Questions for owners of the G37
Did Infiniti correct the problems that were on many G35s?
1. Clutch - lots of complaints about the G35 clutch. Has the clutch chatter disappeared?
2. Does the gear shift still vibrate?
3. It's probably too early, but has anyone noticed the uneven tire wear that was so prevalent on many G35s?
4. The biggest problem that I had with my G35 was the exterior paint. It just wasn't durable, and it scratched quite easily. Is the paint on the G37 more durable?

The clutch is a huge improvement over the the G35. I test drove both the 5AT and 6MT and noticed a huge improvement. I think questions 3 and 4 are too early to know at this time. I'm kinda waiting for that dreaded tire roar once the car gets more miles on it. Hopefully Infiniti fixed that too.

I doubt the paint is any more durable but it may be a few more months before we get feedback from previous G owners of the new 37. It will be even longer before we'll know about the tire feathering. My guess is that will be corrected.

I have driven on my share of gravel roads already (don't ask) and took one solid rock shot to my hood that sounded like a bomb going off. It left the tiniest paint chip. My rockers and behind the wheels should have had some nice chips as well due to the gravel I was on (you know the kind with a little tar, so that the rocks stick to your tires and then "fling" up to your rockers).
Anyway, there are no chips of any sort where I expected to see them, so I am going to conclude that this is some pretty tough paint.
See all the crap I go through to test things out for you guys! You don't have to give it the gravel test now 'cause Uncle Chi has done that for you

The funny thing about that paint chip is it's like 3 inches from the edge of the Clear Bra.
The chip is tiny and all I gotta do is drop a couple small layers of touch up in there and it'll be all good. Really, tho, I think the paint is pretty tough.

i don't know. i hve put close to 2000 miles and got a nice rock scrap in my front bumper. I will get pics after i wash her. I get birds that poop daily on it. Quick detailer is no match.
Trust me, not happy.

My '05 G37's paint would scratch very easlily, so I had to take car when I washed and especially dried my car. On the other hand the paint on my wife's S4 could be abused and after three years, there wasn't a single scratch on her car. As a matter of fact she regularly took her car to automated car washes and never had a problem.
Other than that I had no real problems with my G aside from the gear shift vibrating at idle, and an occassional clutch chatter.
