2005 Infiniti G35x Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- Help us grow so we can bring you more videos! Like us on Facebook @ / 2redline Meet the vehicle that really helped to turn things around for the Infiniti brand. Today, it remains the companies best seller and most known model. Personally, we think the first generation has better driving dynamics but the second generation has a much more luxury car feeling interior. Hopefully, Infiniti will figure out how to blend the two with the upcoming third generation.

As somebody who is thinking about buying one of these, this review was exactly what i was looking for. Can't tell you how much of the information relayed here actually matters to the buyer!
You can find great condition G35x listings for well under $10,000 now. Totally picking up one of these
Your gay!
Eyacub12 skits Damn right, you know it.
Cup GOOD SAME
Everyone I find is like 80k miles and ump Don't know if I should buy out a luxury sedan with that much miles.
Ness Rosenbrad If you find yourself in the market for the coupe, make sure the windows go up and down, the window motors were known to fail and if they don't work, you can assume the rest of the car isn't in great condition either.
I have a 2003 Infinti G35 Sedan 6mt for almost 8 years, and I am still loving it. Very reliable car, no major repairs except the dashboard replacement due to electronic problems, still runs, engine is bulletproof, I use to daily it like crazy but now it's my summer car. I kept it because it's literally a fun car to drive.
6 years and counting with my 10 G37…151k miles still purs.
The G35 is the most reliable car I have ever owen. Never any kind of problems. Also I love the sound.
I can say the same for my fx35
any problems with the trans? i’m looking at one right now
i got 05x, silver with black interior(awesome) 2 years ago after seeing this video and i'm glad i did, for the money you can't beat it, it's been reliable and i haven't lost my love of it. i've only had to do the basics with it... tires, battery, wheel bearing tune up, and brakes. I have 0 regrets, i love it even though it's 10 years old now(can't tell that it is) , besides the dated instrument panel... great car.
P.S. Rain/Wind Gaurds cut down the outside noise considerably. i got the ones that fit in the window, not the ones that tape on.
204,000 miles and still strong 💪🏽
Planning on buying one. Still strong?
Hey there. Just recently, about a month ago bought from my Uncle the G35X. It’s a 2005 with 143,000 km on it. I flew to my Uncles and drove it home. Very happy with the car. It sure rides nice, plus I got a sweet deal on the car I couldn’t pass up!!
I just bought a 2006 g35x. Great car.
how is it doing so far?
+Jav M I LOVE it
does the 2006 have an available aux or usb?
eric yang nope
Got 180k on mine.. Still 💪
That engine sounds soooo good!
I love the amber lighting. it's different.
I do too. It's very Old School, and simple :)
Couldn’t have said it better
After owning a first AND second gen G35 (my 05 was actually identical to this one aside from the fact mine had grey interior&RWD) I can definitely say there are pros and cons to each. The first gen is definitely a little more raw. Feels smaller and lighter, more checkable, but it is a little slower and a little louder road noise wise. The second generation definitely comes with more tech and a quieter nicer interior. But honestly if I had to give up my 08, i'd have no problem going back to a 1st
Cheaper maintenance and more reliable than its German competitors, I know what I am buying.
2006 infiniti g35 at 275K+ miles and still a beast in the sheets… her name is Desiré
I can't wait to trade in my Altima to get an 03-05 G35.
I have a 2006 G35. Thing became my prom car and I love it :D I can agree with the sound, my friend has a 370z a says he prefers the sound of the G35 and 350z
I had the exact same model and year vehicle. Very smooth and pulled strong. The AWD was a dream to drive during the winter where I lived. Minnesnowta. Please note that the camshaft sensors on these vehicles can go bad. While driving down the road if you have a bad camshaft sensor/s the car can and will shut off locking the steering wheel, sputter and die. Very dangerous because it happened to me. I was very disappointed that something so small such as a camshaft sensor could put my life in danger. Luckily I was on a 40mph zone. I've read up on the recalls and reviews online and many people have had this experience. I had it fixed, bought a truck and sold the infinti. Never looked back. Will I ever buy another infiniti/Nissan? Maybe... if its a GTR, imported skyline or a silvia. Lol. If you plan to purchase or looking into purchasing one of these please be wary of this. Overall a nice luxurious ride for the time I had it.
Awesome review. Fast and informative
thank you!
