Best value for your money!
I purchased my used 2009 G37x sedan in July of 2015. At the time of purchase it had 146,000 miles. I was skeptical of the mileage but after a friend of mine had a good experience with a 2003 G35 that reached 182,000 miles and only sold it because he needed an SUV, I decided to purchase it. After all it was a great deal. The dealer I work at took the car in as a trade in and was asking $11,600 for it. Since I work there I got a deal for $10,000! This the best purchase I have ever made! The car is in great condition with nothing damaged or worn. The VQ37VHR is a very powerful motor. In fact it is the same engine from the Nissan 370z. Along with the AWD this sedan hooks up even in the rain with the traction control off. This is a very quick car not to mention a good looking one. I have had no problems with the car at all. The Bose sound system is great and has a nice balance in sound quality. The Bluetooth works flawlessly every time. I am six feet tall and the seating position is great. Trust me, I am a very picky person and I am not afraid to speak the truth. This car is exceptional. Anyone in the market for a luxury sedan needs to consider this car. It is one of the best values on the market today.

G37XS
I must have looked at 20-30 different cars makes and models (Lexus, BMW, Acura) and after 4 months of looking and test drving (and reading all the user review), this was by far the best choice ever made. I wanted the best 4-dr sports car and didn't want to pay the BWM price tag for the same performance and repairs are insane for you BMW owners. It is tight, extremely smooth, it's my little red ferrari. So glad I got the "S" model. The 18" wheels and paddle shifters are awesome.

So great I bought another
If I could count all the hours I have spent reading car magazines, online car reviews, shopping for cars, etc., I'm pretty sure it would represent a good year of my life. These countless hours led me to the 2009 Infiniti G37, which I bought new in 2009 for $30k (list price of around $35k). I put 155,000 miles on it, with zero problems except for changing the brakes twice, the battery once, and power locks that sometimes didn't want to cooperate. Never got the locks fixed because it wasn't a big deal. I put new tires on twice, and I highly recommend the Michelin Primacy - great in the rain, and last for 60k miles. I spent a lot of time looking at various replacement options, but none had the combination of power, handling, interior space, quality, and reliability. So I traded it in last month on a 2013 G37. Just yesterday I had a $40,0000 BMW as a rental, and I was very happy to get back into my car. The used G37 is without question the best value out there. I feel bad for all the people paying high 20's or low 30's for a generic car with half the power and quadruple the problems when they could have a year-or-two-old G37 for less money.

A special car I never thought I would own.
A friend who owns a used car dealership found my 09 G37x S with the 7 speed auto and paddle shifters at a regional auction. Barely 30,000 miles and a one-owner history! Black on black, 4dr. Nav system, Bose stereo, 18" wheels, All the goodies!. I never thought I would be able to afford this. The price was right and I did the mechanical work, four Michelin MXM4 tires and some detail touch ups. The car is perfect. I am out the door and on the road for $28K. Unbelievable! At my age this is the perfect car. A great combination of performance and luxury. It also is incredibly good looking.
Former cts owner
Coming from a cts sedan to a g37x sedan. Obviously I'm interested in vehicles that are sporty yet luxurious. After being disappointed with the cts in its unreliability, high repair costs and poor winter driving performance, I did as much research as possible before making my next vehicle purchase. Which led me to three options, the bmw 328i x drive, audi a4 and the infiniti g37x. I'm a speed and drive enthusiast, so of course i was leaning towards the bmw. After doing further research and test drives, i was easily able to make a decision. Went with the g37x for its power, luxurious feeling interior and low maintenance cost. The bmw had the smoothest feeling engine and most responsive steering. The audi had the most comfortable drive. But the one that felt just right is the g37. It's the fastest of the three while still feeling well balanced. It's never been in the shop once yet. Completely satisfied with this vehicle. I think my next car will also be an infiniti.

