2007 Infiniti G35 Sport: Steering and handling

2007 Infiniti G35 Sport -- Brent Romans

Though I'm perhaps putting myself at odds with commentary delivered in previously published G35 and G37 road tests, I will state that I'm not overly enamored with our Infiniti G35's steering. It's variable assist, but in some instances – slower speed corners, primarily – the steering feels artificially heavy. Most drivers equate heavy steering as being sporty, but in this case I feel it hampers this sedan's ability to be nimble and engaging.

Otherwise, the G35 is highly capable...

I took it out on one of my favored canyon roads a few days ago. There's plenty of grip available from the Bridgestone RE050A 245/45R18 tires, and the car is solid and well balanced. You can drive the G35 Sport hard and fast and it won't complain a bit.

I test drove the 2007 G35 Sport on 8/4/2007 and I noticed two things: (1) lack of engine refinement and (2) very soft brakes. I drive a 2006 M3 coupe and a 2002 325i sedan and both are more refined and have a lot better brakes. A Civic Si feels a lot better than the G35 Sport.
