I have a G37x 2009 it's a pleasure to start it every morning, and for snow condition no comment get out from parking spot like nothing. I live in Canada so it's my best choice for driving every day.
Bought an ‘07 G35S (affectionately named “Fin”) a few years back with most all the bells and whistles and absolutely love it! I’ve topped 147 racing it and have to say your video is spot on - coming from Toyota/Lexus over to Infiniti was the best thing I could’ve done because it’s definitely the perfect balance of lux/sport/comfort/reliability as hard as I push it behind the wheel. - Great video!
spectech73 Damn I’ve been wanting to get one so bad trying to save money for it and i got to say your son is really lucky I’m 18 myself and how I wish my mom could get me one but it’s whatever I still appreciate her and what she does for me I’ll see my sled in one soon
@@rogelioperez713 I passed my 2007 G35S to my 19 year old son last summer. I installed PSS10, Eibach swaybars, stainless brake lines, light weight pulley, many chassis braces, etc on it. Two years ago it still ran 0-60 in 5.07 second. My 2017 GSF ran in 4.93 at the same location. Guess what... My son is not a car guy. So he only drives it for less than 2K a year. LIFE IS STRANGE!!!
@@donaldlin586 i swear its always the total opposite. I wish my dad wouldve had a nice luxury sports sedan that he passed down to me and modded it up to have that kind of power. Whats the point in givin someone a practically fully modded car and have them not even use it like it supposed to be used.
Love my 2015 Q40 with 45k miles on it. I bought it 3/18 and now it is 12/18. I have driven it about 18k miles and am averaging 25-26mpg. I drive about 6 hrs of highway and 3 hrs of secondaries every week. Being in sales, this is more my office than my car. I love everything about it and I'm in it at least 10 hrs per week...many times just idling and making calls or doing laptop work. The performance is great and I love the way the engine sounds! It is fantastic in the snow even with all seasons. With winter tires it would be a friggen sled.
Got a used Q40 last summer for 15k. My decision was between this and a camry v6 (which cost more). This video was a good push. Incredible car. AWD, incredible design (especially the tailights), I love the fog lights, 3.7 sounds roary and muscle like, and the RWD bias handling. Hydraulic power steering is intoxicating. The driving feels raw overall. The bose sound system is the best I've heard in any car I've been in. In addition the simple infotainment design. Knobs, choice between touchscreen and rotary controls, cup holders without USBs or outlets in them to be soaked (like BMWs and Audis do today). I literally can't think of a better buy. It checks all the boxes for me. In addition it's made in japan and these are reliable as hell being naturally aspirated and having traditional torque converted automatic. To this day I watch tons of car videos and then get in this and instantly forget everything and fall in love.
Purchased a 2013 G37x last November; partially based on this video. Absolutely love it! Sounds incredible when revving, yet very quiet when idling. Very comfortable, stylish, great stereo, and like you said, very fun to drive! Plus, the AWD is effective in MN winter (which was bad last year lol)
I have a 2011 G37x sedan with 132,000 miles. I know the mileage is high but I got it for 9k with a great service history. I've had it for about 6 months and have not had a single issue. It's so fast however the gas mileage is not great. But it's definitely worth every penny once you hit that start button. The startup sound is intoxicating
you are spot on with that gas mileage. i've had mine 3 months and 19 miles/gallon is the single only thing i could possibly complain about. but i'm fine with it. it takes a lot of fuel to make that much POWA!
Try driving slower to get better MPG (so hard in this car 😂). I get 35MPG+ when I set the cruise at 60-65. But when I come to a stop or entering the freeway, it’s way too fun to open it up with the 3.7!!
I purchased a 2013 G37x for my 50th birthday. In 2017 when I purchased it, it had 10,800 miles (still like New) and its the best car I have ever purchased (my 3rd Infiniti).
Thanks for posting this video. I have a 2013 G37xS. I have been following the factory maintenance schedule since I bought it. Hopefully it will last. So far it has a little bit over 50k on it. I live in New England and I always put a set of winter tires on it before thanksgiving every year. Happy motoring!
I have a 2009 G37x that I bought in 2015 with 146,000 miles on it at the time. It now has 185,500 and it still fires up every day and runs great. I have done all three maintenance on schedule and believe me it is an amazing car. The only thing that has happened is a rubber collect hose started to leak. The check engine light has never been on. In the future I would consider a newer one with less miles. Also it is a beast in the snow
Got a 14 Q60 IPL in graphite shadow and I absolutely love this vehicle! Great power and handling. Had it 6 months and no issues yet. Goes in for 60k checkup on Monday. And I don’t worry about gas mileage, lol. I love rippin this thing.