Great well-made car!
This is a great, well-made car. Have had no repairs in 6.5 years, only scheduled maintenance. Only problem is no space for a spare tire so if you have a flat you're out of luck!

Hottest coupe for the money.
I just purchased this 2009 G37x coupe for my wife. She previously owned a 2008 G35x sedan, but had always wanted the coupe but they did not make it in an all wheel drive version. This car is quick, sporty, luxurious, handles like a dream and has all the toys you could want. It definitely stands out in a crowd with its looks and keeps you pampered on the inside. We ordered it fully loaded with the tech pkg, nav pkg, prem pkg, spoiler, wood trim, factory impact sensor alarm and the illuminated kick plates. I am 6'2" and have no problem driving or riding in this coupe.
Blown Away! Werewolf in Sheeps Clothes!
Had been looking for a very specific 2010 Audi A8L but after 8 months of searching could not find. Had to make a buying decision and wanted a four door, minimum 325 HP and stopped by a dealer a mile from my house and noticed the G37. The first thing I noticed were the subtle muscular lines and posture of the car. When the sales rep started it and the exhaust note perked up my ears. As I sat in the vehicle and did a quick lookup on the Vehicle specs noted that the car had 328 HP, just 22 less than the Audi, yet 1000 lbs lighter. I got familiar with the controls then took it and was shocked at the power pulling out of the lot. Bolted on to the interstate and immediately started realizing that the car was extremely fast, handled extremely well, and hamadryads me smile. Yes, no Quattro drive and not the size of vehicle I truly wanted but I had a cash budget and given the local market didn't turn up an Audi, I went back to the dealer and dumped the cash on his desk and bought the car. Fast forward 8 months and I have "thugged" virtually every car who has given me a nod. Mustang GTs, Challengers, Camaros, 535s to name a few. I am now a complete G37 enthusiast and the dual everhead cam V6 is simply badass (and though rated at 330 HP, some legit publications that have tested it state it is closer to 365 HP!!!' Absolutely love this car

Just what everyone said it was
I picked up a barely used 2009 G37X a couple of weeks ago after EXTENSIVE research and testing of (BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Lexus is250, Ford Fusion Sport, Mazda 6 V6) and luckily found this barely used G37X. Simply put - all the reviews are spot on - second only to the 3-series, but not a distant 2nd. Great car - I love the drive and interior. At night - headlights are amazingly bright.
SWEET G37
Bought it used from a local dealer after checking out a few private party vehicles. Did my research and got exactly what I expected, car looks great, handles well and can sit next to a Lexus, Mercedes, Audi and BMW and hold its own. The car is a head turner, exhaust gives it the sound that other mid level vehicles wish they had. My only issue with the car and it's my fault because I didn't check it... Make sure the light on the clock works if you are purchasing it used... As night fell I noticed the light was out, thought it would be a simple fix... its not... $335.00 to replace the clock. Update. Tach gauge light behind #6-8 went out and to replace it would cost $1,200.00. You have to have your whole console removed so it can be shipped to New York. It seems to be a common problem.

