2008 INFINITI G35 consumer reviews

JD at AutoStyles treated me with respect. He did not rush me and he was very patient with me. He was very knowledgeable and knew how to treat a customer. I would go back to Autostyles again and I would refer people there. The ad was exactly as the car was in person. I flew all the way from Chino Hills to get this car and I was happy and had no disappointments. I really appreciated the respect JD had for me as a buyer. Thank you.

We are new to the Infintiy Family we've had Mercedes, BMW, Lexus. Nice car fun to drive. Luxury without the expensive Maintenance. A different type of Luxury, but nice. Great sporty look and feel with ok interior space. Not as spacious as the S430. Miss the Navigation. Great performance. Next car may be another Infiniti but a Larger model. Overall we are happy with our purchase.

I live this car I its style and performance rivals bmw for a fraction of the cost with better reliability and cheaper maintenece.

This vehicle has style, performance, and quality. The car that I got is fully loaded with heated leather seats, navigation, back up camera and heated side mirrors. The acceleration is very good and the car is overall very comfortable. If you want a fun sedan that is a well rounded experience this would be it!

I bought my '08 in 09/11 and for the most part I absolutely love it! It's a kick to drive and I'm told it has the same drive train as the Nissan 350Z (probably excluding the exhaust system). I've actually managed to squeak out 31.5 mpg but that's pulling onto a FLAT and level freeway, straight from the gas station and driving 55 mph (construction zone). Real-world though, I average between about 19.5 to 23 mpg if it's mostly freeway. Corners very well and has more power than you might expect. Air intake is dual and would be hard to improve on. The keyless (hansfree) entry and push-button start is, well, just AWESOME! Brakes are great, seats are comfy...although I'm 6'1", 260 Lbs and I would say that's "maximum load". NOW FOR THE BAD: 1) I've lived and driven in Utah for 40 years and given that this car has AWD, it absolutely SUCKS in the snow. Oh, you'll get around okay if you don't encounter any moderately steep hills but it's no better than front-drive. Now, I believe this is largely a tire issue; came with Nexen and they're not all-season. 2) It has a 5-speed auto, with manual shift option and it also has a "Sport" mode. I've done at least a dozen 0-60 times in each automatic and sport mode. The times are identical. At my altitude this is 6.9-7.2 seconds. This is even with 96 Octane. There may be something wrong with mine. The dealer says if I lived at sea-level, I'd be running in the mid-to-high 5-second range; 30% faster? Color me skeptical. 3) The cup holder is only slightly better than nothing. It works okay if you don't put anything bigger around than a soda can in it. Assuming you have only one drink in the (tandem) drink holder, and if it's taller than a soda can, it WILL tip over frequently, as you turn corners...if you were born before 1925 (or drive like it) you might do okay. 4) The rubberized finish is really nice but is no more durable than a scratch-to-win card. I've seen this problem on every '08 I've looked at. To make it worse, the underlying plastic is a medium gray and the rubberized finish (I think) is always black so the scratches really show. 5) Really wish I'd gotten the Tech Package, e.g. NAV, Back-up camera and I think some other goodies.

I just bought a 2008 G35x, wondering if anyone has the same problem/issue, The car seems to follow seams and cracks and uneven pavement, took it back to the dealership i bought it from and was told it is normal, for me it does NOT feel normal when changing lanes on uneven pavement when it suddenly pulls one way or the other, My car has the 18' sport wheels, has anyone had a similiar problem or any suggestions as to what the problem could be??

I just love this car...it everything and more that I could want! It handles wonderfully, gets about 19 miles to the gallon, I have the Sports edition and just love it!

The G35xS is everything I expected it to be. It drives excellent, has tons of power, handles very well, and looks great. Leg room is ok but I will say my left leg hits the door panel which sometimes gets annoying. Also the computer takes some getting used to. I haven't had to refer to a manual as much on any other car I purchased. Compared to the Cadillac xxx which was my other choice the Infiniti lacks some options. There is no heated steering wheel, cooled seats, or DVD player. I feel the reliability of the Infiniti will well out weigh missing a few options over time. I am very happy with the G35xS!

I switched from a Cadillac xxx and previously owned a 300ZX and many things in between. I must say this car is a blast if you want a reasonably priced sports sedan that drives like a sports car. Mine has most of the features like navigation and rear camera and is all wheel drive. I have used regular gas without an issue but went back to premium fuel for the little extra pep it seems to provide. The main drawback is gas mileage and it doesn't seem to matter which grade of fuel I use I get about 21 mpg. Can you get a different of used car for less? Yes, but I don't you will find a better of more fun car for the money.

This is my second G35x and my next car will also be a G25x or G37x. The car has all the features you will ever need along with 306 hp it's a lot of fun to ride. My only complaint is with the fuel mileage but I don't want to give up the power or the all wheel drive to get more then 20 MPG. I just wish Infiniti would finally put another dealer in VT as it's been a decade since they had one but luckily the car only seems to require oil in all the years I have owned them. The new G's get a little better gas mileage as they have more gears but I like the 5 speed automatic and it's power in each gear. The bluetooth and Ipod connection are my favorite new features that my 2005 model lacked. Cup holders in the doors was also a nice addition as the car seems to lack them.
