This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, balanced and capable handling, roomy cabin, reasonable price.
Cons:
  • Average interior materials quality, touchy brakes.

    car is superb. power is excellent. the biggest surprise is the handling. the car goes around corners like it is on rails. i recommend the sport tuned suspension. the 18" wheels look the business. ride is firm but not too harsh. cant see the sense in paying the extra 10 to 15 grand for comparable BMW performance.

    Okay, so this car is amazing. First of all, I bought this for a good price. Its an 05 Infiniti G35 coupe. Its got dual exhaust which brings the horse power to 285. Great on highways, very loud. Leather interior touch screen GPS built in. I have a 70.000 mile warranty on her :) Brakes are great. This car has so much power I cant even go an hour without driving her. I got a Blue one with a cream strip. The engine is perfect and the alarm on it is great. If someone even gets close to my car my remote will tell me to go out and check it, so high tech! I highly recommend this car, classy sexy and with the perks of a nice fast sports car. You wont regret it!

  • G35X fun! Fun! Fun!! - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    My G35X is a sleek powerful driving machine. This is the first performance vehicle I have ever owned and I LOVE it. The look, style & appearence deceives the unaware of the power and handling in the X model. The keyless entry & ignition to the wrap-around console & driver seat make the driver feel confortable & in control. The throaty sound at start to the powerful accelaration makes driving this car FUN! There is plenty of head & leg room, reclining seats in the back & I upgraded to the Bose sound system. The rosewood console & leather bucket seats give the interior a finished look. The brakes are touchy until you adjust to them & the materials on the dash arent of the highest quality

    While a fun car to drive, there are numerous troubles for a luxury sport coupe. The black paint is inferior, and worst of all, the dealer and Nissan says it is fine, though mentioning their paints require "lots of polish." Trouble with the seatbelt (jams in one position) was not handled by Orlando infinity. I now have trouble with the CD player and am convinced Orlando Infinity will say its okay.

    OK I traded my FX35 which I owned for 6 months, liked it. I wanted something sporty and quick. Reseached the anniv.Z, Mazda RX8, BMW 3 & Crossfire.The obvious was the G355M.Great styling and it is quick, as fast as the Z with more comfort and function.No sunroof in the Z.Rx8 too slow,BMW too over priced for what you get, not to mention the service costs.Crossfire cool design and very quick,but Chrysler service is notorius for being poor and they hate to do warrenty work.

  • Too many problems - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Im not happy with the car after almost two years. The mileage is horrible (15 mpg) and the brakes have been replaced twice already at 18,000 miles. The cd changer has gone out twice and the tires are cupping and making lots of noise. Since the backs are a different size and they are unidirectional, they cant be rotated. Road noise is very loud from the tires. Im ready to sell it.

  • G35 MT6 - The poor mans M3? - 2005 Infiniti G35

    Sexiest style on the road. Makes BMW look dated and appear under-powered. For 2005, Infiniti ups the power to 298hp from its naturally aspirated VQ series V6. Why cant bimmer and Audi do this?

    This car is fast and a great handler. The standard radio is pathetic! Spend a $1000 on a new system and you will be better off than the upgraded radio which also stinks.

    Love this car. Tires are expensive and services are expensive. I have the 6MT and havent had any problems with it. Only to replace the battery and the driver side window motor all covered by the warranty @ 35,000 miles. Fun to drive and enough room to bring my luggage for trips. Beats the automatic cars any day. Excellent engine, smooth sound. Love the exhaust growl as well.

  • 2005 G35X AWD - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    After months of research and many test drives I reduced my list to two vehicles, the Acura TL (04 or 05) & the 2005 G35X. I decided I wanted AWD and picked the Infiniti. I still wasnt sure until I took delivery and drove the car several hundred miles. The G35 is a drivers car, great performance, precise handling, a mechanical purr that is music to the ears for people who engine driving and performance. I love this car and I now realize I made the correct choice. IF you like driving and IF you enjoy the sounds a performance type vehicle should emit, this could be the vehicle for you. I bought this car at Ray Catena Infiniti in Edison NJ and must say it was the best buying experince ever.
