This Year's Model Updates:

Most of what's new for the 2006 G35 is related to the coupe version. Last year's Sport Package, which is standard on coupes with the manual transmission, now includes a unique front fascia, side sills and an optional rear spoiler. Infiniti has further bolstered the coupe's sporting intentions by making an active rear-steer system available. Unlike passive rear steering systems, this design features motor-driven control to help improve the vehicle's handling performance by adjusting the rear suspension geometry according to steering input and vehicle speed. A quicker steering rack is also part of the package. Other changes this year on the Infiniti car include standard HID headlights for the coupe and Bluetooth connectivity for all G35s.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, balanced and capable handling, roomy cabin, reasonable price.
Cons:
  • Average interior materials quality, touchy brakes.

    This car rides very smoothly and comfortably. I love the look and feel of this car!

  • G35 with 19" performance pkg gets a C- - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    A good car if youre looking for exterior styling and power - but the love will end there. The quality is poor (especially for this class), the ride is harsh and loud - especially for the mediocre handling this car provides. Infinity could have had a great car with this one, but unfortunately its only a fair car. After owing it for 12 months, Im eager to get rid of it.

  • Amazing car - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    just bought the car about 4 days ago and i wake up just to drive this car. the car is beautiful in black and the black interior is amazing. premium package is great intelegent key is a good convienience. the car looks nice with or without the spoiler so it doesnt matter and the BOSE sound system is worth every penny. One thing im surprised no one talked about is the exhaust. deep strong sound just loud enough to hear but not annoyingly loud the ride is extremely smooth no complaints other then the fuel economy

  • A great car, it saved our lives. - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    We owned the infinity g35 for 6 months. It was a pleasure to drive.The gas mileage was good and the car gave a stable ride and was very reactive to road conditions. It had more than enough power and at higher speeds cornered very well. The best feature however was the safety factor! The car was involved in an accident where a car in the opposing lane crossed a median and basically tore apart the entire drivers side from front headlight to the rear panel. The front and side airbags deployed and probably saved our lives! We were the only ones that walked away from that multi car accident. The car was totaled by the insurance company..We are buying another (identical) one to replace it.

  • Fun Car - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have had my G35 for 3 months and the fun of driving hasnt decreased even a fraction. In fact, the more I drive it, the more fun it has become. It handles great and has incredible power and acceleration. As expected, the only draw back is the fuel economy. Depending on how I drive it ranges from 13 mpg to 24 mpg. Generally, I get about 15 to 17 mpg, so no real complaints. Overall a great car well worth the price!

  • A blast to drive - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Acceleration is nice but could use a little more in gears 1-3. Passing is no problem and taking corners is fun as the car just sticks to the road. The shifting is a little unrefined and you really feel it in both the stick and the clutch. Overall comfort is nice and you sit nice and low to the ground. Drink holders on the manual are not in the easiest place to reach and drinks can get in the way when your shifting.

  • Finally found the right car - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    We looked at the Acura TL, very sporty, not a smooth ride for the price, same with Honda Accord. New camry, to funky looking, Lexus ES 330--smooth ride, not sporty enough. Infiniti G 35--280 hp, awesome power and comfort, love the sportiness and smooth ride, we fight over who gets to drive it, the long commuter or short traveler! Weve had it a week and have NO buyers remorse, and you can get some GREAT deals on the 06 right now! I read these reviews on all the cars we test drove, dont buy another car before you test drive this one. Infiniti also has a great warranty and typically great customer service. We are repeat Infiniti buyers!

  • Lots of car for the money - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    If you want economy, get a Prius. This car was designed to get from A to B fast. Its not great for very long trips (the seats are a bit stiff), but to get to work or some party - great! For the money you pay, you get a lot more than 3-series BMW or C-class MB have to offer. This car looks amazing, drives like a rocket, premium package gives you GPS, dual climate control and pretty beefy BOSE audio system. The interior build quality exceeds what C-class has to offer by a mile. Overall - great car. Worth every $ paid for it.

  • Great performer, could use better components - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I bought my 2006 G35 Coupe automatic in 10/2006. I have had one accident, some small fender benders. Overall the performance has been great. The good: The car handles well, superb acceleration and braking. The automatic transmission has been reliable, although a little bumpy between 1st and 2nd. The styling of course is unparalleled. The interior technology package has worked well - the navigation is spot-on - a little awkward to use with the joystick inputs, but not bad for 2006. The Bluetooth has never failed though 4 iPhones. It connects every time, and the voice input is about 95% accurate. The audio system - CD changer, speakers work perfectly to this day. Electronic seat warmer and adjusters have not failed. The bad: Interior components have been cheap. There have been a few gimpy components. The removable cupholder - very cheap and the spring broke after about 2 years. The DC socket has failed about 3-4 times. Driver window motor had to be replaced after 125k miles. The tire pressure sensor had to be replaced after 90k miles. After 80k miles, leather covering the door panels are starting to peel off, and after 120k miles, the leather on the side panels in the back have completely peeled off (and nobody ever sits back there). The ugly: Tires - need to be replaced every 20-30k. Overall I like this car. Performance is very reliable. I have not had many huge problems with the vehicle, however there are numerous small fixes for the car. The car is very tough on the tires (and I have a stock 18" wheels).
