Since its introduction in 2002, the Infiniti G35 has proven a worthy successor to the G20. New features in 2006 for the stylish sedan include new headlights, exterior styling, and Bluetooth technology. The G35 comes in 5 trims: Coupe, Coupe 6MT, Sedan, Sedan 6MT, and Sedan x AWD. The Coupe, Sedan, and Sedan x AWD use a 3.5-liter, 280-hp V6 powertrain with a 5-speed automatic transmission, while the 6MT trims use a 3.5-liter, 298-hp V6 with a 6-speed manual.
Expect to get around 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. Coupes have 2 doors and seat 4, while the sedans have 4 doors and seat 5. All 5 trims deliver standard ABS brakes, traction control, and stability control.
Overall, drivers like the smooth handling, roomy interior, and powerful engine. Some might say the interior could use some higher quality materials. However, most would agree that the 2006 Infiniti G35 provides an excellent option for the price.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 INFINITI G35 express a love for its powerful performance and sporty feel, appreciating its acceleration and handling. Many rave about the beautiful design and luxurious features, making it a fun car to drive. However, some drivers are frustrated with the ride comfort, particularly on rough roads, and mention that gas mileage isn't great, along with occasional cosmetic issues like interior wear over time."
Everything written about this car is true. A strong engine and great sound to boot. The interior features are good and I can't think of anything missing that I would want. The Bose sound system is more than adequate. I have the sport model which gives a firm but stable ride. The stock 19" rims are preasing to the eye as well as hold the 245/40R rear rubber. I have Stillen after market intake and exhaust. My only complaint if you would call it that is the fuel economy. But that is a small price to pay for 300+ HP.
June 1, 2010I don't think there is another car made I would prefer over the Inifniti G35. I feel it is the best looking car Inifiniti has made. It has great power, solid handling, a hard, but controlled and refined ride, and a great interior layout. I love the features of the car with a clean and easy to use dashboard that isn't cluttered with unnecessary feature. The interior materials aren't quite as good as some of the German competitors, but it has held up remarkably well over the years. Trunk space and rear seat space are plenty good, with a large trunk opening and enough space for multiple sets of golf clubs. Rear seat passengers will be happy to find out the rear seats recline, for that extra comfort on long trips. The bluetooth system works well, but setup is a pain since it is done all by voice. Would definately recommend this car to someone looking for sporty luxury.
May 20, 2013In stock trim the G35 is an impressive overall package. Handling, power, and pure enjoyability all come into play with this machine. The appearance of the car in stock stance is almost perfect some minor tweaks and the car is a thing of pure beauty.

June 25, 2008I had a G35 years ago and never stopped thinking about it. I searched nationwide for a well kept one and made my purchase! I LOVE IT!!
February 12, 2024Just an awesome piece of machinery. Acceleration, braking, handling is perfect for my needs. THe exterior styling never seems to get outdated, the interior however is a bit dated. Cost of owner ship is just wear and tear items. Its just the best car I ever had :)
December 9, 2009I like to call it a sports car drive with a Cadillac ride - my "uber-car". I'm now addicted to the intelligent key. Incredibly smooth and responsive. It is sure going to be hard to top this car when the lease ends.
August 7, 2009i am in love with this car!! everything about it just makes me very happy. i can take off or i can just take my time. the car is absolutely beautiful
June 21, 2008BEST $10k EVER SPENT!!! I’ve bought my car at 30k miles from the dealer it was maintained at its whole life. The 6MT 3.5 liter power train has never had an issue at all. I continued to use the old non-synthetic oil BUT I do change it every 3k miles instead of every 5K. All of the electronics still work flawlessly. The only cosmetic flaw is that the dash has begun to crack after 15 years of use. Literally everything else works as it did when the car was new.
September 16, 2021This car has been the most reliable car in my life, it has never shut down or come close to breaking my wallet maintaining this car. I have at best spent 150$ in 4 years on the car toward maintenance and not added accessory or upgrade of my choosing.
September 13, 2014The G35 coupe has an edge in styling over the Nissan 350z in my opinion. The 3.5L 280 HP engine is bulletproof, has been putting out consistent power since I bought it. The RWD acceleration feels instant, and the handling is very responsive
