2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan Review - Is It More Reliable Than A BMW?

I have a 2003 G35. 270,000 miles and still runs like a top. Fuel injectors is the only major work I’ve done to it other than normal wear items like brakes and real hub bearings. Best overall car I’ve ever had. And I’m 46.

The climate control buttons are not factory that's why they feel weird. If you want to replace the radio, you'd have to get a completely different Dash kit which cost around $300. The stock radio and the climate control was all integrated and one unit. My uncle has a very early 2003 with the original radio but unfortunately, it burned out rendering it useless and it left the air conditioning stuck in its current setting so you can't even change it or turn it off

[@josearteaga9667]

Tape player to AUX works great, old tech and it's no bluetooth convenience wise but works fine with my phone. No problems with my stereo apart from the CD changer

[@bwofficial1776]

These got pretty cheap because Infiniti is "that other Japanese luxury brand". For a 350Z sedan these can be had for pretty reasonable money. The exhaust isn't the strongest steel but otherwise these hold up decently well. Having a reliable, comfortable, inexpensive car is a great feeling. Bring back green/amber/orange/red dashboards. Blue and white are the worst colors to have in your face when you're driving at night.

Unfortunately finding a good example of Infiniti G35 - especially of that generation - is quite challenging. These were used and abused, so there are not many left in good condition.

[@corsa140hp]

My wife had a new 06 G35, the climate control buttons are not factory, they looked swapped out when the owner replaced the radio. Also that cubby behind the radio just above the climate controls is where the Navigation screen lived if the car was optioned with it. Also the manual was only available on the rear wheel drive sedans, the X model as auto only from what I recall.

Just got one! Watched first half of your excellent, well produced and informative video and then bought it from the local garage here on Pine Island in Florida. 157k miles and this beauty runs like a brand new car. Minor interior blemishes like worn out seat bottoms and some cracking on the dash. Drove an '84 BMW 325e 5 speed stick shift for 17 years and a '90 325i automatic for about 10 years. This car is reminiscent of those cars but better in about every conceivable way. Thanks for the awesome review, man....

Dash cracking and roof paint fading = that's what you get for parking in sunlight. Park under a tree or in shadows of buildings and use a sunshade for the windshield. Also tinting the windows will also help.

I've always liked these and really want one at the moment. Man we really have similar tastes, I can't remember all yours exactly but stuff like the Prelude, Soarer, 300ZX and luxury sedans like this and the Lexus GS300 and stuff like that... your videos are always in tune with my philosophies. But yeah, I own a 2018 Golf wagon which is lovely but it just isn't me, I want to sell it for something like this, so many options to choose from.

Notorious for chewing brake pads, underbraked car / caliper setup. Otherwise an awesome luxury commuter w/o DI, what else can you ask for? Much more reliable than 325- and 330- Bimmers from 04-05-06. Had an 06 G35x sedan from 2010 to 2016 here in Canada, biggest repair was cats (HFC) and it drove me to buy a '13 G37xS sedan back in 2016. Still powering through at 113K miles....

[@luisdiaz1980]

I owned an '05 G35 coupe, loved the car but it was a pain to drive in the Canadian winters. So I sold it for an '04 G35x sedan with 106,000km on it (about 66,000 miles). I've loved the car for the past couple years. The interior was immaculate and only a scrape on the bumper that I had fixed by a body shop. The engines on these cars is amazing and anytime you accelerate even at low rpms it sounds sooooo good. I've been looking for a newer Infiniti G37 or 35, and have test driven a few. Honestly the G37 doesn't even feel as fun to drive as my G35. I did however drive a Q50S, it was amazing. I think I'll upgrade to that soon. I love my car but the looks are a bit dated at certain angles. However viewed at certain angles the car can still look sexy.

[@rayzie8599]

I've got an 08 g35xS sedan and let me tell you, I'm in love with it. It's quick, fun, and rugged as hell. It screams all the way up to 7600 rpm and I haven't lost a race yet. As soon as snow fell I was honestly excited to try it out. It gives me so much confidence driving in snow and ice it's insane and of you want to drift you can turn the vdc off and have at it. If you want to get through a snowstorm with as much grip as possible just leave it on and put it in snow mode. Plus the interior is seriously nice (black leather). Hope this helps!

[@luisdiaz1980]
