Great Purchase - 2008 Infiniti G35
By R.S. - September 18 - 3:06 amPurchased our vehicle last week, the wife and I absolutely love it! It is very responsive, and has a nice smooth ride. The acceleration is outstanding, as well as all the bells and whistles. Love the voice recognition, blue tooth, and navigation. It is a bit annoying that you cannot input directions on the nav while on the move, but well get over it. If you are in the market to purchase a car, I recommend you take a look at this car. There is not a vehicle out there that has the features that the G35 comes with at such an affordable price. Awesome job Infiniti!

What a car! - 2008 Infiniti G35
By Maniac - September 13 - 10:33 amI have owned quite a few sedans over the years and this one is my favorite by far. I just traded in my Dodge Charger R/T for this 2008 G35X (w/ Premium & Nav), and I have to say this sedan absolutley kills my dodge in every way (including performance). Being a computer consultant, I love all of the technology packed into the car. Voice commands actually work like you expect them to, the backup camera is awesome, iPod integration rocks. I could go on and on. Performance is great for a sedan like this. Faster than my hemi dodge for sure. The AWD is amazing and seamless. I feel like Im driving a RWD with LOADS of grip. Much safer for my wife to drive in the wet and snow!

Better overall than 335xi - 2008 Infiniti G35
By piredon - July 17 - 12:10 amTest drove the 335xi as a benchmark. Its a great driving car, but the inputs are all touchy and the interior made me feel claustrophobic, and its pretty barren. G35 wasnt on the top of my list, simply because Ive never cared for Nissan products in the past. But I told myself to give it a try, and boy am I glad I did. This car has a far nicer interior than the Bimmer, more features for less money, and achieves 95% of the performance without a turbo. Handling is spot on, although steering could use some work. Ride is firm, but body motions are well controlled and bumps are noticeable rather than jarring. This thing wants to be driven hard. I just wish we had no speed limit.

Hard to Resist - 2008 Infiniti G35
By Terry - June 29 - 7:30 pmWe test drove a lexus IS 250, 2009 Maxima and the Infiniti G35 with AWD. Could not believe the feeling you get from driving this car. While gas mileage is subpar, my feeling is that I did not buy this car with the gas mileage as the primary concern. Love the Nav system, AWD, as we live in the Northeast and the looks I get when I pull into a parking space. Highway driving is fun as the car has a tight feel to it and is very responsive. By far the best car and value in its class.

Best Bang for the Buck! - 2008 Infiniti G35
By Cory - March 16 - 4:53 amI am very particular about certain things and my car is one of them. I traded in an 06 Honda Accord V6 for this 08 G35 Sedan Sport. I did a lot of research and test driving (Lexus IS 350, BMW 335i), but I was always partial to the Infiniti G35. I love the exhaust note!! This was a no brainer. The Lexus and Bimmer were $7k and $10k more respectively with the same options. I got mine fully loaded. The car has wicked acceleration! The quality of the materials inside the cabin are better than expected. The paddle shifters work great in manual shift mode. I recommend going for a test drive, but be warned... you will be hooked :-)

Family Sport Sedan - 2008 Infiniti G35
By BSmith - February 27 - 8:13 pmThis is an excellent choice for anyone wanting a performance sedan thats usable in daily life. The performance is stunning, but it seats four comfortably and has a reasonable trunk. The suspension is more sporty than luxury. Selectable comfort/sport suspension settings would be nice. Overall, this is one of the best cars you can get on a "normal" budget.

Best Nissan Product Yet! - 2008 Infiniti G35
By cd_moreno - February 20 - 6:40 pmWOW! That is all I can say, this is my fourth Nissan product Ive owned. When I was in the market for something new, I knew G35 was at the top of my list. I picked up a G35 X with the newly delivered Sport package. What an amazing vehicle. Tight suspension, steering, incredible features, fun to drive. Gas mileage is really bad but I dont care because every time I drive this car the smile on my face is priceless, acceleration is amazing and even though this car is extremely heavy, it hides its pounds. Incredible styling, beautiful to look at. The best purchase I have ever made.

Wow! Drive it before you buy an Audi/BMW - 2008 Infiniti G35
By LRV - February 13 - 11:40 pmAbsolutely fabulous, and a huge step forward from the 2003 G35 my wife drives. The interior is just below Lexus level, but not by much. The premium navigation/commmunications package is truly wonderful. The engine has rocketship thrust, even if its a little unrefined compared to BMW, Lexus and Audi. I have been averaging 20 mpg on the highway, and am driving like a regular guy-- nothing too crazy, and not like Grandpa. If you can, get the sports package just for the seats if nothing else. Bar raised!

Just go and drive one with all the toys - 2008 Infiniti G35
By Dallas - February 12 - 11:43 amI have been driving high performance Benz and BMW for years, but had the itch for more room and luxury without giving up performance. I am past the days of status statements with automobiles and started my search from behind the wheel test driving cars with a budget of 55K. In the end the G35S was the car, it delivers more luxury and features than the BMW 5s and better performance and features than the Benz Es, all for just under 40K with all options.

G35 Journey w/ Premium Package - 2008 Infiniti G35
By Mark D - January 9 - 8:16 amIm very happy with our purchase. Yes, mileage is not that great, but its still better than my truck, and theres more horsepower too. My lone complaint is that its primarily my wifes daily driver and not mine! But thats hardly Infinitis fault.
