Make Overview:

Infiniti is an upscale automaker from Japan. Though most of its products are related to those sold by parent company Nissan, Infiniti looks to achieve a premium status by infusing its cars and SUVs with spirited performance and additional luxury content.

The brand was launched for the 1990 model year. Its purpose back then, as it is now, was to create premium vehicles for America that wouldn't have otherwise fit in with Nissan's more mainstream image. This was the same tactic Honda used for the creation of Acura, and Toyota for Lexus. In its first full year, Infiniti started out with two vehicles, the Q45 sedan and the M30 coupe and convertible. The compact, entry-level G20 was introduced soon after.

As the 1990s moved along, Infiniti slowly added more vehicles to its lineup. The Q45 luxury sport sedan found its market. The car's 278-horsepower V8 was class-leading in its day. On top of that, the Q45 offered cutting-edge technology such as an active suspension system. By the late '90s Infiniti had rolled out the QX4, an SUV based on the Pathfinder. The sport-ute's truck platform gave it a leg up in off-road performance relative to competing car-based SUVs.

Although Infiniti's sales grew steadily, the marque still fell short of both Lexus and Acura in terms of popularity. The early 2000s saw Infiniti making a determined effort to sharpen its focus and upgrade its products. But it was the introduction of the entry-level, midsize G35 in 2003 that finally gave Infiniti the boost and identity direction it sorely needed. Based on the same platform underpinning the Nissan 350Z, the G35 coupe and sedan met with immediate sales success. The FX35/FX45 soon followed -- a crossover SUV that provided spirited acceleration and sports-car handling with the utility of a wagon.

Today, Infiniti's lineup has expanded to include the G (now a sedan, coupe and convertible) and FX as well as the midsize M sedan, the EX small crossover SUV, the JX midsize crossover SUV and the QX large SUV. Infiniti has also introduced the M Hybrid sedan, its first hybrid vehicle. No matter the model, shoppers will find Infiniti's latest vehicles to be focused on luxury, sport, quality and value.

  • BMW who? - 2003 Infiniti G35

    What a value in comparison to the BMW.

  • Love this car - 2007 Infiniti M45
    By -

    I recently purchased this car and loved the way it handled. I just traveled from Florida to Virginia and back, and thats when I really appreciated the cars handling and features. The navigation system routed me differently than I usually go, and it turned out better. The steering control of the bluetooth phone, stereo, and cruise control was great. The gas mileage was a little lower (19.2 MPG) than I would like, but the power and comfort made it worthwhile.

  • Great enthusiasts car! - 2005 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I purchased this G35 4 DR 6M sedan privately in 2006. I had been watching the reviews through the magazines and was really impressed with the style, quality and performance for the money. When I drove the car in a road test, I was sold. It had 24,000 km. I have now driven it for over 3 years and still love every time I sit in the seat. It now shows 82,000 km on the clock and I have not had any significant issues to deal with. Sure the mileage isnt great, but it didnt buy it for its economy; but more for its performance and agility. Turn off the VDC (vehicle dynamic control) and you can turn this docile elite sedan into an adrenaline rush of acceleration. I love it as do passengers.

  • Fun Sedan - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I wasnt in a market for a car and I have always owned Nissan, but always wanted a G35. I bought my G35 for $3000 at 155000 miles because I know they last for very very long time. It has all the services done for the mileage on the car, Fully loaded nav (with 2008 updated disk $190), sunroof, reclining back seats, cd changer. I love how this thing drives after having a 155000 miles on it. It is still aggressive, when you step on it it moves. I have taken this car up to 125mph on a track with out a problem. All the feature works great without any problem. Even at 155000 miles, retail on this car is $11000. Over all I couldnt have asked for more, for the price I paid, it is a steal.

  • Best car I have ever owned! - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I have been buying cars about every 2 years for the last 32. I have owned BMWs, Porches, Corvettes, 300Z, IROC, Lexus, Honda, Toyota, ... This car combines the look and feel of the finer qualities of these cars. It is fun to drive with great handling and good quality (not quite to the German standard but at a much lower cost). I have tested a coupe and you can bet what my next car will be! As far as the rear wheel drive, I drove through 3 large snow storms with little difficulty and the traction system worked better then the BMWs that I traded. This is by far the best deal on the road today.

  • best for the price - 2003 Infiniti G35

    beautiful car with a beautiful ride and plenty of power

  • Silver Bullet - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    The car is the most fun car I have ever owned. I presently own a BMW 3 series and a Mustang 5.0. I previously owned a 1993 Mazda Rx7. The G35 wins hands down as the best car I have ever owned. It can be a sports car or you can relax on the highway, throw it into 6th turn up the Bose 225 watt system and just cruise.

  • The Ultimate Dream Machine ! - 2003 Infiniti G35
    By -

    I just completed 1000 miles on my diamond graphite / graphite coupe ... boy am I pleased. Everytime I drive around the pride of ownership is ultimate. Got one without the sunroof for that extra head room (auto/leather .. no premium package). Near perfection.

  • Best SUV in its class - 2001 Infiniti QX4
    By -

    Before purchasing my QX4, I test drove every SUV in that class. The QX4 is more powerful, but at the same time super luxury. You feel the class as soon as you step into one. The wood trim, analog clock and heated front seats are just a few items that make the QX4 a comfortable ride. The 4WD is great in the snow; I was able to outmaneuver a friend of mines H2 Hummer. Have had it for over 2 years now and canÂ’t image life without it.
