Pros:

Beautiful Inside and Out, Great Acceleration and handling

Cons:

HORRIBLE BRAKES, expense to maintain, Infiniti doesn't stand behind their product

Review:

The 2005 g35 is a beautiful car, and in my opinion the best in class for overall appearance and performance (against Acura TL, BMW 3 Series, Audi A4/6).

HOWEVER - I was also believed this car was the best value in the class.  I no longer believe this, nor do I trust Infiniti.  The brakes are horrible (particularly on the AWD model), and Infiniti's resolution to the problem is shameful for a 'luxury car company'.  Every 20k-25k miles the front brakes and rotors need to be replaced.  This is not a normal cost of owning a car, even though Infiniti claims it to be.  For some reason (probably the numerous law suites), they recognized the problem on the 03-04 model and extended special brake coverage to these owners.  2005 g35x owners were not extended such a courtesy, and are instead asked to spend $600 on front brakes every 20k miles.

 The cost of ownership of this car is much more than I had expected. if you maintain at a dealer expect to be recommended some filter (ex: $100 installed HVAC filter every 10k miles) / fluid with almost every oil change) -> add about $2000 to the annual cost of ownership of your car just to update filters, fluids and brakes.

 Friends with BMWs get everything covered, including brakes, through the warranty period.  It seems to me that other automakers value their customers after the sale more than Infiniti.

I have a 2005 G35 sedan, is car cost me about 19gran and only had 16000 mileage on it, this car is really powerful I love the engine sounds, and how you switch it to 6 speed manual, just unbelievable, I love this car, rides smooth, has sunroof, but this car I love it, and I think this car is the best out of all for a sporty luxury sedan


Now this is a Sports Sedan!

Pros:

Acceleration, power, thrust, handling, comfort, styling, sportiness, dead pedal.

Cons:

Softer leather interior. I'm being picky, but, thicker INFINITI floor mats.

Review:

I just purchased an 05 with 30K. Like my title says, THIS IS A SPORTS SEDAN! Power when you need it, along with the luxury and comfort of the INFINITI brand. It's also very heavy, which is good in my opinion. It does not feel flimsy. Pure performance when called upon.


G evolution - design idea, key fob

Pros:

Repeated wear over years becomes irrelevant as color-codes remain. 

Cons:

Cost?

Review:

Great car overall. Here are some minor design ideas for improvement of the car:  1. Key fob lock/unlock symbol wears off after a year or so. Use solid color-coded plastic insert rather than printed  symbol over plastic, say yellow for lock, green for unlock, red for alarm, blue for trunk release.
