Pros:
AWD in Canada, performance (handling, acceleration), looks, the interior
on the 05 (03 & 04 were weak), FOB, actually everything. |
Cons:
Brake dust on the 03, not so bad on 05's. |
Review:
had a 03 Premium w/areo, now 05 x premium & waiting for the 07. Could
buy anything in the class after mt 03 but after looking comparing, driving,
for me I could not find anything better especially for the money. Now ready
to sell my 05 soon with 6,000 miles & getting the 07. Again I could go to
tohers but can't.
I have heard about some that rattles but never had an issue on either. In
fact the only thing I have eve taken my car in for was the 03 for brakes
under warranty, otherwise it has never been to a dealer (I do my own
maintenance), which I don't think you can do on a Bimmer? |

Pros:
Awesome handling and pickup. Looks amazing. Much more comfortable than
Jaguar and Audi |
Cons:
RATTLETRAP |
Review:
Awesome handling better than BMW, Audi, Jaguar. Much more comfortable
then all competitors. However my G35x is an absolute ratteltrap. Ever since
1,000miles every panel inside the car rattles. Dealer refuses to repair.
Trying to get rid of car now. |

Pros:
Performance, AWD, suspension and handling, Looks, Engine. |
Cons:
Transmission is geared too high, Rattles and Creaks (very real),
Interior is substandard, seats are great mind you. |
Review:
I have owned this car for EXACTLY 1 year to the day. So this is my 1
year, 30,000 km later review.
The most outstanding feature of the car has to be its styling and its
performance. For its class, I think it's at the top of the heap. Engine
performance is great, handling is as if the car were on rails. AWD combined
with Michelin Snow tires puts you behind the wheel of a tank in the winter
(Important in Toronto)
Dealer experience was very good. Sales was straight up, service is solid.
Room for Improvement:
1. Rattles and creaks. Several others have mentioned this fact and when I
was doing my research I read this too, but discounted them. Wrong. This car
does have MORE than its fair share of interior rattles and exterior creaks.
Problem is, they are not always there, so fixing is difficult. Interior is
less than it should be.
2. Automatic Transmission. Needs a 6 speed auto, or better yet, a manual
with the AWD. 5 speed is geared too low and on the highway at 120 kph (about
65 mph) she revs at around 3k. This is too high and uses more fuel with more
wear and tear. Very real issue. Sad to see the 2007 does not address this.
3. Needs an oil pressure gage (in my eyes, more important than
temperature gage) Also, a trip computer would be good.
4. Love the clock, but not a big fan of the gage cluster. It's ok, but
not what it should be. Strange strange location for the AWD over-ride switch
- almost at your ankle. Also, lower door panels scuff ridiculously easy.
Just touch it with your shoe = scuff. |

Pros:
Handles great...service is outstanding! |
Cons:
Haven't found any yet |
Review:
This is by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. I traded in a BMW and I
am so happy I did. The vehicle handles much better than the BWM I owned and
the service from Infiniti of Honolulu is so superior to what I received from
BMW of Honolulu. The staff at the dealership bends over backwards to help
me...they even offered to pick up and deliver my vehicle. |