Great Cars! I got my 2008 G35XS new and when my wife had to replace her car, we chose a CPO 2013 G37X, since I know the car inside and out. Highly reliable, just not great on gas mileage, but I am able achieve EPA highway ratings on the open highway in suburban NJ. I think this generation 07-14 G3x/Q40 looks better than the Q50 series of cars.
My mother had one (before getting QX60) and I absolutely loved it. What stunned me was the handling and suspension that made turning a joy. Still can't believe this is luxury handling. Right now considering getting used one with 20-30k miles. They all go for around 15k where I live at (NYC).
Getting one this weekend. 2010 G37x coupe. Obviously has the AWD that kicks in with bad conditions. Only 50k on it. One owner. Serviced it's entire life by an Infinti dealer. Pretty excited
I got 2 2015 Q40/ Gray and White/ and I love them like I love my mama. Men these cars are a beast, fun to drive all in all very reliable. Put 20’ Boss sports series 327 rims with reflective sports decal. What a beauty what a beauty what a car....
Finally found a 2011 G37 from a dealer 2 weeks ago. Bought it and now it’s being returned for the dealer not disclosing the prior owner gutting the whole car underneath due to an air ride system. These cars are great if they are factory maintained.
I just purchase a 2008 G35. Was not really looking for one as it was a bargain because of some minor body work that needed done. After driving it over the last week...this is one of the nicest cars I have ever drove. The rear wheel drive and smooth motor is awesome. With 130K it runs great with no issues. I am a fan and looking to pick up another one.
Spent the better part of a year shopping around for a 2013 g37x back in 2015/2016. Nailed a deal on a car that had 3000 miles on it. Originally 32000 down to 24000. Loved that car. Until 3 Saturdays ago when a distracted driver on a highway decided to rear end me. Total loss. Currently on the search for the same kind of car but it's tough right now to find of that year that doesn't look beat to shit. Congrats on a wonderful piece of hardware you got.
My top 10 when I had my G37 1. The engine 2. The engine 3. The engine 4. The engine 5. The engine 6. The engine 7. The engine 8. The engine 9. The engine 10. The engine
Nice video. As the owner of 2 G35x's, and 2 G37x's (over the years) Id like to point out some big points you missed. Mainly the comfort. Its not great. Short drives are OK but the seats are absolutely rock hard, and they get worse in the winter. I know this could be a deal breaker. And to me the comfort is so bad it negates all the positives. Now this discomfort was not always there. It seems to have gotten worse, my G35s were ok. But now with roads so torn up and only getting worse im gonna have to let go of the G (or Q40) On a cold winter night they basically ride like a freight train. And every single G I have owned has never gotten super hot in the winter (The temperature control) I recently had a Q50 loaner for the day. They listened to all the complaints about the G series and fixed them. Less road noise. Seats that actually have cushion. The ride is more supple and the handling was still great.
I have a 2013 G37x sedan with nav, bought it with 38k miles in Oct. 2016 for $20k with a CPO warranty. It's a great drivers' car, and very nice inside too, a good deal for the money. I live in Chicago and the AWD helps a lot in snow. Here it is Sept of 2018 and I have not had ANY problems with it, it remains a wonderful car. Still makes me smile every time I drive it.
@@GregMuniz7 , I'm this close to trading it in for a Toyota Tacoma 4×4 but i cant do it, i will keep it because it's fun and buy a used 2004 Tacoma next year cash as my daily driver.
I have a 2010 G37x Sedan, w/155,000 miles, bought it with 50K, had no issues. Recently had ECM updated, transmission shifts smoother, also had spark plugs replaced. Other than that, no problems with, standard maintenance, synthetic oil, brakes, tires, etc...
@@viciousvq1824 I need the awd because I live in mass. So snows a lot in the winter. I'm only thinking about the g because it's half the price of the q lol. Idc about the new screen really I'm a performance guy but I do like the outside more on the q... and I'll sub 👊
@@AIKINGBTC Thanks, They're Identical if you get the 3.7L Q50. The G37 is leaned more towards Performance and the Q50 is more Refined & Comfortable. It'll haul ass too don't get me wrong.
