paints a bit soft, gas mileage, price of mods , i think the steering could give a little more feedback ala bmw m level. clutch has way too much dead space at the top.

my biggest dislkike of the g... WHY PUT BEIGE PARTS ON THE TOP OF THE INTERIOR WHEN YOUR CAR IS A BLACK INTERIOR, WTF WERE THEY THINKING. everytime i drive with my buddy in his bmm z3 m coupe i think of how much more of a drivers car it is compared to the G, and, it has black a,b, and c pillars and blakc headliner.

 

it's not FI... yet lol

 

Orange stitching is optional. You don't have to get it if you don't want it.

The only thing I don't like about my Coupe that it make me want to drive it all the time. And the result of that is toooooooooo many miles on almost brand new car.

my complaint is always worrying people will key my car cause I always walk out to my car and people are standing around it and looking inside

 

Dislikes:

1. Road noise from the drumming tires
2. Lack of pick-up, at least compared to my old STI, and not as fun to drive
3. Truck-like transmission shifting on the six speed, particularly from 1st to second
4. Gas mileage
5. The temp control system that changes the system back to where it wants it, every time I shut the car off. If I wanted the air on recirculate, I would have put it on recirculate.
6. Clutch engagement is jerky, especially in first gear
7. Oil dipstick designed by idiots. Almost impossible to take out/insert
8. Vision trying to change lanes is really bad. Big blind spot.
9. Handbrake hardly holds at all, unless you really jerk hard on it.

 

True about paint, but mod wise they are NOT expensive at all. Coming from a Lexus GS400 it seems as though all the mods are way way less expensive, I had my lexus for 2 years and didnt touch mods because they were so unbelievably expensive. If you go into BMWs they are really pricey to upgrade too.

The import car makers all seem to go cheapo depot on their paint compared to the german manufacturers. Man my 325ci had some THICK paint on that SOB!

 

#1 gripe - I agree on the paint. It sucks the big one as far as small chips and scratches.

My #2 gripe would have to be the seatbelt buckle smacking into the door and scuffing up the interior panel. This happens when you take off the seatbelt and when you close the door if you don't push the extender arm back down. Basically, you have to be SUPER gentle with it of you'll scuff that panel all to hell.

Otherwise, I really love the car and couldn't be happier with what I got for the money.

 

You sound like a real easy guy to get along with.

 

I don't know what your problem is, but the post asked us to list what we don't like. I also like a lot of things about the car.

 

tranny/clutch for me

 

Agree with1-6-7

Add the soft paint

 

Oil dipstick design is almost like an afterthought.
Tire wear.
Other than those two things, I love this car.

 

The worst thing with the G35 is the Audio system~~ i can't imagine a $50,000(Can) have a crappy audio like this

 

My front bumper chips constatntly so +1 on the soft paint

and the slow *** seats when you move the seats forward to let passengers in the back!