The second-gen Infinti G35 is my favorite Infinti G, it has just about the sweetest, most melodious exhaust note you can find! Great car, and great review! Thanks!
i have a 2006 g35 x with the full premium tech and trim package... the 10 bose speakers are great, the wood trim looks nicer than the aluminium, the pop up gps is neat, just love that car
You know, it's interesting. I currently own a 2013 G37x, which I LOVE, but there's something kinda special about the First-Generation G Series. The lines are very pure, they are lighter ( and by extension, more tossable ) and the interior just hugs you like a glove. I just found one online super clean for only $6000. Talk about a STEAL for a pre-owned Sports Sedan !! Take care guys :)
My older sister bought an 03 G35 sedan, her's was silver on black. I loved when she picked me up from middle school. Got a lot of attention, than not even after a month she traded it in for a 03 G35 coupe in red/black. this was her first car ever. I have driven and rode in her car so many times but I agree interior quality was just really bad when you compared to a TL of the same year.
She had so many issues with electrical, oil leaks, coolant reservoir cracked after 14k, she had to get it towed
Yeah I thought I was tripping about the heavy steering. But I like it , to me it gives you more control and accuracy on driving
Dude holy shit same! Thought the power steering was out 😭😂 got used to it really quickly tho. I love this car
i only came here for 6:20 lol cannot wait to buy my G35 next year.
Got a 2004 G35x myself, great car, though with 170k miles, I've been repairing the suspension and axles for months. Well worth it.
Ehab Alsaada I have same model same year going through similar problems
I have an 03 and I'm still in love with it
Goddamn you gotta love the sound of the VQ35DE!! Definitely Nissan's signature engine.
I had a 05 rwd G35 I loved that car
Really great video! Thanks for all the helpful information, now im really sold on getting a 05 G35.
If you have money to repair these cars incase you have a timing chain problem or oil consumption etc. Then go for it. If you really wanna get smart about it get a good racing team like apr or nismo to modify and change a few things to perfect the engine
Just bought a 2008 g35x second gen. I have owned and driven both the first and second gen and the second gen is far superior. The engine is a lot more responsive, it has a wider power curve and revs to 7500., It looks better, and it’s more refined and feels a lot more modern. Also with the right exhaust it also sounds a lot better then the first gen.
I own a 2005 G35X and absolutely love it, handling is awesome, power/speed are very good. I disagree about his assessment on the interior, I think it's clean and simple and the amber lit gauges are great (even in the sunlight). Biggest negative is lack of an aux port or USB.
Can't you just use a tape converter to an auxiliary ?
DeliciousTea4u They replaced the cassette player with a 6 disc cd/mp3 player in 2005.
psdude23 can you put aftermarket stereos?
We have 06 M35x its so fun to drive and hustle around, it will put a smile on your face everytime you drive it. Especially pulling out to turn give it a heap of trottle makes the tail flick so fun!
Infiniti!!!! Gotta love the g35's .. So sick.
I just bought an 03 g35 and so far I love it.
how is it doing so far?
+Jav M wonderful. I recently replaced the front knuckles, control arms, and ball joints and it rides even better
James Emrick nice. Looking to get one in september!
+Jav M it's a wonderful, reliable car
getting ready to buy an 05 g35 with 107k miles, 6500.00 and really clean, I'd say pretty decent deal all around
Stick or auto
6spd g sedans are hard to come by, so most likely a 5at
+yaamanzzdee transmission don't really matter as long as you're enjoying car. I know people would prefer 6mt, some people don't like them because of traffic. Also for some State 6mt are rare, so you have to choice to go auto.
Nice man :) I just found a 2006 g35x sedan with only 66k on it I may buy next week.
1970borntorun That's a good found. Go for it man!
Bro you trying to sell the car or deter people from buying Jesus. I've had it for 5 years and love it. no qualms. This car is the shit.
Same
I've owned 3: all 05s over the years...
2 sedans (1 stick and 1 auto)
1 coupe (auto)
They're worth their weight and are very solid cars. Find a mint condition one and you're golden.
@@mike_t_007 I'm thinking about getting an 06 coupe with 130k on it for 4500. Should i go for it ?
Ariel Batyrov Only if you are sure the previous owner did all the required maintenance and the car is in mint shape.
Ariel Batyrov Did you buy it?
