Infiniti

I am looking for a luxury convertible or car. I really like the Mercedes CLK and the C class. What is your oppinion of Infiniti cars and the company. I am also considering the Infiniti G35. I am looking for luxury and very little sport. I am not a fast driver. Please tell me which car you suggest. Thank You

I don't think they make the G35 in convertible, but as a sedan or coupe it is a very nice looking car, musculear, and IMO gives you more for your money than the C or CLK.

I'd agree with Poch. The G35 coupe is a beautiful car and the price is really reasonable to for the stuff you can get in it.

i have an I30 and a C class and an S.. the respect i get from my infiniti dealers is far greater than what i ever got from mercedes.. EVEN when we got the S class.

As far as drive quality i've driven the G35 and absolutely love it.. i think it's a far better deal than a mercedes of similar price

I have 91 Q45. I have never kept a car this long. It drives beautifully and has been relatively trouble free since some initial problems solved under warranty.

Gotta agree with you. Had a '94 Q45a and it was a solid, trouble-free car. Dealer service was above average too.

For a manufacturer that almost went under during the '90ies, INFINITY certainly staged a RECENT miraculous turnaround, with the introduction of forward looking models including all of the new Nissans, particularly the "Z".

The crossover Infinity, which I particularly like, is the FX45 - spectacular!

Infiniti vs Benz

"I am looking for luxury and very little sport." You will be happier with the Mercedes. Drive all the cars that you mentioned and you'll see what I mean. The Infiniti G35 is a good "numbers" car....$, horsepower, skid pad g's, 0 - 60 mph, etc. I would put it closer to sport than luxury.
