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.
Love this car
I test drove every AWD in this class. btw could not believe the Lexus 250 - the interior looked and felt cheap, and drive wasn't great. I just kept coming back to this G. Love it. Before this I was in an Oldsmobile Alero. gasp. Finally I have a car that can handle my driving. I'm in heaven.

Repeat Infiniti Owner
Love this car! I owned the first G35 coupe back in 2003 and traded it in 2006 for Lexus IS and missed the G every day until I bought my 2009 G37 Journey coupe the other day. Feels great to drive a real high performance car again.
Happy Customer
Overall, an excellent choice! This car is FAST! And it has all the features you would ever want. I got the Premium and Navi which are a must have for a lux car. Way better than BMW 3 series and more stylish than the TL. Old G series was boring, but I love the new design, 7 speed AT, and 328 HP! Interior is great and comfortable (BMW interior is boring -- leatherette for a lux car? Are you kidding me?) TL is bigger but not as fast and not as pretty on the outside. I thought about getting a Maxima, but heck, it's almost the same price, so why not get the G37? With the confidence of Inifinti reliability, I am one happy camper.
I love this car!
I just got this car a few weeks ago but I just can't get enough of it. It's really fun to drive. I have nothing against the BMW's but I personally felt that this Infiniti responded better than the 3 series. I honestly have no complaints at all. I heard someone say that the display was hard to see but I don't get that at all. I think the cabin is well designed.
G37 and the iPod
The iPod does indeed recharge while driving the car. Or else I've been able to drive over 8,000 miles on a single charge since last February. And, yes, this is one fabulous car. My mpg has been over 23 for summer driving, part highway and part local.
This thing is serious fun.
I was shopping around for a new car and did extensive research on sedans in the same class. Lexus IS, Audi A4, Acura TL, Benz C Class, etc. After test driving the Infiniti, I was sold. This car has got the most powerful standard engine in its class and it makes it such an amazing machine to drive. 0-60 in a little over 5 seconds. Gotta love it! At the same time, the brakes make stopping feel effortless so that you're confident driving such a strong car. Lastly, the interior is beautiful and classy. I have no regrets in buying this car and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent four-door sports car.
On Cloud 9! LOVE THIS CAR!!!
Like other posters, I researched/test drove so many vehicles before finally taking the plunge on the G. None could compare to Infiniti's styling, comfort, power, technology, and VALUE! I had to have the premium package and navi. The navigation system in this car is awesome---one of the best on the market. The toys on the inside--- bluetooth, ipod connector, back up camera really appeal to my techie side. The jump from 0-60 will make your heart flutter. The interior leather is supple and the car is simply striking on the road. Be prepared---people will stare! I just cannot say enough about this car. Infiniti---keep doing what you're doing. Customer for life!
Best car in its class
I was in the market for a sport sedan for 6 month. I compared the A4, IS350,335XI. For my preference none of these cars compared to the G overall package. Is rough edgy but with class, great all wheel drive system. I love it.
G37S Journey coupe
The handling and performance is superb, acceleration is great under any circumstance. The technology loaded in this vehicle really makes the difference with comparable 335 or A5, a fully loaded G37 coupe would cost around 8-10K less than any other European brand.
G 37x Coupe A Perfect 10
I bought a BMW 328XI coupe a few months ago in error and now made the change to the G37X. Though the mistake cost me, it was well worth it. The difference between the two cars and the value you get with the G37 made the change something that I had to do. Though the 328XI is a fine car, it does not have the road manners of the G37X. I have always wanted the G37X and I waited for the AWD to become available in the coupe. This car is a monster on the road, the ride is perfectly smooth, the quality of the ride is perfect and the performance is impeccable. Infiniti is number one with me.
What a tremendous vehicle!
