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.

Excellent... - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Daime - March 14 - 8:43 amLove the car. Be prepared to lay out a lot of money on tires if you buy the sport tuned suspension package. I got 16,000 miles out of the first set of tires and had to spend $1,500.00 for new Michelins. In the long run it is worth it because the car brings me great happiness every day. The only complaint that I have is the right rear brake has squeaked since the day I drove off the lot and the dealer has been rather unresponsive.

I LOVE this car!!! - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Jeannie - March 13 - 6:53 pmI just bought this car yesterday and I LOVE IT! I have been looking at Infinitis for over 2 years and am glad I stayed with them. This car has power beyond dreams, comfort and style along with elegance and class. I only wish tinted windows were part of the package but I will be taking it in on Monday! I have driven a Durango for the last 6 years so the mileage isnt a huge issue and the power makes it well worth it!

Excellent Fun For Your Dollar - 2005 Infiniti G35
By G Whiz - March 11 - 3:33 am7 Months & 5,500 miles into this car and I am as happy with this car today as the day I picked it up from the dealer. Test drove BMW 325 before purchasing the G35 Coupe. And here are the main reasons why I picked the G35. 1) Looks, the G35 is very unique, stylish and classy. BMW 3 Series is also very stylish and classy but come dime a dozen in my city. 2) G35 had a very noticeable acceleration and torque advantage. 3) The G35 was approx. $2K less and insurance was also less expensive. 4) Cornering and handling on both cars are excellent. They do have different feels to them and in this category Ill rate them equal.

Nice and Sporty Entry Level Luxury Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Justinr321 - March 9 - 7:53 pmI bought this vehicle after I totaled my 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I wanted something very nice but not too expensive considering I was only going to finance something for about 3 years (I didnt want to keep my next car very long). I ultimately decided on a used luxury car and found this. It is a great car. It is fast, very comfortable, drives smoothly, luxurious, and actually gets ok gas mileage. I like it much better than my Eclipse. Drives amazing at 66,000 miles.

First Impressions of 2005 G35 AWD - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Scottish - March 1 - 8:13 pmA great car for the winter. I just logged 150 miles on a snowy highway trip in Upstate NY. The car handled great -- it really sticks to the road. I plan to get snow tires next season (even with the AWD, since AWD drive does nothing to help stop the car on snow and ice) but the factory supplied all seasons did well. The G35X replaced a 99 Passat GLS (V6) -- a great car until suspension problems (with an $1100 repair, recall for same) and other mechanical probles at 60K made me look for something more reliable. I purchased the 2005 G35X in February and hope to be driving it well past 60K. This car is reported to have very high reliability -- better than the Acura TL.

In Love - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Natcham - January 13 - 10:13 pmWhat a beautiful car! I have had my 2005 6MT for six months now and the excitement and exhiliration of driving it has not worn off one bit. The engineering that goes into this car is amazing. Six air bags, vicious limited slip, 19" GORGEOUS rims, 300bhp, killer exhaust note, and styling that absolutely turns heads (including my own). The leather seats are gorgeous as well. My hardest decision was what color to choose. Ultimately, it was the Ivory Pearl. Just stunning. On the road, this thing does not even lean in the corners. Grip is phenomenal. I do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Difficult to drive in a 70 mph zone without speeding. Travelling at 90 mph feels like 45. You can have your Mercedes or BMW!

Ultimate luxury for the price! - 2005 Infiniti G35

Luxury Sports Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Larry Levine - November 30 - 4:00 pmThis car is for someone who demands luxury but wants the fun of a sports car. The exterior is sharp. I have many people taking a second look. It is fast,roomy and has some nice features. I previously owned a Lexus GS 400 and I know I made the right decision to trade in the Lexus for the Infinity.

Yeah, Its All That - 2005 Infiniti G35
By IOSPro - November 19 - 9:26 pmThe G35 6M is everything a car should be. Its a performance car w/ luxury, not the other way round. It has a nice growl when pushed, but quite when cruising. All the niceties are there and well designed. The car fits you like your favorite sneakers. The mp3 player is very nice and the Navi cannot be beat. I had to buy winter tires which was a drag, but the 18 do look fine. The clutch has a very quick engagement point, and was hard to adjust to after 20 years of Saabs clutches. The environmental system is the best, arctic in the summer and toasty in the winter. VSC works very well in the rain (not tested yet in snow). Much research went into this choice, I would buy again!
