Just a few gripes....

- Cannot get more than 18 gallons in alleged 20 gallon tank even when I drive 30 miles past EMPTY - ZERO MILES LEFT. I want to use ALL 20 gallons!
- Trunk opening decreased by CD magazine.
- No Automatic Door Lock option when car is in motion.
- Drivers seat bottom does not tilt enough.
- Expensive Bridgstone Potenza tires with short life - but it is worth the excellent handling.
- Fingernails scratch paint when opening doors. Ugly scratch marks on all doors.

Left air vent has been replaced because of creeking/cracking noise, starting to notice the noise gradually returning.
Clutch pedal was replaced over summer, no click return yet.
Seat bracket replaced for a 2nd time a couple months, no movement yet.

Seems like there is a creek noise in the driver side door panel as well, can be annoying when driving long distance.

A few items undoubtedly listed but:

1) wind noise
2) cheap looking console / radio
3) it's at home right now, while I'm at work

^^ seriously.. i baby all my cars, modded most all of them, but i think the g is my favorite... i have never had any problems with any of my cars or clutch or tranny problems whatsoever.. i know how to drive.. the service manager told me my clutch was sticking because it was the way i drive.. FVckin azzhole...!!! i was like.. dood.. it's not the way i drive.. there is something wrong with it.. can u just make the car drive the way it is suppose to.. he said i had it all raced out.. and at the time i only had a stillen exhaust.. lol

WARRANTY..? True Dat..!!!

EDIT: the passenger door lock actuator went out at 61,000 miles..so i had to pay for it and install it myself... BTW at Tustin Infiniti they wanted over 300 for the part.. i got it from TONY at Riverside Infiniti for $189...

I'll add an additional one to my list:


- I seriously dislike the retracting-seatbelt- thing. The seatbelts never fully retract, when you undo the belt to get out it just kind of sits in the seat.

epic fail on Infiniti's part.

I got my g coupe at the end of november and only drove it for about 300 miles before I put it away for the winter, but in that short time I found that the road noise is terrible. so bad that after only a couple of days driving I brought it back to the dealership asking them to check the wheel bearings. I thought they were shot . I realize that it is a sports car and should not expect a cushy quiet ride but not so noisy that I have to blast the radio to drown out the road noise. I have also read on this forum that the type and condition of tire makes a huge difference as well . Otherwise I can't wait to get this car back on the road this spring instead of just looking at it sitting there in my garage.

Trunk Design

I hated the trunk design so I had to spice it up a little!
