  • Great choice for 30-40k! - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    I looked at a C320 but it cost too much for what you get. The next one was a 3.2 TL which was a decent car and quicker, but looked like a polished Honda. So I went for the I35 w/ more conservative styling, larger size and mid-range price. (1% over invoice) I got every option. I wasnt sure about the chrome wheels (too flashy?) but I get alot of compliments. In short, great car, good deal, great service from dealer (had some options put on the car.) 9 out of 10.

    This has been the best car I have ever purchased and I have had many. It gets better gas mileage than most 4 cylinder cars and has a very responsive 6. The front wheel drive is great for winter snows in the mountains. The fold down rear seat has come in handy many times for hauling material.

  • VERY UNRELIABLE - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    I have had problems with the car since I purchased it. Its been recalled twice. The car stalls when Im driving or stopping, it bucks when driving at high speeds then feels like its going to stall out on me. My wife will not drive the car anymore because she is afraid. The infiniti has been in and out of many service centers and they cannot find the problem.

  • Rock solid - 2002 Infiniti I35

    Of all the cars I have owned, this is by far the rock of Gibralter of them all. Maintenance costs have been very low, comfort is unbelievable, durability is amazing. if I had a choice, I would never own another car.

  • Mixed emotions - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    This car is a love-hate. I love the engine performance.Under throttle the torque steer is unbelievable. The engine is smooth as silk up to the redline. Transmission shifts nicely. The seats are uncomfortable for long trips. The stereo is excellent. The heated steering wheel is too hot, even through gloves. The heated seats are nice in the cold. The gas mileage is pitiful. Dont believe the trip computer because it lies. The instrumentation sucks, well positioned but inaccurate. My speedometer is 7% inaccurate and no one will fix it. The climate control works very well. Overall I like the car in the city but on long trips I wish I had a Q45.

    I have had the car just over 3 years. No problems whatsoever. Still fun to drive and I can zoom past most everyone when I need to (or want to). Comfortable, loaded with options, a fantastic car at a great price.

  • Horrible money pit - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    Purchased this car with 80,000 miles on it and odometer now reads 111,500. Since that time, check engine light came on, needed to replace radiator (it cracked), temperature gauge (it broke), left rear brake caliper (it seized). Suspension is the worst, pretty much intolerable. The engine has the most obnoxious clunking I have ever heard. Was recently told the muffler and catalytic converter will need to be replaced asap as these do not pass inspection. This car is a money pit when it comes to gas and repairs and the performance is disgraceful for the infiniti name. Will be purchasing a Honda/Acura and will never consider a Nissan/infiniti in the future.

  • Best Priced High Performance/Luxory Car - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    I just love this car. From NYC Ive driven it to Cleveland (RR Hall of Fame) and Myrtle Beach. Long drives with nothing but enjoyment because of the I35. You can not get a better high performance/luxury car for the money. Lexus ES300 is overpriced and underpowered. Acura TL Type S just doesnt have the same luxurious interior look or feel.

  • Cant believe the other reviews! - 2002 Infiniti I35
    By -

    I leased this car in October 2001; for 4 years it was great except for the 2 or 3 recalls. Bought it in 05; 1 month later, it all started falling apart. It now has 99,000 miles on it and I have put so much money into it its not even funny. Spark plugs, hoses costing $700, O2s, transmission, motor mounts (twice), struts, CD player doesnt work (55,000 miles ago), sun roof opens at will and now it decided not to close. It sounds like theres a window open in the car all the time. If you put too much base on the radio the rear view mirror shakes to the beat (WOW!); that happened from the beginning. Oil leaks. Not to mention all the dings and dents on the front/back doors! Wanna buy it?
