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.

Lovin it - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Blake - July 2 - 11:13 pmI got my G35 for my college graduation present and I LOVE IT! Its just beautiful to look at. I like driving it too! Mine is silver/ grey interior w/ sport package. The sport package is a plus because the 18 wheels are nice. I like how the car hugs the road around corners and is definitely a head turner. Ive had my car for 3.5 months and I already have 4,000 miles. Had a small problem with the cup holder but my Infiniti dealer got me a new one. Troncalli Infiniti in Atlanta where I got my car was great but I recently visited Infiniti of Nashville and the service was horrible. Plus they charged me $50 for just an oil change. Other then that, Im lovin my car.

G35: From mine to hers, no getting back! - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Jarais - June 24 - 3:20 amI bought it "for me," my wife drove it that same evening, I have not gotten it back since. I have never heard her talk about loving a car, but, she LOVES "her 2003 G35 Coup." Truly a great car; Fun, stylish, eye catching, powerful, smooth ride, excellent transmission using either automatic or optional manual. I will now make excuses to go to the store, taking "her" car,then logging 20 miles for a 3 mile round trip. Although I loved my 94 "40" Anniversary Corvette, the speed and handling of the G35 is (I truly believe)better than the Corvette. Having owned many fun, stylish or powerful cars, the G35 combines all three characteristics into one HOT CAR. We("SHE")LOVES our(HER) G35 Coup.

Great choice over Lexus ES330 - 2005 Infiniti G35
By kbar68 - May 29 - 2:20 amI did extensive research beween the G35 and Lexus ES330. I originally went to Lexus b/c of the brand name, but was told to also check out the G35. Im sure glad I did! The performance is outstanding, and the interior quality gives up nothing to Lexus. The ride is not quite as smooth or quiet, but the higher performance and sportier look more than make up for it. I highly recommend you check this vehicle out when shopping the entry-luxury category.

Very Sweet - 2005 Infiniti G35
By aero2law - May 18 - 7:26 amI bought my coupe last month with all the bells and whistles. The cars a dream to drive, and it turns heads. As an engineer myself, I have a special appreciation for the challenges associated with successfully blending form and substance. Infinitis designers have achieved a wonderful balance between the cars appearance and performance. I was originally considering the BMW330i; but a test drive of both cars, along with the G35s appearance won me over to the G35. The slight difference in price of the two cars was not a factor in my decision.

The G35 Is Infiniti-ly Magnificent! ;) - 2005 Infiniti G35
By G35-4-ever - March 31 - 8:26 pmThis car is simply amazing!! We test drove everything in this class to be sure the G35 was "the one." Absolutely NOTHING compared, in look, feel or drive. The G35 sedan is drop-dead gorgeous outside. The inside is even nicer. The seats feel like Im driving from my couch! No more fights for the center armrest. ;) The instrument panels are cleanly arranged, giving the "featurey" feel we adore, without being fussy or complicated. At the same time the car exudes luxury, it drives like a race car! The sounds it makes are intoxicating. So is the speed! Left plenty a bigger engine in the dust, smoothly purring on past. Fast, smooth, and sleek, the G35 is definitely the best of both worlds!

Love this car! - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Lauren B - March 19 - 9:03 amI LOVE my G. I have had no problems at all with this car and Im nearing 30,000 miles. The seats are very comfy and the car is roomy enough even for my 220 lb, 6-foot-2 husband. It handles well and I drive like a demon. The gas mileage isnt great but Ill take it for the performance. I put 2 MTX 10" subwoofers in the trunk (and an 800 watt amp) a year ago with still not a vibration from anywhere. The things I would change are minor. I get many compliments on my G and would recommend to anyone - for the price I dont think you can beat it.

Performance and Value at its best - 2005 Infiniti G35
By BlackG - March 17 - 8:20 amThe 6MT G35 coupe has the perfect balance of luxury and performance. You can easily cruise around the city with the quietness and quality feel of luxury with a nice low hum of the exhaust reminding you that there is an animal inside when pushed. The car is smooth but can be rough at times (sport- tuned suspension and 19" rims) but I love the feel of the road, I feel so connected. The engine response is immediate and braking is superb. Handling is on par with the best in its class. Dont expect this car to have the luxury feel of a Lexus (interior- wise and quiet) it wasnt design that way and Infiniti did a great job balancing both performance and luxury. Its all about the experience.

Exhilerating Ride on a G35 - 2005 Infiniti G35
By GeesG35 - February 23 - 7:20 amLove the design. Performance is beyond what I expected. Gets looks on the street all the time. Underappreciated speed. Mustag sound with BMW handling.

Best Bang for your Buck - 2005 Infiniti G35
By J B - February 2 - 1:30 amWhile researching mid-size sedans under $35,000, I found that the 2005 G35 sedan is "hands down" the best value. While in all honesty I would rather be driving the BMW 3 series, by the time you add on all the features that come standard on the G35 (such as leather) to the 3 series, youre looking at at least a $5,000 difference. The G35s handling, while not as tight as the BMWs, is quite capable of almost anything you can throw at it. All in all, if youre looking to stay under $35k, the G35 is your best bet. I am very happy with the G35s handling, acceleration, and appearance.
