2003 INFINITI G35 consumer reviews

I recently traded in my 2007 Hyundai Elantra that I purchased in Oct. of 2007 for this car. The value for what your getting is bar none. After driving by a local dealership over the course of 3 months I steadily watched the price drop on this car and when it reached $16,995 I decided to stop in and see what they could work out. They gave me the car for a day to see how I liked it and from the time I inserted the key and heard the throaty sound of that Nissan 3.5L V-6 I fell in love. The handling is superb and the mid range acceleration is OUTSTANDING! Nissan motors has always built a reliable product and this car is no exception. The interior design leaves a little to be desired but overall the feel of the cockpit and ease of use of features has been great. I was lucky enough to find a 4 door model (have only seen 3 others myself since this car was released) so the interior room is vast and comfortable. The trunk seams to be a bit on the small side but with a rear seat pass through you can haul long items such as skis with ease. Limited slip and traction control were standard with this car and make the ride very enjoyable. Interior noise at highway speeds are tolerable but definitely not "Lexus" quiet. The big selling point on this car for me was the exterior design. Since the introduction of the G35 in 2003 Infiniti has done VERY little changing to the exterior design because they have come out with a winner and will most likely stick with it for as long as possible. In these days of sky rocketing gas prices the gas mileage is reasonable, I have been averaging about 25-26 MPG on the highway with about 18-20 MPG in town, the only draw back is that premium fuel is RECOMMENDED but not required, I use plus. My only wish is that there were more features but being a 2003 a lot of features that we have now were not available. If you have the means I would highly suggest picking up one of these fine vehicles.

Great looks, excellent performance, loaded with features. All the performance of a BMW 540 for $20,000 less. My car is 5 1/2 years old and I'm still in love! Would not order the sport suspension again as this makes the ride a little harsh ( I must be getting old!).

Seventh Nissan I have owned (including 3 Infinities) all purchased new. I am convinced of the reliability of the line. I'm an avid reader of Consumer Reports which contains no ads. They annually have an extensive used car issue. Infiniti always rank at or near the top for reliability. I'm happy Infiniti had problems early in their history. Their prices are more in line where they should be, especially compared to Lexas

This car has it all. Looks, performance, comfort for tall and short. I am 6 foot 3 inches and I am very comfortable driving this car. The performance in the six speed manual is outstanding. It is the best car on the market for the cost.

I have coupe and I couldn't be more pleased. I like everything about it, esp the exterior, power, and handling. The Bose sound system is wonderful. I haven't had any problems with it and plan to keep it a long time. Backseat headroom is tight so make sure you sit back there before you buy it. Overall, it's been best car I've owned.

Great car and good looking. It has many ggod pointsd including performance. The manual transmnission is very good and th GPS is easy to use. Custom wheel option is must and Bose sound system is strong.

I purchased the G-35 used with low miles. I was initially attracted by the sophisticated styling. I have owned 911's in the past and this car is their equal in most driving situations. I have the Brembo brakes, and they are superb. The acceleration and handling are both very good considering the weight of the car. If I had one complaint, it would be the six-speed gearbox. It shifts smoothly and precisely enough I guess, far better than a 911 gearbox but is obviously not an S2000 or BMW manual box. I am 6'-3" and broad shouldered, so cockpit space is a little tight. The relatively long wheelbase makes long drives very tolerable though. The sound quality of the Bose sound system is excellent. Fit and finish are also first rate. The dipstick who designed the dip stick and its location obviously never checks the oil in his own car. Gas mileage around town is under 20 mpg, but the car is a blast to accelerate and makes nice sounds. On the highway 70 mph with the cruise set will give mid twenties, not bad at all.

This was my very first brand new car and boy did I hit the jackpot! Pound for pound this car stacks up really well against the best of its luxury car counterparts - BMW's 3-Series, Acura TL, Audi A4 - all of which I researched and test drove. If you add in the price and features (BMW features at Nissan prices), there is no argument not to buy this car. I like to drive hard and fast and this car delivers a smooth, quiet, and powerful ride with great corner hugging capabilities. The V6 engine provides plenty of power and a ton of torque; the car really jumps up to cruisin' speed in a hurry. Don't forget the trunk room either - you'll be surprised how much stuff you can pack into this car. I agree that there is a little room for improvement with the CD changer. Loading CDs takes longer than I would expect (6-disc changer is included if you didn't know), but it is nothing that cannot be tolerated. All-wheel drive would have been a great feature with Infiniti's first G35 model, but they've since corrected that oversight and provide all-wheel in later G35 models. Overall, I've been very satisfied with this car and hope my next car is just as fantastic!

In 2003- the Infiniti G35 was voted The Car of The Year-and I can tell you why! The level of performance is outstanding, particularly on curved or twisting roads. The power is always there for you. The leather seats, which are heated for cold weather, are infinitely adjustable for any size & shape. added with steering wheel controls for your music, an onboard compass,clock and dual climate controls-its more comfortable then some living rooms! The feeling you get when driving this car is that it is a very strong, well built and designed car that will never let you down. I get a secure feeling when I am behind the wheel of this luxurious, yet very Sports Car oriented Coupe. Drive one yourself & you will easily agree.

I looked at a BMW 1st. But after comparing styling, interior size, value I bought the G. Boy am I glad I did. I love the car. A blast to drive. The only thing I wish for other then the G. Is the M.
