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.

  Amazing Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By ForumPete - December 22 - 6:10 am

  I just got this car a couple weeks ago, but have been driving it for a couple of years. This is pretty much the most fun car Ive ever driven, second only to my 70 Cuda! Also the most beautiful car Ive ever seen. I simply love it!!

  Improved for 2005... - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By E.D.L. - December 11 - 1:23 pm

  I waited for the 2005 G35 Coupe model which was released in late October 2004. The interior materials and instrument panel display are MUCH nicer than the 2004 model. Dual power seat recliners and tilt w/ telescoping steering wheel are now standard equipment for 2005 as well. But, most of all, there is the newly available Sport Suspension Package which includes better handling and nice looking 19" wheels--you will not be disappointed with this package! Combine the Sport Pkg with the Premium Pkg and you have the perfect blend of sport and luxury in one vehicle. A bargain at 36-37K, especially when compared to high-line makes like BMW & Mercedes which cost thousands more for less vehicle.

  Black Beauty - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Scott - September 27 - 4:53 am

  I cannot due justice to the bang for your buck with this vehicle. I have the performance package, obsidian black on chrome 18" wheels, fin and molding kit. Willow leather interior fully loaded with nav and 225 watt Bose system. I black tinted the rear windows. Does anyone remember Night Rider? A K&N air filter gives it about 5 more horses that pushes it to 285 hp. The car growls when I hit it. I turn more heads than a Paris Hilton video. This vehicle is solid and and true performer. I am a V8 guy normally. I went from Jag super charged V8 that put out 370 hp. I was concerned about losing that huge punch that only a big V8 can deliver at any speed. I found it! No regrets.

  Dads toy - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Jason - September 9 - 1:10 am

  As a father to be I was looking for a car that would satisfy all of the family. The G35 6MT Sedan has exceeded all of those expectations. The fun to drive factor, safety and enough room for the baby to ride in style. The power has been fantastic in comparison to a 2003 Saab 93. 88 horses makes a world of difference and it is great be back in a rear wheel drive car again. The handling has been superior with the 18 inch wheels and the sport tuned suspension. Im somewhat concerned considering we faced snow on October 25th. The snow tires are on the way.

  One Month Review - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By gmk519 - August 16 - 9:00 pm

  Ive had my G35x for a few weeks now. It is everything I expected. Outstanding performance with very luxurious features for this market segment. Prior to purchase I looked at 3series, A4 3.0 Qttro, Passat GLX, and Volvo S60. All with AWD, all similar price range. But none came close to performance of the G35 (except the 330 which cost thousands more). More importantly, the complaints made about the 04 model have been addressed in the 05! Steering wheel controls now illuminate, horsepower is up to 280, and the steering wheel telescope is now power operated with memory seat. If you want a head-turning sport sedan with AWD for around $35k (includes premium package)...check out this car!

  I love my G35 - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Henry Hamilton - July 30 - 10:26 pm

  In the past I have purchased three and five series BMWs and have been happy with except for the constant repairs. This time I decided to get a Japanese car so I looked at the ES330, the TL and the Maxima. The first time I drove the G35 I was sold. It handles great and has lots more power than my bimmers did.

  G35 Coupe - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By Jim Hoey - July 27 - 11:33 am

  After doing considerable research, I chose to purchase the 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe. Based on performance, value for the dollar, and the included standard equipment, I dont think there is a better value to be found. Having owned a 2001 I30 I knew about the exceptional dealer support, free loaner vehicles, reliability, performance, and comfort of the Infiniti line. My G35 has proven to be even more fun to drive. I previously owned a 1986 300Z. The G35 smokes it. Other cars considered included BMW 318 series, Saab, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Acura. Dollar for dollar, and feature for feature, none stacked up to the G35.

  2005 Infiniti G35X - 2005 Infiniti G35
  By jonmanch - July 26 - 10:03 pm

  Only had the car for two weeks; however, it is a lot of fun to drive. I recently owned an Audi A6. The interior finishes are very nice, and I think Infiniti has improved on the finsihes for 2005. The car was well assembled. There are no squeaks or rattles. I do find fault with a few design failures; namely, the car doors do not automatically lock when either placed in Drive or when reaching 9 mph as the VW and Audi doors do. Also, the memory seats do not include the side view mirror settings. I park in a garage in NYC, and I always get the car back with the mirrors changed. It is a slight inconvenience to reset, but at this price, it should have been a simple programming job.
