Professional Reviews

• “The G35 has tremendous off-the-line performance and simply flies down the highway, with gobs of passing power available in any gear, at just about any revs.” — AutoWeek
• “Also in the G35's favor: a sleek wind-tunnel-shaped body with a low 0.27 coefficient of drag, plus multilink front and rear suspensions that make use of lots of aluminum, and a 112.2-in. wheelbase that's nearly 5 in. longer than that of the G35's chief competitor, the BMW 330i sedan.” — Road & Track
• “...the G35 was able to achieve a 0-to-60 acceleration time of 6.1 seconds, a half second better than the [Acura] TL, in part due to its 200-pound weight advantage. It bests the 225-horsepower BMW 330i by 0.6 seconds.” — Edmunds.com
• “Being able to downshift in a smooth, polished manner is always a boon when you're monkeying around on little-traveled canyon roads, as we often do, to test out a vehicle's handling capabilities.” — Edmunds.com
• “On the down side, the amber markings of the illuminated analog gauges and dashtop message center are downright difficult to read, and they virtually disappear in direct sunlight.” — Road & Track
• “...the new G35 has a longer wheelbase than even the 5 Series BMW, and its overall length of 186.2 in. is within a few inches of both the BMW 5 Series and Lexus GS 300/400.” — Road & Track
• “Other drawbacks include a tiny glove compartment, and the front door storage pockets don't hold much.” — Carpoint.com
• “Moreover, astounding and amazing were two words to describe braking capabilities; it halted from 60 mph in a mere 111 feet.” — Edmunds.com
• “...boasts all the hallmarks of a true sports sedan: powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, sports suspension, performance tires, excellent brakes, and driver-oriented cockpit.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Its handling is better than the front-drive Acura TL Type-S. It's more powerful than the TL Type-S, BMW 330i, Lexus IS 300, or Mercedes-Benz C320.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Stopping distances are impressively short. But brakes are too sensitive at low speeds and thus probably will cause beverages to be spilled.” — Carpoint.com
• “The G35 would have satisfied lovers of 1950s 'futuristic dream cars' and should be a hit with many 21st century sports-luxury sedan lovers.” — Carpoint.com
