This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, balanced and capable handling, roomy cabin, reasonable price.
Cons:
  • Average interior materials quality, touchy brakes.

    Ever since I set my eyes on this vehicle, I could have never gone into another dealership... unless it was an Infiniti. This car is comfortable, fast,gorgeous,stylish, and a car with one of the 10 Best engines in the world! It can NOT get any better then this.

    This is the best looking car(coupe) hands down under 40k. Its fast, sleek and sexy. This machine will have you doing things you didnt know you could do. Infiniti out did themselves with this one. Get a used 2005 coupe while you still can. Caution: leave your girl or boyfriend at home when driving this coupe.

    Just purchased a g35x. Love the car. Car stands out from the rest of the pack. I opted for the black with graphite interior and really believe this is the best choice. Only thing I would like to see changed is better fuel economy and possibly bluetooth. Overall really enjoy the drive.

  • Love my G35! - 2005 Infiniti G35

    I love everything about my G35. I picked the sedan over the coupe because it is easier to get in and out of it, especially when taking more than one passenger. It has a lot of pep, it it smooth as silk to drive and it looks sporty for a sedan. I think it is the best value on the road!

  • Best Car Ever - 2005 Infiniti G35

    Stylish, sporty, luxurious, handles like a dream..............waiting for the snow...........handled well during the hurricane (hydroplane)season. Step up from a BMW and Audi. Test drive and see.

  • Japanese BMW - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Ive owned three BMWs - two 3-series and a 5-series - and drive hard; my 5-series had the Dinan Stage 2 kit in it. Got tired of maintaining BMWs. Wish I had done it two cars ago. Infiniti has tons of power, handling is excellent, car is so solid in feel. If you have $50K for a BMW 550i and $3K a year to maintain it, ok, but the G35 is very, very damn close for 40% less money. Lows: Brakes are not quite up to what I am used to. Bose stereo is a disappointment. The suspension is smooth, but not as composed as a BMW over rough pavement. Highs: Power. Engine has a great sound. The design is well thought out. Good back seat space/comfort. Inexpensive maintenance compared to a German car.

  • Best of all worlds - 2005 Infiniti G35

    Overall, best buy in this class...period. Compared to Acura TL, but FWD was a turnoff. I have driven the G35X in snow, sleet, freezing rain, and dry...and nothing can stop it. The "snow" mode is priceless in itself! Improvements in the interior from 2004 are many, including better seats, nice gauge layout, and real aluminum trim. The best part is actually driving though. Acceleration is superb. Braking is strong. Handles well. AWD steering is heavy though, so it takes effort. SMARTKEY: worth the price to leave keys in pocket and go! MP3 player works great with burned CDs. Price is good considering content.

  • World Class Sports Car - 2005 Infiniti G35

    The G35 coupe is the best all around sports car for the money on the market today. Performance, comfort, safety and styling are second to none. Not to mention the fun factor. The tuned sports pkg with 19" high performance tire is a must option. Two adults can ride in the back seat comfortably as well. Test drive it before you buy your next sports car

  • Soooo much value - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    For those that like to drive, this sedan is almost impossible to beat. As fast & roomy as a 545i, for literally half the price. Spent the last 7 years wishing my otherwise perfect Maxima was RWD, and now Ive got it! Many minor improvements in 05 made this car worth the wait. Basically a 4 door 350Z, with a better interior, to boot. Just a great combination of features to bring the true "four door sports car" back to Nissan/Infiniti

  • Stacies Review - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The car is beautiful and fun to drive. Receive lots of looks. It is fast. The downside: Lots of road noise. Always losing small items beside the seat and the console - almost impossible to retrieve items due to design. Tires only last about 18K miles - something I wish I had known prior to purchase.
