M35 06-08 was powered by the ever reliable VQ35DE and 5speed automatic 280hp, expect your trashing in multiple folds from the G series and the V6 Maxima grin, it's a reliable engine with smiles per gallon , superb interior finish and top grade luxurious finish in the interior. What more can a man ask for

thanks for your usual quick response, however could you break down this line further "expect your trashing in multiple folds from the G series and the V6 Maxima" ? You didn't answer me regarding the problems of the car, resale value, fuel consumption and other things i need to know. Don't forget it's my first one.

It uses same engine as the early G35 and identical stats with Maxima the M is heavier, the VQ would find it easier to pull the G35 and Maxima than the M, later on the G35 had a newer Engine with 7speed instead of 5 speed transmission.

The car has no general problem, the car resale value isn't poor but too many competition so selling may take a while, fuel consumption is above average but better than SUVs

I don't know why I admire that 'baby usurper' very much as I ride I need to upgrade to next year.

I love the ruggedly looking style of the volvo Xc60 and Xc90.

Honestly for me it comes down to which is available in trim I like.

Aite sounds good. What are the other things you think i need to know? Note that i might not ask you some questions because it's my first and not too conversant with cars, so you could use your experience and expertise to relay them to my understanding. Pls i hope you understand this line

What about availability, price and sales of parts? Availability of experienced mechanics? Resale value?

The gas mileage of the g35 is not really that poor/bad unless there is an issue or you are often stuck in traffic.

I have being using the g35 (2003) for 4+years and my combined gas mileage is about 20miles/gallon on regular petrol (without boosters).

Daily driver. That's the only car I have, sef.

HeavenlyBang:


07-2010 have Aux, definitely.

Octane boosters help improve quality of fuel. Nigerian fuel is bad.

In terms of fuel consumption, probably AN SUV like the Acura MDX. Also the LX470 should be similar.

Parts are available but not as available as the ES350. ES is very very popular and shares parts with the Camry Muscle V6, so it shouldn't be that surprising.

I don't see anything particularly complex about this car's mechanical aspect. Just be sure to keep to factory standards, especially with the electrical parts.

Your 2003 G35 uses a VQ35DE his G35 uses a VQ35HR (High Revving)

You should focus on Benz if you prefer German. Don't go near that A6 as for the X3, You will need a good technician for fixes

If its his first car, he shouldn't try doing an Infiniti. He may not be able to handle it except he's made of thick skin.
