Without question, the Infiniti G35 is a blast to drive. It's got a terrific V6 engine, razor sharp reflexes, a communicative chassis, and a perfect driving position. Its tail-happy character can be exploited by skilled drivers who disable the stability control system, and its sometimes surging powertrain is entertaining to the enthusiast. However, this car is difficult to count on and can react in unpredictable ways; the driver and the machine rarely become one. On paper, the Infiniti beats the BMW. From the driver's seat, the BMW is the better car.
