2007 Infiniti G35 Sport 6MT - Long-Term Road Test - Car and Driver

When Infiniti’s second-generation G35 arrived at our office for a short visit in the summer of 2006, it did not take long for the staff to begin lobbying for a long-term test car. We opted for the Sport model, the only G sedan with a manual transmission. The base Sport cost $32,965 back in April 2007. Our inner glutton insisted we add the $2350 Premium package (including a sunroof, Bose stereo, heated front seats, and Bluetooth phone integration) and the $2100 Navigation package, bringing the cost... For a while, our long-term 330i inhabited the sign-out slot directly below the G35’s on the office car board, so comparisons were inevitable. The G drew early fire for its engine NVH and a stubborn shifter linked to a trigger-fast clutch takeup. For 2008, Infiniti addressed the clutch, transmission, and NVH issues, but we have to say that they are still par to the BMW’s birdie. During the first 10,000 miles, the Infiniti left its home in Ann Arbor on trips to. Source: www.caranddriver.com
