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. |

Review:
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 |

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. |

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. |

Review:
I purchased my 2005 G35X used with 55,000 miles. The car looks and
drives like new still. This vehicle is very simple but still classy with
lots of performance and power when called for. I must say Lexus ES 330 has a
very quiet interior but no power, Acura TL is not fast and does not have a
quite interior, with a cheap interior just like Honda Accords. After all the
Infiniti G35 has the most performance in its class. The only sport sedan the
could be compared to the G35, probably will be the BMW 330I. I personally
think BMW is just about the name nothing compare to the G35 in size and
performance. BMW is always at the dealership for the most simple thing for
example A BULB CHANGE could you believe that. Do the logistics it's just the
name you will be buying with alot of service cost. |
