Honest opinions on Genesis>G35

And what's wrong with buying used tires. Don't forget that people are buying these vehicles for $12k right now. In addition to that if people are dumb enough to throw away perfectly usable tires I don't see a problem with using them.

That "bitter *****" comment made me lol :P
I mean a nice car is a nice car to me. I try to look pass the branding thing, that most people ONLY look at which is complete ignorance.

I am not heated. This whole forum has greatly gone downhill because of retards who think their 8 year old 12,000 dollar nissan is the end all of cars. I have owned 14 different cars now from almost every manufacture. I caught so much grief of the LS1 forums when I sold my Procharged Firebird Formula for a 3000GT VR4 and it was almost as bad when I sold my VR4 for a Jeep Wrangler.
I have no loyalty of any brand, I buy what I want or believe is best. It is hard for people to admit thier Infiniti luxury car has been outclassed by a Hyaundi for half the MSRP. Just like when Porsche threw a hissy fit when the GTR beat their lap record.

you can usually tell a good quality car by looking to see how much attention to detail was put into it. like for example the interior is very quiet, no sqeaks or rattles, even on the coldest day and after 100k miles my car is silent on the inside. that says something about the detail put into is. on really cold days, every other car ive had made so many annoying noises. ive never had a genesis, but ive sat in one. the interior looked very cheap to me and i wasnt impressed. i had an open mind to it too, halfway expecting to really like it, but i didnt. i didnt look past the interior cause i didnt want to waste my time. but, if i had, im pretty confident i would have found other things that hinted to a lack of attention to detail. do they even have power seats? i was in another hyundai and it looked pretty nice, untill i looked for the pass side power seat lever, oh wait, it was manual. that says something about how hyundai is cutting some quality corners to keep the price down. the price for a new car is not the manufacture taking a stab in the dark. they keep the price as low as possible when compared to how much it took to make the car. so a cheaper car is naturally going to have some corners cut to keep the final price down. this is great, because not all people care about all the little detail things, so now they have something to buy.
im not trying to say my coupe is a top of the line car or that all hyundais are garbage, they have come a long way, just like nissan did when the name switched from datsun to nissan. i remember the poor image datsun had when i was younger. my dad even told me, never buy a datsun, still gives me crap about that and still calls it a datsun. but, nissan is high quality, the highest? not close, but better than hyundai, i think so.

Everyone stop hating on image.. infiniti is starting to get a bad rep from all of the people on their high horse.
i'll admit i am biased..the G is great bang for the buck..but so is the genesis. 10 yr/100k warranty on a car that costs a lot less than the competitors. if you don't care about badge than right now i feel that genesis>g37 due to the warranty/price. g37 is too high tech/heavy for me,

oh, we are comparing to a g37 now? id take a genesis over a g37 based on styling alone, but the quality of a g35 is going to be higher than the genesis. drive the genesis 100k miles for 5 years, then lets see how well its holding up

Here are the items I have personally encounted in my previous cars.
2004 G35 (62k miles)
- Hood hinges bent, causing rubbing and damage to my front fenders
- Head lights had moisture entry
- 6 disk cd changer failed
- Driver seat motor failed
- Passenger window motor failed
- Sunroof leaked during car wash
- Rear axle click
- Driver side door speaker failed
- License plate light tab broke, left light hanging
- Leather around shift **** started to peel away
- Leather near the reclining pull on driver seat ripped
- O2 sensor failed
2008 G37 (31k miles)
- Leather on driver seat bubbled (after 10k miles)
- Trim around gauge cluster started to peel at edges
- Plastic around steering wheel buttons straches with just finger nail
- 5th gear syncro failed
- Front rotors warped (after 8k miles)
- Front passenger caliper seal broke (after 20k miles)
- Door pulls looks like they were attacked by freddy kruger
- Stitched lettering on floor mats is worn through
I can almost guarantee I will not have half of the quality issues on my Sonata. If you ever want to talk about G35 quality do a quick search for oil consumption and see how many people here were denied and had to fight corporate.

Recently in road & track, the 370z was put up against a Carrera 4s.
How do you think porsche owners feel?

Honestly though it has a good overall shape, but the front just looks too big when you see it in person. As far as your infinitis go, whosurbudiee, those have got to be isolated incidents or maybe you just don't know how to take care of your car. I have an 04 and so far notta, the driver window still even works. And there some oil consumption but it has over 100k on it.
If you were a true automobile enthusiast you would not side with a sonata.
And as far as name recognition goes an infiniti is still a nissan to me although it has the capability to compete with other luxury brands it doesn't carry the same price tag. So I'm not siding with the G because of the name, I'm siding with it because it truly is a better car for the money. I classier than the genesis and it will be able to keep up with it on the track. And sonata... don't even think about it. If you think differently then bring your sorry a$$ family car over here and well see what happens

Why an all wheel drive vehicle against a rear.
Also much different cost.
Honestly I don't mind the genesis being compared to the G, because similar hp and the genesis is supposed to have a stiff and well balanced chassis. But when people start comparing a run of the mill sedan to a sports car, that just doesn't make sense.