I had a g35 coupe and now have a g37, both died. Like these engines die in different ways, but almost ALWAYS DIE. I absolutely love my g37 but is known for having a galley gasket failure and g35's especially the uprev motors 05/06 have oil consumption issues can you can easily without knowing it burn your engine by running out of oil, my g35 coupe was an 07 with track package(19in rim) and it was the best car I ever owned and I owned an Audi b7 s4, a c55 amg and a 330i bmw but the g35 coupe was without a doubt my favorite to drive and next to my catless c55,my favorite sounding too. And next to the s4 the best handling
this one in particular is in great condition for an 05'. it was well taken care of.
just bought a g35x 2005 today
wilson chang How is it holding up after a few months? Also do you regret getting the 05 vs a newer model?
I got an 05 too
I have a 05 G35X, without the spoiler, but a very reliable car haven’t had any lights on or engine malfunctions even at 152K miles. As long as you change your oil every 4K miles or so it’ll run
Both are great cars, it's a hard choice, you need to test drive both and decide if you want RWD or FWD lol
For those who are confused: This G35 is the Nissan Skyline V35 in Japan~ And the Nissan Skyline brand still exists today, but only in Japan~ Not to be confused with the Skyline GT-R as that's a completely different nameplate, with a more sportier feel.
I'm getting one like in a week or so, it's going to be officially my 9th Nis
i like turtles.
Did you get the G35? If so, did you do any upgrades remote start, back up camera etc? I'm thinking of buying a 05 awd with 114,054 miles.
Which would be a better option a 2005 g35 or a 2004 acura tl
working on my Ls when i get it imma pick this car up 2004 doe
Thanks for reviewing this, as I originally wanted an '06 6MT as a first car in 2004-05 and of course my parents didn't agree(I later got an '08 V36 6MT Sport model. I have to say though, the first generation G35 (V35) didn't come out in 2003. It was actually designed in 1998-99 and previewed as the XVL Concept in late 1999 and early 2000. It later was unveiled in the summer of 2001 and went on sale in March 2002. Actually, by 2003 this facelift was designed & introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model.
OMG THE GLASSES!! 👓
SOFYAN LOL!!!!
btw, speaking of the IS - The 06 IS350 blows this car away in acceleration and handling - steering feel is nit great admittedly, but its also more refined by a mile
We know it’s a old car. Good video but you don’t need to compare it to newer models
These infiniti's are nice, but they really haven't aged as well as a TL of the same year has.
The Dated infotainment system is the ONLY thing or down side frm the g35 being completely timeless
I have an 06 g35x. It's a decent car overall. A little cheap inside. It feels solid going down the road. It rides well but the rear suspension tuning and geometry need work. Large bumps are not handled well. It has good power but needs to rev above about 3400 rpm to really come alive. I like the narrow feel and low cowl. It feels like a small car when driving which is nice. Gas mileage isn't great and the engine revs too high on the highway. It's around 2500 rpm at 60mph/100 km/h. It needs taller gearing or another od gear. Overall a pretty good car but definitely doesn't feel like a luxury car.
Great Review Of 2005 Infiniti G35x 😁
Should I get a 2007 Infiniti g35 sedan with premium and nav? It needs new headlights bc they are oxidized and cracked and interior door pulls are scratched up. Has 97k miles on it. Will it give me trouble?
97k miles is still a lot of miles. But it depends on your budget. All of that being said The Infiniti brand it self are good reliable vehicle's. My Uncle has had two infiniti's . He hads a Acura now with no problem, but he misses his Infiniti and my cousin had a infiniti also, eventhough it was falling apart over the years it was still running strong it was a 1993 and sold it in 2008 .Good luck on your search
I'm thinking about an fx45. Do a review on that please
I wanted something that was luxurious, spacious and powerful. I looked at the G's but they didn't appeal to me like the I35's. I ended up getting the I35 as it proved to be more spacious and a softer ride. It feels just as fast as the G but doesn't have the fun of a rwd car. Your reviews are great man, makes me wish I could also have a G next to my I35.
Infiniti's have amazing exhausts.
Just test drove an '06 coupe and an '04 sedan this past weekend. I'm looking for a reliable used luxury car and although the G sedan is definitely the most enjoyable to drive that I've tested (also tested '03 I35, '06 TL, '99 ES300 & '05 ES330), I'm still not completely sold on it because it got mixed reviews, but damn that thing can move! You ever drive any of the 03-04 M45s or any Q45s, Sofyan? I've been looking for one to test drive but they're incredibly rare unfortunately.