Moonlight White G37S with Premium/Navigation/Sport/Technology/4- wheel Active Steering packages Just brought this home. I had been shopping around since February. Looked at the BMW 335, Audi A4, Mercedes C300, Lexus IS350/ES350, Volkswagen Passat and CC. After all was said and done, the bang for the buck was clearly with the 09 G37. The most impressive part of the car's performance isn't necessarily the 0-60 time (although it is nice). I find that its ability to get up and go when already at highway speeds to get around slower traffic and put safe distance between you and others has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
I'm Picky & I'm Impressed
Turned in my FX45 on this new G37xS. It is stunning. The driving experience is pretty incredible. The comfort is quite good, the features are very complete, the size and packaging are good, and the electronics are excellent. As you would expect, the performance envelope is outstanding. Excellent power throughout the rev range. Brakes are strong and easy to modulate. Handling is responsive and sporting without being at all punishing. After 2 months and about 4000 miles I love this car. My G is fully optioned and very comfortable. Not a single item on the punchlist for the dealer. Everything works as it should and fits properly. My MPG to date is about 19, but my foot is heavy.
Great driving experience
I am the proud owner of this 2009 G37 and so far I love it. I try to find excuses to go somewhere just so I can drive it. This car is FAST. I have to be careful so I don't get a ticket. I usually keep it in "D" mode to tame the horses and for better fuel economy. I average about 22mpg in city driving. The navigation and premium packages were well worth the upgrade. This car is just a dream to drive.
Compare to others & you'll want this G!
Just had a 07 G35 and "upgraded" to the 09 G37 & couldn't be happier. The 09 has a bit more acceleration, better hwy MPG and the deals they're offering it's the best bang for the buck in performance sedans right now. The 7 spd Auto in the 09 (compared to the 5 spd in the 07-08) really helps w/ fuel economy. I've already noticed a 2mpg increase on the hwy and the motor isn't really broken in yet. The 7 spd tends to hunt a bit more for gears in speeds under 30 mph but I know there's a Tech service bulletin to have a trans reflash to smooth the shifts, so that'll be taken care of.
What a car
Just got this car yesterday for 4k under invoice price, what a steal! It's a nice car and well balanced with sport and luxury. Dream car and only 20 dollars more for insurance from accord coupe to G37. Buy it and you won't regret!! I love it and I would just sit in there for like hours and smile like stupid.
Good but not the Best
My first time I have Inifiniti G37 Coupe, it was fun to drive... a good horse power, but it's for sure not a gas friendly car, I have seen avg 14Mpg to max 20 Mpg, and the sport model type have a noisy tires until you get used to it. Small seats, it's made for big people. It has a good features. I'm enjoying it but I won't buy it again if I was asked to buy it.
What a great car!
Just got my G37 w/Premium, Nav packages and love it! Fun to drive, looks great, fit and finish are outstanding. Couldn't ask for a better value. I am looking forward to many years of driving fun with this great car.
No better car for the money
I was looking for a daily driver that would be "fun to drive" and comfortable on my daily 60 mile commute. I found it. Under $50 there is no better car... the TCS and AWD make for a great combo. The ride is stiff but comfortable. The interior is warm and inviting but has a "fighter jet cockpit". I hate Bose (Clarion) technology, however this OEM system is not bad.
My second sport model G
Just took delivery today of an '09 white G37S to replace my 07 G35s. These are the first automatics I've ever owned, and I was so impressed I skipped the 6MT option. I had the Tech/Nav/Sport options on the 07, and insisted on them for the new car, which made it very difficult to locate, but the adaptive lighting and dynamic cruise are so helpful I could not imagine having a car without them. I test-drove Audi, BMW, Acuras and even used Boxsters to try finding anything better than the old G, but was unable to fall in love with anything else. The white is much better looking than the old Lakeshore slate G35S, plus the improved performance - what is not to like?
They continue to impress and amaze me
I've driven Infiniti's since 1993. 16 years of nothing but good things to say. The G37X is as good as it gets. Splurge for the Navigation - the other goodies that come with it make it a bargain. If the economy was better, these would be selling like hotcakes - there would be a waiting list. Check out the reviews, Car and Driver, Consumer Reports, etc. It is a no brainer and nothing touches it bang for the buck - the perfect car if you want performance and technology with a side of practicality.
