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


Other than that I'm in love since I got it

 

Well the coupe and sedan are the same size so I doubt it's any different...

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.

 

i never had issues making U turns.. -shrugs- i hate RWD now tho, stupid snow.

 

I'll probably be on my third VQ soon.

UOA numbers don't lie proving a bad cheap build on my low mile current warranty replacement...ridiculious

 

i hate my awful gas mileage(11.5mpg) and the complication to find the cause. and no, i dont floor it. always keep acceleration at about 2500rpm.

 

Damnn 11.5? That's horrible

 

only thing ive ever had a real problem with is the BLIND SPOT .. thats bout it ..

im still in love with my ride .. lol

 

Funny -- I am in SC, not too far from Atlanta, and I had to get my used 6MT shipped in from Ohio. Ugh. Y'all use too much salt on the roads up there. Bottom looks like a can of PBR that's been buried in moist soil for 20 years.

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.

 

I get like 19MPG..... Which is sick, I'm coming from a 12mpg Cadillac

 

Road noise from the back seat when it is raining outside , wow is it loud! almost sounds like the door is open.

 

yea, i dont understand how ya'll are getting such crappy mileages.. unless ure peeling out at the stop lights, gunning it down the highway, and doing stupid tricks.. i drive mine day in and day out from home to work.. and i get bout 19-20 mpg

 

might not be just the g35, but i hate how the transmission can't make up its mind about 1st or 2nd when stuck in traffic...

 

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.
