To Coupe Owner's
Feelings pro & con.........
I really like my G35 Coupe otherwise I would have traded it in or sold it by
now........I only have one issue that Nissan could have improved upon and
that's the clearcoat. Maybe because I own a dark colored G it shows up
better but I think the clearcoat if too soft. My last car ('92 300XZTT) was
pearl cherry and I didn't notice the scratches as much. Other that that I
have solved the other issue of poor quality pads......dust! Ok, two issues!

Likes-The smooth body without all the boxy look and no lines. Interior setup is awesome and the car suspension rides smoooth.
Dislikes-They make the high beam hids and low beams regular xenon bulbs. Gay

OTher than that, i do not have too many complaints.
Oh man I am going through this right now. First my pinch protection went insane where if i should my door hard enough my windows would roll down. Dealership fixed that issue, now my driver side window rattles like its off the track and if i roll the window all the way down, when i try to roll it up it come up about .25" and goes back down, it does this 5 or 6 times then it finally goes back up. I have an appt to attempt to fix it Thursday.
As for the original question..
Like:
+probably one of the best all around cars you will find for the money
+everyone loves the g35 coupe, every friend of mine loves my car even my ford/chevy friends like it.
+its quick enough, sporty enough, luxury enough all in 1 for me, especially being under 40k
+exhaust sound...enough said
Dislike: not many but to be picky..
-blind spots, you have to get used to the car, when my brothers drive my car they wonder how in the world I can see anything.
-seatbelts of death, you have to find a perfect spot for you or it will choke you.
-I along with my friends find it incredibly difficult to park near a curb, i guess this can fall under blind spot but 9 out of 10 times i am either .000001" away from the curb or 3ft
Thins i like: Looks, handeling, bang for the buck
Things i dont: all random noises car makes (numerous tranny noises, loud diff, interior rattles, axle clicking) fuel filling problem, burning oil, drivers seat wiggles, bose trim keeps coming loose, it goes on and on.....

likes:
1)fun to drive and looks great.
2)extra 2 seats in the back are great for having a full grown adult or 2 children (or smlall dogs).
3) very intuitive interior controls
4) decent sound system for a bose system. does what I need it to do.
5) navigation screen is easy to use.
dislikes:
1) tranny replaced at 18K miles under warranty for no apparent fault of my own.
2) stock tires just eat up tread like no other.
3) not a lot of possible low dollar mods or DIY mods for increased power. the only way to get real power is to drop more than 10K in it for FI or a serious NA rebuild. That's very dissppointing that the cost is so high to get your feet wet on the power mods.
4) car is really lacking in the punch department.
5) GAS MILEAGE. My old acura CL TypeS 6 speed was FWD and had just as much punch off the get-go and yet it got a significant 4-5 MPG MORE. This is my largest complaint.
6) wish everything was integrated into the navi screen such as climate control and radio.

Like: I love the sleek look, the color and it powerness.
Dislike: Service fee could cost an arm and a leg if it isn't in the guaranty package.
