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

Review

Came out of an 04 350Z. Have always loved the G. Car has a fantastic ride for the 19" wheels. Exceptional handling and what lines. One of my fav features are the seats. The music box is all I listen to now and is awesome. Tires are starting to feather a bit on front already, will most likely give me the dreaded tire growl at only 4K. yuk Nissan. MPG 20, who cares, this is a sports car and yes I run premium. Absolutely love pushing that start button every morning and hearing that feral sounding music in back.

Favorite Features

Seats, exhaust, wheels and calipers, styling, illum doorsills

Suggested Improvements

Oh no tire feathering again :( The MID is really kinda pointless. All I really use it for is for outside temp. Tranny is still a little notchy and slow shifting, but so was my 350z.

Amazing Car

Review

Just got the car! Journey with Prem. Pkg., Navi, Illuminated Kick Plates, Cargo Net. What an amazing car! I searched and searched and test drove and test drove. The car is luxurious and appropriately sporty. I forwent the Sport Pkg. because I am 36 and the sportiest car is no longer the most important to me. The all season tires should last a bit longer. The ride is a bit nicer and the seats are just as comfortable in my opinion. I don't think I'll miss the larger brakes and the limited slip diff.

Favorite Features

The engine! The nav system! The auto trans! The seat comfort! The sexy look! The fuel economy (24 hwy for a 330 hp car is awesome)! Just a wonderful car!

Suggested Improvements

Make the wood trim standard and the aluminum trim a free option. Split the rear seats for folding. Tilt reverse mirrors. I little more insulation to deaden road, tire and wind noise. These are all minor though!

G37 6MT sport edition

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

Review

I bought the 6MT version with the manual 6 speed, nav, prem, tech, all wheel steering. I love everything about the car. Handling is unbelievable. Acceleration is fantastic. Bose system great. Wonderful to be able to store CDs on a hard drive and not carry them in the car. Don't buy this car and complain about the MPG.

Favorite Features

Music system, handling, design

Suggested Improvements

Plastic thing in middle of back seat.

Nothing bad to say about this car. Great looks, great inside and out. Would buy another in a heartbeat.

Favorite Features

Looks, Nice acceleration, smart placement of controls and buttons. 19 inch wheels.

Suggested Improvements

Put a V8 in this baby and you would have the best 2 door coupe on the market.

Born to Run

Review

We've wanted an Infiniti Coupe for two years, and we're glad we waited for this one! Great power, great handling. Intelligent Key System and Push Button Start make life real easy. Got it in vibrant red with chrome wheels. Definitely get premium, navigation, and sport packages, they're worth the money. Suggest you get it detailed immediately and then have certified installers put on 3M clear bra (protect your investment!).

Favorite Features

Acceleration, handling, looks, iPod interface, dual zone temperature control, backup camera.

Suggested Improvements

None at this time.

Review

Bought a G37 S Journey with sports package nav, premium, 19 in wheels - loaded. Got the auto, disappointed infiniti does not have a 6 spd auto or DSG type transmission. I would say this is the only issue with the car. The car is responsive, steering is a little light at high speeds. Controls are easy to use- voice commands in the car are easy. The interior is good (not as good as an audi). I would recommend black interior which has white stitching. The tan or gray interiors look cheaper. Gas is atrocious but there is cost for the pleasure you get when driving this car. I am happy overall. Consider a 335I coupe and M3. Got the car below invoice.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, nav, back up camera.

Suggested Improvements

6 sp or 7 sp auto, would be nice to get would trim in sport version.

Traded in my 6YO E55. This car has less stowage and torque - but the ride/handling quality and feature set are unbeatable.

Favorite Features

Ride, handling, style, sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Improve MPG, widen low-end torque (less than 3K RPM).

Review

2 weeks and 500 miles later I still have a huge smile on my face each time I drive it. Got the premium pkg with 19" sport wheels. I now look foward in the mornings to start her up and head to work just for the chance to drive this car. Acceleration is FUN-nominal and this car turns heads ever where I go and each compliment are very positive. There is nothing I would change on this car, its a pleasure to drive everytime. Each time I get out of the car I find myself looking back with a smile wishing I could just keep driving. Test drove the BMW 335i, Acura TL & Lexus IS350 and none had it all wrapped in one beautiful pkg as the G37 did.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration, handling, iPod interface, technology and the look and out right sexiness.

Suggested Improvements

Put a disclaimer on the car reading: beware "Wife will want to drive it more than you".

Best Buy

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

Review

The G37 is a best buy for the money. I've always liked the G35 coupe, but exterior and interior improvements in addition to the 330 hp engine make me glad I waited. The base model is loaded with standard features, including numerous safety and security items, so I'm pleased to not need nor pay for the sport, premium, navigation nor tech packages. The G37 is a great buy for a luxury sport coupe.

Favorite Features

Looks cool, runs great! 330 engine. Smooth 5 speed. Flat folding rear seat w/ touch button sliding front seats for easy loading. Five spoke 18 in. wheels (19 in. look like stage coach wheels).

Suggested Improvements

At the escalating cost of gas, wish 87 octane were okay to use. Not real crazy about the chrome edge on the trunk, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

Review

Now that I have driven over 5000 miles in this dream, I have to make a change to my earlier review. First of all, the MPG has definitely improved. I was able to drive from Miami to Jacksonville without having to refuel! I even had about a 1/4 tank left after the trip. Secondly, I still think the seats are too narrow in the front but they are bolstered very well for aggressive corners. Finally I complained about the build quality and interior design but they are both excellent, I just wish these birds would stop targeting my paint! Infiniti has a winner here. Go out and buy one you will love the drive, the performance and all the attention and compliments you get.

Favorite Features

Acceleration swell, the navigation interface, handling, looks, and the fun factor of driving it.

Suggested Improvements

The seats are too narrow in the front.
