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.

  • Autocross your G35 - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Get out there and autocross your G35, it is a blast, and the car is very competitive even with the length of the wheel base. I have run twice in the last couple of weeks and finished ahead of all but one 350Z, all the Mustangs and Camaros and all the most of the Corvettes. A word of warning, the stock tires on the 19 inch wheels are no match for the power exiting corners, get some Kumhos 710 on 9 x 18 in the front and 10 x 18 in the rear and strap yourself in for a great time. Take off the traction control and go Z hunting.

    Fun to Drive if you can stand the rattles from the windows, FSBs on the 03/04/05s but not yet on the 06s, Infiniti denies there is any issues on the 06s and will not repair. Infiniti knew there were problems for 3 years and contiuned to sell these cars and did nothing to fix the rattles.

    My 2006 G35 sedan is the sickest car I have had yet. I added a cone free-flow filter and took out the original box. It sounds good. I also notice some more power. The Eibach springs really help for cornering and braking along with a very nice ride, the faster you go, the smoother it gets! The traction control works well with the drive-by-wire by cutting engine power to perfectly hold a turn, when it senses the tires are hooking up again, it hammers the power back in pushing you to your seat, getting your heart rate up, adrenaline flowing, and after the turn is over, the sweats and tingles! A wild rush. The seats are wonderful. Plenty of power. Gas mileage is not too good if you get on it!!

  • OMG!!!! Yes Yes - 2006 Infiniti G35

    Bought used with 12k in 2007, now has 42k &love it.Has every available option.Tight twisty roads are a dream to drive.Made many people scream railing into a corner then laugh like a kid with thrill that the car stayed planted firm and ready for more. Amazing brakes will force the blood to your cheeks.Dealer support is far superior to my piece of junk BMW.Called dealer to see about a warning light and techs very helpful, just needed brake pads (oem only $82),brake sensor is well designed also has built in tool on rotor that will release rotor in seconds.Installed cold air intake, it added noticeably more power on bottom and sounds sweet!No problems.Bose audio is great with no distortion at loud levels.

  • 108K Miles Later... still a blast - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Purchased our G new off the lot nearly 6 years ago. Premium package, no nav. The car has been a rock and has survived our abuse and aged quite gracefully. No major repairs needed to date. Fuel consumption is probably the only major knock against the car, everything else is quite good. This car is my daily driver, and I drive it hard. I prefer sportiness over cush rides, but still like a bit of luxury so this car really fit the bill. The handling is excellent, the balance is good, and easy to know where the limits are. Now that the car has aged and the values have dropped quite a bit, I would suggest anyone looking for a fun daily driver or second semi-practical car to look into the G.

  • best styling - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I had a choice to either buy a Lexus IS350 or a G35, but when it came to styling I choose the G35. It’s Fun to drive and one of the best coupes on the road. It’s fast, luxurious, and affordable. Every time I take the car out of the garage I get comments from everyone how nice my car is. I see myself keeping this car for a long time.

    Car is now 9 months old with 17K miles. Still great fun to drive, but with a few quibbles. Front passenger window shakes at 45+ mph. Radio reception is OK compared to 98 Acura TL I had before. Have smashed my hand between the gear shifter and the ashtray door when charging my phone in the ashtray (ouch!) Would highly recommend as a used car - so much fun!

  • Very Nice - 2006 Infiniti G35

    I have been a Lexus customer in the past, but they have nothing that compares to the G35 Coupe 6 Speed Manual. If you are buying this car, pass on the automatic. The car has zero snow handling ability though. We got a very light dusting the day after i picked it up, and the low profile tires on the 19 inch rims (6M, combined with the RWD, could not get me up a VERY slight incline. It is a BLAST to drive though - very quick and great looking.

  • Best Car I ever Had - 2006 Infiniti G35

    This is the best car I have ever had. I love everything about it. It has never broken down or given me any type of trouble whatsoever.

  • G35 Sedan 6MT - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I was looking for a car to replace my aging Acura Legend and 3000GT. After searching for the past two years, I finally pulled the trigger on the G35. Not only did we score a great deal on the car, the car is everything i hoped it would be. Once you turn off the VDS, the car is a total beast. the raw power merging onto the freeway took me by surprise and I wasnt even out of 3rd yet! Ive driven all of the top german makers before purchasing this car. If all of their efforts went into the power train, why is it that every other car i see on the side of the highway is of german make? Test drive this car, get on the freeway, get into 6th gear @65 and punch the gas. youll be sold.
