2013 INFINITI G Sedan G37 Journey 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

...and last longer. I bought my 2013 Infiniti G37 Journey Sedan 7AT 9 months ago. This review will be 50% ownership experience and 50% buyers guide. My particular G is equipped with the smallest wheel & tire setup 225/55 R17 on 7.5" wide all corners. However, it handles extremely well in corners. There is little body roll when turning. It stops even better than it turns, and better still is the acceleration. Because of the high MAX hp rpm the car may feel deceptively lazy when cruising. But under heavy load you feel it pull harder and harder as you climb towards the Redline. I have discovered that you can drive the car in one of six combinations. D, DS, and M are the three transmission modes each can be used with or without Traction/Stability. Three transmission modes and two ECU modes. In D (TCS on), the car looks for the smoothest gear based on your throttle and speed but will still downshift if you floor it and shift at redline. I call it, "wife mode." IMPORTANTLY, the ECU will restrict power delivery below 3000 rpm and make your acceleration slower but smoother. In D with TCS off, the car changes. This toggle will change both the transmission attitude and power restriction. The car will shift at the same points but accelerates harder and shifts rougher (intentionally ;). Significantly less smooth but quicker. In DS (TCS on) the transmission logic changes. I call it, "BMW mode." TCS on still restricts the power delivery, and the shifts are still smooth. Gears are held longer so you get a smooth ride with just more engine and exhaust notes. The most notable difference is the rev matching and corner gear hold. Yes, rev matching!! So, in this mode, at a certain, "high," braking input the transmission will downshift aggressively and rev match in the process. You barely feel engine braking. when going around a turn the car will not shift up. TCS off in this mode increases the level of engine braking you feel and SIGNIFICANTLY increases the aggression level of the transmission and engine. To put it in perspective, most G37 owners do not enjoy back road cruising in DS because, even at low throttle inputs, the car will hold low gears when going around corners. M mode is manual operation of the 7 speed AT. (With the Sport Model you get paddle shifters, leg support, larger wheels 18 - 19", and better brakes. The sport trim and 6MT trim can be noticed by a more aggressive front bumper. M mode is different than D mode. All downshifts initiate rev matching by the ecu, but shift time is slower. I assume that the reason is that you are commanding the shift at random intervals instead of the transmission carefully timing them. Furthermore, the car will rarely allow an upshift below 2000 rpm. You will find M mode to be jerky when compared to D even with TCS on. With TCS off in this mode, passengers may think that your car has zero luxury aspirations since almost every shift will be a rough abrupt one. In my opinion, you should avoid this mode. I know that was allot of information. I can talk for hours about this car. Tires, brakes, oil changes are all the maintenance you'll do regularly. There are a few cool tech features. You can choose how long your lights stay on after you turn the car off. You can choose to have the steering wheel and chair adjust automatically for entry and exit. You can disable the parking sensor or change the range of warning. Both front windows are auto down. You can use the key to open all windows and sun roof. Fog lights have an independent switch. Some G sedans have adaptive cruise control indicated by a second button below the cruise control on/off button. If I could go back to my shopping time, I would have looked specifically for a RWD Sport trim. [contact info removed]

I was looking for a good performing, comfortable sedan with a manual tranny. (That narrows selection considerably.) I purchased this new with the navigation package. It now has 97K plus miles of spirited driving with zero problems. Maintenance has consisted of oil changes (I use synthetic), tires, and brake pads. There have been no mechanical or electronic problems. One note - the S model came with summer high performance tires and it was undriveable in snow. I replaced them with all season high performance and the problem was gone. It's very comfortable on long trips. The motor has a wide torque band so even in bumper to bumper traffic you can put it in 2nd and go without shifting. Braking is exceptional for a sedan - credit the larger discs that come on the S (Don't confuse the S with the SX which has smaller 17" wheels and doesn't have the larger brakes.). Handling is very good. And the power is great! I was thinking about a BMW but this one performs as well, has been more reliable and cost about three quarters of what a bimmer optioned the way I'd want would have cost. It's been a great car and I'll be keeping it for a while.

I have greatly enjoyed this car. VERY good AC and heat (Heated seats do wonders in the winter time). Controls and technology easy to navigate through and access to tech is very ergonomical. I've heard that some complain about engine noise from the cabin but really it's not that bad. If you find comfort in quiet drives, this car will still do it for you as the engine really only gives off a low hum or 'purr'. The V6 is awesome. MORE than enough power for any tight pinch, and still decent on gas. The downside is that this car TAKES PREMIUM FUEL as this is a performance engine. Due to this, it can be scary at the pump. With premium gas currently around $3.60/gal, expect to pay approx $60 per fill up (18 gal tank). I had a total of 2hr/day commute and was spending roughly $400 a month for gas which was really hurting. However, I was getting 26-27mpg due to all the highway miles. Also, value drops surprisingly quickly for such an awesome car. Bought at 201k last year. 1 year and 30k miles later, i'd be lucky to get 14k for it. Other then that, If you have a much shorter commute this car is p e r f e c t. I'd buy again if my commute was shorter.

I purchased an upscale 2013 Infiniti G37 Journey Sedan about 12 months ago with the Navigation and Premium packages that is a real pleasure to own and drive. Competitive Sports Sedan Cars are appealing and offer options that others wish for, but BMW, Lexus, Audi, or Mercedes-Benz have similar size and features. Edmunds reviews this sedan as a pretty compelling luxury sport sedan, with caveat that up against newer, more recently updated rivals, it isn't as appealing as it once was... I used Edmunds along with other sites to help make the car selection process easy. I sold my 2008 G35X Sedan with options to offset the price at sale. Beyond the personal choices you make, depreciation is the largest TCO driver. So I’d consider the makes, trims and package options, then choose or trade-off to comment on anything that is new and costs over $40K must be questioned as to why you need that or why it matters. The Infiniti Q50 Sedan as new and similarly configured would be at least $5-10K more, but some of the technology was not for me.

I purchased this 2013 Infinity G37x used with 29,000 miles. It is one of the best cars I've ever owned. This car is everything the other reviewers have positively stated. This vehicle is classified as "near-luxury" and lives up to this. Nice power from the 3.7L engine, smooth transmission, great ride, exceptional interior materials, very logical controls and nice interior displays. Handling and braking are exceptional also. This vehicle does use premium gas, but with everything said, I found this not to be a negative. This is one great car!
