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.

Well priced luxury - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Frank Saulnier - October 16 - 10:23 pmThis vehicle is the best on the market when considering the entire package of all inckuded features. It is a saving to able to get a well built car at no extra cost for the 280 hp, the leather seats, and many other features. The ride is extraordinary on long distance, very comfortable for the front and rear passengers. It is overall a nice practical luxury car at an affordable price. Tgis is the best of the three Infinitis that I have owned.

This car has everything - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Mike - September 13 - 3:33 amBelieve all the reviews. I traded in my 325i for this and never looked back. It has everything the BMW had plus 100 hp and a better warranty! Firm comfortable ride, tons of features, all wheel drive that stays out of the way when you dont need it, and raw power. This is a beautiful car that has evolved over the last 3 years. The interior is much better laid out and they added 20 hp to bring it up to 280. The intelligent key system that comes with the premium package is a must have. Youll never fumble for your keys again! Do not buy an entry level luxury car untill youve tried one of these. To top it off, the dealer experience was excellent.

G35 coupe - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Andre Giddarie - August 28 - 1:56 pmThe G35 coupe can be fast or luxurious depending on your preference or driving style. The powerful V6 and sporty exhaust burble are a constant reminder that this car has high performance levels on par with that of purpose built sports cars like the 350Z, or Mazda Rx8. Midrange power is outstanding and the long wheel base and stiff chassis gives confidence during hard cornering. The car also has an elegant and ssophisticated feel or demeanor. The slow rifle bolt 6 speed shifter, weighty steering feel and slightly soft brake pedal leans more towards luxury than sport. However, this allows the powerful car to be driven very smoothly and adds grace to its movements.

My third Infiniti - 2005 Infiniti G35
By jim Carella - July 11 - 3:26 pmGreat package of performance, reliability, fun to drive and saftey all rolled up in one car. I have driven over 240,000 trouble free miles in my three Infiniti cars and could not be more pleased.

One Month Review - G35x - 2005 Infiniti G35
By gmk519 - May 20 - 2:20 pmBefore buying my G35x, I looked at the A4, S60, 330, and Passat GLX. All of them were equipped with AWD and priced around $35k. With the exception of the BMW, none handled or responded like the G35. The BMW handled superbly, but was priced thousands more after similar options. In addition, Infiniti has made several improvements in the 05 G35. The steering wheel controls now illuminate, the wheel and telescope are now power with memory seat, hp was upped to 280. The interior was also improved in-terms of visual appeal and overall quality. This car is an excellent blend of both luxury and performance. You wont find a better sports sedan in this price range.

best bang for the buck - 2005 Infiniti G35
By bankerboy - May 7 - 7:46 amWhat an incredible vehicle: sharp styling, 298hp, 6 speed manual and 26mpg on the highway were strong selling points for me. Then I drove it and I was sold--this car is powerful and its handling is incredibly tight. The car is the best value out there and youre only paying in the low 30s for it. If youre looking at Mercedes or BMW, look to spend 50k for a comparably equipped vehicle. I love my Infiniti so far.

age is but a number - 2005 Infiniti G35
By MARYANN RANDISI - April 26 - 7:03 amThis g-35 coupe is my second in one year. I was involved in a serious accident where i was broad sided on the passenger side. The door was completely sheared off. I was saved by the heavy steel bars installed by their manufacturer. They had to be sawed off. Air bags to the side of me went off, along with above the door where glass shattered. Officers were so amazed of this vehicles safety feature, they were asking my son, what make of car was is? The car was totalled.

Love My Car - 2005 Infiniti G35
By Trooper - April 22 - 12:46 pmMy G35x is a blast to drive. It handles great and is very fast. I love the rear, reclining seats for back-seat comfort. The interior is not that gaudy shiny plastic wood stuff everywhere, in fact, since the car is sporty, I opted to skip any wood interior. I find everything within reach and very accessible. I opted for the aero package. Cruising down the road at 85 is like a dream. I love this car.
