idk according to the new mpg scale the supra turbo gets 15/22, IS300 (auto or manual)gets 16/23, 5at g35 gets 16/23 and 6mt gets 17/24, gs430 is supposed to be 16/21

my bro never did very well in his 92 sc300 5 speed, but it also had near 200k on it...got like 14-17mpg from what i recall

My LS gets 20+ in the city no problem and that's being pretty heavy on it and easily 25+ on the highway) but it hasn't seen much highway yet.

Oh I misread your post about the Is250 and 350.

Yea it shouldn't get that mileage at all. It also has 265km on it and runs like new!

yeah lexus's tend to do that

then again I see a lot of very high mileage maximas so G35s should be able to rack up some high mileage as well, as long as you keep the oil topped off..lol

Adding to my list:

Prone to rattling
Interior trim pieces are crappy and dull (on the ENTIRE car for '03 and pre-updated '04 has ONE piece of aluminum, and the rest is just black or painted 'aluminum look')
Door actuators failing
The design of the car kinda gets old (maybe I need aesthetic mods)
