The windows have the auto close features because typically coupe windows are easy to break into for thieves. See a honda civics coupe windows if you are interred in making the connection.
As for the Bose, it is hit or miss really :/. Suspension is a blessing, don't hate it!

The same ol' story; stereo, rattly windows (if thery're not loose now, they will be), and electric seat adjust. Common theme in most threads. BUT it's a great car. Suspension? It's great. All sped humps on road and shopping malls are fully paid for by your local suspension mechanic....

I'm bored at work and was reading through this thread. Definitely love this car and I know we are nit-picking here, but I added a few more small complaints after owning the car a few months now:
1. Hood prop rod should be a hydraulic prop. My other car which is a 03 Camry (daily driver thats not a luxury car) has it--why can't a luxury car???
2. Headlight bulbs are hard to replace!
3. There are a ton of G35's in my area. In my neighborhood alone, there are 4 in my block!
There's probably more complaints, but I don't notice the rest of the complaints since this is my first luxury car I've owned. I've previously owned mostly Honda's and Toyota's which are a lot less luxurious and less powerful.
Some of the issues I don't have that most people seem to have: my car doesn't rattle, I don't have the seatbelt choking issue (I'm 5'10"), I don't care about the dipstick issue since I get mine changed at the dealer ($60). I don't do it myself because the bottom cover is annoying to remove and re-install. I do the oil change on my other car though.
I think the power and torque is great. If you think about it, the M3 in the same year has 330hp, so not much more than our G's. MPG's, well its a 3.5L V6, not a 1.8L Toyota or Honda that gets 30mpg. Just FYI my 2.4L Camry gets 21 mpg; when I drive my G35 conservatively i get about the same.
If you wanted more power/torque, you could've bought a V8 Mustang or Corvette. But then you'd have a crappier American car. 300HP for the G is fine for me, but then again, I own a 10sec Sportbike when I need to go faster so I'm spoiled there. I've driven my friend's 2013 Mustang GT 5.0 that has 400hp and it doesn't feel that much faster than the G.
Oil pressure gauge is minor and not needed IMO.
Card holder is for ID's, insurance cards, and registration paper.
Seat control is fine. My power seat control on my Toyota is on the left side. I think the current placement is ok, no big deal. If you have the 6MT, your right hand would be resting somewhere in this area anyway as you normally steer with your left hand.
I've never noticed the noise on my factory 19" Rays. Could just be me (since my tires are new).
Touch screen Nav, well, it is an older system. I don't think any 05/06 Nav screen had touch screen back then.
REV doesn't bother me at all. This is a personal preference of course.

1. No oil pressure gauge ? A "sports" coupe for $40K should at least have an oil pressure gauge IMO.
2. The card holder above the drivers door window ??? What is this for ?
3. Seat controls on the bolster.
4. Tire's on OEM 19's are to loud.
5. No touchscreen on the NAV![Frown](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
6. Get rid of Rev light always on ........

I actually drove my buddy's brand new 06 G35 6MT coupe back in 2006 when he bought his (this is when I fell in love with the car). At that time, I thought the pop-up screen was the coolest thing in the world. I didn't care then for touch screen Nav.
Now 8 years later, of course most Nav systems have touch screen. Still doesn't bother me, and you can't expect it with a car that's 8-9yrs old.
Edit: About the rattles... I have 117k on my G coupe and it doesn't rattle. Am I special?

I don't dislike BMW because of this forum, just putting that out there; nor because I own a G35.
I just honestly think BMW are way over-hyped. A lot of people think BMW is the epitomy of luxury and status, etc. I just don't see it based on actually being in these cars and driving some of them.

I've driven and ridden in newer 650's, 530's, and 330's, but they are overpriced for not much more value. I think you are just paying for the name, and because its European. Everyone thinks BMW's are so nice, but in reality Infiniti's are just as nice.
The BMW 330/M3 was my other choice before buying my G coupe, and I still went with the Infiniti
