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.

    Having driven this in all kinds of weather i find it gives a very safe feel in all aspects except for the fuel mileage which is not what you are led to believe at time of purchase

    I rented one to go to Las Vegas and fell in love with it. Very comfortable and a joy to drive. I came home and bought one. I have only driven Fords up until this car, I wont be going back..

    This is a very well built piece of machinery. The tires that came with the vehicle were terrible but other than that I give it an A+

  • Pure Joy - 2005 Infiniti G35

    I considered buying or leasing a BMW 3 series, but after driving the G35 I was sold. Its as much fun to drive, the reliability is higher than the 3 series and the roominess was incredible compared to the Bimmer. The 3 series is really a sub compact. The only disappointment was in the gas mileage, although not terrible, not as high as it could have been.

    great style, luxury all you could ask for. The car has horsepower and torque. I like the way the car handles and the looks I get when driving. Getting used to all the controls take some time, but the owners manual is very helpful. I would recommend this car for anyone and I am am old mopar man from years back. This car is actually my wifes car and she picked it out and I reluctantly said ok after researching it. She loves the car and the power, speed, and the style the most. This is our first car that is not a domestic vehicle and now I am convinced of the quality and reliability of this vehicle so that the next vehicle, meaning mine may be in the Infiniti design. We a re very happy.

  • Great choice - 2005 Infiniti G35

    This car has been great to drive-plenty of zip with a great sporty sound too. The only problem was an early issue with the transmission control valve. Thats been replaced and the car has been great. It gets plenty of positive comments from people who see it.

  • loving my 6mt - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    this review is for the 6mt. just topped the 15k mileage, and everything is running peak. no problems, other than the city mileage estimates are way off ;-) this car is absolutely fun to drive. every day. excellent luxury performance car. of course its not the fastest off-the-line, but it can hold its own. and did i mention how beautiful this car looks?!? of course, its terrible in snow. i purchased 18s and snow tires, and it helps, but only a wee-bit. just starting to think about moding. looking into a body kit (top secret/gialla). would like to add a supercharger. great platform to build off of, but obviously on the $$ end. definitely not required to mod though, personal pref only!

  • Forget Europe Cars.......... - 2005 Infiniti G35

    This car is the best car for the money I have ever owned. Great performance handling, and looks. Why pay the HIGH price to say you have a Beemer, or Benz? Who really cares anyway, they are just EGOmobiles.

  • edmunds wrong about poor quality - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    i have owned the 2005 g35 for 2 weeks and found it to be the best performing car that i have ever owned. the materials are just fine, so is the design. this car is a well kept secret.

  • Sad to let this car go, but... - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Had my 05 G for 68 months. Sold it last week and got a 12 G37 sedan. I always loved the smooth, feminine lines of the 03-06 Gs. The interior was a bit squeaky and I never really liked the orange gauge lights,but I never had any mechanical issues until recently, when the car was nearly 9 years old. Then the power seat switch failed ($1,700) and the power adjustment for the steering column failed too. Personally, when electrical issues start cropping up, I ditch the car. The car was great for what it was - a sport sedan. Rear seat room was a little tight, but I feel I got my moneys worth for the car, my favorite so far. We have had five Infinitis and two Nissans through the years.
