As someone said earlier the only rattle I get occasionally is the passenger seatbelt when it is left up and no passenger there. Other than that it is pretty good, I guess you just got real unlucky with all the rattles in that car.

Even the Porsche 911 owners complain about rattles...granted I do have a small rattle near my rear speakers somewhere which can get annoying when I focus on it but it's not annoying enough for me to want to sell the car...

I have like 17K miles on my 04 G35 Coupe.... no rattles yet.

My Tacoma has a ton of rattles in comparison to my car, and the car has a stiffer suspension too.. so it is more likely that the interior would be exposed to harsh road-incurred vibrations than in the soft and fluffly truck suspension.

I'm with the old guy. Stop complaining and hit the gas. Yea there is some creaking and the road noise is a bit much, but heck...the true sports cars come standard with that and with no charge just like the G... only thing though is that at 29-35k our purchase was a real steal!

350Z rattles a lot more than G35C, but can't beat Z4 noise.
Not the price or the brand, may be need to look for a different type. I must admit that I was a little disappointed, coming out of Z, paying extra $12k didn't get me rattle free car. Toyota/Lexus is extremely quiet. Even Camry is quieter than G35 sedan. But, Toyota/Lexus will never create a car excites me more than G35. I love it!

I had some rattles in my 03 coupe, but I would say not more than in 00 accord v6 coupe I had. The 05 coupe I have now has no rattles so far, 7k miles.

My G only rattles when landing after being airborne above 100 MPH, but it says in the manual that rattles under those conditions are to be expected. You think you have rattles? This guy has rattles.



Also the little gnome I have hanging from the rearview swings way too much when I'm drifffffting around the corners. At least he keeps smiling.

Seriously, if you don't like the car you're entitled to your opinion. There are a few quirks that I would change if I could, but overall I'm very pleased with the car. I did a lot of reading (2 years) before I bought and haven't experienced anything that I didn't already know was a possibility.

I have 55k miles on my coupe. Still no rattles. I have had several body integrity issues.

-three curbed rims.
-one dented right front corner panel.
-lower front bumper problem. Armadillo at 80 mph, at night.

All on me.

Gc

ok i think some ppl here are missing the point. its not that we're bad drivers or dont know how to drive stick or avoid potholes (try driving in michigan year round). Its just that some cars are put together better than others which shows a lack of consitentsy with buidling a quality product. I had squeaks/rattles since the first month and it didnt make me wanna sell my ride. I had Z28 and mustang gt before and didnt have this many rattles, no bs, and not hating on my car. I still love it, just wish i didnt get the crap one that sounds like UAW worker assembled.
