I was previously set on a 08 sedan, but I was told that in order to get my loan, i must purchase a 09 or newer vehicle. This is great, except the car is newer aka more expensive and harder to find in the price range that I need.

I'm still staying positive, but I had done weeks of research on the 3.5 and then I was told that I need to switch plans. I know that the 3.7 is faster and has a 7sp transmission in the 09 model, but it looks pretty much the same on the exterior. Going into 2010 though, I am not aware of the difference, if any, or which. The only thing I do know is that the 2010 has fogs in the front bumper, which I do prefer if I can.

Another question, say I have a 09 and 10, same price, and around 60-65k miles. Which should I choose? I'm just looking for feedback from drivers of these car for help!!

 

46 TSB's for 2010, 71 TSB's for 2009.

TSB's are Technical Service Bulletins. These are like "necessary fixes" for the dealer to do and things to watch out for. They are not all bad. Here are a few examples:

A/T - 7 Speed A/T Fluid Color/Refilling Information
A/T - Harsh 4-3 Downshifts At 30-20 MPH
Body - Wind Noise From The Sunroof Area

Infiniti has put out more TSB's for the 2009 AT, but you have to figure the car has also been out for longer. For more details look on the toolbar containing home, new/today's posts to find TSB's and recalls.

Next it all comes down to service history. Which ever one was serviced for things like oil and necessary fluid changes is in healthier condition. The rest is up to you, I hope this helps .

 

Mechanically they are the same.

The changes for 2010 include a new front grille, fog light clusters and a restyled rear bumper in addition to new 17-inch wheels. Inside there are a few tweaks as well, which include new white gauges, center console, aluminum trim and leather seats. The navigation system gets a new display screen and now also features NavWeather with Real-Time Weather and 3-day forecast, Streaming Audio via Bluetooth and Zagat Restaurant Guide.

 

Having test driven a number of 09's and '10s in search of a new car...the subtle appearance changes of the '10 have grown on me.

Starting to not want to consider '09's anymore.

 

Once you look at a '10+ G37, the '09s seem old and like the 07-08s.

 

Then you get in a Q50 and you say f*ck the G37 altogether lolololol.

I absolutely love the new models..........

 

For 07-09 35 to 37 sedans.. What package gets you memory seats? I'm asking because I know where the buttons are located in the 12 coupe, but when I'm looking online at pictures, I don't see those same buttons on the doors.

 

I am not sure about the 07-08, but for the 09's the Premium Package is needed for the memory seats.

 

I started out with an 09 sport sedan, ended up converting the front end to the 2010+ sport sedan. Added a lip, black grill and black headlights, 2010 front end is a lot better looking imo, here are some pics for comparison, I swear that's the same car

 

I was thinking of doing the same but it would of costed me over $3000 to do lol but I got into an accident and got new headlight for the 09 so I will put of the conversion for now lol. I do have the front grill and the left side headlight for the conversion.
