2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN

I have the 6MT Sedan with Aero/Premium package & a few "go-fast" parts (intake, fuel/spark, exhaust, speedbooster). I've owned this ride for almost a year and have read quite a few forums from other owners; and I tend to agree with the great majority of the comments. For those who have endured a bad experience with the G35, it's truly unfortunate because the vast majority of owners are generally satisfied. I drove both the 6MT and the manumatic prior to purchase, and in my humble opinion the 6-speed manual definitely raises the "fun-factor". But poor placement of the cup holders for the front passengers is inconvenient, mysterious leaky tires generally due to temp changes, and a few fit and finish issues diminish an otherwise excellent value in a sports sedan. So it doesn't handle quite as good as a BMW, or ride quite as nice as a Mercedes, but factor in an excellent powertrain with upscale levels of luxury, and the G35 is hard to beat in terms of value.

I've never experienced any oil consumption issues, reliability issues, or poor fuel economy. In fact, if I lay off the accelerator and drive frugally, my G35 actually returns pretty good gas mileage considering it' a "sports" sedan. I use full synthetic fluids in the engine, tranny, & differential.

All in all the G35 exceeded my expectations and I would certainly recommend it to folks looking around for good value in the used car market.

I bought a 6speed manual black on black leather G35. Overall, it's the best car I've owned due to the high performing engine and great looks. However, I have noticed some of the common minor complaints mentioned by other reviewers including: interior noise/rattles; CD player skipping in cold weather, until the car is thoroughly warmed up; tire pressure issues, i.e. slow leak...have to fill monthly, unrelated to the tires (brand new Eagles with no defects), but the strangest one of them all that hasn't been mentioned, is the location of the coffee cups/console...perhaps only in the 6spd manual model; however, they are located at a 45 degree angle BEHIND the driver. That's what I get for trying to shift and drink coffee at the same time!  Again though, the car is so much fun to drive that it outweighs the inconveniences noted above.

I like my G, not love it. It has a lot of interior, room, the power train is second to none, and it looks absolutely beautiful. Now the negatives. The cars fit and finish is just o.k. There a plenty of rattles, like the windshield, and driver window. The car's ride is not that great either. It is a little too bouncy, and harsh for me. If I could take the ride, and build quality of a E320, the handling of a 330i and the power train of my G, I would have the perfect car!!! Until the y make this, I am stuck with my G.

First off. Looks are head turning. Midnight blue with spoiler and chrome accents is very attractive. Inside, materials are as expected. Refined and driver friendly. Even passenger friendly with rear ac/heat and reclining seats and one touch window controls. Lots of storage space. Steering controls are easy and intuitive. Airbags everywhere. Trunk is huge with full size spare. Now about performance.

This car is kicking and ripping and fast out of the gate at low RPM's all the way through the cycles of gears.0-60 in around 6-6.2 for me. It grabs the road nicely and corners without dipping and rolling. I do have Bridgestones all the way around, tires make a difference. SO far, extremely happy with this car. Having owned 5 Nissans (Sentra, Altima, frontier, pathfinder le and maxima gle) and a few Toyotas (Camrys) and Hondas (prelude coupe and accord coupe v6)as well as sls caddy...this is tops for sure. The best thing was buying it with 63k for only 16900. off lease and in beautiful condition. Buy your cars 3-4 years old and you will come out nicely on $$$.

I bought my G35 sedan a month ago for 22k with less than 30k on the clock. The looks of the car are outstanding with the full Aero package and the real bird's eye maple trim inside adds a touch of class. My friends are _still_ talking about it and I'm always the driver when people want to go somewhere in a group. The reclining rear seats and rear A/C vents are a nice feature as are the one-touch windows. The trunk is nothing less than enormous. The leather, while a little on the tough side, seems like it will hold up for many years.
