I Like It - Very Much

2011 INFINITI G Sedan G25 Journey 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 7A)

2 months in so far. This car is great. The ride and handling are awesome; the ride is firm but comfortable. Hard core power-heads will want the 3.7L, but I find the 2.5L to offer excellent power. I wish it did not require premium gas. I understand that this allows Nissan to achieve higher peak hp, but the peak hp folks are buying the 3.7L, so... I am not totally blown away by the styling. Other contenders were BMW and Mercedes. I like the looks of both of those better, but horror stories about reliability and repair costs ruled them out. Style is very personal, and many will disagree, but I prefer a more traditional, angular style. Despite that, I bought this car and I am very happy.

After only owning cars from Germany and growing tiresome of the excessive maintenance cost that came with them I decided it was time for a change. Actually I was forced to change anyways due to the fact that a careless motorist killed my BMW 328xi. I wanted either a Lexus or an Infiniti for the fact that it would no longer cost me a fortune to repair or maintain those vehicles. I make 1 hour trips to and froe college and require a comfortable vehicle that I can rack up many harmless miles on. The Infiniti does not disappoint. But I must say that fuel economy isn't to much better that my BMW with a bigger engine. Also I feel obligated to mention that the cup holders are a joke and I hate them so so much! And I don't much care for the cheap hard plastics located by the steering column, should not be expected out of a 40000 dollar vehicle. But that is all the problems with my Infiniti, but I'm just nick picking the best I can, the list of complaints is much smaller than my Beamer. It also has much more space when really it's only a foot longer than the BMW. The BMW feels faster but the Infiniti is by no means a slouch. The ride quality is so much more refined in the Infiniti and it's also quieter inside the cabin. If your looking for quality, dependability, reliability, and the most value for your dollar, and inexpensive running cost with style and elegance. This is the car for you.

Confident: G37 Sedan is Definitely a great purchase!

Before making my decision on G37 Sedan, I carefully researched BMW 335i, Audi A4, Lexus IS350, the G37 Coupe (330HP). My pricing range is in between 35K - 45K. After test drove all these cars, I have to choose G37 sedan because it's a mix of quality and stylish and power. Most importantly, you could feel the car has built very solid, the engine makes you feel powerful, and confident on the street. While 335i has twin turbo but unfortunely tons of problems. Both A4 and IS350 lack of power. The G37 Coupe version is nice, but it's a bit heavier than the Sedan. also only 2 HP more than the sedan, I would recommend you getting Sedan not only I have one, but it's a better value by far.

G25 Sedan: a devil in disguise?

I bought my G25 sedan almost a year ago with 26k. Within a week, had to take it to the dealer for condensation in one of the headlights. The dealer replaced it, covered under warranty. Now just within the past month, I've had to bring it back to the dealer twice. Once for the chrome trim peeling on the center console lid and then again for a rattle in the dash/ rattle in front passenger door and broken cupholder. Once again, the dealer did all work covered under warranty. Normally I would be just disgusted with a car that gave me these build quality issues, but for some reason I seem to fall in love with my G all over again every time I get it back from being in the new Q50 service loaner!!

6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I have always been a car guy and usually change cars every 3-4 years but have owned this for ten years. I test drove an A4 and TL, found the G to have the standard features which were optional on the others, handled better and the engine feels like a V8. I have taken numerous cross-country trips, and this car shines the longer the day is. Handling is outstanding as is the power, I have owned two Corvettes but the Infiniti still can excite me and is great in the mountains. Handles great in the snow, and the reliability has been outstanding. It loses one star based on two factors-I am a bigger guy and it is snug in the drivers seat, but it adds to the sporty nature of feeling fitted to the car. The second shortcoming is the gas mileage, I usually average more than a car advertises but the G is under 20 mpg in the city and tops off at 27mpg on the super slabs, barely. The reliability is rock-solid and I hope to get another 2-3 years out of it. Hope to keep it even if I add another car. I sold my Corvette and bought the bride a Toyota, the G is up to the occasional weekend blasts on my favorite roads.

Avoid This Car Like the Plague

17 of 20 people found this review helpful

I enjoyed this car until one day it broke down by what I was told was a "rare occurrence" which turns out to be a known issue with ALL Nissan/Infiniti cars. The transmission leaked fluid into the cooling system which damaged everything the mixed fluids came into contact with and totaled the car. Despite the fact that this is a manufacturer defect and known issue (internally) they refused to fix it because I was slightly out of warranty. I always serviced the vehicle regularly, drove responsibly, and even cleaned it weekly! After consulting with a dozen mechanics who specialize in Nissan/Infiniti, I've been informed that this issue goes back to an early 2000's model Pathfinder and Nissan refuses to recognize it publicly or help anyone who has lost their car because of a defect they are responsible for. Don't take my word for it, just do some searching online and you will see that this particular model and many other Infinitis with the 7AT transmission are notorious for problems. Like I said, it would be an enjoyable car if it actually worked, but I wouldn't advise anyone to risk their hard-earned money on this vehicle or a brand that refuses to take care of their customers.

