The Infiniti G35 is a Fun, Balanced Sport Sedan that Gets a Bad Rap

[@DopeBoysofatlanta]

Never heard of this car having a bad rep.. this car is bad ass and it is one of the most reliable cars in the world still in 2023

[@anotheran]

I think he’s referring to the owners.

[@DJYAMIN107]

I can attest to the reliability and durability of the specific model he is reviewing. I have an 07 g35S with the 5 speed auto. Bought it at 93k miles, hit 185k today and i have driven that car tamely and spiritedly since I've owned it, nothing major has happened. Just brakes/rotor, oil and filter changes every 5k miles and some hoses in the engine bay(heater core hoses). Highly recommend for fun and durability.

[@BernonCars]

This one hell of a car even today. In 07 my friend had non sport g35 sedan and it would give my friends 07 Benz e350 sport the business. I had an 07 e60 550i sport and he would hang around pretty well with my car that cost over double msrp. I loved that car so much that I got a new Q50S as my daily when it came out in 2014. The early to mid 2000s was the glory days of Infiniti. I had a friend with an 05 M45 that I absolutely loved… I shopped for the M56 before getting another e60 550i lci… I was to much of a BMW fanboy at that time.

[@aleahmcgrath8924]

One of my best friends growing up had a g37 coupe convertible. Literally the nicest car I had ever been in.

[@BernonCars]

Ohh sweeeet! Nostalgic haha

[@donteadoss]

Dope review! 🔥 Just sold my ‘07 Lakeshore Blue G35S a few months ago - probably the best car I’ve owned so far having topped 157 and driving it *hard* from 30k to 208k on the dash without any major issues. Infiniti really had an incredible model lineup in that era; hopefully they’ll make some type of comeback, because the current lineup seems sadly dated and monotonous - I actually left their brand and now lease a ‘23 Sonata N-Line due to their lack of options for me. Great review though!

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! Nice. I really liked this one! It is a shame Infiniti isn’t the same as they used to be.

[@phillyjilly]

Can i ask where u sold it? I gotta a coupe and really wana sedan! U know of any trading apps? Or Infiniti clubs in fl

[@derekchisholm972]

I noticed you forgot to mention the G37 convertible (2009-15). A lot of people forget about it, but it had a hardtop and manual option. My friends dad had a 2012 G37S Convertible with the 6 speed manual and factory sport exhaust. It was a ton of fun with the top down!

[@BernonCars]

Ahh wow I really did forget about those! I know someone that had one!

[@ReadyYourLampAndOil]

Man, this could be the most enjoyable car review I ever watched: lots of humour, almost...almost no foul language (then you had to drop an s bomb and spoil that, but it's ok; you were clearly in extacy! I just might buy that one I see for sale! Thank you sir!

I’m glad to also see nice reviews like this is the Maryland area from where I’m from! This is one of my favorite sedans of all time without a doubt it it just a simplistic reliable perform luxury sedan that just has such an infamous character to it. Loving the reviews and keep them going

[@BernonCars]

I appreciate it!! More to come!!

[@PerAllwin1963]

I drive a 2008 Infiniti G35 with 130K km on it. I bought it used. The previous owner drove it rough. Still, after 16 years of constant driving, it’s still operating very well with no problems since. The only thing that ever happens is that the air pressure light comes on when the outside temperature changes drastically. Also, the driver seatbelt strap is always loose until I fasten it.

[@1mpulv]

These FM platform cars have absolutely stood the test of time. Great reliability, and tons of overhead for modding. So much bang for the buck

[@BernonCars]

They really are durable after seeing what so many of them go through haha

[@so1o2k3]

Great review and test drive! I have an 09 G37S with 6 speed manual and it's the perfect balance of cheap, fun, reliable, and practical. I got it for just over $10k last year, it has quick acceleration, handles like a sports car, is reliable, and practical (I have a family). Most importantly, it has a manual! I came from an 08 Lexus IS350 so I traded a little reliability for more fun 😂

[@BernonCars]

Thank you! Nice!! That’s a helluva car for the price!!

[@BernonCars]

[@s.platted]

Recently bought a G35XS. Ive wanted a G os 350 since I was a freshman in HS. I was able to snag one with 67k original miles. It does have a minir accident history- but i gotta say i LOVE the car. It definitely does get a bad rep for takeovers, but the car is genuinely fun to drive, surprisingly quick and very reliable. I would say the only downside is fuel economy. But, it also depends in how hard you drive it. Expect anywhere from 13 to 18 in city. A bit higher on highway for sure.

[@BernonCars]

Nice congrats! Yeah man they’re really good cars, its a shame that people trash them now

[@Tachyon836]

Agreed, I own an older G37x Sedan and its really nice. Low miles, clean body, paint chips around it, some pretty bad, but it's awesome to own. I plan to hold onto for awhile, only got 105,000 miles, bought it at 92,000. I wanted a car with a strong motor that would last awhile and still be fun to drive when I wanted. Its not a sport package, but I have modified it, normally these put out 330 hp or so, mine is closer to 365 hp if I had to guess and it definitely is faster than a normal one. Really I just wanted a fun, sporty, practical sedan. It looks pretty sick and I like it alot. There are a lot of small little issues with how it's built, that if unaddressed, can cause serious issues later. Those are things I don't like. Like Gallery Gasket Oil Leak, Sunroof leaking into electronics, subframe rusting out. But other than that, it is very solid. And yeah, they are very quick, quicker than people think. With my mods, I've been much closer to a 392 or 5.0 than I ever thought it would run though they are faster cars, make no mistake.

[@Entrelanieve]

That is why I have had my G35S MT for 6 years now. High mileage and works as a swiss watch.

[@BernonCars]

Nice!!

[@RASTALION_rawr]

My uncle has a 2005 g35S sedan he says it’s *stock plus* just meaning he modified the headlights, changed it to the black interior other than the seats still being tan (he couldn’t find the black seats he wanted) and window tint. it is automatic but it’s still an amazing car, I hope one day he sells it to me all it does is collects dust in his garage (he still cleans it every week since he details cars for a living and hates when his cars don’t meet his standards of clean) he purchased a g37S sedan and daily’s that he is thinking of getting a q50s sedan with the 3.7 all his cars have to be rear wheel drive as well but still one day I’ll get my hands on that g35 hopefully.

just buy an adapter. get an rca to aux adapter then plug bluetooth adapter into that and use it on aux mode. you can also go through the ipod cable to have all music info show on screen and have the steering wheel controls work but that's a little more complicated.
