make sure you start the G once in awhile. you dont want any deposits to build-up.i remember going to florida for a whole month. once i got home i started her up. it sputtered for a little bit, sounded like she was choking. the exhaust smelled soo rich.

i wish they have modules to time the engine to start/shut off while being out of town.

You shoulda added a third category - do you have a real winter or not? Those of us up north definitely need a beater. I tried snows my first year with the G, but it was still too low and with RWD I got stuck in my driveway once or twice. Sold the snows and wheels like new for $1K last summer and spent $2.5K on a '95 Isuzu Rodeo with 150K. That thing has not only taken me through one winter (and another to come), it has a full Thule rack system for bikes, skis, and my 17-ft sea kayak (try driving with *that* on the roof of your coupe!). So on messy days, rain or snow, or trips to Home Depot, the old SUV does the job and keeps my G in prime condition. The 10K miles I've put on it are that many less on the G - plus it makes me appreciate the Infiniti that much more. A cheaper beater is the way to go up north!

got my wife's '97 Toyota Corolla...that thing goes through snow without a problem on all season tires, plus I'm not looking forward to mounting those ugly a$$ OEM 17's with winter tires, still, I hope it won't snow too much up in NYC area, I'm enjoying my daily driven G way too much

The options don’t cover my category… purchased as a daily driven sporty sedan… things have changed and know daily driver is a company vehicle so the G is more of a weekend spirited driven sports sedan
