My only problem with the G is...
#31
I personally find it unacceptable that this is not a standard feature. Some people might be glad it's not on there because "they hate it", but I know of no modern luxury car in which you cannot turn off that feature. For a car that has such great fit and finish, a great engine, and technology that no car in its class and price range can match, Nissan really screwed up on so many simple features, including auto-locking door locks, side-view mirror mounted turn signals, a 6-speed automatic, rear-window sunshade, a traditional low-fuel light, a digital speedometer in the instrument cluster, power-folding side-view mirrors, and no-touch entry/automatic locking with the "smartkey", among other very, very simple, cheap features that are pretty much the norm in it's class (well, except for the power folding mirrors. I think only the IS has those).
Don't get me wrong, what the G35 does offer outweighs what it doesn't (or else I would not have bought it), but it still puzzles me that such simple things are not included. The G35 has what is probably the entire auto industry's best built-in navigation system/user-interface, yet lacks auto-locking door locks? Doesn't make sense!

Acura, Lexus= luxury sedan with some sport tune.
It is personal choice more sporty or more luxury.The reason I bought the G. I like more sporty and some luxury. If it was the other way around I would of bought the Lexus.
I have auto door lock on my other car and hate it so I am happy it is not a aprtof the G. If I want to do it it is still conveniencs it is only a click away.

Anyway, I've gotten used to just locking the door myself when I get in the car. It's 2nd nature to me, so I don't really mind that the car doesn't lock itself....

Although there are a lot of you that doesn't want this feature which is fine... i believe such a nice car as a g35 should have an option for this feature. This was you can have it on or off.
For example one of my cars lets me select to have this feature enabled or disabled among many other customizable features.
I don't have the g35 yet (hoping soon), but for those that doesn't like the car to lock by itself because of an accident... doesn't the car automatically unlocked when it detects collision? Does it also transmit your GPS location for emergency in an event of an accident and you are unconscious? I like this feature in my current car.
Thanks.

Other than that there is no problem.

it's like the automatic seat belt a few years ago for those who were too lazy to do it themselves. That was one of the most annoying and dangerous features on a car. There are many features on this car that many of us will never use but paid good money for. A car company cannot apply all the technologies on a single car to please all it's customers. Every car company will not have the same features. That is the reason we picked a G35 instead of a BMW, Acura or an Audi. We simply determine which automobile has the features, technologies, values and great looks we desire and make a decision.
