2008 Infiniti G37 Journey 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Purchased my G37 journey with sports pak in late feb. Nice finish and trim. Sexy exterior with great , easy to clean alloy rims. Still breaking it in, so it might be a minute before I open her up. Please keep her under 70 mph until 1500 miles. I was told by a very reliable source. I have had 14 BMWs and love my german cars. But I needed to change up! Infiniti should work on their dismal gas mpg (I'm getting 13.4) and tighten up the steering ratio.

Favorite Features

The entire car. The seats, the looks.

Suggested Improvements

Please address the gas mileage. It's dismal at best! Offer other tire choices. If you get a rip and have to replace your tire, you will have to order online or wait a day or so at a tire store.

BMW to G37 Coupe, What a Great Decision!

Written by: Mark on 03/14/2008

2008 Infiniti G37 Journey 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I just recently purchased the G37 coupe and I am enjoying every minute I am in the car. Prior to the G37 coupe I was driving the BMW 525i and prior to that the BMW 325i and I can tell you that the G37 coupe is more fun to drive and has more options than the comparable BMW for considerably less money. The power and sound of the 330 horsepower engine is awsome. The interior is luxurious and sporty and all of the controls are easy to use and well placed. Any person looking for a new coupe needs to consider the G37 because I believe you will be pleasently surprised that you will get so much car in this market segment for the price.

Favorite Features

Power, sporty interior and exterior, price compared to BMW 3 Series coupe and Audi A5, power front seats to allow easy access to rear seats, upgraded stereo

Suggested Improvements

None. I feel the car is perfect as it is.

Review

The newly redesigned G37 improves in many places over the previous version and Infiniti is taking big steps to get up to the top levels of luxury and performance. The G is solid, well layed out controls and tons of tech gadgets that I still need to learn all of them.

Favorite Features

Sport, nav package. Power, handling, sport seats are awesome, nicely designed interior, beautiful 19" sport rims, awesome tech goodies.

Suggested Improvements

Should offer wood option that can go along with sport packages

Review

This car has turned heads from day one. I am often with people who drive vehicles 2 or 3 times more expensive and still they constantly comment on how beautiful it is. Great power, perfect styling, and incredible luxury for the price. Only complaint is if you are over 6 ft (I am 6'2") you may have to lean the seat back a bit as to not make contact with the roof. Even with that said never once have I in the 3 months I've driven it have I been less than thrilled with my purchase.

Favorite Features

Paddle shifters, bose stereo (amazing), several seat adjustments, ipod and video connections in console, bluetooth, very attractive screen (even without GPS).

Suggested Improvements

Make seat to adjust even lower for taller drivers.

Great Value for the $ - Sport & Luxury!

Review

I did a great deal of research, and a number of test drives of Acura, Lexus, BMW, etc. before I finally decided to get my Infiniti. For me, it came down to the Lexus IS350, BMW 335i & Acura TL-S. I simply could not justify the extra $$ for the Bimmer considering what the Infiniti offered (great quality, comparable sportiness, for less money). I have not had the car long, but have already rec'd compliments on it. After all, isn't that partly why we get these kinds of cars to begin with - to turn heads?!

Favorite Features

I love my slate-blue color. The Infiniti quality and reliability.

Suggested Improvements

None yet - although the rear seat doesn't have much room - but I don't really care. I would have gotten a sport sedan (e.g. IS350) if I really wanted the rear seat room.

Best combination – Sport, Fun & Comfort

Written by: RAGU - G37S on 02/04/2008

Vehicle

2008 Infiniti G37 Sport 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

Review

If you’re looking for an all around fun car look no further. This car has the performance you are looking for and enough convenience items to make it civilized enough to deal with a 45 mile commute. I looked at a lot of different sport coupes but found this one gave the best price and performance combination. I test drove the BMW 3, Audi S5, Porsche Cayman and the Vette (go fast, go straight) – they all seem to have one thing in common 46K or better. But the Infiniti with all the bells and whistles to give the car a civilized feel still came in 5K less then the rest. The cars only drawback is fuel economy, don’t believe the MPG numbers, I am not even close. Combined city & hwy MPG is 17

Favorite Features

Short throw shifter, plenty of power through all the gears and great on the turns! Touch screen navigation with the built in backup camera.

