So I have had the 2007 Infiniti G35 for three days now and its really grown on me. There are a couple of things I like about it and a couple of things I dislike about it, here is my list so far:
– Key-less entry. I have a small key chain I keep in my pocket, once I touch the door handle the car gets unlocked. Whats cool is when I had the key chain in my jacket pocket and I kept my jacket in the car and I tried to lock the doors it wouldn’t lock, the car knew the key was inside the car not outside it. What I dislike is when I touch the door handle only the driver side door unlocks, I need to unlock the other doors using the door unlock button located inside the car.
– Reverse camera. I first saw this on the Infiniti Q45 two or three years ago and now its becoming standard on more and more cars. If only there was a way to activate it without going into reverse, it would be a cool way to spy on the people in the car behind during traffic.
– Sound system. Its Bose which I dislike but surprisingly its pretty beefy. Loads of speakers scattered all over the car and the bass isn’t lacking. Car also has video and audio RCA inputs so you can hook up your iPod Video and just watch videos or listen to music on the screen.
– Steering wheel. Its covered in thick hand stitched leather and it gives the car a very lush feel.
– Center console. Its a love hate relationship. It feels very Japanese which I dislike. I prefer the design of the Europeans. The interior of the Infiniti reminds me a lot of the Lexus which makes sense since its also a Japanese car.
– BLS or G35? Easily by far the G35. I think I will post a more detailed comparison later.
– Acceleration. 0 to 100km in just 5.3 seconds, do I need to say more?
I can’t believe I have to give this car back in a few days.
update: found a bunch of settings I can change using the settings button on the console. I figured out how to turn on the option that allows all the doors to open when I touch the door handle, I also found other nifty options like how dark should it be before the car lights automatically comes on and other little things like that.

mark… you can unlock the doors from the remote control by pressing the unlock button twice… you can also change the prefrences of the key using the on screen controls
I really was going to get the G35, but decided to hold out on the coupe.. I hope it comes out very soon :/
what a nice cars Infiniti are producing !!
i did a comparison on both the Infiniti G35 and the Lexus ES350 for my mom, lexus is cheaper by 1000kd and has less power (272hp while the G35 has 327hp)
but has almost the same specs. and fetures (except for the rear camera) and has good value for money, in 4 or 5 years from now you can sell your lexus without loosing THAT much of money. but here in Kuwait Infiniti doesn’t sell.. too bad for such a nice car.
Infiniti is made by Nissan?
bo9agr,
actually the Lexus IS300 is G35’s competitor which has the same specs in addition to Navigation and Bluetooth. IS300 is also alot less powerful(like most lexus cars) and its rear seating space is awful.
Don’t forget that lexus offers variations of the same model (base, medium options, full options), and their new redesigned models (full option) have all rear cameras, while Infiniti only offer one full optioned choice.
How much does it cost?
The G35 is KD11,000 and I think thats the fully loaded version which I am driving.
I really think that this is a quality car! Two thumbs up from me! I really liked the two door version since you could also modify it a bit!
Its a nice car which is open to some modifications and thats what I like about this luxury car!
Unbeleivable vehicle. I had the chance to test drive it in Dubai and compared it with the Lexus IS 300 & the BMW 3 series. Far superior in terms of performance, driveability & torque. Huge modifications that Infiniti has done in terms of spaciousness, design and interior quality. Love the dashboard, the magnesium F1 paddle shifters & not to mention those LED tail lights that others still dont have! You gotta drive it to beleive it..for me I like being unique not to follow others and with this car I will definitly stand out..
Firo sounds like he works for Infiniti
ditto to what Jaggo said
the G35’s price tag at the show room was 11750 kd, while Lexus ES350 costs 11200 (w/o sat-nav) but we took it for 10500 kd.
I want! 🙁
Can I get a drive in it Mark?
[Just say yes, I don’t think I’m going to get one.]
yup 11750 is the list price but after discount its 11000. Lexus is cheaper but its also only 272HP and gets you from 0 to 100 in 6.8 seconds compared to Infinitis 327HP and 0 to 100 in 5.3seconds. But I haven’t driven the Lexus so I can’t compare, anyone here from Lexus? hint hint
What do you do to get to test drive such a nice car, lucky man 🙂
In all honesty the G35 is aiming for the GS350 and not the IS350. There is a decent difference in price tag though.
I do like the G35 though.. looks nice!
The boot is nice, could fit a large male easily or two of a more petitte build. 🙂
GS350?? there’s only GS300 & GS430 (in q8) and GS450h in the states, and the price tag for the GS300 is around 15k
Im not sure if its available in kuwait, but GS350(2007) was released as a replacement for GS300(2006) with a better engine.
We bought the GS350 when it first came out in the States about 4 months ago. Love the car. 50 more horsepower than the 2006 GS300. Better performance than the GS430.
nothing is better than Lumina s 2007.
anon i think you mean nothing is worst
The Lumina S 2007 rocks!! Looks that can beat the pants off any infiniti or lexus…
Infiniti is by far superiour and more elegant. It is more comfy and fun to drive. It out performs the BMW and lexus not to mention a 9G harddrive to store music. Infiniti with out a doubt has overdone it this time. Has anyone driven the 2008 Infiniti M35x? it has speakers built in to the seats for christ sake.
