  • Enjoying the ride - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Hit the 2 year/30K mile mark and thought a review was in order. Journey model with sport, premium, Nav, and technology package. Fun to drive, handles well, accelerates without difficulty, beautiful to look at especially the interior. Negatives are the tires wear quickly (not unexpected), small blind spot on driver side, the front exterior dings easily from rock chips (as does the grill), and the 6 disc changer decreases the opening in the trunk to get things in/out. No problems with the dealership but havent had any issues to deal with.

  • WOW - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have had this car over a year and am still in that "new car love" with it. The 306 HP engine puts out TONS of power, so much it has turned me in to one of those people who speeds anywhere and everywhere. I have driven tons and tons of cars, and have never driven one this fast. As the dealer said, it is a sports car with a sedan body. The interior of the car is equally as stunning as the performance. All of the functions, including the navigation, are extremely easy to use. We love the iPod dock in the center console, as well as the ability to use an external flash drive to import music into the cars memory for playback. The seats are overly comfortable and roomy all around.

    If you like a four door vehicle that combines performance, sport, luxury and all weather drive, the G35xS Infiniti is the best out there for the money. This vehicle turns heads and Im always getting personal compliments about this "G". 0-60 in 5.4 seconds or better with AWD, V6 and 5 speed automatic/manumatic this vehicle is a thrill to drive. I do know cars and research them. You have my honest recommendation this vehicle rides smooth, handles very well, very reliable and safe. Real premium comfy leather seats, Bose sound system, excellent brakes and low cost maintenance this is the best upscale vehicle to own and enjoy everyday.

    I just traded a 2006 accord ex v-6 for the G 35x. What a difference in ride, quality, and performance. The g is really fun to drive. The swell acceleration is awesome, smooth.. smooth... smooth.

  • Tossable 6MT! - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Break-in miles finally past, now Im able to use the full RPM range and push handling limits! So far, flawless. The G35S feels light and nimble. Steering is very direct and engine flexibility (low rev pull) is great. Interior noise level is low, what I expect for a luxury sports sedan. Only quibble is a noisier than normal clutch, or just needs a bit more insulation. Stock RE050A tires grip very well, although wont last with that 140 treadwear. Interior materials seem durable and well designed. Comprehensive options nav, prem, tech, esp liked the superb drivers seat bolster adjustments. Fuel economy could improve though.

  • Exactly what I wanted and more - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Got this car to replace a totalled 02 bmw 325xi. Shopping for cars was a real disappointment, everything was either too underpowered or too expensive. Infinitis value blew me away; I test drove a 2008 g35 and bought it later that day. Sure, the Germans make a smoother ride, but the g35 is quicker. The 306HP V6 is a blast to drive and its interior is feature rich and well designed. The nav system is very intuitive and well designed, especially the steering wheel controls. Rear wheel drive gives it a great sporty feel but is useless in the snow without proper tires. The gas mileage is terrible, I get about 13 mpg in the city. oh well, its worth it.

  • Best Decision Ever - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I went through an exhausting research process to decide on a car. I read every review, and drove more cars than I can count. Eventually, I narrowed it down between the 08 Accord Coupe w/ Nav, Audi A4 3.2 Quattro, BMW 3 Series, and only had the G35 left to drive. After I drove the Infiniti, I realized there was no comparison. The power, handling, and comfort are incomparable, and the price is incredibly reasonable for such an awesome car. I have people compliment my car everywhere I go!

  • Its a great car! - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I researched cars for a long time. I did own a Passat, and it was fine, but I was tired of the Euro quirks and expensive repairs. I wanted an all-wheel drive car with good technological features, as well as something that I could DRIVE. I looked at another Passat, but the V6 4-Motion was as much as this car. Easy decision there. This has been a great car so far. Love the acceleration and the handling. The interior is first rate. When compared to the BMW 3**xi, or the A4, it hands down the best value. More horsepower, more features, less money.

    I looked at Audi, Lexus, no comparison when you factor in everything.

  • Plenty of Bang for the Buck - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    If you get this car I highly recommend the Premium Package. It includes the completely integrated iPod hookup (Lexus does not), a sunroof, upgraded stereo, and more comfortable seats with the seat assist feature. My first car was a Camry so the 306 hp performance is a definite upgrade. I love being able to pass and merge at will. MPG has been 20 mpg so far vs 30+ with my 4 cyl Camry. This is not a full size car so if you are going to have frequent backseat guests you might consider something larger. A few of my friends have BMWs but they were very impressed with the look and performance of this car. For the money I dont think it can be beat.
