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.

  • Paint issues - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    As soon as I started driving this car I noticed chip marks on the front end. As I continued to drive there were more chip marks. The car is red with a white primer so the chips are very noticeable. I contacted the dealer who stated that because the nose of the car is very low to the ground it will pick up lots of road debris. I have owned many cars previous to this one and have never experienced this much damage is such a short period of time. With less than 10K on the car there are over 26 chips on the front end-some very noticeable. Its almost like the paint flecks off.

    Ive owned my 2005 G35 sedan 6 speed manual since January 2005, currently have just over 11,500 miles on it. I have had no problems of any type. Car handles and performs as advertised, highway driving is a real pleasure - plenty of power and quite nimble for a sedan. Its the most comfortable car Ive ever owned, leather interior is great. Gas mileage could be better but with 298HP, Im satisfied. I would rate it a 9.0 and thats only because I dont believe in 10s; you have to leave room for some improvement. The trunk would be a bit small if you plan on hauling around a family of four of five though.

  • 2006 G35x, fun to drive - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I bought my G35x with 68K miles on it in May of 2011. It is a fun car to drive and is extremely stable in rain and snow. My wife drove it on her vacation and hit a lot of rain. When she got back she did not want to give the car back to me. I had to have a tie rod replaced ($165) and scheduled maintenance required that fluid for the transmission, transfer case, and both differentials be replaced along with a radiator flush which cost me $650. Also the Bose CD changer died and I had to replace it with an aftermarket system ($400 which I installed myself). The aftermarket Pioneer actually sounds better. I will need to replace the Dunlop tires after 30K miles partially due to the AWD.

  • Can someone say Fun! - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Having the chance to wake up every morning and open the gargage door to see the beautiful sight of a metal machine. Not just any machine but one of the best coupes out there under 35k. The power, sound, and enjoyment of driving it makes the g35 the best coupe hands down. Being able to hit those corners with percise turns and the growl of the exhaust as it passes you is amazing. INfiniti ROcks!

  • From Lexus SC 430 to this - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I had purchased a Lexus SC 430 in 2002 and I only had to date (8.26.06) 32,000 miles but I was needed more room in a vehicle and leaving in Florida we have alot of rain and the traction wasnt stable enough to go over 80 on the hwy. I get a new car every so often but I loves this convertible, hence I kept it so long. I went car shopping today and drove a Lexus Es 300, Acura TL and others. I was upside down on my car and dealer gave me the best deal. I bought the G 35 Sedan Premium package and I love it! What a sturdy ride and turns great while driving fast. I am so in love with this car, not just for the money, but quality and resilience. This is a definite awesome buy!

  • AIR BAG ISSUES-EXPENSIVE to REPAIR - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have a 2006 Infiniti G35 that has 53k miles on it. All services have been performed though not through the dealer. My supplemental airbag light came on at just under 53k miles.The dealership quoted $2700.00 to repair. I almost fainted! Come to find out that ONLY the dealership can fix this as they do not sell the parts. RIP OFF! The car has never been in an accident and air bag has never deployed. Shame on Infiniti!

  • Poor brake life - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    My brakes needed to be replaced at 12,500 miles and Infiniti would not stand behind their product even though prior years models had a similar problem and they extended the warranty to cover these owners. According to my dealer, Infiniti feels they have resolved this problem to their satisfaction. I will not lease or puchase another Infiniti ever again.

  • BMWs nighmare has arrived - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    When I was 2 months shy of turning my leased BMW I didnt even think about looking elsewhere, since it was my 3rd 3-series in a row and I loved it. However, the neighboor of mine had just purchased the G35 asked if Id like to test drive a real muscle car... Yeah, right ??? Boy, was I surprised to admit it seemed at least twice as powerful as my BMW was. Well, I figured the all new 330 will prove me wrong. Unfortunately, it didnt :((( Not to mentioned the not-so-good- looking shape lots of folks are complaining about this time around. As before handled corners well, but didnt come even close to the overall performance of the G35. Hate to admit by my loyaltys been stolen by Infinity !!!

  • Great Experience So Far - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Amazing drive, terrific exterior (love the curves). I am very happy with my purchase. A little low on gas mileage but its probably because its more solid, larger and safer than others