My 1st G
This car overall is a great car for its class and price. It's fun to drive. great acceleration, Braking is very good, can be touchy at first but one gets used to it. I had the car for 9 months and put on 30,000 miles my gas mileage averages at 23 mph combo city/highway and I have gotten 26 mph straight highway. I have gotten as low as 10 mph, but then again this is a 330 hp car with AWD and that's what happens when you go full throttle of the line. Gas mileage for this car considering the weight, power, and the AWD, is very good and as expected. If buying this car for fuel economy then you are looking at the wrong car. If you're looking for some driving fun, then this is the car.
G37 Coupe with Premium, Sport, Nav, Tech
I test drove 11 different vehicles from 9 different manufactures, finally selecting the G37 for its overall combination of price, performance, looks, and overall sexiness. Reaction to the car is a mixed bag from men. However every woman who has come into contact with mine has loved it, some enough to walk up to me in the store and rave about it. When you decide to get on it hard, the rear end breaks free a little sooner then you would expect, but in a very controllable and forgiving manner. This makes it very easy to drive fast, pushing it until the back end starts to drift out and hold the line. From someone who normally despises automatics, the seven- speed in the G37 is phenomenal.
Having some fun!
Have been driving my G37S for 2 months - still putting a smile on my face! Acceleration with the manual transmission is a hoot, and sport suspension / handling is fabulous. Looked at the BMW 335, and besides the fact that there wasn't a single non- black manual transmission to be found ANYWHERE, and the fact that the same features would be $10k more, and the fact that it doesn't have that awesome Bose sound system, the G37 Sport 6 speed was still my favorite. Even fit the kids in the back, so it's practical, too (ok, I'm a roadster convert, so it's all relative). I LOVE this car!
G37 x sedan premium and nav package
This car is amazing. I test drove the mercedes benz c300, bmw 3 series, lexus is250 and of course infiniti g37. The g37 was by far my favorite. It's fast and luxurious. With the highest horsepower in its class this car was an easy choice considering all the standard features.
Great but needs some work
Love the car, having some small issues, wondering if I'm the only one. Had two experiences when I got to the car and it was dead....had great difficulty in jumping it, going back to dealer again this week...I think it's a key/chip recognition matter. But the car's a hoot to drive.
Better choice
I love this car. It has power, speed, good gas mileage and fun to drive. I think it is better value than Audi, BMW, Acura when you compare specs and price. My suggested improvement items may be already available depending on the option package. I have premium package and feel those should been added as standard item.
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.
Awesome
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.
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.
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.
The wife loves it
Replaced the spouses Audi TT with a G37 because so many friends recommended Infiniti. If it's as reliable as I hope I will be ecstatic. Wife is now thrilled with the car. I love the combination of sport performance with a touch of luxury.
Excellent Coupe
Super power comes with AWD. Interior design is excellent. Electronic gadgets are nice to have. This car has a strong engine with all the luxury comfort. It is an excellent coupe that combines both. It is not harsh on the road as BMW. The torque is not there as the 3.35i but still has plenty of power to make you smile.
Bye bye BMW
I've owned BMW 5 series for 17 years. This year I decided to downsize so I looked at a 335. Great car. Then I drove a G37. To be honest I would have preferred to buy the BMW, but it would have cost about $10,000 more than a comparably equipped G37. BMW nickle and dimes you to death on options, and there's no way it's $10,000 better than a G37. I perfectly satisfied with the G37, and $10,000 wealthier.
G37X If you commute and want a fun ride
If you commute more than 40-miles a day you will love this car. The all wheel drive is great in the winter and because 60% of the power is provided to the real wheels the car still handles very well like a performance car. The 7 speed transmission with the ability kick into sport mode is exhilarating. The 330-hp really performs with this well synchronized power train. The only down side is that I got a speeding ticket my first month because the car runs so smooth and has exceptional power that you need to watch the acceleration or get ready to shell out some green stamps to the police. The sound system and the instrumentation feel natural. Small middle armrest compartment is a drag.
A super smooth ride
I bought this car after having a Honda Accord for a year. What a difference. Aside from the styling, which is beautiful, this car IS power. And at 75 mph, the ride is as smooth as it is at 25. I love the car! Cup holders could be bigger - larger cups don't fit - especially alongside a breakfast sandwich. A minor concession.