What year IS did you buy? I'm just curious been looking into all of these cars as well
Excellent review. All of your points are dead on. When car shopping between the G35, IS, and TSX (couldn't find a TL in my price range...) I found the IS250 to suit me best. The G by far was the fastest and sportiest, but for the time being, was way more power than I needed. The TSX felt gutless. The IS provided a luxurious environment as well as a decent amount of get up and go. That being said, I would gladly take any of the 4 cars. Thanks for the review.
The Infiniti G20 was actually sold in the UK too, as a Nissan. My mate had one
This design didn't really age well but there's no denying that this car did save the dying Infiniti brand back in 03 and it's value is amazing.
These cars are awesome! Would be my first choice among upscale sports sedans & I might actually try to buy one someday if I can afford it. I test drove a 2009 G37 Sedan a few years ago & it's just a blast to drive! Very quick acceleration, very agile handling & very supportive comfortable seats! I currently drive a 2007 Nissan Altima which is a very fun car, but this car would be a nice upgrade.
Well did you end up getting one?
@@jonathanhughman154 No. I first ended up with a 2017 Lexus IS200t F-Sport that I bought back in late 2018 & then replaced it with my current 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport that I bought back in June 2020.
For those of you who have experienced both the Coupe and Sedan, are there any noticeable differences? I really want to buy the Coupe for its styling and better exhaust note, but the sedan is so much more practical, for me especially seeing as I give my friends rides to and from places. Thanks in advance for any input.
I have a 2006 sedan. I love it. I do like the styling of the coupe better, but the practicality of the sedan. The sedan, depending on package, is actually lighter than the coupe, so you're not really sacrificing performance. If you get the 6 speed sedan, you get an extra 18 horsepower, so 298 bhp.
ewt415 I recently bought an 04 Coupe 6MT. Love it so far, and it sounds amazing. I wanted back seats for ocassional passengers. I love the styling, its quite fast. But it's not the most comfortable, but its fine for me. As for the back seats, their good for anyone under 5'5 and medium to slim build. I have had a few of my friends tell me they aren't the most comfortable because their isn't a lot of leg room. If you have more than 1 passenger often, go for the Sedan. If you ocassionally have more than 1 passenger, go for the Coupe. I have a red 04 coupe and I LOVE IT!!!
I looked at a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupé. I'm 6' 2" tall and the headroom in the coupé is not adequate. When I was driving down the road my right knee accidentally turned the key and turned off the ignition while I was moving! The Infiniti G35 Sedan has much better ergonomics, weighs less, offers all wheel drive, and costs less. I would recommend the Infiniti G35 Sedan over the coupé if you are the same height as I am.
Get the sedan it has way more space and the backseats actually recline which is rare in a sedan. The only coupe i know of that has backseat space like an original midsize sedan is the Toyota Solara coupe.
Ness Rosenbrad and the Accord Coupe
good ol' g35. love it.
picking mine up tomorrow!!!
How is it holding up?
@@Megadarklordman A piece of shit. Fucking most unreliable car I've owned. Im staying away from Nissan and Infiniti for ever.
@@LeaveYouOnRead actually?
I will give you on the rattles, but as far as peeling plastic in what areas? Using real aluminum is way better than any painted silver from an 03-04 when they finally brought brushed aluminum in 05. TL leather did wear prematurely but has since been fixed in the 4G TL. But the G35 door handles creaked, and hers had rattles as well but cant agree on wearing well
Since it had hard plastics the coupe doors had bad scratches compared to a TL thats soft on lower door panels.
I'm gonna be purchasing Metallic Silver 2006 G35x Sedan. Automatic. All Wheel Drive, 100k Original Miles, Push button Start, Black Leather Heated Seats, Sunroof & Navigation.
whats better for a first car a 2004 infiniti G35x 2005 nissan Altima or a 2006 chrysler 300 im not picky about luxury well mabye a little lol but i want somthing that has good performance n that well be reliable ive been inside the G35x its really nice but when i shut the door my arm kinda hugs up against the door panel but other then that i liked it
The G Series has been around for a long time
2012 video 2005 infiniti g35x
Thankfully I went with the 2005 Mercedes benz c320 kompressor instead of this 05 g35x both my top two options when I bought my first car, for a while I was wondering if I made mistake going with the Mercedes (only cause you can't customize a Mercedes like you can customize an infinity. There a loads of after market options for a car like this where as the Mercedes, too much aftermarket and it just looks ugly) but after seeing a full review of this vehicle, I'm happy with the choice I made :) also just a quick point I think is kinda important, the g35x I was going to buy was 500 hp!! I think the Benz I have is around 230 I think
without a doubt the g35...
