2003 Infiniti G35
The 4-door 2003 Infiniti sedan and the 2-door 2003
Infiniti Coupe have a number of shared features and
options. They are fine additions to the near-luxury
class and have received acclaim for handling, ride and
roominess.
Infiniti has given the consumer a wide range of options
with which one can pump up the luxury factor. On top
of a generous collection of standard features on the
base model Luxury edition, a large collection of add-ons
can be ordered for the Luxury Leather, sufficient for
the most picky comfort and gadget mad purchaser.
Under the Hood
Both vehicles share a rear-drive V6 with optional 5-speed
automatic or 6-speed manual transmissions. The engines
produce the same amount of torque, with 260 lb-ft at
4800 rpm, but the Coupe is a smaller car and has 20
extra hp (280hp at 6000 rpm to be exact), which gives
it punchier acceleration. However, both models have
the passing power to get you out of trouble at highway
speeds if menaced by an 18-wheeler or wanting to pass
a slow-moving Winnebago.
Front-side and dual front airbags combine with 4-wheel
disc brakes, brake assist and an antiskid system to
enhance the safety of Infiniti Drivers and passengers.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The standard features are quite generous on the Infiniti
but a broad range of add-ons is also available in various
options packages. To start with standard features on
the base model Luxury Edition: an in-dash 6-CD changer
with AM/FM and cassette, automatic climate control with
A/C, bucket seats, cruise control, tachometer, tilt
leather-wrapped steering wheel, while power door locks,
windows, mirrors and steering, and remote keyless entry
allow much to be done with the touch of a button. A
theft-deterrent system to protect all these luxuries
is also standard.
A move to the Luxury Leather Edition adds leather upholstery
throughout, steering wheel radio controls and an 8-way
power driver seat and a broad range of options packages
not available for the base model.
These options packages hold the real variation in choice.
The Premium Package upgrades the driver seat, climate
controls, power sunroof, wood interior trim and a Bose
sound system. The Winter Package adds heated front seats
and a full-size spare while the Sport-Tuned Suspension
Package makes the drive more aggressive with a rigid
sport suspension. It also tweaks the styling with titanium-finished
interior trim and 215/55WR17 tires. Add the Aero (aerodynamic)
Package to this and underbody side fairings and a rear
spoiler reduce wind-drag.
Finally, individual add-ons can be ordered for the
Luxury Leather, for example, a navigation system is
available for those who need it, although the premium
package is required.
