Pros:
Engine, handling, manual transmission, exterior styling, interior
styling. The auto-down and auto-up feature on all four windows is great - so
are the rear windows that go all the way down, so rare. Also to a lesser
extent, the reclining backseats are cool. |
Cons:
1) TOO MANY RATTLES for a car this expensive. I have asked the dealer to
fix many of them, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
2) CD changer just sucks. It is soooo sloooow. Give me a single disk in-dash
and a changer in the trunk instead. Also, the stereo LED readout is poor.
And stop scrolling the names of songs on the radio, it's wrong 50% of the
time anyway. Would appreciate the ability to name the CD's in the changer so
I don't have to remember.
3) Minor - why does my wife's Altima S include some fairly basic luxury
items that my G35 does not for $10K more? a) Distance to empty reading, b) a
fuel door release (instead of having to stick my finger on the fuel door -
who wants fingerprints on their paint?)
4) The leather on my driver's seat showed wear within the first few months,
without excessive driving (about 1000 miles per month) and despite my
application of high quality leather cleaner / conditioner.
5) Minor - The remote doesn't work more than 10 feet or so from the vehicle. |
Review:
Have loved this car since I got it. Handling is great, power and
transmission are excellent. I like the 17" 5-spoke wheels that came standard
but the chrome 18" Acer wheels I have on there now are MUCH better. Besides,
the original G wheels made a nice upgrade for my wife's Altima.
Two years later I still love the styling, better than the '05 in fact. It
still handles great and except for the abundant rattles, I have no major
complaints. I would buy this car again. |
