We hated this car so much that we returned it 9 months before the end of our lease and paid thousands just to be rid of it. The car looks great but driving is a chore. Steering requires effort, engine noise will wake the dead. Everyone thought the car had an exhaust leak. Transmission is horrible - difficult to launch smooth. Gas mileage is around 22 combined. It misses the mark in luxury by neglecting amenities found in competitors, such as cooled seats, front sensors (only has rear), rain sensing wipers, wood steering wheel. On trips longer than 30 minutes it is not comfortable and the cabin is very cramped. No wonder they stopped making this car. We ended up turning the car in early and paying the last 8 months without having the car - that's how bad it got. In retrospect, I would have transferred the lease to another person with 12 months to go which would have saved quite a bit of money.

2012 INFINITI G Sedan G25 Journey 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 7A)

The G25 is a great car. a few short comings include exterior visibility, specifically the side mirrors do not extend far enough out leaving dangerous blind spots. This has been fixed in latest Q series. The rear seat should fold down similar to Audi's, the luggage area is small with the shock towers and folding rears seats would help; this has not been modified in later models; c) the twist switch for the headlights on the directional stalk twists to easily and lights get turned when hitting the stalk-also fixed in later models. Mine seems to down shift very hard and if in driver control mode, the driver can shift down and the auto feature kicks in down shifting again almost immediately.

2012 Infiniti G25x

This a good car, especially for practical drivers looking for a car with good looks and a touch of fun. The acceleration isn’t as great as its counterpart the G37, but for daily driving it has efficient acceleration. The chassis is pretty nimble and it handles well around corners and turns. The exhaust sounds good for a 2.5L V6 which is something I like. The lack of NAV and Bluetooth (for music; not hands-free which is available) is fairly questionable for a luxury sedan, but nonetheless it’s solid overall. You could always just use a USB to connect the phone, that’s what I use. I get around 21 driving purely city and about 23-25 mostly highways. The fuel economy is much better than that of one of my friends who drives a G37 getting 17-18 city, and only about 22 highway. I guess that’s the price for great performance though. Another turnoff would be the premium gas which doesn’t feel entirely worth it for the performance of the G25x compared to a G37, but it is what it is. Overall this car is pretty good and reliable as well. It won’t give any real issues as long as it’s maintained properly like how all cars should be. It’s relatively inexpensive to repair compared to other cars and most luxury cars. Would recommend.
