I had my heart set on a 2007 G35s
...until I ran across JD Power Associates reliability ratings for the 2007. They werent terrible but the ratings were substantially better for the 2008's. I live in a semi-rural area and making trips to the dealer is just not practical. Reliability is an important consideration for my family. Keep in mind reliability/performance is why I am looking at Infiniti/Nissan to begin with.
Is there any sense on this forum that the 08's are more reliable than the 07's? (I have already seen the Truedelta thread that indicates that the 08's are more reliable.)

Sometimes reading these reliabilty survey can lead you wrong. Most problems people had was minor estethical issue and some wind noise. I believe most addressed already. You have nothing to worry about. I mean yes you buying a used car you have more chance something goes wrong.
My 07 had pitting grills and wind noise.

Right the 08's look like they are running about $3-4k more than the 07's in my area. Thats quite a bit of money for the essentially the same car. However, time can be worth more than money. Time spent at the dealer is time that I will never get back. So I would be willing to drop the extra money if I really felt that I was getting a more reliable car.
Im looking to replace my '97 Maxima that has been the most reliable car Ive ever owned. It had its first non-maintenance repair at 194,000 miles; the MAF went bad. Other than that its just been tires, battery, brakes, etc. I just havent found a car that I liked enough to replace my Maxima plus money in the bank (its paid off)...until now.

good to hear that the 07s are reliable....I just picked one up had it for 4 months and it's been in the shop for a total of 3 weeks....some electrical issue with the seat not working, which shuts off my side mirrors and programmable buttons and two menus on the comfort and convience are missing....all (from what i'm told) is a heater core replaced under warranty and the dealer that did that did a ****ty job, where some wires weren't connected properly. So something is shorting out my seat drive that moves the seat.
Now going on the second week for them to trouble shoot where the problem is.
I WANT MY CAR BACK!!!!!

My '07G35S6MT is a late build '07, and I've had no problems other than the slave cylinder issue (6MT), which I took care of. I agree with those who state that the advantage of the '08 is that the minor '07 issues were corrected. Other than that, the cars are the same, and the '07 will, of course, cost you less.