This car is really a joy to drive. The handling and power are amazing. While I don't miss winter, I am looking forward to see how it handles in the snow. Interior is great - all the bells and whistles I need. Engine is a little loud at takeoff, but I don't mind - it let's you know it's there and sounds like a muscle car. Once you're cruising, it's pretty quiet. Got the premium package and Nav system - which is really easy to use and works well. This car is a great value for everything it offers, and I get a lot of compliments.

Having had a 2006 Acura TL and a 2008 Acura TL-S I was ready for a change. While highly reliable, the front wheel drive, rattles, and so-so drive just didn't inspire. Not so with the G37S - drives like a dream, tons of power, top-notch fit and finish - rock solid and ZERO rattles. Buy it and enjoy!

Brought this car used in 2017 with 119k and sold with 155k. The car is very reliable. I live in newyork and took the car on vacations numerous amounts of time. Even drove to canada. The check engine light only came on twice. Once for a mass air flow sensor which is ended up having to be reprogrammed at infiniti. And another time when i only changed one tire. I had to change the other 3 to fix it. Besides that thisbis one of the best cars i ownes

I've been looking at cars off and on for a few months and the G37, Volvo S60, Maxima, and Genesis were on the list. Genesis was too large and I wasn't sold on the CVT in the Maxima. After driving the S60 and G37 back-to-back, I went with the G with the Premium package. Handling was a little sharper than the S60 and power is effortless. Plenty of features. The car is fun to drive. The ride is firm and on the sporty side, so if you want a softer ride, look at a Lexus. A G wants to be driven but will provide plenty of creature comforts at the same time.

Sufficient, though not massive, power from the 218 hp engine. Accelerates briskly, especially in DS or manual mode, but not a land rocket like the G37. EPA rates it only a mile or two per gallon better in fuel economy, but in real life driving I am getting around 24 mpg in the suburbs, while my friends with G37's get around 16-17 mpg. So we are talking around a 7-8 mpg improvement over the G37, which is like a 40-50% improvement. Handles and corners beautifully and is the first car I have owned that is actually fun to drive. Interior and exterior are classy and well designed. Base stereo is fine, don't understand unavailability of Bose upgrade and Navi system. Seats are very comfortable.

Bought September 2010, now has less than 4000 miles on it. Everything is fine except the rattles from the rear window area. I took it to the dealership once, but nothing has been solved. The rattles are not too bad, but still, it is definitely something prevents me from enjoying this car. Don't know whether another people have this problem or I am just unfortunate. Also, the interior storage is kinda insufficient. Overall, the rattles really ruins my confidence in buying another infiniti.

After researching several vehicles, I'm very happy with my purchase. This G37X is without a doubt the best vehicle I have driven, so much fun to drive. It's only been a couple of days so far, but there is nothing I don't like about this vehicle. It is very well made, solid, comfortable and fun to drive. If you are thinking about a sports sedan, make sure you check this one out.

I've driven the G25x for almost 8 years. It's 11 years old and i just replaced the battery on it! It has been the most reliable car I've had yet- I have brought both of my kids home from the hospital in it. It now has nearly 170K miles. It hasn't had any issues w regular maintenance. Now w my kids older I need something bigger, and I'm sure going to miss it when it's gone!

I've owned 4 other cars - Hondas, Lexus, and Nissan and so far this is my favorite car. It's fun to drive - it has great handling and the V6 has a lot of power. It's also fun drifting with it in the snow. The design of it looks sporty and stylish. The interior is also very nice and comfortable - took this on a long road trip cross country and never felt sore. And best of all- it's been reliable and long lasting. I have almost 250k miles on it and no issues. The only downside is the gas mileage - I only average about 22 mpg and it uses premium fuel, so driving it gets expensive.

2011 G25 Journey Review

I have owned my 2011 G25 Journey 4 door Sedan for a week now. I purchased it for $16,000 even with 55k on the odometer. The acceleration is great for a 2.5L V6 and the handling is amazing. The interior is quiet, comfortable, and excelling in style. Although gas is expensive, the mpg could be better. I'm currently getting 16 or 15 mpg. The car takes premium gasoline so a fill up is pretty expensive. There is plenty of room throughout the cabin and trunk. Overall, a great, reliable car with okay gas mileage.

Got this car a few weeks ago and I'm really impressed with the quality. Steering and handling are excellent. The 218 hp engine is adequate enough however it is noisy when accelerating. I feel the exterior is a little boxy looking however I had the dealership add a painted pinstripe which was on the showroom model and it seems to help the appearance in my opinion (just a matter of taste I guess). I like the unique color called 'Blue Slate' which is a combination of blue/grey depending on the light of day. The standard '6' speaker sound system is fine. The interior is first rate and mine had come with the dealer installed wood trim rather than the aluminum which I found added a richness to it.

