Drove to Bear Mountain for some twisty fun this morning, then around West Pointe, Rt. 218...

I couldn't call it a day without cleaning the car with some photos.

Enjoy guys.... I still miss the G, but the high compression V8 is definitely fun to drive... especially uphill, on fast winding roads.

 

more...

 

last ones...

 

Looks nice, it used to be my dream car, then I decided I didn't want to deal with Audi/Volkswagen reliability issues. My bro had a Corrado VR6 and it was quite a pain to maintain, especially with the cost of parts and constant electrical issues..

 

Well, the car's under warranty for 4yrs/50k miles... and all services are included in that timeframe. I hope I don't have to deal with the reliability issues... but my G had little annoyances as well.

I do really like the next G35 coupe... so who knows, I might jump back into the Infiniti family.

 

I hope it treats you well! I think the first 50k miles should be fine! Especially under warranty. Its a beautiful car for sure, and who wouldn't want a V8!? Have fun with the S4! Take some interior shots as well.

 

Very nice. My buddy has the wagon S4 in the same color. Great car.

 

Not a bad choice....those wheels kinda remind me of the wheels that come with the M3 Competition package.

 

Jay, why are you doing this to me? LOL.... Pics look hot man!

As for the reliability issues stated, Audi's for a long time suffered from many systematic type problems. From electrical to mechanical, it was considered to be the norm, but I can honestly say within the past 10 years, Audi has seriously done a 180 in terms of over all quality and reliability. Today's Audi's are not only reliable, but they're built on if not above par to some of the more common luxury brand German manufacturers. If you look at Audi's performance as a company just within the past 5 years, you'll see that Audi's revamped its entire production facilities as well as their design approach in order to adapt to current market trends with huge success. Something Ford, which as a whole is a larger and more powerful company, has been trying to do for the past 20 years without much success. Just looking at Audi's warranty and service program (which I have been researching thoroughly within the past two weeks), it shows they mean business and stand behind what they build.

With that said, I think its safe to say today's Audi will get you to the 50K mile marker and beyond without any more worries than what we've come to expect from our Japanese imports.

The Audi, Porsche and VW affiliation might seem to be none existent, but it's clear the companies still work hand in hand in sharing vital technology within the group, which is why the three IMO are still key players in the automotive industry and will continue to be for many more years to come.

Great car Jay!

 

wait ...you didnt want to deal with reliability issues?? ...so you bought another G35.......LMAO

did the first G not have enough BS for you to deal with?

for those that dont want reliability issues ...shop at Honda + Toyota

 

WOW TAKE IT EASY, WE ALL LOVE THE G

 

nicee !

 

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING J, from the color down to the optional sport (bbs ch) wheels, its gorgeous and a blast to drive. Congrats again, i might be joining the "audi" family too, if you know what i mean hah

 

Nice choice man.!!

 

I've had no serious problems with my G except for little annoyances which I dont' consider "reliability" issues... my G has never broken down on me or anything of that nature, so yes, I bought another G.
