Having owned the G for the last 3 months so far, here's a list of gripes I have on the car:
- location and design of oil dipstick. Coming from a Lexus ES300 where the dipstick was a straight design and located smack in the center, I just don't understand why Infiniti made such a fandangled design and located it so close to the intake that I get oil on it whenever I pull the dipstick out
- location of air filter. Why is it such a tight fit between the tube and the plenum??
- propping the hood with a bar. My 2001 Lexus had hood struts. Definitely something wrong with this picture.
- accumulated brake dust on the front wheels. I know that can be fixed with aftermarket replacements, but it's annoying and I don't like how this is assimilated to the brakes in a German luxury car.
- crack/gap between the driver seat and the armrest. Drop your keys or change in there? Good luck trying to fish that out
- the center storage door above the console (where the navi would reside). It's not ergonomically designed to open with ease. It would be better if the door was designed with a spring system so that it would be pushed in to open.
- the single U-shaped floor mat in the rear. I'm so used to having two separate floor mats in the rear from my previous car. It's going to take a little while to adjust.
- the fold-down armrest in the rear. Although I like the cupholders integrated to the armrest, I don't like how heavy it feels when pulling it down, and that it doesn't have some sort of attached pull-out tab to make it easier to fold down the armrest.
All gripes aside, the performance and driveability of the G is incomparable to my previous Lexus

I hate the size of the rear view mirror with Homelink. Every stop sign I've got to peek under it to make sure there isn't a car/kid on bike there. I've got a Lexus RX300 with the Homelink on the visor and it's much better.
And I agree on the dipstick. It's like they say about a camel: It looks like it was designed by a committee.