The vehicle is solid and handles well. Greatly disappointed in the engine and transmission. Transmission seems to take forever to decide what gear to go into. Gas mileage has averaged 17.2 mpg over the 3500 miles I have driven, half interstate and half suburban. Engine is very weak and combined with the transmission you never know when the acceleration will start. Last three cars were 2008 AUDI A4 Quattro, 2006 BMWX3 and a 2004 Bmw 325i. This Infiniti does not compare at all with the driving pleasure of these cars.

Overall a great car with good performance and reliability. Got the G37 journey with the premium and sport package. Now some six years old, the car still runs and looks great. Only pitfal is the lathargic 7 speed auto that shifts too quickly to top gears and responds poorly and slowly to downshifts. Gas milage is poor with under 20 mpg common place.

I've had this car for a week and do not regret the purchase. Was wanting a 4 door performance sedan and was considering the Audi S4 but it was $60k after adding the options I wanted. Looked at the G37 and found practically everything I wanted in the S4 for $16k less. Powerful engine, nice interior, and I love the Limited Edition's exterior color, Black Malbec, essentially black until you get it in the sunlight where it is dark maroon to purple although the Monacco red leather seats can be polarizing (I love 'em!). It does seem that I see G37s everywhere though - very popular vehicle. I wish it were a little more "rare" but this vehicle is a great value and a lot of people realize this.

Just bought this car after test driving the all the competitors in the this segment. I do admit at first i did not think that Infiniti had the cache to compete with BMW, Mercedes, Audi, but after after driving all the aforementioned cars in this class, I kept coming back to the G 37. The power, sportiness, and the ergonomics could not beat for the price. I also test drove the Acura TL and the Lexis IS 350 and still the G 37 stood tall. I am very happy with my purchase. No buyer's remorse here. It is a great car with excellent build quality. I know I only had it got 400 miles but I grow more fond of this car with each passing mile that I drive.

I just purchased my G37X two weeks ago (previously owned an Audi A4). The G37 really moves! I love driving it and have to fight the temptation to step on the gas. Handling is excellent (ride is firm, as expected). I picked the G37 over another A4 because of 1) performance, and 2) I am hoping that the Infiniti will require fewer repairs than the A4. With that said, I learned that the cost of scheduled maintenance (vs repairs) is not cheap for the Infiniti. Ask the Dealer about this before you buy. Overall, at this point I am very happy that I bought the G37 and I hope that I feel the same a year from now!

I have the regualr, non-sport G37 with stick 17 wheels, and the car is still very sporty, very neutral. At the same time the ride is well composed and smooth. Interior quality is good but not great. Its about on par with my VW GTI in terms material quality for the dash and all the nobs. The fake wood ook good but I've seen better. Leather is fine, but again not the best. Layout is very logical though. Interior room is also fine, but a little less that I expected for a vehicle this size. Considering the my other car, a VW GTI, which is some 20 in shorter has nearly as much front and backseat room... I will describe the power-train in suggested improvements page.

I was in the market for a new car, due to the approaching lease end on my Honda Accord Coupe, which I liked a great deal. Infiniti was not initially at the top of my list. I test drove a near fully loaded G37X near the end of May - Sport, Nav, Premium packages included, and was quite pleasantly surprised at the ride, handling, build quality, and technical sophistication. The dealer made an very aggressive lease offer and I took it. I have the car just about 3 weeks, and am very pleased. Ride, handling, and interior comfort are all just outstanding. The value for the money on the G series sedan is seriously impressive. There are not many other makes can touch Infiniti in this category.

After I went I took the car in for a slipping transmission. Was told the car needed to be broken in and to come back in a few months. I went back in 3,500 miles. The car will sometimes search for the gear it needs. Not safe when you're on the highway and attempting to pass another vehicle. This car has the potential to leave you hanging for several seconds while it searches and eventually engages. The dealer acknowledged that this transmission is suited for a 5 or 6 speed, not a 7 but that the car does perform according to how it was built. I asked if it would take people getting hurt to get Infinity to address the problem and was told, "yes"

My lease was ending on my 08 Sentra and I immediately thought of Infiniti. Went to my dealer and test drove the G35 but it wasn't for me. My salesman then showed me the 25x and that was it. No question! Its doesn't come with Navi but with an iPhone or any smart phone Navi is obsolete. This car is definitely a head turner, love the interior, super comfortable, great back up camera and the dash is awesome. The only thing that I don't like is the loud growl it makes when you take off, its slightly intimidating but then again I've only had her for a week so I'm sure I will get used to it in time. Hate driving in the snow but I'm sure this winter I won't mind.

After having owned many Audis over the last 15 yrs, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with Infiniti. The features, handling, dealer service, built quality is awesome. I haven't had the chance to really test the car car as it is still in its break in period. The car handles great, solid, top notch leather, and stereo. I don't miss the VW/Audi dealership service. I expect to make a lot less trips to the dealership.
