  Seems to be better with age - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By paulo6 - October 30 - 12:50 am

  Just hit 4K miles and got the 1st oil change. I got the Sport package. The car seems to now loosen up a bit, giving it a higher FUN-TO-DRIVE. My 2006 6MT was more fun to drive, but this 09 xS edition is slowly catching up

  Defective G35S - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By peter - February 21 - 3:33 pm

  This G35S with summer tires would not survive in a snow storm. Im battling with Nissan with a suspension, steering or tracking problem as this car is way too sensitive to road crown compared to every car Ive driven, it drives straight in the right lane but would crash into the woods next to the left lane as soon as the hands are off the steering wheel, after alignment done on it 3 times, Nissan is refusing to acknowledge this quality defect while all 3 of their loaner cars Ive driven drove without this problem, I would trade it in for an AWD especially living in the NE, a RWD just wont cut it in snow. Its worse than a Maxima SE, dont waste your money

  Over Rated - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Fergus - February 18 - 1:20 am

  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.

  Bought it used and love it - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Nito - January 18 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a 2008 in 2010 to replace my 2006 ML 350 because it wasnt very fun to drive. This G35 has been so much more fun. Dont know what I was thinking when I bought the MB. I hated driving when I had it. This car has restored my love of driving. Best car Ive owned so far.

  Wow!! What a Ride - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By DrewI - November 29 - 9:13 pm

  Finally pulled the plug on buying a new 2008 Journey with the Sport package, nav, premium. What a blast to drive and what a beauty to look at. Better yet, this probably is the most intuitively designed drivers cockpit that Ive seen. My friends who have BMWs are still trying to learn how to work their nav while Im burning CDs onto my in-car jukebox without a users manual. Amazing! The best steering wheel you can imagine. If youre thinking about buying this car, do it.

  Better overall than 335xi - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By piredon - July 17 - 12:10 am

  Test 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 pm

  We 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.

  Wow! Drive it before you buy an Audi/BMW - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By LRV - February 13 - 11:40 pm

  Absolutely 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!

  Not What I thought It Was - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Doc. D - September 29 - 5:40 am

  I bought this car used thinking that it would be the best car that I would ever own. It turned out to be ok, but was a big let down. Driving it off the lot I felt great I thought it was a reliable car for my wife. In the Arkansas rain my wife hydroplaned and ended up in on coming traffic. The so called traction that this car has is supposed to help it stay on the road but it doesnt and when the slip light comes on you are already all over the road I thought it was just my wife driving bought some $1000 tires to go on there to make sure she was safe and then it happened to me but I was able to keep control of the car. AC runs very loud.

  Head Turner - 2008 Infiniti G35
  By Pete Bennett - May 27 - 6:23 pm

  Just hit the 5,000 mile mark and love the car more and more each day. I receive so many compliments on the car with most indicating that the car must have been very expensive based on its looks. People assume this car was very expensive even though its priced at or below the price of the vehicle they are actually driving themselves.
