All,

At the bottom of this message is the 3-yr review I had posted of my 2007 G35S 5AT (premium, nav). This is a 4-yr update...

The car now has 21k miles on it. There are no squeaks, no rattles, no problems. The interior and exterior look as new.

In addition to the (low) maintenance costs incurred during the first 3 years, in year 4, I spent $39 each on 3 oil & filter changes at the dealership. So, my cumulative 4-year maintenance cost has been $480. I am planning on doing auto trans. fluid, coolant flush, and differential fluid in the spring.

I had the brake judder TSB done. There was no cost and the dealership had no objection to doing it.

Overall, the car has been phenomenal and I have essentially zero complaints. It has been exceptionally trouble-free, is a blast to drive, and is in showroom condition.

Aside from my previously stated wishes about richer leather and thicker carpet, my only gripe is that the tire wear on the RE050A's hasn't been the greatest. I'm probably going to get Kumho Ecsta Platinum all season performance tires in the spring, too.




================================================== ===
All,

I've been posting here periodically since getting my '07 G35S 5AT sedan with Premium and Navigation on 12/6/2006.

In the past three years, I've thoroughly enjoyed the car. I love the styling (and think it looks far better than the 3-series), the quality, and the driving dynamics.

Over the past three years I have had to spend (or have done):

Oil changes - $39 per oil change, 3X a year, for 3 years = $351.
in-cabin air filter - $12 at Pep Boys (DIY).
New tire (because I drove over a roofing nail) - $225.

So, not counting the tire, total maintenance has been $363 for 3 years. Not bad.

The car has had zero squeaks, zero rattles, zero maintenance or reliability issues. It has 15,300 miles on it now. The interior shows no signs of wear on either seats, dash, or *****/buttons.

Overall, I still could not be happier with the purchase decision. I still look back on it when I walk away in parking lots, and still can't wait to get behind the wheel.

My only gripes:

- Thicker, more plush carpeting would be appreciated
- Thicker, richer leather would be appreciated (though this seems to be getting addressed).
- Tire life...front tires are nearly bald after 15,300 miles on not-very-spirited driving.

Thanks for the review.

Yeah this car is def a looker.

I am glad you have had a trouble free experience.

Thats some low miles for 4 years. I wish I could keep my driving habbits down to 4k miles a year.

 

^ +1 good review but with the miles you have i would not expect to have any problems either, im nearing 50k and have no big complaints either!

 

You don't drive at all!!

 

I am up to 85K miles and my alternator just went. Now I am waiting for it to arrive within the next two weeks. Your 21k miles isn't realistic for a DD. JMO.
