You can smell the arrogance through the monitor. That being said, I am considering a E30 or E36 as a track car lol

I own an 08 G37S Coupe. I purchased it in August of 2008. I've taken care of that car better than my girlfriends lol! Seriously have even cleaned the wheel wells and undercarriage. Waxed the paint every 6 weeks. Washed the car every single Saturday rain or shine and used Meguiars products for protection such as on the dash. My dash started cracking a couple years back and no f***ing Infiniti rep can tell me its from the sun because where my dash has cracked are in places where the sun barely reaches. There should of been a recall on replacing this like the famous bubble in the drivers seat. At least that I got replaced, but Infiniti never fixed that issue because the bubble is back. The cost to replace it is well over a thousand plus labor. I think Infiniti needs to honor anyone with the dash cracking issues to have it replaced at least for up to 10 years. Maybe not people who don't take care of there car or dash, but its obvious when you look at my car inside and out how mint condition she is.

Another issue with this car is if you buy a stick shift like I have the clutch system is weak. Been known to give issues. I even remember Diego of Vossen Wheels was left stuck in traffic when his broke after less than 1 year purchased. For a car this expensive some of these issues are why I wouldnt buy another. Don't get me wrong, I love my G! But I wouldn't buy an Inifinti again because of the way they handle complaints. Also to add the f***ing idiot marketing manager they had at Inifinti re-branding the car was one of the stupidest decisions in the history of all man kind. I work in Marketing and that guy is on my wall as a joke of Marketing. Funny how he left the company after changing the branding.

Another reason I would not buy an Infiniti again is the cost of parts are expensive, some are outrageously expensive. And some of those parts that are expensive cannot be found by any third party manufacturer, but only at the stealership. If you buy this car, fork out for an extended warranty.

Another reason is the new Infiniti coupes cost. Who the hell wants a 300 HP version. We all want the 400 HP version and those are about $55,000. **** might as well save up a few more thousand and get a Corvette. Down here in Miami they are at a dealership near me starting at literally $56,000.
And since we are on the American point, I'd say if you want a sports car with power at an affordable price, get a Camaro SS or mustang GT. They support a ton more of Mods and with less cost and more power.

My next car If I can afford it and if buying a sports car would be the Corvette. If not a sports car I think I'll go with the new Tesla Model 3.



My Car As is today

As for parts.. try buying parts for a Benz.. or having maint that you have to pay for, much more $$ in my experience. I agree, I would only buy the 400 HP version. The one advantage the Infiniti has over the Camara/Mustang is All Wheel Drive, can drive the car all year round where I live in Northeast with Snow. Sure you can drive the Camaro/Mustang.. but they are terrible in the snow, know matter what tires you use. Half the time they are blocking traffic, they are stuck in the snow going sideways.

The maintenance, like services or brake jobs.. far more $$ on the BWM/Benz, they will cost you. Performance matters, but have to look at the full picture, maintenance costs/reliability.. which G usually better in my experience of owning these cars over the years.

So far the maintenance on my BMW has been $0. If you intend on keeping a car far past the warranty period, then your numbers will vary.

Subaru's are like a glock 9mm--way too cheap for any idiot to be able to just go out and buy. All these guys modding their WRX since brand new and then complain that their cars value went down a couple grand over time...smdh they got the talk to back up their numbers they are capable cars but they don't have the wallet for the consequences.

But my gf had sound advise, would you want your clients seeing you get out of an evo/sti or a g37?

The newer sti's aren't nearly as boy racer, imo.