Great so far
Bought my 09 G37x coupe used with 31K mi, very sporty, engine is ferocious, the power doesn't drop off until you hit non-legal speeds. Doesn't have the razor sharp handling of my 06 G35 Coupe, but it's very close and has a smoother, more compliant ride that soaks up bumps very well. Interior with Bose, navigation, and rear view camera is great! I love this car!
Rated the best and is
Set out to buy either a new MB C330, BMW 328, or Lexus IS250. Did all the research, but the Infiniti was consistently rated highest and was the lowest price so I figured a test drive was warranted. I was sold on the first press of the accelerator. A terrific car - clearly out performed the others. Excellent in snow and slush - couldn't make it spin out in an empty parking lot. When priced out with similar options, just a tremendous value for the money compared to the other three. (Acura was too ugly). Got 21-22 mph until my speeding ticket, now gets 24-25 commuting.
Fun in the Sun
I purchased the G37 Convertible new in November, 2009, and now have ~14k miles on it. Unlike most hard top convertibles, it looks great top up and top down. The car is an absolute blast to drive when the weather is sunny and one can take the top down. With the top up, it is a mediocre performer due to the weight of the retractable top and structural reinforcements. Creature comforts are great - the ventilated seats, iPod Integration, Bluetooth and Bose Audio System - make the car very liveable on a daily basis. Due to the styling, there is limited storage space in the trunk and car. I highly recommend the air deflector for the car - it makes a big difference at highway speeds (70mph+)
Fun, Beautiful, But Premium Price with Poor Materials
We owned this car for three years and absolutely loved the exterior design. I think it's one of the most beautiful cars on the road. However, there were some major issues that start with cheap materials. The cheap plastics in the dash and door panels do not befit a car selling for 50 large. The leather seat material was far less opulent than my Hyundai Genesis, when the doors close you cannot reach the seat adjuster without scratching the aluminum trim on the doors. Build quality was poor. Rubber weatherstripping squeezing out from trim, rattles when top up ands zero trunk space with top down. This is a $30K car with the top chopped off and $23K added to the price. Period.
My 5th Infiniti , my second G
I had a 2003 G35 which I loved. I got a 2009 6 months ago when I changed jobs and needed a car to commute with. Engine and handling are great. I average 23 MPG in mostly hwy travel w plus gasoline, I usually drive around 85 mph on highway. Better MPG in warmer weather. The acceleration is excellent and braking is great too. I drive 55 miles 1 way and seats are comfortable, Im 6 feet 225 pounds. Quality is great as with all infinitis. The rear seats fit my 2 car seats as I have 2 small kids. The AWD is good so far but I thought the g 35 a little better. All in all a great car w great features and looks great too. trunk is nice but storage inside cabin is a little tight.

Great for empy nesters
If you need a big trunk, plan on having people in the back seat for longer than 1/2 an hour or don't like a sporty ride don't buy this car. For two people who like to throw a car around on country roads this is "the" car. It's a joy to drive hard, but very comfortable if you take it easy. My only problem is my wife keeps taking it.
Best High Performance vehicle Ever!
This is my first infiniti and I did lots of research, comparing it to Acura TL, Lexus IS, Lexus ES, BMW 3- series, and Mercedes C class. I went and test drove them all and the best overall is my new infiniti G37XS. It gives me power whenever I need it, excellent sporty ride, very luxurious feel inside, and handles very well on ice and snow. On top of all this, it is Japanese made, built to last.
Almost Perfect for the Price
Downsized from a GS350 and I must say, this is a 9/10ths Lexus. Great interior (really comfy seats)...has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a $40k car. I am really surprised by the great navi and music hard drive. Car corners very flat, especially for a sedan and the power is instantaneous. I have noticed an on again/off again rattle in the passenger door after only 3K miles. I have owned every luxury German and Japanese make there is and I must say Infiniti is becoming my favorite due to its blend of near BMW agility, near Lexus comfort, and near Mercedes luxury for typically a lot less than those makes. Good mileage so far too, 22mpg combined.
Having Fun!
This is my first Infiniti (loyal Lexus owner) and I am happy with my choice! I feel this is the best hard-top convertible for the money. It looks great with the top up or down. Considered and drove a BMW 335 Convertible and a Lexus IS 350 Convertible. Did not like the looks of the Lexus and the BMW was $8000 more WITHOUT a Nav system and other features on the Infiniti. PLUS the dealership was FRIENDLY and took GREAT care of me. Overall, I would highly recommend this to someone looking for the perfect blend of luxury, sportiness and value.
Wouldn't get any other car
I spent a long time doing research on my next car (4 years) each time I took a car that meet my requirements out on a test drive I was disappointed. I wanted something sporty that wasn't just a flat out race car. BMW got really close. But considering that I got my Infiniti for $45k, when a similarly equipped BMW would have cost $65K, I'm rather happy with how everything turned out.
Great Car
I leased a new 2010 G37 convertible when my Mercedes Benz CLK350 lease ran out. With the Infiniti, it's like night and day. The G37 is so much faster, handles better and even looks classier, inside and out, than the Mercedes. So far, both Infiniti and the dealer have been great. Responsive and proactive with notices and keeping in touch.
I've Never loved a car, untill now
I've had my convertible G37S for 2 yr. And its not quite a 4 sec. car from 0 to 60 anymore, but it will do it in 5.7 sec. It has everything i would need. Sat. radio, auto lights, auto washer and i love the proximity smart key. I feel spoiled. Its reliable as hell for an 11yr old car. Its only been wrecked once, (In a parking lot when i wasnt there) Gas could be a little better, but THATS why i didnt buy a Volkswagen.

