Great Car!

I bought my 2005 G35 coupe used a few years ago. Now, I've got 100K on it, and it still looks/feels like it did when I bought it. It's been a great car! and is a blast to drive. It looks and sounds like a sports car should. I definitely recommend it!

G35 makes me look for a reason to drive...

After owning my G35 for only 1 month, I find myself looking for reasons to go for a drive. I could seriously drive all day and not get bored because this car is just the right fit for my personality. I feel like the car knows who I am and caters to my driving needs. From the moment you enter the car, the G35 automatically knows you are near. With intelligent technology, it provides everything from keyless entry/ignition, to adjusting the seats for easy entry and exit. When it comes to luxury, it's all about the little things, like auto rearview dimmers to keep others headlights out of your face, or the heated bucket seats covered with plush leather, not to mention magnificent POWER that makes you feel like the KING of the road. If you are looking for a combination of luxury, sportiness, and power, all for a decent price, this may be the finest one out there. Yes, I think it is safe to say that I am in love with my G35, and I am not ashamed.

I love the G

I've always had trucks, the G35 is my first car, sports car, coupe period. I love it! the handling, the way i turn heads on the street. Granted i've put in mods and wheels on the car, but i absolutely love it so far! wish it was cheaper, thinking of buying another one =)

Great value and fun to drive

I bought my G35 new in September 2005 and have been very pleased with it for the entire 5 plus year that I have owned it. I love sporty cars and really wanted another BMW, but opted for the more value priced G35 - I have not regretted it. The car is fun to drive and extremely reliable. I have almost 70,000 miles on my G and have only had to do very minimal maintenance (routine maintenance as defined by the manufacturer). The original tires (Bridgestone Turanza's) didn't have to be replaced until 55,000 miles and I still haven't had to do any brake work (did have front rotors turned at 65,000). And believe me, I don't take it easy on this car - I love to drive and I push it whenever I can. If you are looking for a good used car, you should definitely consider one of the mid-2000 model years. I have driven a few new G37's (service loaners) and believe those will be great cars as well and worth consideration if you want a great new car in the $35K range.

great car but...

Wow I love this car it is fast agile and fun but if your driving in any weather other than warm and sunny you start to lose traction quickly but overall a great looking car wish it had a digital clock but I can live with it

A fine car with only minimal draw backs

I have had my 2005 G35 Sedan for 2 years now. I have been very satisfied with it overall. There are a few issues with the Veh, the Cars alignment is not adjustable from the Factory, you have to buy an aftermarket kit to be able to adjust the settings. Also, the exterior trim seems to peel up over time, it could be the hot Texas sun, but it does prove to be an issue for me. The only other complaint I would have with this Veh is the windshield. They are very prone to chipping and cracking, other G35 owners have had the same issue. Also the Drivers side wiper will causing smears right in your line of sight. Those are my only complaints on the Veh. It has a ton of power for a V6. They ride is very nice as is the handling. There are a ton of performance parts and accessories avail for the Veh. It also has a lot of nice features, mine has keyless start, nice interior wood trim, a very good sound system in the Bose unit. I would recomend to any my family or friends, and have acually done so resulting in a friend buying the same type of car.

Modded G35

I have a G35 that was built with a Turbonetics turbo kit. It's the best of everything as far as I'm concerned. It's got the class of a regular Infiniti, and the comfort, and all the little gadgets that come with it, It looks great inside and out, but there's a little monster under the hood that leaves 99% of everything behind it. I love my car and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Used Infinitis are nice cars, affordable, reliable, and hold their value pretty well. I highly suggest a G series. This is, by the way, my third G35. I love these cars.

The most satisfying car I've owned

I traded in a Mini Cooper S which was the most frustrating car that I have owned. This car does everything that I expect, without any fuss. It even sounds awesome.
