Agreed I was SO CLOSE to getting light interior with diamond graphite but holy sh-t am I glad I got black!

Black interior no matter what color > gray / tan.

rear window placement with back seat , sun beams down on the kids.

manual mode in 5at is sloppy

even when you turn vdc off, anti spin is still on.

no telescoping steering wheel

stock exhaust sound is horible, i hate that dam "drone"
nissan thought it was cool though

car feels loose at 140

sun visor is to thick to clip my phone on to it

need full size spare like BMW. ( i got a flat on a mountian drive and had to baby it all the way home on the ghey donut.

headlights suck, need to use brights all the time

like above poster, doors detents are to shallow
I'm gonna have to disagree with the comment on the exhaust, I love the stock exhaust note, 03s and 05 6MTs. I dont find there to be that much drone and the VQ has a sound all its own....at least its not a mustang that gets a lot of rasp

1. Weight - argh the "X" models are just way to heavy!
2. Trunk is small and no folding seats?! WTH!
3. More color combos and transmissions!

Newbie to forum here. 06 Coupe.

I hate:

  • The seat belt retainers, useless
  • What I call the crack of death, the space between the seats and console. Drop something in there and good luck getting it back.
  • No iPod jack

Agreed. The first two you can't do anything about but there are a couple of aftermarket kits and one factory kit available for iPods. I have the factory one, and while it's not perfect, it's much better than nothing at all.

I do agree with - no side mirror reverse feature (my mom's 04 Chevy truck came withit...why doesn't my 05 G have this???), odd passenger floor lump, DIPSTICK FROM HELL AMEN!!! and no underhood light. I have never had 4 doors or a trunk, so I am too excited to complain about either, and I didn't get navi (fully loaded other than that tho). I never get lost anyway - so who needs it! JK LMAO!!!

Your not kidding. I unbolted & took my passenger seat out and found my ipod and a cell phone that I lost a year ago!

There's this slot/cave like area that you can't see by just peeping through the sides and underneath of the seat. Unbelievable I tell ya!

Like others have said, the weak *** detents on the doors. Any kind of angle or breeze, and the door slams on your leg. So irritating!

Other than that, I really don't have any complaints. I love my car ('05 G35 Sedan) and I'm trading up for the G37S Sedan now that my lease is up.

The driver side seat belt on my 05 G35C sits a bit higher then any car I've ever driven. The seat belt literally rides along the leftside of my neck. Its irritating cause it rubs on and leaves a red line on my neck. I heard something about purchasing the passenger side seat buckle and swapping that out. Since the buckle does sit higher. This is probably my only complaint so far.
