just found out my 2005 6mt sedan burns half a quart per 1000 miles..........

and oh yea... i get a lot of rattles... esp when its hot out...

 

Agreed.

 

might i ask what "Tsb" means im new to this forum

 

2003. Build date was 4/03.

Those of you putting all of your faith in Toyota and Honda may be disappointed there too. Every major manufacturer has its share of problems and lemons. No car is perfect and problem free all of the time.

Look at Honda with their Accord/TL tranny problems.

Look at Toyota with their oil sludging problems. Talk to the president of my company who had to have the engine replaced in his $70k Lexus SC430 at 25k miles due to a defective main bearing, and his 50k mile SC300 left him stranded with a dead alternator. Recent stalling problems with the Toyota Prius.

Just a few examples.

 

First - I've had two G35's. First one got to 15,000 miles before I sold it. No problems. Second one is at 76,500 with no problems either. Only time I've had to bring it in was to get the front seat to stop squeaking. Took them 15 minutes.

Now, I hate doing this, but as you know folks with issues are normally the ones that come to the boards (aside from enthusiats), so of course you see a much higher percentage of people having problems on the boards than is actually the case. Poke around the acurazine, clublexus, clubsi, etc.. they all have their share of problems. Infiniti is one of the highest rated brands for reliabilty.
