2005 INFINITI G35 consumer reviews

Well i am only 17 but the g35 coup is my third car iv owned, and it is extremely nice; the handling, acceleration, and the appeal are extraordinary. The gas mileage is not quite as much as i hoped it would be, because im getting around 16-17 mpg but i dont mind this is one really nice car for the money.

I've been longing to scratch my sports car itch for over 30 years. The G35 Coupe scratched it just fine too! Like most folks, I have a family, house, mortage and a son going to college soon, so spending $60K or more on a car, wasn't in the cards. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much sports car feel I could get in this price range. I won't lie, I love the attention it gets around town and on the highway (although the Laser Red color has trained me to keep in the middle lane as this car is a magnet for police speed traps!). When the dealer told me during my test drive "You'll chicken out before you reach the limitations of the vehicle..." he was right. I do highway ramps (traditionally circles) at 45+/- mph comfortably and confidently. First gear is a bit tight but third really screams. The engine has the incredible "throaty" sound to it and while not loud or intrussive to the neighbors, it carries a unique "signature sound" as I call it. I guess the most noticeable negative in my experience would be that for trips over 3 or 4 hours, it's not especially comfortable (contoured seats etc), unless you weigh 140 lbs, which I don't. Personally, on the couple occasions when I have taken longer trips, I had to stop periodically and shake out my legs, as they were literally falling asleep. But I admit, the highway performance; acceleration from 60, 70 or 80, changing lanes and the Bose Premium Sound system that adjusted the volume proportionally with road noise, then readjusted when you got off the highway, made it a delight to drive. If you live in the north (as I do) where there is snow etc., I would recommend this as a 3 season car. If you live in the south...well, go crazy and have fun 365! (P.S. It's a great mid-life crisis car! LOL)

I just purchased this car and absolutely love it. I love it because it's a 6 speed, with 298 hp, and it has the Infiniti name and reliability behind it. I compared it to the new Acura TL and this won. Mine is a pearl white in color and draws stares wherever I go. It's refined, sporty, yet clean and elegant. And once you "step inside", you are further wowed. It has everything: power galore, a moonroof, navagation, HEATED seats even~! And a 4 year / 60000 mile warranty? Sign me up~! Oh wait, I already bought it.

This is one of the best cars on the road today. There's a reason why the BMW 3 series is number one...it's a great car! This car is the first car to best the 3 series and there's also reason behind that as well. It's an awesome machine!

Excellent Car for its money! Would completly recommend to buy

I've had my G35 for exactly a year now. I have the model with sport suspension package and the largest wheels so it handles very well. Best things to say about the car- handles turns really well, great acceleration, seats are the most comfortable seats you will ever sit in. Worst things about the car- your golf clubs will not fit in the very tiny trunk, interior styling needs to be improved a little, the air tire warning light goes on and off a lot-to sensitive. The exterior of the car is sweet- except the back could use a little refinement. From the side I think its the best looking car on the road. Options the car has include dual climate, heated seats, and great speaker system. Options it should have but doesn't despite the fact its a luxury car- bluetooth, passenger setting recognition, rear heated seats, and rear wiper. All in all a great car though.

I waited patiently to find the right six speed combo in the coupe. Fun to drive, annoying seating without power seat memory. Absolutely terrible in snow or light rain. Worse than my Corvette's which I did not think possible. Great on dry pavement. Wind noise in cabin at speed is annoying so keep the windows open. Trunk is okay for golf clubs and folding seats help in a pinch. Overall, I really like the car but not in wet weather.
