from personal experience on my 2007 oh man holy wind noise and I did do the tsb like twice, and also the tray that covers the bottom of the glove box always falls....

 

You complain too much. Go own an Audi or VW then come back and talk to us about quality. Their interior chip and fall apart just as much. Except they squeeeeek.

 

Sorry, why stir up threads that are getting old and already past?

Again, that's my opinion. I own a Lexus and Infiniti. I would never consider owning a German car long term. As for Japanese cars, Infiniti interior quality and durability is nowhere close to Lexus or Acura. Compare apples to apples please.

And to be honest, if a Japanese car falls apart as much as a German car, then we have a problem here. They should be outlasting German cars in the first place. I already said that it's fine to agree to disagree, so just drop it.

 

Sure go buy an Acura, they have transmission issues and plenty of little interior quirks.

Or buy a Lexus, and have a boring car with no feel (also older Lexuses are having issues with warping dash pads, so theres an interior quirk to)

EVERYTHING has a trade-off and NOTHING is going to be perfect. I know your all butt hurt your car has been a POS, but for the majority of us, our cars are flawless. Mine has 54k on it and I have no issues, and no issues popping up. The car runs perfectly and after i had the TSB interior issues fixed with the updated ones, it looks brand new inside and is holding up.

You post in every thread complaining about something and calling us 'fan boys' and it is really starting to drain on people. I'd suggest cooling your jets. If i wanted a flippin Lexus I would have bought one. But they are boring as **** regardless of their better interior build quality. This car runs rings around every other Japanese car in its class, and thats why we like them. What is so hard to understand?

 

See my experience is the opposite..but every area is different

 

The thing about me is that I'm very meticulous when it comes to my car. I would notice even the smallest things that are wrong with my car. I'm pretty sure everyone has a problem with their car, big or small. If you let me spend 30 minutes in your car I would bet I'd find something wrong with it. Heck, Lexus isn't perfect either; I've found some problems with that car too, but not as nearly as much as the ones in Infiniti. They're small problems actually, but still enough to annoy me. Ever since I've gotten the major problems fixed under warranty, I have no other huge problems. The other ones I notice are small annoyances and occur only some of the time. In fact, the service techs or even my passengers never noticed my problems, but I do.

I take very good care of my car, and I'm just voicing my disappointment over Infiniti's quality control. I deemed the term fanboys who blame the cause of failure due to lack of maintenance and using that as a blanket explanation for failures. No need to be so offended.

I never said there shouldn't be a tradeoff. There are always drawbacks to a car, but that shouldn't mean sacrificing quality control because it'll end up costing Infiniti more anyways due to warranty replacement. It's always better to get it right the first time, especially frivolous things like door trim, the rubber molding, and the dashboard. The whole reason why Infiniti was cheaper because their name brand isn't still up to Lexus or Acura or even BMW or Audi. It costs like $5 to make the door trim, rubber molding, or dashboard better, and they could've done that easily. These problems certainly won't help their image.

To you these problems may be acceptable but other people have different expectations for a $40k car. My tolerance for problems is probably lower than yours. Again, let's just agree to disagree and drop it altogether. No point in trying to convince me because that's my experience and I've already had two different Infiniti vehicles, both with more problems than other Japanese cars I've owned. Overall, I'm still satisfied, but these problems do give me a headache.

 

Ummmm.... sooo.... what do you guys think about THIS concept car huh?

 

But you see mathnerd, the problem with your posts is that you are NOT JUST voicing concern of minor issues that (in your estimation) belie the quality of the car; NO, you've even made a (hysterical) post directed at a brand new member which speculatied as to whether his car would even hold up much longer.

Here's the exchange from another thread that I'm speaking of:


As I mentioned in that other thread, I think it's very wrong of you to present a view so rife with bias. Frankly, I think you'd do well to offer an apology for it, but judging from your defense of this practice, I'm guessing you're not. In that case, I'm glad that a mod has finally taken notice to your behavior and will be watching you.

This deserves it's own thread, but I get where you were going with it.

 

^ And what's your point? I'm giving my honest opinion.

What you are saying is that we have to curb our frustration at some of the things we've experienced with our cars? What's the point of a forum when we can't discuss how we feel about our cars or our problems with them?

I never said his car specifically is crap, it's more like a cautionary tale since it's what I've experienced. I gave my honest, genuine in my experience input in the matter. I did not mean any hostility towards a new member or anything.

I can apologize if it came off as an crappy attitude, but that's how I feel about these cars. That was not my intent there to make the OP feel bad about buying a used car. I'm also not biased against Infiniti in any way. If I were, I wouldn't have bought two cars from Infiniti! It's just my opinion about the longevity of these cars compared to other brands I've experienced. I've been driving Infinitis the past 8 years so I really don't see anything wrong with giving my input.

You'd prefer me to lie to him and say his car is in perfect condition after he said he bought it 156k miles (which is what I originally thought, but he meant km?) Let's be honest here the average lifespan of a NEW car according to Consumer Reports is 150k miles.

Oh, I see, so it's kind of like the immunity gained from the "with all due respect" preface.

^ Please look up the definition of a troll. My posts were on topic with this thread. In fact, I believe the trolls are people who are trying to evoke an emotional response by posting extraneous off-topic remarks and it has to be done intentionally.

Speak for yourself, LeFrenchy

But I agree, let's drop this whole topic altogether, which is what I wrote some time ago. No need to continue this nonsense. This thread was already going to be touchy and evoking responses by its title anyways. Plus, it was already over until other board members started to jump at it again.

 

Im about 2 steps away from deleting every stupid post in this thread and moving the thread in a whole new direction.

We are done here. Anymore posts about this dude who is NOT the OP, and im cleaning the thread out.

 

soooooooo, yeah, my car is holding up just fine! lol 60k and only problems ive had is peeling steering wheel and that little corner by the gauges! just thought i'd try to turn this thread around lol