Excellent sport car
This is a high quality, luxury sports car. The exhaust sound is great. There is plenty of power. The transmission is sometimes getting confused in the lower rpm. This car needs high pushing than it comes to life. Very sexy interior, and exterior. Lots of electronic gadgets. I have premium package with nav and bose sound system. Everything works perfect. Very good sound system and navigation is one of the best in its class.
Fun to drive, but needs improvements
Great sports sedan, powerful & responsive. AWD performed amicably during the latest snowstorm. All electronic features are very intuitive, and well designed. However, there are some drawbacks: 1) poor mileage when driven mostly in the city. I get 14 mpg on average. 2) small trunk with narrow opening 3) rear seats don't fold down. In overall, I'm happy with the car, but really miss my FX35.
All Around Awesome
I have had the car for about five months. I love it! For the money, you can't beat it. It is fun to drive (the performance is amazing). The creature comforts are great. It also looks stunning. If you look at other hard top convertibles, no other make comes close to making the hard top look like the coupe the way Infiniti does. All around awesome car.
It had to grow on me
I spend a lot of time in the car and after driving a Matrix it was quite an adjustment. It's not as nimble as the Matrix but excels on the highway which was what I needed. Road noise could be less over poor roads but good roads its very quiet. I'll try softer tires next and that may help. The car is really much more of a sports car than a sedan. Cabin is tight but once adjusted it seems normal. I like the simplicity of the interior. Everything else I looked at was very busy inside with buttons everywhere. I don't need a decoder manual to operate the climate controls. The ride is smooth and at 5 pm when I have four more hours of driving to go before I get home, its worth the money.
Love my G 37
This has been my favorite car ever! It drives and handles great! Very peppy so watch your speed. Small trunk space is the only reason I'm trading cars now. I need a little more space.

Want my '04 G35 Coupe back!
Replaced my '04 G35 coupe w/Sport suspension with '09 same pkgs. Just wanted updated electronics. What I loved best about the '04: tight steering, throaty feel and great brakes. Infiniti ruined all three. The steering is loose, the 7 spd transmission spends all its time at high rpm's shifting all over the place - like an old 4 cylinder piece of junk and the brakes grind. After 2 weeks and 900 miles, I guess I only have a few more years to hate it. Maybe I can still buy back my '04.
Fuel Consumption Terrible
I have had the car for 1 Week. Fuel consumption is not good at all. I am looking at around 12 miles to the Gallon, have driven 120 miles and used 10 Gallons, this includes a majority of hwy 90 % and 10 % city, my Chevy Tahoe gave me 400+ to a full 20 gallon Gas Tank. I was told that it would give me 17 city and 24 Hwy. It is such an expensive car and I will definitely not buy an infinity again. Very displeased. The car is definitely not worth the money, not much to celebrate for the price payed
G37xS Missing Buttons
I had been looking for cars for quite a while and was really looking forward to the new A4 after test driving almost everything. This new G37 may not look like it but it is a great evolution of the G35 Last spring I rented a G35 while on vacation but felt that my B5 S4 was superior after the rental. The gas pedal was very touchy and the transmission had a mind of it's own. This G37xS feels so solid that it's hard to believe it's based on the same car that I drove 8 months ago. Anyone considering a BMW should take a G37 for a test drive and try to deny the primal thrill that this V6 delivers at redline. You should buy this car because it sounds so much better than it's competition.
Best in class
I cross-shopped the 328i (xDrive), TL-SHAWD, A4 2.0, and IS-250AWD. None of them came close to offering the same blend of performance, handling, features, technology, and usability as the G37xS. The engine is extremely powerful (pulling away with four passengers up a hill is still easy to elicit a "Whoa" from everyone on board), the chassis handling BMW-like (read: near-perfect), the technologies (voice control, music box, swiveling headlights, laser cruise, traffic gps, etc. etc.) both cool and easy-to-use, the seats bolster you in like some high-luxe sport cars, and the overall experience is extremely satisfying and fun.
