Infiniti G35 Reviews

"The G35 has tremendous off-the-line performance and simply flies down the highway, with gobs of passing power available in any gear, at just about any revs."

"Also in the G35's favor: a sleek wind-tunnel-shaped body with a low 0.27 coefficient of drag, plus multilink front and rear suspensions that make use of lots of aluminum, and a 112.2-in. wheelbase that's nearly 5 in. longer than that of the G35's chief competitor, the BMW 330i sedan."

"Moreover, astounding and amazing were two words to describe braking capabilities; it halted from 60 mph in a mere 111 feet."

"...boasts all the hallmarks of a true sports sedan: powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, sports suspension, performance tires, excellent brakes, and driver-oriented cockpit."

"On the down side, the amber markings of the illuminated analog gauges and dashtop message center are downright difficult to read, and they virtually disappear in direct sunlight."

"Other drawbacks include a tiny glove compartment, and the front door storage pockets don't hold much."

"Stopping distances are impressively short. But brakes are too sensitive at low speeds and thus probably will cause beverages to be spilled."

"...the G35 was able to achieve a 0-to-60 acceleration time of 6.1 seconds, a half second better than the [Acura] TL, in part due to its 200-pound weight advantage. It bests the 225-horsepower BMW 330i by 0.6 seconds."

"...the new G35 has a longer wheelbase than even the 5 Series BMW, and its overall length of 186.2 in. is within a few inches of both the BMW 5 Series and Lexus GS 300/400."

"Its handling is better than the front-drive Acura TL Type-S. It's more powerful than the TL Type-S, BMW 330i, Lexus IS 300, or Mercedes-Benz C320."

"Being able to downshift in a smooth, polished manner is always a boon when you're monkeying around on little-traveled canyon roads, as we often do, to test out a vehicle's handling capabilities."

"The G35 would have satisfied lovers of 1950s 'futuristic dream cars' and should be a hit with many 21st century sports-luxury sedan lovers."
