Any Issues with 05 G's ?

I'm suppose to be picking up a G this weekend. But i'm trying to find out if there are any major issues with the 05 models.

I have 03 now and i'm still keeping that and other then brakes / broken window motor / fuel door cover and crappy leather interior i dont have any major issues.

I know 05 models are changed a lot on the interior ... but do they still have the same issues as the older models have.

PLEASE let me know. If not... i might consider going with ACURA TL as a back up plan.

Check the sticky in this forum about one of the issues.. and also I hear that the treble and bass settings reset every time back to 0..

I considered an Acura TL, and it had it all, but unfortunately it was not only WWD, but I'm seeing way too many on the roads these days, which is understandable, its a great daily driver car with great interior and a great engine.

The car is great.
The sticky is about a misrepresentation of a package Infiniti was selling.
The BOSE stereo resetting only happens if the bass/treble are set to the highest setting as a "protection" feature - I personally wish they wouldn't have done this but I've adapted and don't set either level to "+5".
Get the G, it's way better than the Acura.

i got mine about 2 weeks ago, auto. i live up a hill so everytime i drive down the slope i get a grinding noise, it sounds like my brakes or maybe there is alot of weight push up againt the front n its grinding somewhere. only happens driving downhill though, other than that everything is fine. taking the car for inspection once i reach 3k mark.
