Love everything about my Sedan...but...it is hard to vacuum between the seats especially towards the center console. I always drop my change in there.

The seat mounts are tearing.

I had mine replaced way back under warranty, but you may want to take a peel at your seat frame one of these days. Might need to replace it or have a welding repair done.

I had that replaced too under warranty. Seat frame is now been wobble free for 4 years. I think they reworked the frame to have a beefier metal for people that had issues. Mine was almost like having a rocking chair as a driver's seat.

Yup, I did my under warranty around 40-50K miles. It's been 100K miles and wobble free, so looks like the newer replacement frame was designed better.

I don't hate anything, but therer are some things I dislike:

Rear seats do not fold down. The reclining rear seats are the coolest thing since sliced bread, but I really wish i could fold my rear seats down and put **** in my trunk. When i go moutain biking, I have to use my damn Mercedes that has 10K miles on it because I can fit a bike in it's trunk with the front wheel removed. Not my damn G35 which is a physically bigger car!

The center cluster controls are favored for RHD. All the main controls are opposite so when I adjust the volume, or the HVAC i feel like i need to lean left. Passenger has it easy.

The 2006 bluetooth handsfree cell microphone sucks *****. I gave up on using it a long time ago. Novelty feature really.

Non-touchscreen Nav. Yeah, i know i could get a DD and call it a day, but it sucks entering a destination by toggling over to letters and hitting enter. I now just prop my iphone up against the screen and use it instead. My benz has voice Nav, so i'm spoiled there.

Finding AWD specific parts is difficult. RWD parts everywhere for coupe and sedan, but if you need a front control arm for an AWD model, you are better off whittling it from metal stock vs finding a replacement other than heading to the dealership.

Tiny side view mirrors on the sedan. I think I've seen bigger mirrors on a Mini Cooper.

Hood hinges prone to rusting unless you lube them every 25 days or less.

And the usual complaints.


WHat do I like about my G35??

152,000 miles on it and drives like the day I bought it with 10K miles on it!

Just a small argument for the non touch screen nav: at least it has predictive text so you don't have to over-toggle. Haha
