all infinitis have soft paint... the 09's have self healing paint but i don't know how well it works... maybe someone that has one will chime in

the tranny problem is prevalent... but that doesn't mean 09's won't have tranny problems either

Ahhh yes that makes sense.. i guess i'll just go with whatever i get the better deal in... which most likely would be the 08. Well i really Enter text here.appericate the help.. Im sure if i asked the dealer i would basically just get BS from them....

the 7AT is faster than the 5AT.. the REST ARE THE SAME!!

so if u want to be "a tad" faster.. go with 09. if u dont care.. get 08 for a sick a$$ deal!

edit: self healing paint or not.. doesnt really matter imo lol

We got the 08 because the 7 speed felt like a dog compared to the 5 speed. On paper the 7 speed is faster. Go out and test drive the two different years at the same time. We wanted to get an 09 (far easier to get the options she wanted), but after a number of test drives no question.
