Performance, Luxury, Personality

Reviews seem to be pretty consistent on the 3- series/G-series rivalry vis-a-vis performance, lavishness, etc., and I have to agree. I just traded up from a 323i, and although that's an older/lower end car, I do have to say the performance:luxury ratio is far more skewed towards power in the case of the G37. That said, I find it to be a very comfortable, stylish ride, FUN to drive (strong emphasis there), and (especially living in CA), a beautiful, unique, stand-out car. "Bang for the buck" doesn't begin to describe it. Given the choice between a G37 and 335i, I'd still take the G. Implied note: Audi/Mercedes/Lexus -- no comparison.

2nd Infiniti

This is my second Infiniti. My last vehicle was a Cayenne, however, I wanted to shed myself of an SUV while maintaining the versatility of AWD. I decided on the g37x coupe based on the reliability and performance factor of my previously owned Infiniti FX 35. My FX never, and I mean never, went back to the dealership. I had the oil changed every 3,000 miles at my local service station. I test drove the BMW 335x and could not justify spending the difference in price for a comparable car. The g37 coupe is comfortable, handles well and has insane acceleration. The standard feature list far surpasses any of its competitors from Germany. I would definitely buy it again.

G37X Will Not Disappoint

Just took delivery on an 09 blue slate off the lot and drove it home last week. What a machine. I traded in an 04 Honda Accord V6 for this and could not be happier. Still waiting to see how the mileage shakes out, but I really do not anticipate a car like this getting 25 MPG, more like 20-22. I was worried about the back seat being too small for my family. I have two young boys, only one in a booster seat and there is room for both of them and an adult if need be. This would not be practical for the main family car, but it is a great second car and one that will turn heads.

I'm a hardcore sports car driver/fan. I take the G37 to the back canyons every weekend, and this car never disappoints. This car comes to life to its famed character beyond 50MPH, where its 330 horsepower shines. Not blazingly fast off the line, due to relatively low torque figures and rather substantial weight; off-the-line is fast but not heroic (i.e. will be beaten by the 335 off-the-line but can catch up as speed picks up. Stock/non-sports-package brake setup's rotor is prone to warping, but braking performance is excellent. Overall GREAT car. Not a single day I regret my purchase.

The King is buried and gone!!

I have owned many vehicles including the KING of performance, the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE and yes the Bimmers are a blast to drive they just lack all of the other stuff you would expect when you are purchasing a luxury vehicle. Simply the Infiniti G37 gives you the performance of the Bimmer but for a whole lot less and ten times more technology and features you cannot even get on the BMW. I know, I know, people always say if you can afford a BMW then money really is not an issue but in this day and age $10k is still $10k. Unless you must have those three letters in your driveway, get the Infiniti G37xS and if you want to blow $10k buy some GM stock.

G37X Sedan

The car has a real nice ride to it and so far I'm very happy with my purchase. I haven't had it that long to really comment on the mpg but so far it's about as advertised. I only have 2 complaints about the car, 1) when you take your foot off the gas and the car begins to slow down it has a rough downshift from 3rd to 2nd. Not something you'd expect from an auto. 2) the brake pads give off way too much brake dust.

Great Sports Sedan

A great blend of sporty and luxury, with an emphasis on sporty. It is such a pleasure to drive, I'm always anxious to drive it. The ride is firm but it handles and accelerates with the best of them. It's a monster car in civilized clothing, very understated, which I like. I used to want a 3 series but now, not as much. The reliability and value makes it favorable. The brakes are a little touchy but I got used to it. The exterior style is nice, clean. If Infiniti maintains its performance, quality and reliability while keeping prices reasonable (MSRP is high) with this car, then they probably have long time customer.

Incrediable Driving Machine

I did an extensive research for a while. I was comparing a couple of cars: BMW 328i, Infiniti G37, and MB C350. Eventually I went for G37. After driving 1500 miles, I'm glad I made a right decision. This is an incredible driving machine with tons of power under hood. The curb turning is really great and better than 328i. I feel so thrilled whenever I do 0-60mile acceleration. This is the best entry luxury sports sedan by far.

Final Decision - '09 G37 Journey Sedan

I shopped for some time comparing cars-planned on a BMW but the $9000 diff was too much to contend with. The character of the car is amazing. It's a rocket when you want it or a quiet cruiser. Went to the dealer for a coupe came out with a sedan with no regrets. The engine is the MOST responsive I have owned- quick revving. The transmission is great. I have noticed that it does well in just about every situation except for quick stops - can't shift down fast enough I guess. Otherwise it has aggressive shifting pattern that I prefer - smooth and determined. Personally I think the car is under rated always compared to BMW when $ and reliability really make it the better choice. Biased reviews?

Not overly impressed for the $$$$

Plenty enough power which probably accounts for the less than average advertised fuel economy. I'm averaging just about 20mph city&highway without really pushing it. If you're planning on driving it (mine is the x version),in the snow I wouldn't recommend doing it with the factory Dunlop so-called all season tires. They are useless in the snow, and defeat the purpose of the new all wheel drive system. I replaced mine with the new Continental Extreme DWS's, and WOW...what a difference. Unless my car is an exception, be aware that there seems to be a noticeable lag when shifting from the auto to manual mode. Otherwise, for the most part, relatively satisfied so far after 3,000 miles.
