Although the 2008 Infiniti G35 Journey comes with essentially the same list of standard features as the entry-level G35 Base, the Journey can be upgraded with a number of options that aren't available on the Base trim. Those options include heated front seats, sport seats, a sport steering wheel, African rosewood interior trim, aluminum pedals, and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

Most of those optional features are part of the Sport Package, a new options package for 2008. The package also includes a viscous limited-slip rear differential (which provides additional traction under acceleration), solid-magnesium paddle shifters on the steering column, and larger brakes. Other options packages available for the Journey include the Premium Package, with a premium Bose audio system and six-disc CD autochanger, among other features, and a Navigation Package, which adds a navigation system with a touchscreen.

Reviewers and drivers note that the G35 Journey represents a good option for car buyers, thanks to its extensive list of standard features as well as the numerous options available for the trim. Overall, drivers note that the G35 Journey is a quick, responsive vehicle, with good balance and handling. And although some find the ride a bit stiff, they note that the brakes are exceptional, and that the interior is spacious and well-appointed.
