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.

  • Great Buy - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Ive driving my new Infinite for about a month now, m really surprized by the powerful engine, exceleration is swift like a bullet, braking is amazing. This car has great looks from inside and out. Exhaust noise is fun to listen to when excelerating. Its very tempting to drive this car really fast, feels very smooth and comfortable at high speeds, feels like 50s when driving at 80. This car has a lot of room in the second row. Bose stereo perfomrs less than expected but its OK. Had the chance to drive my G 35X in snow, 4-wheel drive system was great, no slip, no skid, very manouvreable in snow. Its thousands cheeper than BMW 3 series with much more features for much less money, great buy.

    I have owned mostly german made cars and after buying the G35 I do not think I will ever go back. This car provides you with the same things you would get in a Mercedes for about $20,000 less. Plus it will eat a BMW and spit it out on the road.

  • Love the Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    After 6 months of investigating coupes in the 30,000-40,000 range I decided on the G35. From the first moment I drove away from the dealer I know I had made the right choice. I love this car. It is a blast to drive. The sports suspension and 19 inch wheels make the handling a dream as it hugs the road on curves. The 280 horses under the hood are plenty allowing the car to accelerate to 60 in less than 6 seconds. Its ability to accelerate from 50 to passing speed is even more impressive. It is also much better looking than BMW 3 series. Gas mileage is only around 15 in town but I did not buy the car for gas economy. Great car especially for the price!!

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Infiniti G35

    We all have different expectations on what the G35 Coupe should be like. No matter what those are we all agree that this car for its class is almost perfect. I had two Infinity QX4 before buying the G35 Coupe. This car continue to impress me in all driving conditions (city/highway). I am looking forward to the natural evolution of this model in 2008.

  • Great Car !!! - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have had Lexus, MB & BMW sports cars in the last 8 years. Forget about price, but this car blows them all away by far. Handling, quickness & styling for under $40K, WHAT A STEAL. I will buy another one when I wear this one out, which I should in about 10 years !!!

    I just picked up one of these with the sports package, being a Toyota and Lexus owner for years I wanted a new drive experience, These G35s perform well, very fast and just a great feeling of quality, Bose system sounds great.

  • Best Car I ever Leased - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The excellent Motor Trend and Car & Driver reviews were accurate. I purchased a fully optioned G35 Coupe with Sport Tuned Suspension etc. I could have purchased a BMW 330i for a little bit more expense but am confident that I have the better value, style and performance (i.e. better braking figures and acceleration etc.)

  • Best value for your money - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    After driving a G35, RX8 and a 3 series, i found that the value for my money was the G35 coupe 6mt. The design surpasses the others, the performance upstages the beemer and rx8, and the handling is the perfect compromise between sport and luxury. Also, the dealership experience far exceeds that of other dealers that i visited.

  • I made a great choice - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    After driving a Buick Park Avenue for 15 years I decided to down size and step up. Boy did I make the right decision. I enjoy my G35X more and more each day. The only complaint is the milage but I can overcome that because of the luxury of the ride. The amenities are unbelievable. I have the navigation system and the sirius radio. Both are great and I find I use the nav system constantly.I have never been happier with a car.

  • Oh, I love this car. - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    So Id had three Accords in a row (99, 01, 03), and wanted something sportier this time. I test-drove the BMW 330i and this, and found them pretty comparable, except for a) the price, and b) the AWD capabilities on the G35x, which are more sophisticated than those on the (not yet released) 330xi. Ive put 300 miles on this car in the last five days, and I absolutely love it. It handles like a dream, it has power to spare, its full of great luxury touches, and is just generally a superb car. Im actually thinking I might keep this one longer than two years. And thanks to the AWD, it should manage to handle better than the Accord in the winter, too.
