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.

  • Youth Recaptured - 2006 Infiniti G35

    I liked my 2003 G35 so much I traded for a 2006 just like it. The most noticeable difference: the brakes are just as powerful but no longer hyper- sensitive, i.e. grabby. Maneuverability and instant throttle response make highway or city driving a delight...at any speed (I had the 2003 up to 120 mph once - I wont tell you where - and it felt rock-solid). I enjoy the 2006s added features - high intensity headlights, dual-zone a/c, power passenger seat, and garage door opener, but theyre "gravy" on what was already a wonderfully thought out car. It "fits like a glove," seats four comfortably, and looks the way a sport sedan ought to look. At 68 I feel young again.

    Draws looks and positive comments $40k No seat memory. Visibility so-so Quickness average. Seat belt awkward. Rides better with the winter tires (17") than the 19" wheels. Have not figured out the navigation system yet. Wife loves the color (slate).

  • Pitfalls - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    By the time I hit 50,000 The main computer, Blue Tooth, and CD player had to be replaced. At 67,000 the passenger side airbag and seatbelt sensor had to be replaced. That repair didnt solve the problem so the seat had to be replaced. The seat was a $4,000 seat. The dealer did replace the seat free of charge because of my service history. I switched from a Volvo to the Infiniti hoping it would be more reliable but that has not been the case. The car is comfortable and drives well but I would not purchase another one. My dealer has been great.

  • Bye Bye BMW - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I read a review of the G35x before I purchased it in which the reviewer said, "I just bought a G35X, can someone please wipe the smile off my face?" I bought the car and cant think of a better way to recommend it. Driving this car is like driving a space shuttle. It handles, it accelerates, and it makes you feel like driving. I now look at the BMW 3 Series cars I passed over for this one and thank myself again and again for doing so. As far as a driving experience goes for a luxury sports sedan goes, it just can;t get any better than this.

  • Best Car Ive Owned - 2006 Infiniti G35

    First car Ive owned that I can truly say its worth every penny out of my pocket...I truly believe in this product and my next car is going to be another G35 coupe....2009 model.

  • Fun to drive - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I love this car. I usually get a new car ever four years or so but I am planning on keeping this car for at least one and maybe two more years. It has great power, and the handling is excellent. All with decent fule economy. In 1965 I had a GTO with tri power carbs and a four speed manual transmission. My G35 would run rings around the GTO in every department including acceleration. Amazing for a 6 cylinder car.

  • Great Car! - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Very nice power with the 3.5L V6 @ 280hp also handles well. Ive been avg. 22-24 MPG.

  • 2006 Infiniti G35 4dr - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Excellent power and great handling characteristics. Exterior design is attractive, but not drop dead gorgeous like the coupe. I really like the modern dash treatment. The motorized pop-up nav system is also a really neat feature since I prefer not to see the screen unless I need directions (in my opinion its a shame this wont be carried over in the 2007 redesign). Some people have complained about the quality of the interior materials and I have to agree that that was one things that held me back from buying this car in 2003 and 2004, but Infiniti has done a lot to remedy this complaint in 2006. I wont say that the interior is up to Audi quality, but it doesnt feel cheap anymore.

  • Japanese Muscle Car - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Ownership period-2months milage driven - 1000 mi. Car is definitely a looker. Styling is very mature and will age well. Still in break in period but can feel the engine has immense torque reserves for a V6, and do not doubt the upper end hp. rush due to the smootheness of Nissans VQ series engine. Handling is netural and precise with no front end ploughing or rear end losseness. Steering a tad heavy but lighten up nicely at speeds. With the 17 wheels & long w/base, ride is more supple and comfortable than expected. Car is more elemental and raw in nature compared to a Lexus/Acura. Almost like a very well build Japanese muscle car.

  • LOVE IT - 2006 Infiniti G35
    By -

    Ive had this car for about a year now and I still love it. This car is not for everyone. If you typically drive SUVs or Accords you will hate this car. If you are an enthusiast you will never want to get out of it. Some people may have only bought it because of its sexy look and are not people who want a drivers car. It has loud tires, stiff ride and is small. In return you get a car with tight, predictable handling and a sweet exhaust note that will always put a smile on your face.