Suggested Improvements

Placement of the start/stop engine button. Cup holder is too small.

Review

Mine is loaded journey 3k miles and pushing it for speed. Homerun vehicle. The details are excellent. Look at the wipers and the engine, all details are exceptional. Getting 18mpg city. Put the paint sealent on - Jetseal 109 and clear bra

Favorite Features

Sound system / sub woofer keyless sys looks factory wheels sport shift

Suggested Improvements

Nav could be better. Add HUD actuator for trunk lid center console is cheapest looking

Best Bang for Buck Luxury Sport Coupe

Written by: frommx5tomz3 on 01/19/2008

Vehicle

2008 Infiniti G37 Sport 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car performs amazingly well for a luxury car. It is fast and fun, but still has that "executive" feel of a luxury car. I love that by getting just the Premium Pkg, you essentially get all of the goodies that I wanted and can keep the price of this car around $37K. There really are only a couple of RWD luxury sport coupes available with a stick under $50K, and this is by far the best deal. As good as a Bimmer (I drove each several times) for about $10K less.

Favorite Features

The iPod integration, sat radio, LCD screen (without even having to get navigation), sport seats, advanced key, fantastic handling, and 330 HP (woo hoo).

Suggested Improvements

Better trunk and rear seat room. (Not that I'm expecting huge, but both the BMW and Audi A5 coupes are substantially better.) Better cupholders in 6MT version (they are square and cheap feeling, the automatic version is better). Use aluminum trim (like dash) on inside door handles vs. plastic.

Just Shy of Perfect

Written by: tklmn on 01/14/2008

Vehicle

2008 Infiniti G37 Sport 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Just replaced my 2005 G35 coupe with a 2008 G37S. Overall, I'm very impressed with the G37 - it's better than the G35 in almost every way including better ride quality, improved sound dampening, tech features (long list of them), interior design... the list goes on and on! The only changes I could suggest would include eliminating the shifter vibration, like the BMW 3-series. In my opinion, the vibration goes 180 degrees in the opposite direction of this more refined revision. Also, the torque seems to be in the mid to high rpms, and I would prefer low end torque. Unless I punch the gas off the line, it feels like I'm crawling. The G37 is a great car... just shy of perfect.

Favorite Features

Exterior and interior design, great sport seats, and all the new electronics.

Suggested Improvements

In addition to what is noted above, increase the back seat leg-room which seems like it is just a bit smaller than the G35 coupe. Also, I'd like to see front chin spoiler hang lower from the ground.

From 330i to the G37

Written by: Open Class on 01/07/2008

2008 Infiniti G37 Journey 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I have owned a 2001 330i for 4 years and have loved the car. During my research for a replacement I felt I should look at Infiniti as well as BMW (335 vs. G37). Both are great cars and if you go by just the professional drivers reviews from the magazines you might lean toward the more expensive BMW (I was). I drove them both and at the end of the day I felt the ride quality, interior layout, technology, unique exterior, and "grin factor" of the G37 to be superior to the 335. These are the things that matter to me. In addition, in the real world you will never notice or take advantage of any perceived performance advantages either vehicle might have. So, more vehicle for for 8k less..YES!

Favorite Features

1) proximity key w/ push button start 2) Blue Tooth 3) Love the fully adjustable drive seat 4) "The Paddles" (paddle shifting, yahoo!) 5) Everything else

Suggested Improvements

1) Factory drop kit to get the car over the wheels a bit more. 2) Extra cup holders, perhaps a slick pop out of the dash style (ala audi and others)
