  • The nosiest car I have ever had - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    For the first 2 months, its fun to drive. Then the nightmare begins. Theres always some noise here & there. The dealership couldnt fix the problem. When the mileage goes to around 12,000, every time I drive the car, I feel like I was riding in a train. My husband & I basically cant talk while driving because of the great noise. Then theres the drivers seat track. Around 20,000, we had problems adjusting it. Thank God its still under warranty,and the dealer changed it for us. Overall, after having an Accord, BMW, Subaru. Believe me, Im glad its time to return the car. Because its the NOISIEST car I have ever had. jjmess

  • Fun, but some issues - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The car is a ton of fun to drive. The stereo has some issues and doesnt work well in the winter. Ive had to checked multiple times, but they cant seem to get it right. Brembo brakes are great, but plan on getting them changed every 30k miles (and can run upwards of $3k every time). Tires wear easily and need replacement often. Car is frightening to drive during the winter.

  • A Great GT - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    It has excellent balance throughout. Great steering feel, lateral grip is excellent, and the Brembo brakes work extremely well (although Id love an ABS override switch). The engine has wonderful low-end torque, but it gets a bit too buzzy above 4500 rpm. Because it performs so well, its easy to compare it to sports cars. And while it holds its own with many of the best, it should most fairly be viewed as the excellent GT car it was designed to be. It absolutely shines on the open road -- fast, comfortable, quiet and very good gas mileage. An absolutely wonderful package.

  • Good but not great - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Overall good car, but feels heavy, both in steering and in excelleration. It just doesnt feel like 280 hp. Looks great and gets a lot of attention. Overall comfortable ride for level of performance. VSC system kicks in a little too soon. Seat backs are way too hard for a luxury brand, and very tiring on long drives.

  • Beautiful Car, Ugly Mileage - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have only had this car for a month, but I already love it. Except for the terrible gas mileage of 19 miles to the gallon. But it is a sweet ride.

  • 99.9% there - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    After purchasing a used 17k mile G35, I have driven this car non stop for work. Overall, it is an incredibly designed vehicle matching a sporty edge with driver and passenger comforts built all in onein to one. I drove the Audi A4, BMW3 and the Infiniti. All in all the Infiniti gave the best balance PLUS the best warranty. Pound for pound the G35 is the more powerful car. Not only is it more powerful, it also handles well. Although, the BMW and Audi do give you the German sports car feel we all love, the Inifiti gives you a similar feel, better performance overall, and a much better stereo. I guess what I would like to say is more bang for your buck and better resale choose a G35.

  • High Miles = Disappointing - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I bought my car with 75,000 from a dealer and immediately had trouble with the following things: 1. power steering 2. gas door actuator 3. internal fuel system 4. air bags 5. cd player 6. blue smoke when I start the car. I have had it in the shop almost once a month. Maybe it is just a lemon. The car just rolled over 94,000 miles and I am trading it in tomorrow. YAY! I owned a 2000 lexus gs400 before this car, and the lexus blew this out of the water.

  • Very classy, yet still a beast - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The most impressive thing about this car is its overall driving experience. Similar to BMWs, the steering wheel, arm rest, shifter, controls and pedals are all positioned perfectly making you feel like youre in complete control of the car. Handling is excellent and steering is tight and stable. In addition, the G35x has lots of power under the hood, despite the added weight of AWD. The car accelerates quickly and responds well in the in the 3000-5000 RPM range. Very torquey, but in a good way. If you like to speed a bit, this car owns the highway like its on greased rails. If youre a conservative driver, the overall stability of the car should give you nice piece of mind.

  • Fun first Infiniti - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have had my G since November 2006. I traded in a 2005 Altima and the G had fewer miles and was fully loaded. payments were reduced and insurance remained about the same. I have to say, its a fun car and the only thing that annoys me is I have to get brake work done more frequently than any other car I have owned. I purchased with 40,000 and now have 130,000 miles and have had brakes done 4 times now. I will consider a newer g but I hope the brake issue has been solved. Infiniti g is a sports sedan and so I realize that the higher performance parts do cost more and may require more replacements, overall I enjoy the vehicle as its been the most fun car I have owned.

  • Beautiful Car but Proceed with Caution - 2004 Infiniti G35
    By -

    My G35 exceeds expectations in interior exterior styling and has good performance to boot, but the brakes are not good. This is a hidden expense. You will need to replace the brakes and rotors every year at $1,000 a pop. Make sure you think about this before buying. I also had to replace my alternator after two years, although I didnt pay for it because it was under warranty. Id suggest getting a BMW if you want a stylish, performance car that is more reliable.