I am wondering if it runs better with premium gas or the same with regular...
I had a 2005 G35X I bought new and owned for 16 years. I found not much of a difference in everyday driving between regular and premium. It never pinged or knocked with regular.
Riight!
Hmm..think ill go out for a drive, just to listen to that VQ! haha
I had this car for 13 years
and many many issues then any other car I had with interior
trunk issue
lock issue
radio issue
seat issue etc
motor is good Im really good at maintenance for my cars
my 1987 bmw with 235k miles still runs great
but the damn infiniti has so much interior issues
but that goddamn vq35 motor makes up for it in the g35
one of the greatest motors made in my opinion
love your reviews but we are here to listen to you talk about the car and to hear the car. Not generic background music. It can be there, just don't make it so we need to actually listen past the music to hear you talking about it. Not even 30 seconds in and I'm already wondering when it will fade out or will I just go find another video. Like I said I really like the way you cover cars and this is a car I'm interested in but nearly getting a headache because I'm trying to listen to your words over one of the most generic guitar chord progressions known to man....
I hope you don't see it as an insult but more as constructive criticism. Keep up the good reviews.
I want one of these so bad.
This car also known in Japan as Nissan Skyline
2014 Honda Civic LX and second-hand 2006 Infiniti G35X,which is better for new driver?
Infiniti and Hondas are super reliable so I would honestly go with the new Honda they're so nice
The 06 IS350 was a new generation and this was an old generation. Lets find an 07 G35 (the one that competes with the IS350) and do a drag race. :)
Ahh I want one so bad! But it's hard to find one with lower miles (under 100k) where I live.. Are they reliable with high miles?
Late comment but yes, these engines are bullet proof lol
180k mi on mine.. Bought it at 92k mi still running strong
ohhh redline in its awkward days :)
Has anyone had a 2004-2008 TL and a 2003-2006 G35? I just got a TL, and I really like the seats and the interior quality (especially how quiet it is), but I want AWD again, so I was thinking about the G35x. Will I be stepping down in highway road noise and seat support/softness? My car has nicer seats than some of my friends have in their houses, and I'd like to keep it that way.
bobwinslow I would go for the 07-08 G35 if you want a comparable interior to what you're used to. Or get the 2010+ model G37x if it's in your budget
Damn I had one like this but it caught on fire 💀
2005 Black Exterior Grey Leather best Car
Just got a 2003 last week
How much ?
5000 with 80 thousand miles on it. Mines a 2003 with a sport package though
+John Liberty how much do u think a 07 or 08 coupe/sedan should go for ? cuz im saving
+John Liberty i mean 05-08
Anywhere from 6-12k depending on the mileage
Can you do the 5th gen accord in the background
Can u drift the g35X?
Is this in little river turnpike? Daang thats where I live!
I really want to get this car. howmuch would a manual transmission 05 G cost?
it sucks man. Im driving an ml 350, im grateful for it but Im just hoping manufacturers would make more manuals.
I had a 2004 6 speed manual. Still miss it. Sold it as it drinking oil like coca cola.
I'd take the 2nd gen G35x over the 1st gen. The exhaust note sounds better and the interior tech toys are well worth the premium price you will pay.
Sold
Nope the 03 Infiniti g35 came Awd as well only in automatic I did some research and it appears that the 03 g35 sedan are AWD I just recently bought it and I love it but I do miss my Acura Rsx Type S had a lot of fun with that k20A2
Are all awd?
@@iceesrule75 No
Do the 5th gen Accord!!
what is the lexus model that competes with the g35?
Eric G i think. the is300 or something. g35 are entry level luxury and such as the is300 too
should i trade my 99 civic si for a 2006 infinity g35 saden it has 194xxx miles on it
No widen the search a bit more and find a g35 for less miles.
Are g35's reliable?
Super reliable
Super reliable. Great car
DESAISAHEB are those expensive to fix?
Vroom Vroom!
I
Is regular gas fine or premium gas is required and recommend?
Not 100% positive on this but I'm assuming that it recommends premium. I'm basing that on the fact that my old vq30de recommends it. (I can put more $$ in my 96 maxima vs what my brother puts in his H2..barely)
+n e w e n g i a n d premium
You can put plus or premium gasoline in cars with the VQ35DE engine like the Infiniti G35 or Nissan 350Z. Premium gasoline is recommended of course.
