Both the side chest airbag and side curtain head airbag deployed. During rebound, the dummy's head brushed the side curtain airbag and its fabric cover. The dummy continued to rebound into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury. Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. 2003 Infiniti G35 4-door 3468 front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags 112 186 69 3.5 L V6 19 26

Summary:

Coupe or sedan, these are great driver's cars.
By Mitch McCullough, NewCarTestDrive.com

The Infiniti G35 sedan is a compelling choice for drivers who want the performance and handling of a true sports sedan. It's one of the quickest, best handling cars in its class. It's also comfortable and practical, with a roomy back seat, a big trunk, and the trappings of a luxury sedan. Drivers who want a genuine sports sedan under $30,000 should take a look at the G35.

The G35X offers the traction and stability of all-wheel drive, a great choice in the Snow Belt, and a good alternative to an Audi A4 quattro.

The Infiniti G35 coupe is a terrific sports car. In fact, it might be too much car for someone who just wants a stylish, luxurious coupe, like the Toyota Solara or Honda Accord Coupe. The G35 coupe is better for someone who wants a real sports car with racecar-sharp response, someone who thinks it'd be neat to take it out on a track, even if he or she never actually does that. Yet the G35 coupe is more luxurious, roomier and more practical than the Nissan 350Z, with the big advantage of back seats.

Overview:

The Infiniti G35 badge represents a sports sedan and a sport coupe, both based on the stellar rear-wheel-drive Nissan 350Z sports car. And the 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan is available with all-wheel drive.

The rear-wheel-drive G35 sedan was introduced in March 2002, representing an affordable alternative to the BMW 3 Series sedans. It was followed by the G35 coupe, a luxurious and practical version of the Z. The new G35X borrows its , all-wheel-drive setup from the superb Infiniti FX luxury crossover vehicles.

The G35 sedan boasts all the hallmarks of a true sports sedan: powerful engine, rear-wheel drive, sports suspension, performance tires, excellent brakes, balanced weight distribution, and a driver-oriented cockpit. It handles better than most front-drive sedans and it boasts more horsepower than the rear-wheel-drive BMW 330i, Lexus IS 300, and Mercedes-Benz C320.

Infiniti's daring design, with stacked headlamps, catamaran fenders, and short overhangs give the G35 a unique look we find appealing. It's also practical, offering more interior space than other cars in the near-luxury class. Best of all, it costs less than the BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes.

The G35 coupe is essentially a longer, more luxurious GT version of the Nissan 350Z. It's longer than the Z, has a trunk instead of a hatchback, and it has a rear seat that can be used to transport the smaller members of the family.
