I just sold my 2005 G35 6MT Coupe and there are some things I won't miss about it.
1. The Brakes were terrible. I wish they kept the Brembos.
2. The overly intrusive traction/stability control.
3. The seatbelt digging into my neck.
4. The lack of headroom. With a helmet for autocrosses I had to tilt my head.
5. Constantly vibrating and moving shifter.
6. Poorly designed dipstick. What "dipstick" designed that?
7. I think the car is "under-tired" and needs wider wheels and tires.
The G35 was a good looking car and I will say the G35 was a great deal given the price and what was included as standard equipment. I thought about spending money to mod the car to make it more how I wanted it, but ultimately decided to but my money into buying something else. My time with the G35 was not bad, but I cetainly was not the happiest with the car and I moved on. I ended up spending a lot more money to find a car that made me happy, but it didn't have the level of standard equipment that the G35 had, and every option on the other car was certainly not cheap.
Someone complained about the mods being expensive for the G35, they haven't seen anything until they start looking at what it costs to mod anything German.

not sure if this was covered but......
i dunno who designed the little gap between the seat and the arm rest console or whatever it is, but if u drop u freakin cell phone- Razor or anything small enough to fight through there and you got big hands- good luck-
i cut up my hands a couple of times, moving the seat back and forth didn't really help either- phone got wedged and the seat ended up crackin part of the cell phone as well - but other than that all is well
