the evo x was around 6 MPG on the time attack courses. LOL

people think little 4 bangers are great on gas but thats not always the case,

i really do miss the preformance and handling of my old evo x but i really do enjoy the luxury of the new g37

The G to me seems like so much more then a DD, and where I am from - its total luxury!! Columbus, Ohio. In this town your lucky if you ever see a jaguar, aston martin, lambo, or ferrari. This town your high class if u got a infinti (G coupe is the prettiest), BMW (usually the ones I see are OLD - not a M3!), Merc (again OLD, though I did see a CL63 AMG some doctor was driving and my jaw dropped), or a Caddy (Doh!!). Everyone else is driving 10 yr old Ford Taurus's with different colored body panels and dents!!!!!

Hehe .... same where I live (maybe not that bad) but we have some BMW's, Audi's and Mercede's but they are ho-hum models .... the G is a rarity and always get's looks. Had to go to Long Island earlier this year and Infiniti's were everywhere.

Camaros, Mustangs, and Vettes are the norm around here. Everyone always told me to get one of those so I could go fast for cheaper. I would rather be slower but look much different than everyone else.

$300+ a week on gas?? Are you sure you didn't have a leak in your fuel pump? Or are you driving like 1500 miles a week? I say shenanigans.

Did you not test drive the car before buying?

i drive about 160-200 miles a day to and from work so you do the math. I know have a celica which only cost me $45 to fill up and gets me 450+ miles a tank compare to $75 to fill up and only gets me 380ish miles a tank with the G. Also i actually like the celica much more than the G. The seats are much more comfortable and relaxing(im not old either, still in my 20's)

I see G's everywhere, just my block alone theres about 5 of them. Sad to say G is now the new civic. Worst of all a used G(g35) sell for the same as a used civic if not less.

i agree, i got sick and tired of that, was an issue in my 350z, G35 and G37. You would think Infinit would have the brains to fixed the issue but nope. Also for a $45k car, you would think they would use better leather in the seats(seat bubble issues). Don't think i will be buying another Infiniti/Nissan vehicle.

Just got to drive a 335i sedan again and my god. Seems like I am falling towards the dark side. The car got a HUGE HUGE HUGE upgrades on the interior. The navi screens comes out from the dash when you turn on the car. Power is still there (rapes the G any day of the week), fuel mileage is still great. Was a averaging about 28 mphs going 70 on the highway.

Right now BMW is the best bang for the buck. 50K (which is only 10k more) you get 2 or 3 times better interior, better performance, better leather.


After that got back into my G and was like my G is a POS compared to that car.

Then why do you even waste time on this forum?

just because i don't own one doesn't mean i can't be here. I'm sure others who used to own one still visit this site to see what's new every so often.
