Used 2011 INFINITI G Sedan G25x 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5 6cyl 7A) Consumer Reviews
Poor powertrain
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.
Big huge mistake...don't you make it too
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"

Love it!
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 Its doesn't come with Navi but with an iPhone or any smart phone Navi is obsolete.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.
G25x Nice Surprise
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.
