2009 INFINITI G37 Journey 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 7A)

I am at 5800 miles on my G and can't wait to get rid of it. Worst transmission I've ever driven. The car lurches forward on downshifts, sometimes it hesitates rendering manual and DS positions useless. Even passengers notice the sloppy shift pattern in automatic. When I took it back to the dealer to repair the tranny he told me "it's the way it's supposed to shift. You're not driving a Lexus". Hmm. Do yourself a favor and get a German car or hey, how about a Lexus?

I hate this car. Every day is misery because I made the mistake of buying this car. You'll love it on the test drive. It's fast. It corners like the road is flypaper. You can smoke a Corvette C5 every time. I love a fast car, so why do I hate this one so much? Lets start with the electronics. The traction control is a menace. You have to turn it off or it will rob you of horsepower just when you need it. Not because you're about to lose it, I haven't figured out why it kicks in. The A/C is horrific. I cannot tell you how much I hate the A/C system in this car. It will not blow hot air out of the upper vents. There's nothing wrong with it, it just won't do it. Even on manual control, I can get luke warm air at best. My hands are cold you evil Infiniti engineers, not my feet. My feet have socks. I don't drive in gloves. You pick a temp and it is supposed to keep the car at the temp. It doesn't. It is always blowing super cold A/C at you, it just turns the fan down. This angers me greatly. I'm always freezing in this car. And good luck getting just fresh air. You have to turn the automatic system off and fool with the darn thing every 2 minutes. And it still tries to blow cold A/C at you. The front seat is a torture device. The seat won't go low to the floor like a seat in a sports car should. It's more like a truck or SUV driving position. I can only drive it for about an hour before my legs are in agony. The finish on the interior is junk. Just junk. The dash cracked. The faux metal accents are junk. They don't clean well and scratch far too easily (as compared to a Lexus). The power port in the dash went bad. Too scared to try and fix it. Last time I tried to fix something electrical in this car the A/C system decided to not work, at all. (Which was actually preferable.) Mechanically it has been good except for the front hubs went bad at just 100k. If I could undo just one decision I've made in my life, it would be to go back in time and NOT BUY THIS CAR!

I've had my G37x coupe for about 8 months and I can't believe I'm writing a negative review. The car was awesome for the first 10k miles. However, lately it's just been one issue after another. I went out to my car this morning and saw rust on the trunk right below the rear spoiler. Yes rust after < 1 year on a car that costs $45k. I couldn't believe it. We'll see how the dealer handles it. In additions to the rust, the car has developed multiple squeaks from the center console and right dash area. The ipod connector has begun to randomly show my iphone as disconnected even though it's plugged in. The driver's seat is also starting to bubble (common issue)
The X coupe rocks!

I’ve owned this car for a little over 6 months, and so far it’s been an amazing car. The power is phenomenal, it is above its weight class considering it’s closest competitor is the BMW 335i, which it does a great job of keeping up with and it’s 10x more reliable (believe me, BMWs aren’t reliable. That’s the reason i needed a new car). You have to remember that these are Nissan engines, they’re basically bulletproof. The style, some people don’t like the design of the grill and the entire front end. I actually really like it, i think that it exudes performance and professionalism. Yes it will whoop up on most cars that try to race it at a stop light, but your boss won’t be pissed off when he has to ride with you to lunch one day. The interior is comfortable, really snug in the back but that’s to be expected with a sports coupe. The big bulky seats in the front are really comfortable and the drivers side has a great driving position. Storage is kinda few and far between, not many nooks and crannies. While the rear seats do fold down, the tunnel is still pretty small. The trunk is really shallow, and not great for storing many groceries. Some things I would change about the car are; Bluetooth (I have an ‘09, I believe they added it shortly after), with 7 gears (I have an auto :(...) it revs really high and is very hard to “carefull”. It is very peppy and it will let you know it.... it’s also quiet heavy, so it’s not quite as nimble as a small bmw.- furthermore, I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a lower priced, fast, reliable coupe.

Great car overall, but the clutch pedal is a bit too heavy for regular city stop and go driving. I live in Philly and all Infiniti dealers are located in the suburbs. The suburban test drive and the back roads that showed off the handling really didn't reveal how tiring the clutch pedal would become in the city environment where I reside. I have a 2006 Honda Element with manual trans that is a pleasure to drive in the city with its light clutch and precise shift action. It's very, very similar to the BMW 3 Series that I recently test drove. If I could have driven the Infiniti in the city for a day or two I probably would not have purchased it despite its other wonderful virtues.
