2003 Infiniti G35

Pros: Engine power at high RPM, balanced chassis, rear seat room, low price
Cons: Styling and chassis could use more personality, rear seats don't fold

Infiniti’s first entry-lux sedan, the G20, never sold well. Though widely recognized as among the best handling front-wheel-drive sedans, it was also widely criticized for a lack of power. For 2003, Infiniti fixes this problem by making a ...

Pros: Great power, distinctive styling, great handling
Cons: Some questionable interior bits, less-than-perfect ergonomics, hard to read gauges

If you read my reviews, you'll know just how much I enjoyed driving the Nissan 350Z. However it does have one problem in that it only seats two. While that's great for a sportscar, what if you're not in the position to purchase a sportscar? You've got...

Pros: Power, rear drive, front styling.
Cons: Rear styling, no fold down rear seat, spartan interior. Disappointing color choices.

I recently test drove the G-35 along with the Infiniti I-35 when car buying, but ended up buying the I-35. Still, the G-35 was impressive overall.

The rear drive G-35 appeals to my "sportier" side, as I have had several front drivers lately...

Pros: Price, quality, engine, rear legroom, VDC is excellent.
Cons: Trunk liner problem, No fold down rear seats, can't raise/lower passenger seat, no goodwill

This review has once again been updated to reflect my ongoing ownership experience with the G35. Last Update: November 9, 2004 after 31 months and 40000 miles. November 9, 2004 Update: I feel compelled to write this update, not just to give ...

Pros: Unique styling. No interior wood! Real sports car performance, handling and braking. Rear seat room
Cons: $900 Bose stereo. Sports suspension is rough at low-speeds. Infiniti leasing. No fold-down rear seats

I decided to lease my wife a new car for an anniversary present this year. In my typical over-research way, I set out to find the perfect sports-sedan for our family. I already have a 4-Runner, so extensive room is not a requirement. in fact, I was...

Pros: Power, handling, comfort...it's a fun car to drive!
Cons: Lack of options and sparseness of interior on the base model

I purchased a G35 coupe back in the summer of 2002, not too long after the vehicle was introduced. This is my second Infiniti (my first being a QX-4), and the sixth Infiniti in my family. Needless to say, we have always been impressed with the quality ...

Pros: Engine, Styling, Ride, Stereo, Price
Cons: Rear Styling, Non Fold Rear Seats

Preface
The following is my account of what I got to experience behind the wheel of the new 2003 Infiniti G35 4 door sedan on a recent test drive. I had just the day before driven the new Mazda Mazda6 of which I had every intention of buying after...

Pros: Given the price, the features and performance can’t be beat by any BMW or Lexus.
Cons: Interior material & aluminum finish, exterior rear styling.

First, a disclosure: I bought a G35 sedan for my wife and very soon traded it in for an Acura RL. Th ...

Pros: Superb Engine, BMW class handling, powerful brakes
Cons: Poor noise insulation, rear styling takes getting used to

I just purchased a 2003 G35 for $30,600. For that price, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus give you either a supercharged four cylinder or a wimpy six cylinder. There are only two other four doors that are as fun to drive as the G35: the Subaru WRX and the BMW...

Pros: Well balanced, with just enough power
Cons: Leather and interior trim leaves something to be desired

Even though I consider myself somewhat of a "car guy" I was not aware that Infiniti was bringing the ...

Pros: Sporty handling and great engine
Cons: New release, so you'll pay sticker or close... interior design not for everyone

I've never been too big a fan of Infiniti's offerings. Sure, the first Q45 and J30 were intriguing cars, but I was too young to even be in the car market. Their models in recent years however haven't interested me as much, except for the seemingly...

Pros: Good handling, solid acceleration, smooth braking, reasonably priced.
Cons: Odd controls, quirky layout

I recently traded my BMW 328i for the Infiniti G35. I had 4 BMW's and I wanted something different - but I didn't want to sacrifice on quality or performance. After having one for a few weeks, I'm glad to report that I the G35 was a good choice. Of...

Pros: Performance, handling
Cons: Build quality, straight line stability

I've had a black G35 coupe since summer 2003, and its very much a varied experience. First the pros : This is a great handling car - on twisty roads its almost as good as the Porsche 944 S2 it replaced, although not as communicative. With the VDC ...

Pros: 0 to 60 is great price point navagation system look is unique
Cons: cabin rattles rolls a bit in turns transmission is hesitant door panels make noise

Let me start by saying I am a car freak. Yes... a car freak. I have a new car every 7 to 12 months, ...

Pros: Engine, Style, Navigation
Cons: Stiff ride, Gas Mileage, long 1200 mile breakin period

Beautiful sedan. Even with the Acura TL at the 2.9% APR, I still went with the G35. New body style, "Car of the year", high performance, 5 speed automatic transmission were all critical factors in my decision. I am a little surprised that that the...
