I just cant see why its SO overhyped.

I liked the car, but didnt prefer it over a G sedan.
Yeah, they aren't terrible. They have the right idea for the most part. I just think that BMW isn't the epitome of luxury cars like a lot of people out there seem to think.

Lexus > Benz > BMW

what? I thought the name of the thread was "What do you hate about your G35"? I didnt buy this expecting a lux car, I bought the car due to the sexyness of it, performance and looks. I love the car, but those just touch on the things that I did not like, altough I dont mind it. Though most of the points dont point out I want lux... I went to a closed track a few weeks ago in florida, and I got a flat. I tried to use the stock jack, but I swear when I lifted the car I could literally see the jack start to twist and bend. I lowered it and used my friends jack from his porsche. So what if the G is a performance/ entry level car, they should include safer jacks. Its the same with most nissans I think, my friend has a maxima that his jack failed on him.
The problem with the ac control is when I go to the track, I want to turn the a/c off but keep the fan on. Every time I press the button the a.c goes on. I brought it to the dealer and the technicians cant figure the problem out. It may just be my g35 though.
Anyways I dont know why you laugh, I was just anwsering to the OP. Also if I wanted a pure sports car I would have went with the 350z and save myself a couple thousand bucks. The g35 offered more luxury while keeping it a performance car. I wouldnt call is a "sports car" I would more likely call it a entry level luxury performance car.
Anyways... I enjoy the ride more then I did with my old 3-series bimmer, the interior is far better i.m.o. and the performance is a big +.

My comment wasn't so much directed solely at you as it is more in general to the members on the forum who are shocked to find out that their Infiniti isn't super cozy and super quiet. And I'd agree that entry level luxury performance is a more accurate description.

Also, you're right that most of us are here because we wanted more luxury than a traditional sports car (350Z) would offer while still retaining respectable performance.

Luckily I haven't had any experience with the jack - if I ever have the need to use it, I'll now know to use extra caution.

1. Keyless remote sounds the horn rather than the quiter chirp of a Lexus or Acura.

2. Door dings

3. Scraped up back bumper

4. Dealer charged me an arm and a leg for 30K mile maintenance so I can't afford to fix 2. and 3. now!

Alot of wind noise in the G35 coupe due to the window not sealing all the way in one corner.

Also it doesn't have LSx engine in it

Make it so that it is silent when you lock the doors, that is what I did.

Driver seat squeaking and the SOFT, chip prone paint. Fuel economy could be better in the city.

But I still love my G

I hate the fact that i have to check the oil level every two weeks on my ride because it's supposed to be "NORMAL" that i go through a quart of oil every 2 to 3 k miles.

So i should start looking after 2/3k miles? I looked after 1k miles and the dipstick is still full, actually they had filled it a little more, but its still where it was from the dealer?

Can you see tell a quart missing on the dipstick?
