  The Perfect (Luxurious) Sports Car - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By jagguar - May 12 - 3:26 am

  I wasnt originally looking for a car in this class but when I saw all the features I just couldnt help myself. I was looking for a fun sporty car and this is exactly that, but with a lot of luxury thrown in as well. Its comparable to the BMW 335i (better IMHO) in performance, comfort, and luxury. It has virtually all the luxury features of $50k+ luxury cars. If youre looking for a car thats fun to drive, the G35 is unrivaled. And it fits 5 people comfortably too! The clutch is stiff but easy to get used to. And I strongly suggest spending the extra 5k to get the nav. All the features that comes with it are awesome! I wish I got the tech package.

  A Pleasure to Drive - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Rob - February 8 - 8:50 am

  This car is for people who love to drive. Acceleration is fantastic. Handling and braking are smooth. Very tight turning radius for a car this size. Road noise is a little more prevalent than in competitors models, but not bad overall. You can feel the transmission shifts a bit. This car has a lot of power for a 5-speed. Likely corrected with the 7-speed in the 09. For me, the MPG has been trending at 17 over the first two months of ownership. Im a little on the aggressive side, but previous cars havent penalized me as much as this one does.

  08 G35xS - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Mark - February 4 - 11:50 pm

  Trading in my 2005 G35 6MT that I upgraded from 298HP to 350HP for a 2008 G35xS was a bit concerning because I wanted the same horse power feel and was concerned the sedan would lack the feeling one with the car experience. I also needed something for winter. I will say Im really surprised by how responsive the automatic 306HP of the sedan deploys itself. Having said that, I HIGHLY recommend anyone getting this car to the G35xS, which adds the 18" wheels and the paddle shifters. I will say the car comes to life when in manual mode, much differently then just driving in automatic. With that I will say Im quite happy and the car now provides the same confidence my previous G did.

  I like it better than my BMW - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Karl - February 3 - 1:20 am

  Hadnt planned on buying the G35 - always lusted after it, though. I bought an 06 325i. Frustrated, dumped it in 08, too many trips to the shop! Looked at the Maxima (never a fan, but liked the new look in 09) LOVED it, but couldnt pay $37K--more than the G. Drove the G, power kicks the 325. Who needs this sort of power? The brakes, lovely, the growl, exhilarating and no tranny lag when punched. Smooth, sure footed (though not as much on mountain roads as the BMW) and quiet. The drive train hump encroaches into the foot-well so front passengers left leg/foot tilts at an odd angle. Front doors close solidly, rear doors sound tinny.

  My New G - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Boston Infiniti - February 2 - 10:30 am

  Traded in a Nissan Murano (wanted something a little more sporty) and have been extremely impressed with the performance of this car. Ride is sporty without being too firm and the fit and finish is fantastic throughout. If youre looking at this car, I highly recommend the navigation package as the Music Box hard drive (stores music to the car) is a great feature. The only downside to this package is the trunk-mounted cd changer that takes up valuable trunk space. Overall this is a great alternative to the BMW 3 series and the value factor can not be beat.

  2008 Infiniti G35 is the perfect combo - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Lance - January 29 - 2:53 am

  I am so excited about this car. It offers a perfect combination of modern luxury with a perfect sport feel to it. The power is excellent and handles the road with ease. I cant say I test drove any of the other comparable cars but I didnt get that far because the G35 was the first car I drove and I was sold instantly. I went all out and got the Sport/Navigation/Premium package with the spoiler. I love the spoiler. It adds a perfect but not tacky touch. The technology is awesome and I feel like Im in a space rocket. To me, this car looks best with a black exterior but thats just my opinion.

  Disappointed Gadget Guy - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Disappointed Buyer - November 20 - 2:53 am

  This is a great looking car with good performance but my main reason for buying it was all the gadgets that come with the car. The problem is many of these gadgets get locked out while driving. You cant make changes to the navigation system while driving. How crazy is that! Where would you use your navigation system, in your driveway? The car allows you to sync your phone book from your cell phone to the car but you cant use the sync phone book to place calls while driving. When would you use this, in your driveway again! Infiniti is doing this in the name of safety but a car companys job is not to play big brother.

  Not a German car - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By DannoK - November 9 - 10:00 am

  Seems obvious, right? The car has been way more reliable than the German cars Ive owned, but the build quality seems below their standards. Its 2.5 years old now and the dash above the steering wheel is warping, the rubber gaskets around the doors are starting to crack and there are wear marks on the rubber coated parts of the steering wheel, and no, I dont wear any rings! Its a great drive, though! Always plenty of power, plenty of gadgets and very reliable.

  Not so great as expected, but still... - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Shpyntik - October 11 - 5:23 am

  Im a little disappointed by my G35S. Its a great car with an excellent engine, nice interior, great exterior, all the gadgets and a posh sound system. But it has several HUGE flaws - horrible transmission and clutch! First of all it is VERY hard to launch it smoothly and quetly, too much throttle and it surges like a bull, too little and it shakes like its got an overdose. Let go throttle at 1st gear and instead of slow smooth engine braking you get uneven and abrupt deceleration, horrible feeling (and you look like a fool too). Second - very LOUD drivetrain noise. Third - under hard acceleration the car starts to shake violently, as the tires gain and loose the grip, very disappointing.
