I love my car beyond words, but if I had to pick some gripes...
1. dip stick design
2. rattling from rear of cabin when going over bumps
3. heated seats: take too long to warm up, low is too cold, high is too hot!!
4. manumatic mode: won't upshift below a certain rpm, automatically downshifts when slowing down
5. stereo: no Aux. audio input even with Bose
6. stereo: vibration during beats, even on minimal Bass level from stock Bose sub
7. stereo: sporatic "read errors" of MP3 CD's
8. no keyhole to manually open trunk from outside
9. no manual lock/unlock of fuel door via switch
10. fuel door on passenger side instead of driver
11. blind spot and limited view out the back in general
12. ECU assumes you will either ALWAYS want to rev her out or ALWAYS baby her. if you drive hard after a reset, it will hold gears extra long even when you're putting around with no throttle. annoying....
13. hood propped by a rod???
14. power window & door motors noisy in cold weather

My car got totaled 2 months ago and I was considering moving to a different car because there are too many ricers buying G35's nowadays, but at the end of the day I still don't think you can beat the looks and performance of this car unless you want to plunk down a lot more dough, which I didn't want to do since I'm still in school.
So I said **** it and bought another one. At the end of the day, put quality parts on your car, maintain it using quality products, and it will show. And when you you run into the riced out G35's, yours will just look, sound, and perform all the better.

That mine's automatic and not 6mt...
On a serious note:
1. dipstick design
2. gas mpg could be better cause look at v6's and v8's now, I mean a v8 covette can get some very good highway MPG.
3. Headlight access (either take off bumper or through the fenderwall after jacking car up)
4. Seperate foglights from headlights (not too big a deal but that would be great)
5. Thin paint
