  • Fun - Great Value - Nav Needs Work - 2008 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I looked hard at BMW, Audi and Infiniti when I was looking for a new car. Each had similar driving characteristics, but I ended up with the G35 because of the value of the content for the price. Living in Minnesota, the AWD feature was important, and the addition of the Premium, Navigation and Sport packages the price just couldnt be beat. Great linear acceleration with the right sounds. Sticky in the corners with the granny system on, but easy hang the rear out when you turn it off. Beautiful looks outside, nice inside. AWD is great in the winter with the all-seasons. The nav system is restricted from most functions when the car is in motion thanks to the lawyers - really annoying.

    Step on the gas and this car takes off like it is jet propelled. The back up camera and navigation system are valuable assets and should be standard on every car. The finish, the ride and the quality are unbelievable. Every place we go we get stares and people stop us and tell us how much they love the car.

    Held off on commenting until I hit the 5000 mile marker. First interior is well done and attractive. However, I find the engine with the automatic is poorly done. The sport shift is comical with down shifts that dont make sense especially at lower speeds. Handling is ok, but not great, the review in edmunds is bang on - artificial. Brakes are spongy and translate road feel through the wheel which I find disconcerting. Fuel economy is brutal. I drive mostly highway and I havent broken 18 MPG even with heavy use of cruise control. There is a reason why everything is compared to the BMW... it is far superior. Finish is suspect. Already have rubber coming off my driver side door.

    Had a Mercedes ML500 that was dead in the garage 3 times with only 23000 miles on it. Had to change cars. I had Infinitis before and they were all great, never any problems and great dealer service. This g35x is the best one yet. I love driving it and it has so many great tech items on the car.

    More comfy than Lexus IS and more sporty than ES 350. Audi, BMW & MB cant compare in terms of value/performance.

    My wife and I purchased the car the last week of Aug. The G35 was an excellent choice over the Lexus E350 and BMW i528. The car handles well and is fun to drive, also like all the features which are easy to reach. My 9 year old son loves it the most and prefers to sit in the front seat. Worth every penny!

  • 2008 Infiniti G35 is a perfect combo - 2008 Infiniti G35

    I bought the 2008 Infiniti G35 with the Premium/Nav/Sport packages. This is by far the most fun car Ive ever had the pleasure to drive. From the excellently designed body to the excellently detailed interior, this car has it all. It has a wonderful balance of luxury and sport mixed together. The interior is fantastic with the sport package if you like the more modern feel. If you like the luxury feel more, I would not get the sport package because the seats are firm but very solid. If you want a better performance, you need to get the sport package. Either way, this car is such a wonderful balance of both worlds. Excellent car!

    I bought the Infiniti in November of 2007. After a month of ownership I love the car. The features and their accessibility are exemplary. The iPod connectivity allows me to access all the directories of the iPod via the touch screen (and steering wheel controls). The options I bought were the Premium Package, and Navigation.

  • G35x sport package - 2008 Infiniti G35

    Dealership brought out our 2005 TSX lease and looking for something with more torque and horsepower. Came down between TL-S or G35x, finally decided on a G35X w/sport package, premium pack, and nav. We didnt want to go through the rattling problem with Honda cars. Love the sporty look of the G35X with the 18" rim and the safty of all-wheel drive living here in jersey. So far no complain, we had three honda automobiles and this car feels much tighter build. No more rattle from my previous two cars (tsx and accord). Looking forward to drive it everyday. Cant wait pass the 500 break-in miles and let the throttle open on the highway.

    I was not going to try this car even cause of its offbeat styling. But, I test drove it. My bad! I had to buy it. A Japanese car with German performance. No brainer. At times, I think that I shouldve bought the BMW for the brand recognition, but then I remind myself of my past unreliable experiences with the Bimmer. All in all, this is a fabulous car to drive.
