2006 Infiniti G35
Sunday, June 4th, 2006
Prior to the introduction of the G35, Infiniti’s entry level sedan was called the G20. The first generation of the G20 sedan was sold in America from 1991 to 1996. After taking a two-year break, an all-new G20 was reintroduced for the 1999 model year. In early 2002, the G20 was replaced by the 2003 G35 which had more power, a roomier interior and all-new styling.
The 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe adds new bi-xenon headlights, revised taillights and available Rear Active Steer. The Premium Package offers available Intelligent Key and Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone system. Coupe Sport Package changes include a unique front fascia, side sills, and a revised optional rear spoiler. The G35 Sedan adds Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System and optional satellite radio to the Premium Package.
The G35 is a pleasant car but has some drawbacks. Its 3.5-liter V6 engine is strong, and the automatic is exceptionally smooth. Routine handling is fairly agile, but at its limits the tail slid out a bit too easily on our test car, even with the standard stability control. The ride is comfortable and quiet. The power-seat controls are poorly located and confusing to use, as are a few other controls. A coupe version with a six-speed manual is available. All-wheel drive on the sedan helps with snow traction. Infiniti has revised the interior with better materials and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Expect a freshening for 2007.
