2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe with Leather

For those on a budget who want a sporty-yet-refined driving experience, a good choice might be the 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe with Leather. Powered by the same 3.5L V6 engine as that in the FX35, Altima, Maxima, Pathfinder, 350Z and other cars in the Nissan/Infiniti lineup, this coupe also features a stunning leather interior and higher-end Bose stereo system. In order to appeal to enthusiasts and luxury drivers alike, the G35 comes equipped with either a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Features like alloy wheels, a two-golf bag trunk and steering wheel-mounted radio controls are standard fare, while sport packages with Brembo brakes, power moonroof and heated seats are available options.

Where does this car fit in in the Nissan/Infiniti product line-up? It is a sporty coupe that seats four. From the time maufacturing of the 240SX ceased in 1998 until the debut of the Altima Coupe in 2008, Nissan North America didn't produce any sporty coupes that seated four. When the redesigned 350Z debuted in 2002, it only seated two - a break from the tradition of offering it as a 2 or 2+2 seater. The G35, debuting in 2003 and continuing in 2004, is in a way the spiritual successor to the older Nissan 300ZX - a fast, sleek coupe that seats four. It also has the option of a moonroof - something never offered in the 'Z' line.

Now several years old, the 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe offers a superb sporty package at a low price. Mileage of 60K-80K is common for these vehicles, and, due to the luxury nature of the cars, most of them have been well taken care of. Pricing for this model starts at around $14,000 and tops out near $21,000 for those with lower mileage. Packed with plenty of power and loaded with options, this car makes a good choice for those who aim to go fast in style.
