1) I have several good car audio installers at my disposal, if I want the factory xm, can I buy it off ebay and have my buddies install it? They said they can, just want to make sure.

2) I have heard varying reports on horrendous gas mileage to highway of 22 on average. I drive 96% freeway, what am I looking at real world gas mileage?

3)I am looking at journey and possibly premium package for 33k out the door. Premium adds another 1200 and as cool as intelligent key is, and memory seats, I don't really feel like I need them, any thoughts, am I missing something great by not getting premium package?

Think thats it but if there is anything I need to know please fill me in!

Thanks!

 

Prem pkg has a few cool things -- read up on infiniti.com on the pkg contents.
Only you can decide if the pkg is worth the cost. It totally depends ont he individual.

I got (almost) all of the available pkgs because I wanted them.

Fuel economy depends mostly on how you drive -- if you don't drive like you stole it, you should get 20+mpg

 

I don't see why not...

Look through the posts on mpg - some people are getting good hwy numbers.

Intelligent Key is standard on the base model.

Post pics when you get your G!!! We all know you will!

 

Umm... Premium adds $2,350 dude. I know that's not helping your dilemma, but I just thought you might want to know that And as someone has already mentioned, intelligent key is standard on all '07 Sedans.

 

The Premium package adds these items.



* Power sliding tinted glass sunroof with one-touch open/close, tilt feature and sliding sunshade
* Infiniti Studio on Wheels™ by Bose® premium audio system with 24-bit Burr-Brown DAC, single-feed 6-disc CD autochanger with MP3 playback capability, Radio Data System (RDS), and ten speakers, including 3-way component front door speakers with 10-inch subwoofers and a parcel shelf-mounted subwoofer
* Heated front seats
* 2-way power driver’s seat lumbar support
* Memory system for driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors
* Driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirror position synchronization
* One-touch auto-up/down rear windows with safety auto-reverse feature
* Power tilt and telescoping steering column synchronizes gauge cluster with column for improved vision
* Automatic anti-glare rearview mirror with HomeLink® Universal Transceiver and compass
* Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System
* Heated outside mirrors


IMO, the Premium package is SOOOOOO worth the price.........but like it's already been stated, only YOU can decide if it's worth it to YOU. And yes, it's $2350, not $1200.

As far as fuel economy, I am averaging about 25 mpg (imperial gallons). That's not too bad for a 306HP Sport Sedan IMO.
