Pros : power + , bose sysyem with streaming audio , navigation , interior design , price compared to others in it's class. Cons : Transmission hesitates or delays , back seat only good for kids , gas milage is just ok Let me start by saying, " this is a nice car" the build quality seems very good. The power is beyond great, and the bose system has a bass filled beat that will keep up with any. You can stream music from your phone without pluging it in (love it) flip through the songs on your phone, look at your address book on the dislay, control it all with your hands on the wheel. Also you can burn your cd's or store phone numbers on the built in hard drive.
A Refined Sports Car that's affordable

Previously owned a 2003 e39 BMW and made the switch to Infiniti after that car was totalled by a reckless driver. A lot of what drove me to the G in particular was it's similarities to my prior car, RWD (the G37x is RWD unless you're slipping, then AWD), power, a non-CVT transmission, and refinement. I like the AWD capability if I need it, but really enjoy receiving my power from the back end the majority of the time. Car will not slip in the rain no matter how hard you damper the pedal in AWD only mode. Had moderate snow last year, it plows through even with old tires. The G so far for me has been a pleasure to own. After working out some kinks that were covered under warranty, I have yet to spend a dime outside of oil and filter changes. Warranty eventually covered a leaking bank of my VCGs, but that's nearly regular maintenance. I did pay for a belt change, which should be the only time I needed to do this for the next 5-7 years. I may need a new bearing, but it will be covered under my remaining CPO powertrain warranty. Overall, nothing out of the ordinary. The dashboard does have a bit of a rattle at times which is likely anecdotal, and one thing I've noticed with mine that's happened to others is a whistling wind noise at 85+ mph depending on the wind resistance. Rather annoying two sounds that don't affect the performance, reliability, but do hamper the enjoyment a bit at times. The car however is now nearing 6 years old with nearly 70k miles, so some cleanup on those two issues is likely warranted. I bought it with 44k, currently has 68k. I have many 3-4 hour trips and a 12 hour ride on the odo so far, along with daily commute. Everything is great outside of very low speed bumper to bumper traffic. The 7spd transmission is a bit cumbersome at very low speeds (0-15mph) during traffic. The cabin and driver's position really lends you to feel confident driving it. Great visibility, and the feedback on the wheel allows you to "feel" the road. The steering is crisp and has great radius. The weight of the car causes a bit of "rolling" in corners, but I upgraded to sportier all season tires (in lieu of some softer/plusher all seasons) and it nearly eliminated roll, even at 80+ mph. In an emergency situation while traveling 70mph, I had to jam on the brakes and even while sliding I felt in full control (made it out of that situation just fine, there was a huge blown out truck tire in the road I didn't see until I was right in front of it). I could be 300lbs and 6'4 and feel comfortable in the car. Currently 220 and 6'2. I'd say the car fits 4 comfortably, without the rear passengers sacrificing any leg room. Main downside is the 7spd transmission. In regular D mode, it will ride in high gears to save fuel. You can use the SD mode or full sport mode for manual changing that eliminates this issue. Overall, the value is the best aspect on the car for what you're getting. The power, interior, exterior, options (when purchased used), are all accounted for for the least cost. Couple sacrifices being the torque rating, engine noise at high revs, build quality (don't confuse with engine reliability). Build quality can be seen in the door panel fastening, seat fastening/flimsiness, and materials used. As a tip, A couple I looked at gave off a rather strong oil smell from under the hood with very few miles, which led me to believe a lot of the used cars weren't broken in properly (manual states driver must not exceed 4k rpm during first 4k miles). Generally, the used sport models were beat up, at 35k miles and above. This could have been somewhat related to them sitting on the lot, but either way, the one I settled on didn't have this problem. Some caveats: Tons of different options and packages and the pricing was not very indicative of what options the car was sold with, so it paid to do homework on what I wanted. I was looking for all the options outside of sport model, as it was more aesthetic changes than anything else (the sport model had slightly larger brakes, which results in higher bills when they need to be replaced). The premium package (including sun roof), and 18" wheels were a must, I don't like the 17" wheels for some reason even though they are only an inch smaller. Also I feel the wood grain interior is a must as the aluminum didn't seem to match the rest of the vehicle IMO.

Very fun car to drive. Much better value than BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. People may say this car has road noise, but it is because of the OEM tires. Replace them right away. What is great about this car over its competitors is that it is not numb. You can tell details of the surface the car is on. You can feel it in the wheel and pedals. You don't want a car that is numb (BMW, Lexus etc.), unless you are driving in the city a lot, in which it's pointless to have a 3.7L V6 engine. So, the transmission isn't super smooth and F1-like in it's shifting speed. I like to feel when the car shifts. The G is a higher performing Maxima that looks better.

This has good to great handling, very quick acceleration, superb braking. Front seats do not support the hamstring properly, so somewhat uncomfortable. And, the ride is very stiff, so you will feel every bump - not for everyone. My biggest complaint, tho, is the GPS. You pay all this money for this device, you expect it to reliably choose the shortest/best route. This one does not (and I have compared it to others). It frequently gives bogus instructions to change your route, when no such change is necessary or desirable. My complaints to Infiniti have been met with the usual shrug - canned, meaningless responses. My advice: us your cellphone - no map updates needed, & traffic incl
Fun at first....novelty wears off

At first, the power, the handling the looks are awesome....but after a few months, it just became another car at which point, I didn't appreciate the crappy gas mileage and the hesitation if you didn't use premium. not that comfortable for more than an hour to 90 min....would start to want to get out of the car. the car is fast, though and fun to drive
