i used to have a denali... now that's more do-able.

 

what's up fellas, I just got my G about a month ago and it's great. My only gripes are 16mpg( i guess thats to be expected), hard to keep a black car clean, 5AT shifts a little sluggish, why is the volume **** on the left hand side for the american market? However for all the bad things I can say about my ride, the virtues far out weigh its inperfections. It's such a beautifull car, when I first bought it I just sat there and stared at it for about an hour. It isn't the fastest car in the world but its fast enough. My car had rims and new tires put on it before I bought it and from what I've read on the forum I heard there is a bad tire feathering problem. I'll cross my fingers and hope that I'm one of the lucky owners that dont have that problem. Peace.

 

Why shouldn't the volume **** be on left hand side? You as the driver can reach for it easier? As much as I like the steering wheel controls, I still use the volume control **** when I need to adjust volumes quicker.

I hit ~16mpg during my break in period too. I get 18-19 now, and I hope you will in a few months time!

 

I meant right hand side sorry, and I bought the car with 19,000 miles so unless I start driving alot more conservatively I probably wont see better mileage

 

F%$KiNG RRAATTTTLLLEESSSSSS

 

Congrats. It's a great car really; this thread is kind of a little venting area because as all things in life, this car isn't perfect.

To fix the shifting sluggishness, consider getting a grounding kit from Gordgee. It's called Grounding Gear, just do a search. I put it on my 6 speed manual and even my car has picked up a lot, especially in the low end. With the automatic, I hear it's like magic. The kit is like $130.

If you are worried about tire wear and stuff just get some camber kits, they are like $400 for front and back if you wanna do it right.

Gas mileage will go up after a while.

 

you mean right side... i like it... easy to reach when your hand is resting on the shifter

 

Here we go :

1. wish it were lower
2. Wish it came with the sport wheels and tires (it does in 2008)
3. IPOD CONTROL !!! Come on Infiniti !!! (this one pisses me off)
4. Wish the suspension wasn't as "soft"
5. Wish I would have got the NAV package (that one is on me though)

That being said I love the car. That's just my little wishlist for my 2007 x sedan.

 

Sould have gotten the G35 Sedan Sport X

 

I loved the Sport but wanted the reliability of all wheel for winter weather. One of the worst ironies about getting old is that you finally have the money to buy the car you want but you realize you have to compromise for practicality. It's just not fair.
