What do you hate about YOUR G35?
#1156
I won't say I hate this about the car but one of the gripes I have is the turning radius. I have the 06 coupe so I don't know how it compares to the sedan but since mine's a 6MT, its a little frustrating when you're trying to make a U and it doesn't clear the opposing sidewalk.
I didn't see anyone else mention this so I'm wondering if I'm just a little crazy![Icon11](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/icon11.gif)
Other than that I'm in love since I got it

I'll take a guess and say you came from a Honda, RSX, teggy? This is a big car, it may be Japanese but it's not an econobox.

As for my gripe: the radio. Specifically, the CD player which is "unreliable," to put it euphemistically. It's driven me nuts ever since I bought it a year ago. I just had an after-market head unit installed and, voila!, my radio reception blows. Next I'm going to have my stock stereo re-installed & make a vow to never use the CD player again. $300 out of pocket on the install / uninstall, & now I get to beg those from whom I bought the double din & stereo to take them back.

Damn dude and I thought my 14-15mpg was bad. I've started experimenting with the RPMs where I shift. I do mostly short trips on weekdays in a suburban kinda setting with about 8-10 traffic lights.
Common wisdom is that 2500 rpm is perfect for economy shifting but I'm not sure thats good for every car. I've started shifting at about 3500 rpms now to see if it makes a difference.

The road noise is ridiculous sometimes. I have the drivers side or passenger side windows shaking sometimes. Rear view mirror is always shaking, GPS sometimes will rattle like hell too... but turn up the music and I can drown it out.
No major car problems thus far. Had my rack and pinion blow but that wasn't that expensive of a fix ($300?). Otherwise the car has been very good with me.

I hate how it handles in the snow. I have heard that getting winter tires would help. right now it is in the garage due to the 12" of snow we had over the holidays.
I wish it had a usb input for my ipod.
the drivers side seatbelt doesn't always recoil without help.
My car is 4 years old now. its a 2005 g35coupe. purchased new.
I get 16 mpg in town and I am sure that is due to my driving syle. I drove across country
and I was getting 27 mpg on the highway. I kept checking everytime I filled up because I couldn't believe it.
I love my car.