Swiss-army sports car -
I wanted to get an ND Miata after renting one for 2 weeks on a business trip. We have 3 kids - so my wife wasn't exactly hot on the idea. The requirement was: a manual, convertible, 4-seater that handles well and is reliable. I narrowed it down between this and a 128i convertible 6mt. Glad the deal on the 128i didn't work out. I LOVE driving this car - the clutch is great, great balance and power, handling is actually as good or better than the ND Miata I drove (I think my suspension has been upgraded - it's on rails, but not too stiff). And sounds WAY better. The interior is very nice, and it fits 3 easily. this car os over 13 years old, and the stereo blows away the Miata - really amazing sound. The back seat is better than most give it credit for. I'm 5'9" and my daughter 5'6" can sit behind me comfortibly. I loved that miata, but this really is the swiss-army dad's car. Older than many nice sports cars now, but still holds its own. Only negative is the mpg. If I baby it, I get 26 on the highway and 18 in town. But it's impossible to not rev this engine at least a few times if I'm driving it more than 10 minutes - so much fun. Averaging 21 mpg now at 50/50 city highway. I could get better mpg, but I don't want to - just so much fun. Maintenance is super low - tires aren't that expensive for this model, but they are staggered. I got hifi bluetooth sorted with the aux rca input, and the in-cabin bluetooth call quality is excellent. No, it doesn't have a massive screen or the newest gadgets like lane assist, adaptice crusie, etc - but I got this baby to drive and it does it all - great on the twisties, great on the highway. Way quieter than the Miata on the highway that's for sure. I plan on driving this for a decade. If you can find a clean 6mt convertible G37 - get it while you can.

Nice car if you don't mind poor city mileage.
The car is fine. Reliability is very good. Performance is good--lots of power. Mileage for city driving is poor. I'm glad I bought it, and I think it would make a good used car.

Great Coupe!
For the money, and then some, the G37 was a hot coupe. It is now a little long in the tooth, but when it came out, and maybe even now, I am not sure what you can get for $40-45k that looks and performs as well in the segment.
Addendum: Loving my car!
Beautiful 2009 Infiniti G37 convertible, so much fun to drive with top down but had I known that it would require me to fork out over $6400 to have working airbags I would have passed on this car. Infiniti/Nissan knows that the SRS/OCS are not manufactured to function properly in some vehicles, that is why they have a recall on over 900,000 vehicles yet excluded the 2009 models including mine. The sensor in the passenger seat is defective on some 2009 G37s and works opposite to how it was intended, it cuts off airbags when a passenger sits on the seat. I now own a vehicle I do not feel safe in and would never put the lives of my friends and family in danger. I purchased used less than a year ago after surviving a mva where my 1999 vehicle's airbags helped save my life. How can I in good conscience sell it to anyone? This should be a recall from Nissan/Infiniti as they are aware of the seriousness of severe injury or death as a result of manufacturers defect but refuse to fix on 2009. Also has problem with melting dashboard. Get a different year Infiniti or pass to a car manufacturer that values human life. Just wish I had known.... Addendum: Modern Infiniti of Lake Norman talked to Infiniti USA who came through and replaced defective seat. I did pay to get car up to date on service first but did not have to pay for seat. Infiniti definitely cares about the safety of their customers! Totally changed my mind about owning an Infiniti!

