Unacceptable tire noise and wear with no solution.
Review:
Great looking car and fun to drive--mostly highway miles, no hard driving. With 7500 miles, tire noise was noticeable. Now at 8500 the wear is very noticeable and noise is worse. Roars from 45 mph down to 0. Alignment within specs, so dealer says "that's the way it is". Sounds like a design flaw to me. If this had been disclosed, would not have purchased.

Pros:
Looks, Gas mileage, Sweet exhaust GROWL :-)
Cons:
Feels a bit heavy when driven hard, Tire wear not very good.
Review:
Did lots of research. Compared it to the I.S.350 Lexus. Infiniti had a better price, look, feel, and handling, but the Lexus is overall more quiet than the G35. Best bang for your buck. Would be better if the torque would be on par with horsepower.

Pros:
awesome design, fast as hell, great gas mileage, short throw shifter, huge sexy tires and wheels and killer cornering
Cons:
the stereo speakers suck bigtime.I replaced them for 200 bucks and they are amazing now. Infiniti used standard Panasonic paper cone speakers? I put in Sony's and they rock. The seats are a little narrow but a pad help from pinching my legs a little. however you need them tight around tight corners and turns
Review:
G35 SPORT COUPE 6SPEED MANUAL with aero package.
I have the ivory pearl 2005 and I used to own the BMW 330ci but sold it for this car. Why?...more power (225bmw to 298 Infiniti). I replaced the air filter with a simple K&N filter and got another 10 horses out of it, it really opens up now around 4.5x000 rpm to 6.8. This car stops on a dime from 60 to zero like a champ. I Take off traction control, rip around corners and accelerate coming out of the corners or turns and can get a little spin/fishtail but the tires still toss me in the back seat and rip out awesome power. The 6th gear is great for cruising and best of all you get tons of gas mileage on 300+ horses. I drove from Syracuse NY, to Washington DC in 5.5 hours on the same tank.

Review:
I have had all of the Infiniti's M45, Q45, Qx4 so I know the product well. I bought the G35 coupe in 2005 and now have 22,000 miles on it after 1 year. The car has a nice appearance and is definitely fast. However the ride with the sport suspension everyday 80 miles roundtrip is very ruff and I feel every bump in the road. Also after 14,000 miles the tires were shot and after speaking to three different Infiniti dealers they all told me that this is common with these low profile sport tire. Since the front and back are different sizes and also they are one way tires they tell me you cannot rotate them. Well finally at 16,000 miles I bought a new set at $1600 for these tires which are not common at every tire store. Overall I would say this has been my least favorite of the Infiniti products and I think I will try a BMW on my next car in one more year!

Review:
Got my car in may 2005, love it, but having trouble with tires. Rd noise took it in to the dealer, told me i needed an alignment. Got the alignment somewhere else and told me that my camber was off on both front tires..... Read a review earlier about the same problem, the dealer also told me that potholes and things of this short can knock it out of line. But finding that other g35 and 350z owners have the same problems. My tires are wearing on the inside. They told me those factory tires are only good for 20 to 25,000 miles, don't even have that many miles on my car. Does that mean that i'm going to have to put new tires on my every few months or yr! So dispointed!
