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.

  • 2005 G35 Coupe (A) - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I traded my 2002 325i BMW in for a 2005 G35 coupe. The BMW is a great car, but I found it getting boring and kind of stodgy feeling. The G35 offers a sleek, modern style and wiht tons of power. I must say power is very addictive, coupled with great handling makes it fun to drive. It takes turns with much less body roll as compared to the Beemer with the sports package. The G35 is not as light or tossable as the 325i, so it takes a little of the fun away. I find the rear to slide out at times. I dont know if its the design or inadequate Dynamic control system. I like the Bose stereo, no problems and it sounds great. The seat belt is annoying as stated, but one gets used to it.

    Ive had the car for three months now and so far so good.Great engine,great trans,handles awesome.I got the 19 inch wheel package which is great in dry weather so so in wet weather park it in the snow.The seats really hug the driver but can be a litte uncomfortable at times.I was suprised at how functional the trunk and back seats are for a coupe.The back seats fit two average size adults fairly comfortably and the trunk holds two suitcases.The one downside is at the pumps but you kind of know that going in.

  • Good car but.............. - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I drove all of the competition (BMW, Acura, etc) and to be completely honest, I would rather be driving a 3- series. However, there is no denying the fact that this car presents incredible value for the money. This car is literally 7 to 8 grand less than a comparable BMW. But some days I like it and others I dont. I have had the car for 3 to 4 months and there are squeaks and rattles creeping up which is simply unacceptable for a car like this. The car does have great features, exterior styling is very nice, and it is very comfortable. Gas mileage isnt great but I wouldnt really expect it with nearly 300hp.

  • G35 @ 40,000 - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Purchased a 05 4dr with premium & sport package in feb of 05. Put over 40k on the odometer in less than 2 years. The car has met most of my expectations, but has fallen short on a couple of things: Good - engine performance, handling, acceleration, sport shift, reliability. Not so good - Fit and finish of the interior is not up to par with Acura/Lexus/BMW competition. Example - rear windows squeak and creak with any acceleration or slight bump in the road.

  • Great Car for $$$ - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The 2005 G35 is a great car for the money. 280hp and the smooth shifting auto make this a very fun car to drive. I looked at previous models, but I wasnt impressed with the interior. The 2005 interior is a big improvement.

  • Luxury Fast sports car - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I bought the car a month ago, I always liked this car in coupe model and for a ten year old car it out performs even the newer sports cars in the market. The powerful VQ motor will get you excited each time you turn the ignition On, overall its a fun car with a lot to offer, I like the style better than the G37 newer model, no offense, as a G35 driver I must say that this sports car will make you feel like a teenager again, turns heads especially the girls, a good value automobile.

  • Buy this vehicle! - 2005 Infiniti G35

    This is truly an astonishing machine. The bond that I have shared with Infiniti has moved me to become an Infiniti salesman. First off I have owned two this model, a 2004 g35 manual and now a 2005. Opt for the 2005 if you have the option, it has a sexier hood taillights and other features, like more horsepower etc. It drives amazing. We have a lot of hills and curves in Wisconsin so I can truly say I have tested these cars. If you floor it after 3000rpm hold on tight as you are pushed into the plush leather seats. So comfortable and well built. Fuel economy is 30mpg hwy not bad for a 306 horsepower beast. You will not regret owning this vehicle I promise. Way better than is300,tl,bmw etc.

  • Pound for pound a great car. - 2005 Infiniti G35

    I had a 1998 Maxima SE and I just traded in my 2002 Maxima SE for the 6MT G35. This truly represents what a sports sedan is all about, nothing is compromised in this car. Style, room and performance....I really thought I was not missing much from the 02 Maxima...but was I wrong. Handling is amazing and to have rwd again is bliss. Someone asked me why I just didnt get another Maxima or a Acura TL and I started to explain, then I thought if I have to explain, they will never get it.

  • Love My Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I went from a Sport Utility to my G35 Sedan. I absolutley love it. The quality is wonderful. I have no complaints. If it matters to you gas mileage is poor. My first week driving it I got 13 miles to the gallon. I have since learned to keep my foot from zooming everywhere I go. If you are looking for quality and a nice ride this car is for you.
