Took my 2008 base G35x in for a cluster lid replacement and somehow they broke my windshield during the repair. They didn't have the windshield in stock so they gave me a 2010 G37x loaner. Loaner has every option except Nav.

My impressions of the G37:

G35 better low end G37 better high end. Pulling out of the dealer lot G37 seems sluggish at the start compared to my G35 but then as RPMs build G37 seems faster then G35.

The 5AT on the G35 is way smoother then the 7AT on the G37. I did not like the 7 speed at all. Very abrupt downshifts and in slow moving traffic (30-40MPH) it was constantly changing gears. Think there is a TSB for this…definitely needs it.

Handling..G37 seems a little tighter and rides a little better but may not be fair comparison...G37 only has 10K miles my G35 has 42K.

The G37 gets better gas mileage. I average 22 in my G35 and was getting 24 with the G37. This could be attributed to the 7 speed tranny in the G37. The RPMs in the G37 were lower for any giving speed. In my G35 the RPM’s are just below 3000 at 75 MPH. In the G37 the RPM’s were 2500 at 75 MPH.

Road Noise – no noticeable difference between the two. This really depends on tires.
Rattles – same …the usual… dash, rear deck, glove box.

Bose system is better than my base system but not as nice as my new Alpine/Boston Acoustics setup


G37 has white gauges instead of red. Like the red better but this is personal opinion.

G37 heated seats have a **** with 6 temperature settings. The G35 has a simple switch with Hi and Low settings.

G37 center console has less storage space and is difficult to open with one hand. You have to lift your arm and then press down on a release button then lift.

XM radio sound quality still sucks in the G37.

 

Didn't think you could get less console storage. Can't find much in there at all on the G35.

I should drive a G37 since it addresses the minor complaints I have about the G35 (slighly more power, a couple more gears), but it seems like the 7 speed is a bit of a dud.

 

What amazes me is how you get 22mpg with g35x....I barely get 17...

 

If i drive nice (>2.5k nice) i can get 23 mpg in my 2004 g35x.
18mpg if i drive it hard.
12 if im racing it.

 

Add +2 PSI to each tire and baby it.

 

the 37 also adds a dummy light on the dash to indicate when your headlights are on, and auto-lock doors. 'features' i found annoying on a loaner i had.

 

perfect review, imo, i couldn't agree with you more on all the points you touched on. the boston audio setup sounds sweet post up a pic if ya got one...i wanna do something like that...or pm me some info

 

I posted my speaker install pics in the V36 audio section for you.

i like the interior accents of the g37s though

 

Same with the 09 G37 loaner i have been driving for 3 weeks now..steering is tighter and it does ride better than my 07...my 07 has 65K though and loaner has 30K
