I've been lurking for awhile. I keep reading new cases of the same issues most of you are getting with your G35 sedans, dead battery, i-key failure, and straightline driveability issues. I'm not too concerned with the dead battery or i-key failure. I am however **** about how the car handles and drives. Is the straightline tramming really that bad?

I test drove a G35S automatic and loved it. I can't seem to get this car out of my head. I guess I'll test drive one again before I buy one.

This is what happened to me yesterday. I hope it's totalled. There might be driveline issues too. The engine was running fine but the car was hesitating to move forward when I was trying to move it off the street. I was rearended and hit a land cruiser pretty hard too. Saw the hit coming too.

 

teh G is freakin awesome. no matter what anyone says, it's an incredible car. i've had more minor troubles with mine than most on here I think, and i would not trade it back for anything.

my X handles like a dream, the sport feels great too. I just wanted the AWD, but the sport was my number 2.

hope to welcome you to the G owner circle soon. good luck with your buy!

 

Well we bought an '04 and 3 months later bought an '05 and now 2 years later I have gotten an '07. We have had a few of the issues that seem to pop up on here but it is certainly not been what I would call a problem brand or even a PITA brand.

 

well.. don't count on that car being totaled, It will be costly to repair, but best of luck on getting your G...

I'm losing patience waiting for mine

 

Can't speak for the 07's, but I don't notice any of those issues on my 04 sedan. handling-wise, it goes where I point it....On the straights, it tracks straight--Even if I take my hands off the steering wheel at 75-80 mph (only for a couple seconds to test it).

 

Tramlining is not an issue on the G35x (can't speak for other models), not even any noticeable at all. Other cars I have had had this issue really bad (MB E430 Sport and Volvo S60R) so I am very familiar with the felling and the problem.

Other issues I have not had (keyfob, battery), but I have only had the car 2 weeks.

Only recuring annoyance I have is the loss of the VoiceTags in the phone system. Have lost then 4 times already and am giving up for now until I have my first service. This issue has been posted about by many people so I suspect it is widespread.

If you are considering this car I could not recommend it more, except I don't want to see too many more on the road, starting to become ike a 3 series in NJ, everywhere I turn I see one...

 

that's why you gotta have a different color than white, black, or silver.

 

I have an 07x and have been driving it for 6 months now. I have had no issues with the i-key nor have I noticed any problems with straight line stability. It's a great car and I guarantee you will love driving it.

 

I have the car you're considering, it's fantastic, handles great, no straight-line issues, no i-key issues (yet).

Buy the G! But unfortunately, I second the opinion that your Audi is not totaled.

 

wow sorry to see the audi go! the tramlining isnt bad at all. i think i had more in my audi than the g35. tires also play a major role in tramlining. i havent had any problems with the i-key or dead batteries or anyhitng else for that matter. you wont regret the g!

 

g/l with all..doesnt look total

 

Yeah it does not look that bad (your car)

Why are you looking into a G and not another Audi?

is it really that bad?

 

i, too, don't think that's totalled.

why do you wish it was? that's a nice car...

 

btw no tramlining issues with my Journey model...

 

also no tramlining with my journey as well, G35
