I suggested she look for a very low mileage RX330 here or in the US.

 

She is.

 

Sounds like the EX is right up her alley Sam. I haven't seen one in person yet, but they are very nice in pics. Another choice might be the RDX, I am sure it would be have better fuel economy than the EX if that is a concern.

 

Thanks Shane, I looked it up and it just might do. I sent her the Edmunds page on it.

 

holy hell... what happened to the styling of that car?!!! that thing is fugly.

 

Were those warranty issues, or am I missing out on loaners for oil changes?

I love how the EX looks. It looks either like a G wagon, or a G hatchback. The thing sits too low (good) to look like a SUV.

 

Hi guys, I got this from my buddy's wife. She is concerned that the stealership she would take the car to for service would not give her a loaner. Any thoughts. Would this be true? Any suggestions for service in the Yonge HWY 7 area? If it was me I'd take it to Simone Performance and be done with it.
I've suggested she buy it at Guelph Infiniti cuz they have treated most people I've spoken to, including myself, fairly.

Hi Sam,
I am ready to buy.
One thing though, on thinking about where to buy this car, if I buy
it near where I live in North York, they will give me a loner, or even pick up the car, I think for service, I remember Lexus said that, I think Infinity
did too. My point is, perhaps over a few dollars, I would rather buy near me.
Bye for now.

It's been a while but IIRC;

As long as it's a booked appointment with loner requested, there should be no issue at all.

 

How does the gas compare to the G37 sedan????

I'm looking to get a Ex for myself, got in a accident recently and now i want a safe car, nothing big or nothing to small, EX fits the description.

I drive 110 KM daily back and forth, what do you guys think, is it worth it if it juices???

Also is it a safe car compared to the G or Murano for example.

 

hugo, I suspect the EX is every bit as thirsty as the G35/G37 sedan, since it's essentially the same car. 110 km/day will cost you a tank of gas a week, which will hurt when prices go back up.

Sam, what did your friend decide to buy?

 

^ I agree....
Depending on gearing an weight, it may be even be more thirsty.

re safety....
Just because it's a small SUV 'box on wheels', it's not necessarily any safer than a car.
It's more about how they're put together.
If safety is a primary concern, there are resources for checking the safety rating of a vehicle.


Personally I consider the G a very safe vehicle.
With the accidents that get posted up here, they seem to stand up very well structurally.



:edit:
fuel economy from Infiniti; EX is more thirsty
G37X 7.8 hwy, 11.8 city
EX 8.5 hwy, 12.9 city

 

^or possibly slightly more thirsty with less aerodynamics and AWD weight.

Researching the cars for crash test results and air bag comparisons may help answer some questions on safety. To me safety is a hard one to define since it may mean different things to different people. You start to consider braking, handling, AWD, tires, power, design, and safety equipment amongst many all of which have different priorities to different people.


EDIT:Quick draw beat me to it.

oops, pic was a no show

 

^comment??

 

She went with the EX and is enjoying it Wayne. I have no idea what he mileage is. Next time I talk to her I'll ask.
