infiniti g35 problems : Nearly every one of these items you list is standard on the G35, but a highcost option on the BMW, Audi, Mercedes.You didn't mention the CD Changer which is a very expensive option on thegerman cars(try $600-900).The people I know who own Audi and Mercedes indicate otherwise. Their carshave more problems, more trips to the shop for repairs than I have had onsome of my worst cars.My Infiniti G20 in 50k miles has been in once, for a rattle on the rearpackage shelf. That's it beyond regular maintenance. Do you understandjust how much that quality feature alone is worth to me? Do you realize howmuch effort it takes to bring a car into the garage when you work for aliving?Yeah, whatever. You seem awfully defensive, attacking the Infiniti with aseries of lies and falsehoods.For me, I decided I wanted a car right now and was unwilling to wait untilnext year for the manual tranny to be available on the G35. Although here'sanother point for you... The manual on my G20 is better than that planted inthe Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Much better clutch feel, it's not nearly asnotchy and so forth.
infiniti g35 problems : What research shows that the 850's are "great cars" and "last forever"? Theresearch that shows the ABS control unit tends to bite it every few years($600)? The research that shows the A/C evaporator tends to develope a leakevery few years ($1000)? The research that shows the transmission havegremlins in it? Or was it the research from JD Power & Associates indicatingthat Volvos bought 5-6 years ago not only are not relatively problem-freecompared to other vehicles, but have *more* problems than average? Orperhaps it was the research from JDPA showing that new Volvos have moreproblems than the *average* new vehicle? Finally, maybe it's the comparisontests from the various car rags where the S60 T5 gets its ass kicked handilyby everything from BMWs to the new Infiniti G35?You can expect your S60 to run for 300,000 km like your Sunbird but withprobably $8000 in repairs. You will be on a first name basis with your Volvoshop guy and you will help him put his kids thru college. But the Volvo willrun 300,000km.
infiniti g35 problems : Fit finish and materials are to a good degree a matter of what one likes. Iremember the last time I looked at a 3 series at a local BMW dealer I wasamazed at how cheap the interior looked compared to our 10 year old LS400.With reliability as the subject we can get more concrete. Looking in Aprilmy 2002 Consumer Reports auto buying guide issue at the Infiniti listings Ifind two models the g20 and I30. The G20 has a limited sample with manyyears missing. The I30 data set is complete. There is not one black or halfblack dot. Not one since 1996, the year the model came out. (Same for theNissan Maxima.) Comparing the 3-series for the same time period, we find twohalf-black dots (electrical and power equipment). Conclusion: both BMW andInfinity/Nissan do a fine job on reliability with Infiniti/Nissan a littlebit better for a lot less money. You don't even want to look at Audi. Blackdot gulch for the A6. The MB C-class similarly has black dot problems.Nissan/Infiniti have recently had a near-death experience with very softsales due to goofy management decisions. That sort of thing tends to focus acompany and early signs are that we are going to see some very good thingscoming from the company. High performance, very reliable cars at very goodprices.
infiniti g35 problems : "Steve Sheldon" wrote in news:u9qdn7souvlp46@corp.supernews.com:Not to diss your car...the G20 has some good attributes (2.0 engine), but I've never considered styling one of them; Although, I do agree the rear of a G20 is better styled than the 4-gen Max.I guess it's one of those things that has to grow on you. But, discord is the first thing that comes to my mind.I'm interested in hearing a lot about the G35, as I am looking at buying onenext year when my car is paid off.Acura tends towards larger side mirrors. I had an Integra LS prior to theG20, and that took a bit of getting used to. But in the case of theIntegra->G20, the side and rear visibility was much better.No, you don't want to push it for the first 1000 miles or so.Firm seats are good. The G20 seats are a bit too soft and small for myliking, not enough support. That was something I missed from the Integra.As far as the power seat controls... hard to know where to place them. Myparents have a Saturn LS, and the controls are in about the same positionbut on the left side so that you hit them getting in and out of the car. Onmy G20 they are on the left side and hard to reach. No memory seats, I justdon't touch them much.
infiniti g35 problems : How have you found the amber gauge lighting? I noticed that more than one car mag review has said that legibility suffers. If so, ironic as the Maxima was a stand-out in that area.Also, how is the OD gearing? ie what RPM's at normal high-way cruising speed? I've read some complaints abou that on freshalloy.net. One thing I don't understand is why Nissan goes so dark with the blue exterior color. It appears even darker than my Midnight Peal Maxima; I was hoping they would lighten it similar to that mid-blue of BMW; I think it would have looked good on the G35. In daylight, you almost have to see the Twilight Blue next to black to notice the difference.All the models on my dealers lot were G35 leather; none less than 32.5K MSRP. Only one out of six had the "sport" package; only one had Xeon headlights. 4 silver, 1 black, 1 blue.Assuming MSRP on the G35, this works out to around 6-10K over a well-equipped, rebate-enhance 2002 Maxima...worth it? only the test drive will tell.I found the insrument lighting quite good. It is lit up whenever theengine is running and has plenty of contrast. I dims automaticallywhen the headlights come on.
