Used 2008 INFINITI G37 Consumer Reviews
Sexy and Peppy
This is not a good car if you need to put anyone in the backseat. Unless they are small, you might have to pry them out with a crowbar. Since it is a 2008, it doesn't have all the safety features the new cars have, but what it does have works great. It's a lot of fun to drive, it hugs the road even in rain, and the front seats are sooooooo comfortable. This is the second one I have owned. I'm going to go for a small SUV next time because I do need more space to haul people and stuff.

Love this car!
3/12/2022: I sold my 14-year-old G37 in January, but not because of any fault with the car. At 78 years old I felt that I needed a newer vehicle with a back-up camera and other technological safety features. Additionally, I have finally retired and the car was sitting in my garage unused for days at a time. I had owned my 2008 G37S since October 2007. It had been a very reliable car and, unlike a BMW, I didn't see "my" car every day on my commute to and from work. It was great to drive on two-lane country roads and interstate highways. The trunk is small but the seat back folds down allowing suitcases and several cases of wine to be carried home returning from a vacation in the Finger Lakes region. 8/23/2020: Still love the car. I have not yet seen a 2020 car with a manual transmission that I would rather own. No squeaks or rattles, and absolutely no oil consumption at 136,985 miles. 3/8/2021: 138,228 miles. Haven't added many miles since last review due to working from home because of the pandemic. Only maintenance has been battery replacement. Have not yet been tempted by any new car offerings. It's still fun to drive and remains reliable. Attended a memorial service for a friend last year, a 600-mile round trip. I chose to drive the G37 over my '09 Boxster S. The G37 may not challenge the Porsche on the two-lane back roads of Pennsylvania, but it was hands-down my choice for the interstates!

Love this car!!!
We had been looking for over a year and fell in love with this car first drive. The ivory pearl color is gorgeous! The car gets a lot of stares. It is hard to keep it at an approved speed because it is so fast and fun to drive. Love the seats and the interior comfort. I haven't even begun to discover all that the car offers as far as technology. The car sounds real beefy. Love the 19" rims.
Fantastic Car
I've driven all sorts of sports cars. I was looking for an all around sports car that would get me through a winter as well. This car delivers. It's not going to beat many other sports cars off the line but that mid powerband in the car is wonderful. Steady constant power all the way through the large band. One thing I don't particularly like is the clutch seems a bit mushy. Overall though this is a much sexier car than a 335 by BMW. With the blend of luxury and performance there really isn't anything out there in this price point that competes with it well.
Great Alternative to German Coupes
I've had a 330Ci & M3 before getting the G and I have liked most things better. The bimmers seem quicker since the G is such a heavy car. However, the G seems more refined than the M3 which suffered from a loose and clunky differential. The G's differential is much tighter giving an overall smoother & solid feeling. However, the clutch uptake is abrupt (similar to bmw). The navigation of the G is more user friendly, even compared to the iDrive in the newer bmws. It is touch screen and voiced activated. The G37 is a better value since you get more included options rather than having to add them separately like German cars.
