What do you hate about YOUR G35?
Ditch the spare and get roadside service if you don't already. How many people have ever actually had a flat with their G? That boat anchor weighs 50-60 lbs easily.
Or, if you're whining about the appearance of the car, could not agree less.
I mean here's a bulbous butt only a mother could love:
personally I think this looks much better:
ok, dislikes -
lack of external trunk release on older models
"" full HID's on older models (HB is halogen)
seat switch placement, whoa how stupid was that?
clutch not up to power of motor
passengers getting in/out of back seat use center console lid which has easily bent hinges, then it won't close.
last, the thing is a damn MOUSE MAGNET in winter here!
Can't say I agree with any of the other points. Blind spots? Only a problem if you skipped learning to use mirrors while learning to drive. Go get a G37 with a backup camera like a Minivan Mom. Same smack being said about the 370Z now too. Get a grip...funny thing how that never comes up in F430 reviews.
I have zero interior rattles, if you do there are TSB's for specific panels and a kit to fix things like the rear window area (panels above the windows). With the folding rear seat I don't see why people bitch about the trunk, try driving a 350z for awhile. I've even carried a 5-day supply of firewood with the seat down driving to meet some friends camping, I just put down thick blankets, no problems. Try that in a Z!
Also if you pull out the spare and the deck lid, you can drop a full size coleman cooler back there, I just put down some carpet and packed in an enormous amount of picnic stuff, drove myself and 3 other people (wife and kids) 100 miles to a family picnic. There's a lot more room in the car than you'd expect given the roofline and how low it sits. Try a Z if you don't agree...

what i dont like is that i dont have the oem nav =(
1. I hate how 05 and 06 IP didn't come with black interior (at least my dash and center console is black...I can't stand the ugly brown dash...gross)
2. Wife complains about harsh ride
3. I hate the seat belt too
4. Armrest is too far back on a 6MT
5. The telescoping steering wheel is joke
6. The damn door. It likes to close on it's own if you don't open it all the way.

06 G35 Sedan sport
squeeking left vent: finally fixed by infiniti dealer.
stupid seat movement: bracket was replaced by infiniti seat still moves when coming to stop and then accelerating from stop.
Jacked up springs, wheel gap.
Headrests that lean to far forward.
Armrest to far back.
Clutch pedal click: assembly replaced by infiniti dealer.
Distance of clutch pedal throw: the DIY with tape and furniture sliders works well to resolve this.
Divider behind rear seats that blocks access to trunk.

1) Bose stereo is straight up GARBAGE!
2) I think my Altima SE-R was faster....for some odd reason.
3) That stupid, stupid highbeam/foglight on my 2005.
4) I drove a 2008 G35X, it too felt much much faster.
5) seatbelt strap keeps getting caught in door

There is a big price difference from a new Infiniti than a civic. You come to expect a little more. Little problems all add up and just become one big headache.
