2006 Infiniti G35 Review

High performance in a coupe or sports sedan.
Lineup
The Infiniti G35 comes in two body styles: a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe. Each offers a choice of five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. All models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine. In both the coupe and sedan, it's rated at 280 horsepower with the automatic and 298 horsepower with the manual.

Leather upholstery is standard, along with automatic climate control, power-adjustable heated front seats, heated power mirrors, a 120-watt AM/FM/CD stereo with RDS, steering wheel audio controls, illuminated visor vanity mirrors and high-intensity discharge (HID) xenon headlamps.

The G35 sedan 6MT ($31,050) features the six-speed manual transmission, a firmer, sport-tuned suspension, viscous limited slip differential and W-rated tires on 18-inch alloy wheels.

The G35 sedan automatic ($31,300) comes with a softer suspension and narrower V-rated tires on 17-inch wheels.

The G35x AWD ($33,100) adds ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split) all-wheel drive, but is otherwise equipped exactly like the automatic sedan.

The G35 coupe automatic ($32,750) and coupe 6MT ($33,350) are equipped identically to the sedans with corresponding transmissions, except that the sport suspension on the manual-transmission coupe includes 19-inch wheels.

G35 automatics can be equipped with the sport-tuned suspension from the manual-transmission models ($750 sedan, $1,600 coupe). Coupes with this Sport Package also receive the same front bumper fascia, side sills, and rear spoiler as manual-transmission models.

Options include a glass sunroof ($1,000), a rosewood interior trim package ($250), Sirius or XM satellite radio receiver ($400), a DVD-based navigation system ($2,000), and an Aero Package ($550) that adds a rear spoiler and under-bumper fairing on G35s with the sport suspension (not available on the G35x).

Premium Packages for the sedan ($3,150-$3,500) and coupe ($2,450) add the glass sunroof, premium Bose audio with eight speakers, automatic headlights, a HomeLink transmitter, dual-zone temperature control, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and other convenience features.

Safety features include dual-stage front air bags, curtain airbags designed to provide head protection for front and rear outboard passengers, and front-seat side-impact airbags designed to provide thorax protection. Also standard: active head restraints, seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren), and a tire-pressure monitoring system.

Active safety features include an electronic stability program (VDC) to help keep you from skidding off the road, antilock brakes (ABS) for maintaining steering control in an emergency stopping situation, electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) for shorter stopping distances and more stable braking, and Brake Assist to maintain full braking force in an emergency stop, even if you accidentally relax brake pedal pressure. All-wheel drive further enhances safety on the G35x AWD. Next Page
