flawless. The Nav. system is obviously a carryover from the Japanese Skyline since the joystick is on the right, making for a bit of a reach. Driver seat bolsters are little tight for a 280# person, but are molding with time. Seat adjustment switches need to be moved as do the seat heater switches. Car is a definite head turner. Infiniti did a beautiful job with the car. It is a joy to drive. Only wish LA freeways were less congested. One trip to San Diego was a kick.

  Yeah, Its All That - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By IOSPro - November 19 - 9:26 pm

  The G35 6M is everything a car should be. Its a performance car w/ luxury, not the other way round. It has a nice growl when pushed, but quite when cruising. All the niceties are there and well designed. The car fits you like your favorite sneakers. The mp3 player is very nice and the Navi cannot be beat. I had to buy winter tires which was a drag, but the 18” do look fine. The clutch has a very quick engagement point, and was hard to adjust to after 20 years of Saab’s clutches. The environmental system is the best, arctic in the summer and toasty in the winter. VSC works very well in the rain (not tested yet in snow). Much research went into this choice, I would buy again!

  Good Riddance - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Good Riddance! - November 16 - 10:40 pm

  Ive owned many new cars over my lifetime and I can honestly say this has been by far the biggest dissapointment I have ever had. There is nothing worse than making a $500 car payment on a car that you are not thrilled with. Yes the exterior is phenomenal, but I felt like I was dating a supermodel without a brain or personality. The auto tranny was terrible(the manual isnt much better), the interior highly UNrefined, and the suspension very crude, having plenty of grip, but too harsh for roads here in New England. I guess if you drive in warm climates with no potholes, or havent been treated to having cars with some refinement, Im sure the car will be fine for you. No hard feelings.

  I LOVE this car! - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By CTKath - October 28 - 8:53 am

  When my son suggested that I look into the Infiniti G35x for an AWD car, I admit, Id never heard of it. I was leaning toward an ES330. I am so glad that I listened to him - I adore this car! Everything about it - the engine, the styling, the color (Lakeshore Slate). I am so proud to be driving it. I didnt go for the wood interior and Im glad, I like the brushed aluminum better. I like the size too, not too big (I traded in a 1999 Avalon) and not too small (I was test-driving a C320 4matic). I did get the satellite radio, but am considering not subscribing anymore because I dont get enough use out of it. My oil change was a snap. No problems - love this car!

  Midlife Crisis Overcome - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By stollerlm - October 23 - 6:53 am

  I went through my younger years oggling the hot cars of my era (60s)promising myself that some day I would own one. Now in my 50s, and having done the four-door, luxury routine (mostly Lincolns), I decided it was my time. I learned of the Infiniti quality (absolutely tops) owning a four-door I35, and finally decided "what the hell" and bought the two door G35 coupe (auto.). Quality and exceptional performance (engine and suspension) that I dreamed of as a kid. Most exciting care I ever have owned.

  2005 Coupe Auto - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By raizelgs - October 14 - 9:23 pm

  Car is a joy to drive. Acceleration and handling are superb. Styling is eye-catching. I did not buy the wing. It looks like an ironing board left on the trunk Trunk is small, but not tiny. Plan to buy snow tires in the northern states. High performance and rear wheel drive make for a slippery car with wide tires. I smile every morning when I see the car.

  Easy on the eye and the soul - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By gadabout - October 9 - 7:56 pm

  Unbelievable. The whole experience of the G35 Coupe 6MT is unbelievable. From the purchase, to the first drive. I have found that G35 family has luxury in mind as blends it perfectly with preformance. I am a mid twenties new family guy and this car still has a purpose. It can seat four in comfort so you can use the pratical angle on the wifey. Shifts on the 05 are smoother than that of the 03-04 and power delivery in each gear promotes spirited driving. This car has the beauty to turn heads everywhere and since is it relatively a unique brand, people will come up to you asking what it is and dropping compliments left and right. Only thing flawed is the dipstick. Recommended for anyone!
