New Car Review of the 2004 Infinit I35 Mid-Size Sedan.

Description: Mid-Size Sedan
Base MSRP Range: $30,600
Invoice Price Range: $27,713.

The mid-size luxury sedan from Infiniti behaves in an aggressive manner when prompted, while serving up the taut handling attributes typical among expensive European touring sedans.

It carries the 3.5-liter V6 used in G35 cars, as rated for 255 hp with a four-speed electronic automatic transmission.

In the five-place cockpit the I35 feels extravagant with indulgent comforts extending beyond necessity. Plush Sojourner leather covers all seats and wood-tone trim applies to the center console. Bright electro-florescent analog gauges for speedometer and tachometer stand out with legible faces, and an analog clock studs the dash. Also aboard is a 200-watt Bose audio system.

Several items have been added as standard equipment in 2004, such as a sunroof, power sunshade for the rear window and body side sills. A fresh paint tint is Desert Platinum.