Get the "S" version w/ manual tranny
This is my second G... first was a 2006 G35 "S" with the manual. Also got the manual on my 2009 G37. The manual transmission really makes this car. You have to special order, but it's worth the wait. Had a BMW 328 prior to going to Infiniti the first time and obviously decided to stick with Infiniti. Maintenance and dealer experiences have been great for the 5 years I've owned my cars. My only complaints are some minor chipping on the grill (2006 didn't do this),crappy cup holders in the manual version and Bluetooth that won't sync with Droid phones.
Great Car - Poor Transmission
Replaced my G35 with a 37, but I wish I had my 35 back. Pretty much the same car inside the cab, but obviously faster and with a terrible 7 speed transmission. The jerks at low speeds during shifts and jumps into higher gears is frustrating. Takes the fun out of driving an otherwise awesome car.

Turning Heads
Bought the car just over six months ago and continue to be extremely happy i didn't go with the BMW 335 conv. or the Lexus 3C. The car drives really well, wind feels great with the optional wind deflector, and the sound system is awesome. The Sat Nav is almost perfect and the cooled seats put my friends at awe. The only problem is the body rigidity (average), and the damn seat belts. Its enough of a pet peeve that the retractors don't fully retract the belts when I take them off. Next time Infiniti, make sure the seat belts don't get caught by the door when I get out.
Mistress
Ordered and waited 3 months for this car to come in (waited to get the optional spoiler). Almost backed out to order the 2010 model. Winter here now so did not get much driving in before I put car away in storage. However this is a great car: looks great and fun to drive. Can't wait for spring and top down driving. Looked at Lexus IS350c, but could not get excited. Somewhat concerned about reports of the seatbelt not retracking and getting slammed in door and breaking door/seat trim. Need to drive more miles to get fuller experience. Would give it all 10's (other than gas mileage), but there is always room to improve! Hope this helps.
What An Awesome Car
I absolutely love this vehicle! It is so much fun to drive and for the money is the most powerful coupe you can find at that price.
Love this car more than anything I have ever driven
Bought mine new in October 09 (with all packages) and absolutely love driving it. I bought the X thinking I'd drive it in the winter and I have the last couple with no issues whatsoever. I love it so much I'm buying a crossover SUV so I can keep it in the garage this winter. Braking is great, the ride is extremely comfortable and it looks amazing. I get comments on it everywhere I go. I would buy this car again and then some.
G37 convertible
Great car. Excellent acceleration, braking and handling. Sound system is awesome and looks are incredible.
Love it!
Great car, love the motor and tranny,rear wheel drive, wonderful performance for the money, black leather wears much better than the light gray, Infiniti needs to put an eight cylinder in the G to compete with the M3, AMG E63 and CTS-V!
Fantastic Sports coupe
Great car with terrific looks. Very dependable and can be serviced by Nissan dealers when the warranty is completed. Watch your speed in this coupe, very quick.

Best Car Ever
I shopped around for almost 3 months as I was in no hurry to buy and am I glad I waited. Other cars I considered were the Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Coupe manual transmission but they're rare and too costly. Also considered the MazdaSpeed 3 but eventually narrowed my search to the G37S and wanted a black one. I finally found a 2009 Black on Black and at an Infiniti dealership. It had 68500 miles on it and was just a gem. We had a great experience and were glad we bought from a dealership rather than from a private seller or used car lot. They pampered us and we left with big smiles on our faces. Although we bought the car "As Is" they resurfaced the 4 discs and installed new pads all around. I notified them when we got home after buying the car and they took care of us. They also did some engine work for free and we got loaners while she was in the shop. We would never have gotten that level of service from a private seller or used car lot. No regrets here. Car drives great and we just love it!

