Pros:
Power, handling, exterior design, standard
features (heated leather seats, etc.) |
Cons:
Very poorly fit interior. rattles and creaks for
the past year I've owned the car. |
Review:
I'm approaching my 1-yr mark and have somewhat
mixed feelings on the car. The thing that still kills it for me every day
are the incessant interior rattles and creaks coming from the door panels,
windows, dashboard, the aluminum console trim, etc, etc etc. I'll go in to
have them repaired, and either the mechanic doesn't hear anything when
driving or they fix the problems only to have the same issues spring up 3
months later.Looking back at it, if I had the extra cash I would have gone for a 330i,
but for the money its hard to beat the g35 |

Date: 12/27/05 |
Pros:
Acceleration, Handling, Comfort |
Cons:
Brake Wear, Interior Rattles (Door and Trunk) Factory Tires, Manual
shift mode (Automatic model) needs improvement, interior scratches easily. |
Review:
Good car. Handles great, takes off and leaves people in the dust. Gets
good Highway MPG but will eat you alive at the pump in the city.
Manual shifting mode is temperamental when shifting into third. If you are
not careful, too many RPMS too fast when shifting into 3rd gear can cause a
thud sound. Keeping in mind that this is an automatic, if don't play pole
position with the manual shift mode, you can drive it and avoid this glitch
for the most part. Car was doing this at 800 miles.
Disappointments have been door and trunk rattles, some suspension noise just
recently, and manual shift mode (otherwise I would have gotten a manual
trans.)
Factory tires are terrible. My 2004 purchased two years ago has 17,500 miles
on it and I am shopping for new tires. |

G35 6M Leather w/Sat Nav

Pros:
Build quality, Engine torque; smooth manual transmission. Overall
performance and handling (with sport suspension package). Extraordinary
value for money. Interior comfort, amenities and ergonomics |
Cons:
The only thing I miss about that Porsche (and, for that matter, my
previous Krautmobiles) is a distinctive exterior design. I love the G35 for
how it drives, but it does rather look like an Altima or, worse, a Hyundai
family sedan on steroids. I'm used to getting excellent and prompt valet
service with a good parking space, but I don't get it in this car... This
car ends up tucked away with the Accord and Camry herd! |
Review:
I have owned several German sedans and sports cars: Audis (4), BMWs (2),
Mercedes (3) and a Porsche. This is my first Japanese car. It's outstanding:
well-built, comfortable AND TRULY RELIABLE. None of those hideous and
perpetually annoying German electrical/electronic glitches. I love the
smooth, torquey engine and the slick, "snicketty-snick" 6-speed manual. The
amenities/luxury features all work well and there's plenty of room for my
6'6" frame. I think the "bird's eye view" sat. nav. system is the best I've
encountered and the driver's seat is very comfortable indeed. I traded in a
1997 Porsche 993 Carrera and I don't miss it for a minute. In short, I'm
sold on Infiniti as a brand and on the G35 in particular! I never saw myself
driving a Japanese car (23 years as a Euro snob!), but I think I'll be a
repeat customer.... |
