Tire wear.
Other than those two things, I love this car.

They had to design that ****ty dipstick on purpose to make it that bad!

Other than the oil consumption....
The 12vt power outlets having no power when you have key in off position.
Annoying when you want to leave your cell or laptop in G and keep charging them.

Paint knicked easily...more than I would have figured.
I thought it'd have brighter lights too...not much different when you flip the high beams on either.
Real good tone at 2.5k through 4.5k....but red lining it, the motor does sound pretty dry. I was surprised by this.
Fortunately...not red lining it everywhere we go.
I've had my G going on 2 months now and i really love this car, i especially enjoy it being lowered with the Sportlines by Eibach. The only thing that surprise me was that the G didn't have auto locking of the doors when you take off, also when the doors are lock i can't just pull the lever to open the door, i have to unlock them first.
Everything else is perfect, i love driving this car listening to my Stillen Dual Cats.

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.

I love the car, but............................................... ....
Psycho window motors/regulators. They have a mind of their own and I'm getting tired of it. The rattles bug the sh#t out of me too, but I know I'm on my own with that one. Infiniti has never been able to fix any rattles so far. I've had a rattle at the front part of the passenger side dash since the car was new. Lame cd player. In cold weather it always skips. The squeeking/needs lubricating sunroof drives me nuts. I now drive with it in the tilt position all the time because it's so annoying. The dealer lubes it and it's fine for a couple of weeks and then it's back. I have always had sunroofs in my cars and I've worked at many dealerships, and never have I heard of this problem before. And how about the placement of the fuse box. You need to hire a midget to see if a fuse is blown.
As for the things that I don't like that they changed on newer models, like the tiny sunglass holder, seat memory, clock you can't see at night, no ipod connection, no lighted switches on steering wheel, no shift boot on the automatics and cheap interior plastic.
I have been able to put a 2006 steering wheel in with lighted controls. I put the newer 2006 clock, which is led back lit so you can see the clock at night and those $20.00 bulbs won't blow out any more. I put a shift selector and boot from a 2006 FX that looks much better. Updated the front bumper to the 06 Sport bumper. Installed a PAC ipod unit and Harman Karden display for tunes. If only I could figure out how to do the seat memory swap, then I could let people get in the back seat on my side of the car.
