What do you hate about YOUR G35?
#1426
ok back on topic, i think i contributed to this thread before, but i found some new things i hate about my g:
-taking almost an hour to swap out my bulbs!
-no gas door release ( ppl can just push that **** open and pour water in it! )
-paint quality sucks
-head room
-doors too heavy ( my leg always gets hit by my door swinging shut on its own)
-none of my sun glasses fit in the sunglasses cubby!
-seat belt doesnt retract on its own
-window motor starting to fail
despite all these flaws, i still love my car.

no i understand. but you have to take it for what it is. the g series is by no means meant to be their fast car, if anything its infiniti's entry level car. however, it is the best bang for the buck out there imo. it has decent speed, great exterior + interior and decent reliability. great trade off between a luxury sports car.

But about the gas release. You know it automatically locks when you lock the doors. You can only open it when the doors are unlocked.

But then again, you would be wrong. I have had lots of max's and altima's try, but with no avail. Just b/c they have CLOSE to the same engine doesn't mean they are just as fast. Not being douche, sry but you are not telling the truth. The g is a fast car no matter how you slice it. I have taken every mustang gt I have tried, even took a stang cobra, proly cause it was a convertible (extra weight). The only cars that have beaten my g and very close at that were a GTO, and a Porsche 911 Turbo. I had a AMG CLK 35 come close, but we were just about equally matched, until you involve the driver, this is why I won. Of course it isn't a ZR1 Vette, or a Lambo, or Ferrari, but the G will hang just about anything that isn't over $70k. For the price the G/Z is one of teh best deal out there.

even the older NA cobra would tear apart a g35, let alone the supercharged one

5 speed 3.5 altimas and 02-03 6 speed maximas are a drivers race..should be fairly easy for you since you race parked cobras

my bro used to have a GTO...it had some mods but it wasn't even close really
yeah...civics are at least reliable and have good mpg..lol j/k

maybe but subaru always seems to lose comparison tests, back in 2002 the wrx lost to an rsx in an edmunds test, a newer model lost to the fwd mazdaspeed3, the latest base wrx just lost a comparison to the much slower ad fwd GTI and the new sti lost a compro to the evo x...not saying i necessarily agree with these decisions but there is something about scoobys that looks great on paper and doesn't test well in the real world. Also my friend worked at a GM/Subaru dealer and he seems to think they aren't as reliable as they seem either...well actually I think its more of a problem if you arent dilligent about changing the oil on the turbo models
#1433
the cars listed dont even have to be 2011 cars lets make it comparable by year.
1999 mustang GT
2006 mustang GT
2005 C5 corvette
2006 C6 corvette
2005 GTO
1995 supra
2002 M3
2001 S4
the list goes on every car has its pros and has its cons, all in all I love my G its the perfect blend of looks, performance, and quality.

I have heard they are pretty rock solid cars all around, but my good friends are all mechanics (techs) and they say whenever they see issues with the subies it's because they were improperly modified or just abused.

its definatly a good value for luxury performance and much cheaper and easier to maintain then many of those car

I've noticed that as well. The newest model WRX has proven to me the most successful in comparison tests. Comparing the AWD turbo wrx in 2002 to the RSX-s is dumb because the rsx is 2 doors, non turbo, and fwd. Not much of a comparison at all. I would probably say the RSX is a better car myself. The 02-03 bug-eye models had some serious issues..specially the glass tranny. The 04-05s were still underpowered with the 2.0. In 06 the WRX starting getting the STi 2.5 instead of the measly 2.0, and a more modern bodystyle/interior (but a smaller turbo and other restrictions). Then the body style changed in 08 again to the 4 door or 5 door models.. then in 2009 the WRX got SIGNIFICANTLY faster with the new bodystyle. The 09+ WRX runs 0-60 in 4.7 seconds...compared to the same body style 08 that does it in 5.9. It's also faster than the STi in some areas... so why would I want the STi? lol.... They have really stepped up in the game in the past few years.. especially with the WRX. The blocks have also now proven to hold more power. Someone made a 1400 hp ~8 second STi. 0-60 in 1.9.

Um, theres a video of a s2k with an intake and exhaust destroying a Stock G on every run. (dead stop, 10mph roll, 25,mph roll, 55mph roll etc etc).
The G isn't that quick. And so what if it has in intake and exhaust? lol The G has a V6 and larger motor.
Besides an intake and exhaust don't do much anyways. It adds what? 10-20 more hp? That's what? A total of 240-250 hp?