Pure Excitement
There is no comparison to a BMW 3 series, this is the car to beat. Plain and simple if you love driving (aggressively I might add) and love to see cars in your rear view mirror then get this car. The G37 X is all u need. Fun to drive. Power is incredible. The interior is classy not overbearing. The ride is smooth. This car will put a huge smile on your face when you drive and look at it. Enough said. Keep blowing away BMW. True drivers will appreciate and love this car.
Love my 09 37x Coupe!
I've owned my 2009 37x coupe for nine months now so I have a really good feel for what this car can do. The performance is outstanding and can compete with plenty of other sport coupes on the road in this price bracket. The transmission complaints are valid in some instances (downshifting in lower gears does jerk the car but I've only ever noticed it going down very steep grades.) The design speaks for itself and I get a lot of compliments from friends, family and random strangers about the look of it. Techies will not be disappointed with the electronics in the G as there is plenty to go around. The bluetooth functionality is excellent. I think it's roomy and I'm 6'2".
Best Bang for Buck Sport Sedan
The more I drive my G37S Sedan, the more I love it. In my opinion, it blows the Mercedes C-Class away, destroys the Audi A4, and is $10,000 less than the BMW 335i comparably equipped. That said, it is a great combination of utility and performance. The G37 is fast in a straight line and also a great handling car. Impressively, it feels much lighter than it actually is. While the G37 is very capable of good gas mileage, it is incredibly difficult to fight the temptation to hammer the throttle. Hence, gas mileage can be an issue if you have a lead foot. In short, bravo Infiniti. You have created a great mix of performance and luxury for a reasonable cost.
Infiniti Hush Money?
Right after I purchased a 2009 G37 Convertible, I noticed that there was persistent creaking coming from both sides of the rear portion of the hardtop. That night, I put the top down and up, and noticed that the trunk was opened afterward, so I closed it manually. The next morning, I approached my car in the garage to find the trunk opened again. 2 days later, the engine refused to go past 10 mph and the Engine Light was on so I was forced to bring it into the dealership. It's since been over 30 days and Infiniti has tried to solve the problem twice to no avail. I still don't have my car. Most of all, I'm wondering where the other bad reviews are? Can anyone say Infiniti Hush Money?
Nice cruiser but terrible transmission
I traded an '06 Passat for my G three months ago. So far really like the car except for a couple of complaints. The transmission jolts the car when shifting gears most of the time and the quick shift is useless. Hesitates when changing gears and then it's like it can't decide which gear to settle into when downshifting. Very annoying and disappointing. Also, cruise control revs the engine suddenly when using the accelerate feature. Personally don't care about the poor gas mileage. It's not that bad and I wasn't expecting too much with this much power.
G37X 2009
Bought my first Infiniti in 2016. It's 2022 and Im still driving it. Im on the road all day long and it's been nothing but spectacular. 330,000 K's at present. Regular oil and maintenance is the key. Ive had problems with the throttle bodies among other problems but its worth the fix. Michelin Premiers have worked great in the snow with the AWD. Currently considering an upgrade because technology has left me behind somewhat. Looking at another G37X (like it better than Q50), an Acura TLX or Lexus IS350. ** Here we are in 2023, Test drove 4 TLX's and 2 Lexus IS300's. After all those tests I drove another Q50S and bought it!!. Wanted to buy the TLX but didn't compare in comfort and especially handling **

