2004 INFINITI G35 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The 2004 Infiniti G35 is one of my favorite affordable sport cars. I have owned 2 one a six speed manual the other a automatic. The automatic was one of the best running cars I have ever driven and I had really no issues and drove it until about 180,000 miles. My advice would be make sure that you do your research before making alterations such as changing width of tires or slamming it, because it can really harm the way it functions as a whole and could cause costly damage.Nov 09, 2022

This has been a fun and reliable car for us. We bought the 2004 G35x used in 2014 for only $8000. Since then, we have not put little money into it, other than normal maintenance. This car has really good power and handling. It is a lot of fun and drives more like a sports car than a sedan. The AWD system works well and improves handling, particularly in snowy and wet conditions. It is not a 4x4, but the AWD is good. The style inside and out is very attractive and I actually like it better than the newer G35 models. We added a new stereo head unit last year, to upgrade with some additional features. The downside to that is that the console is custom designed for the stock system and we had to replace the unit with one we got from the installer in order to put an aftermarket stereo in, which doubled the price of the project.Mar 22, 2015

Performance - acceleration is good, braking is good, handling is great Build Qualities - i never have any problems with it Appearance - it is a head turner, i always get compliments Cost of ownership - price has fell since it first came to the market so its not that expensive to own this car. however gas does hit your wallet Fun Factor - I have fun in this car everyday that I drive it Nov 19, 2011

Performance: The acceleration is not exhilarating, but it does keep you entertained. Braking is really good, it'll stop when you tell it to. Handling is fine, between sport and luxury, it is leaning more towards sport. Build Quality: The car is build strong and rigid. The parts are top tier. Everything goes into place. I never needed to repair the vehicle. Only rattle I got was from the sun roof cover. Appearance: The car is just beautiful. It's a pleasure to stare at and admire. The rims are the only thing needing a redo. The interior design is nice. The seats are just not set up correctly as the seatbelt tends to dig into your neck. Cost of Ownership: Gas mileage is so-so. Just expect a big gas bill every month. But the maintenance is not bad...if you do it yourself that is. This car will be costly when bringing it in for service..as do all luxury brands. Fun Factor: The drive is always entertaining. When you need to move it will move. If you ever want to tour the canyon roads, you'll feel so excited as it will carve the roads if you know how to control the electronic throttle. I always try to find every opportunity to drive with the windows down, it is the only way to hear the awesome exhaust note. If you get to a corner, drop it into third and hear the exhaust roar, it's really intoxicating. Dec 15, 2010

Performance: Excellent take off, hugs corners .... braking system could be better.. but when you are stopping from 150 to zero... what do you expect? Build quality: Excellent .. no leaks, fit & finish still nice. Interior.... I give it about an 7... looks great.. but little things are popping off and falling off... and for 6 years old... there is definitely early signs of wear.. and for a mechanic that keeps his car in the garage... 6 years is far too soon!

Full marks... That's difficult to get for myself but honestly it takes owning one to know that the G35 has so much going for it. You get a fully fleshed out sports car performance with luxurious comforts on par with a well furnished 4 door sedan. Combine that with a rock solid build quality and great fun every time you drive equals to one of a few great ownership experience. The exterior also retains the refined quality of a luxurious automobile while under the bonnet lurks a beast held by a thin thread connected to the accelerator. Few words can truly describe this car and all of them are adulatory.Apr 08, 2009

I love how the car drives. Very smooth on the road. I can turn on the all wheel drive feature whenever i want. It is still considered young because it only has around 36,000 miles on it. It has a really good Bose Sound System in it. I love how fast it goes. I just upped the horsepower from 260 to 306. Much improvement. It has very comfortable tan leather seats. It has nice white HIDS. I fixed all the rattles myself but their were very few.The braking power is unbelievable. I have OEM brakes on them only. I put Falken Ziex Racing series tires on them. I put nitrogen in the tires and now rides even smoother. It doesnt cost a lot to maintain it. I always wash and wax it so the shine in the sunlight is blinding. It is extremely quick and fun to drive. I know that premium is expensive but it is worth putting it in the car anyway. I know get 21MPG in the city and around 40 on the highway. because i put techron in it and added nitrogen to the tires. But if you want to HAUL it gets about 17 in the city still not to bad. "I have always wanted this car and it is a dream to drive. I especially love the sound the exhaust makes. I would recommend this sedan to anyone. It is the best and i wouldnt want any other sedan.Sep 07, 2008

Needs seat coolers for the intense summer heat. Radio controls a bit awkward, otherwise, perfect in every way! Great performance (260 hp) Solid build (smooth ride) Nice appearance Poor gas mileage (what do you expect?) Extremely fun to drive, nice smooth ride Overall, this is the most reliable, fun great looking car I have ever owned, I highly recommend this car to anyone.Jul 31, 2008

A stylish, classy, reliable, performance sedan......fairly poor gas mileage. Some reviews will state an average 25mpg....I drive mine easy, and would be happy with 21. This car is extremely fun to drive, I typically get bored with my vehicles pretty easily but I can see myself holding onto this for a while. 260 screaming horsepower on an all wheel drive platform is a joy to drive. So far has been a very reliable car, never broken down (knock on wood). Infiniti gets great style points for this car. The exterior is sporty yet classy and will hold a modern look easliy for year to come. The interior scratches just a little too easily but no more than any other car. My complaints about this car are minor: 1, BAD GAS MILEAGE, window sticker states 20-26mpg, gets 21 if your careful. Its below average. 2, Window Squeak - my right rear window was squeaking, I believe it was relatived to the minimal body roll. An easy and effective fix is to lightly grease the rubber that the window pane sits is...works great. Overall, you will be happy with this car....If you are a driving enthusiast, love to drive, enjoy performance, you can easily deal with decent gas MPG. I would highly recommend this car to anyone.
