new 2006 G35X
I traded in my H3 for a new G35X graphite grey.
I love the car but have a few minor problems:
1. Does the car need burn-in time? After driving it somewhat smells of something burning (not really burning but something trying to be worked in?)
2. The damn seat controls are killing my hip. I am not a fat-a$$ but the edge of the seat controls are really digging into the side of my leg/hip. Anyone else have any problems with the edge of the seat controls (ie: not much padding just above the plastic edge of the controls)? It is uncomfortable.

The burning you can smell is a coating on the exhaust pipes -- it'll gradually go away.
Talk to the dealer about the seat controls. He should be able to boost the padding.

as a followup:
I managed to actually bend the seat controls slightly wider (towards the center armrest). The 1-2 inches made all the difference. I still feel the controls under my leg/hip somewhat (if at all) but it no longer bothers me and is comforable for longer drives now.
So, if you bend the controls outward a bit it helps.
Hopefully this information will help someone in the future.