Favorite car ever!
I bought this car off a lot as a stolen recovery with 52k miles and a salvage title, so I got it for a GREAT price. Never wrecked, nothing whatsoever wrong with it but for a door seal I had to replace. I love this car, more power than you'll ever need, to the point of breaking the rear tires loose at 75mph on damp pavement when I stepped on it hard to change lanes and the VVT kicked in, YIKES! You can pass anything at any time, and still get 26-28mpg hwy and 22 around town. Handling is precise and crisp without being twitchy, and it handles curves on rails, very nice seat bolsters help too. It rides great, firm, but not uncomfortable at all to my taste. It's helped by smooth TN roads, up in the pothole, frost freeze northern states I may have another opinion. Seats and interior are very comfortable for the long haul, with all the usual luxury. Interior is also very quiet, which I love, not much road noise at all. Now for a couple minor niggles, the cruise control is not all that accurate going up and down hills, picks up speed going down, then takes 3-5mph drop below set speed to kick back in. Also the transmission has a pretty big lag between off throttle to back on engagement. It will scare you the first time you time you slow down and jump back on it to turn in front of someone and it doesn't go! I've gotten used to it and know how avoid it, so it's no big deal to me now. The only other small thing missing is a headphone jack interface to play Pandora off my phone. Bluetooth is only available on the navigation model, and there is a usb connection in the console which works with my IPOD, but I've never been able to figure out how to play Pandora through it. There's also a hard drive you can copy your CD's onto, so there's really no shortage of music options. Overall, I've owned a lot of cars in my many years, but this one really suits my style, aggressive when you want to be, comfortable when you don't, but always ready to rip, and just a joy to drive anytime!

Move over 3 Series!
I was in the market for an entry level luxury sport sedan for 6 months. All I kept hearing was how great the BMW 3 series was. So I test drove it. While a great performer, the interior felt "boring", and the run flat tires were very loud. So I waited a few more months for the G37 to come out. I'm very glad I waited. Infiniti was always trying to catch up to the 3 series in terms of performance and styling, and it seems that they finally caught up. To me, it out performs the BMW, with a much more luxurious interior. Plus it's got more ponies (330 vs 300). Let's not even mention the $10k I saved by going with the G.

Fun Car
I was looking for a fun car in addition to my FX35. I test drove Audi TT, BMW 335ix and the 370Z. The G37x gives me best value and comfort and I can always count on the Infiniti quality. I based my final decision on a combination of these factors - performance, comfort/toys, fun to drive, value and reliability.
One of the best cars I have driven!
I looked for quite a while before I ordered my G37xS. I was a big 3 letter fan (BMW) but after I drove the 2008 G35, I was sold. I began to read about the improvements that were coming for 2009 and ordered one as early as I could. The AWD Sport is fantastic. I love the paddle shifters. The car handles very well and it accelerates so smoothly that you barely feel the shifts. The fit and finish are great. I am a big guy and I fit quite comfortably. Everyone talks about the value and I agree, this car is better than every car priced below $65K. The more other cars I drove, the more it made my decision clearer. I have 3,000 miles on it and loved driving every one of them. Fantastic vehicle!
In Love!
I was looking to buy the new Lexus IS250c and then test drove the Infiniti G37 convertible and was sold on it! I bought the car the next day! I love my first Infiniti and first convertible. It has enough power to get me in trouble and is sexy on the inside and out! The interior is beautiful and I love the heated/cooled seats!
A great alternative in the rough economy
I wanted something fast, two doors, manual transmission and AWD, and arrived at the Infiniti after eliminating all the competition. Felt like I got 80% of what I wanted, and getting that other 20% would have cost more than double. Even though the Infiniti was the least expensive thing on my list, I'm happy with it and have no regrets.
Worth the wait!
Spent 17 months meticulously reading reviews and test driving every car in the entry level luxury class, plus many other categories, before selecting the G37X coupe. Although I bought the car this May, I test drove it during a Michigan snow storm, and have a strong impression of its road grip-handling during both good and very poor road conditions. This car is superb by all measures. It's exterior lines are eye catching and interior refinements are topnotch. Fuel economy is better than I had anticipated, as I'm averaging 21 MPG of mostly city driving. Not too shabby! This car is awesome.