If you buying this car, you better not be complaining about gas mileage. The car eats gas, but it's also got a ton of power. It's the gear ratios that give the car bad gas mileage in the city. The HR engines are rock solid though. I would buy another one but I think I need an electric car now.
I have a 2011 G37 sedan and I bought it not knowing the flywheel was cracked drove just fine for 2 months then today it finally broke...just know if you buy one of these USED it’s probably been beat on so check everything throughly and they burn oil pretty fast besides that they’re great cars ! ( Also sounds great straight piped like mine)
Great video. Your assessments are right on. I have a 2013 G37xS. This car is actually called Nissan Skyline in Japan. Skyline is a heritage model in Nissan. It has a lot of racing history behind this name. It is a sport car in disguise for mass consumption:)
I have two g37s 2010coupe and 2011 sedan for the family & love both awd in New York no fear! Right on you’ll be able con conquer any challenges ahead with those babies!
I am selling my 2005 G35 currently with 225k miles. It still has YEARS TO GO. I am waiting to sell it to stack the cash on top my savings to buy this Q40.
That's a real commitment to your RU-vid channel. Getting pulled over by the cops! In the market for a new car but what Nissan is putting out these days leaves much to be desired. In Hawaii, there’s a whole car community dedicated to the ‘G.’ That got me curious. The more research I do into Nissan's luxury badge, Infiniti, and its ‘G’ model, the more I want one. Thanks for a great top 10 reasons!
Best car I've ever owned (2013 4d, awd). Put 118k miles with no major repairs. My previous car was an 07' 335i which was more fun to drive but was broken ALL the time. This thing is a tank. It's not "great" at anything...but it's "good" at everything so its just an awesome value. Would buy another one tomorrow if I had to.
Nice 👍🏼 video and good job, I love this car it’s really practical for a family. The only thing I wish they changed is the fuel ⛽️ type to Reg 87, instead of the premium fuel. Currently in the Northeast of US we’re paying about $3.25 a gallon , but a bit of a month ago prices were $3.60 a gallon.
Someone did a hit and run on my 2011 G37x while parked in front of my house last week, I had it for 4 years, it's totaled so I'm looking at the Q40. I don't need AWD where I live, but I buy it with AWD anyways because if just feels better, even in the little bit of rain we get here. My only gripe with this car is that the back seats don't fold down. I used to have Subaru's and I was able to buy a wall heater at home depot, fold my back seats down and bring it home. Everything else is perfect on the car. I lowered mine, put some low profile tires. wheels and springs and it handled like a dream. I'm looking at buying another in the next week or two, I've never bought the same car back to back, but I'm in love with this body style as I feel it's timeless. They're not too expensive but they look and feel so luxurious.
Sorry to hear, that sucks! They definitely are a good value. In my opinion, these cars offer way more for the same price or less than cars like Accords. Good luck on your search.
I have owned an I35, G35, G37S (AWD) and now a Q50S (AWD) all over the last 18 years. The latest ... a Q50S is the best (3L twin Turbo). As for mileage… just piled on about 400 highway miles last weekend and averaged about 37MPG (Imperial gallons … I live in Canada) which translates to about 31 MPG US. That’s as good as or better than any 3.0L - 3.5L BMW or Mercedes. Comparing the Infiniti to either BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, or any top end US make… Infiniti wins hands down. It’s the engine and quality of build that do it for Infiniti. My brother in Calif. has a 12-year-old G35 (100,000 miles) and that car is as solid as it was when new. BMW Audi or Mercedes will drive you to the poor house with maintenance and repair expenses.
I have to disagree with the handling on the G37x sedan! My old G35x sedan handles a lot better than the G37x. After buying the G37X sedan, driving at 70 mph and doing lane change, their is to much body roll, I had no confidence in the car, I was very sad that the newer car was worst in handling than the older car. So after spending over 2k for F/R stabilizer bars, Swifts lowering springs, Cusco strut brace, and summer tires, the car now handles very nice and fun to drive again! I had a BMW M3 and this sedan now handles like 80% of the M3!
D • 9 totally agree, I know this is an old post but I own one and I do like it but 80 , 90 mph its froggy as heck. Very shakey and spooky, you better not move the steering will that much because it will go.
Thanks for the info. I've been doing a mind-numbing amount of research and I've finally decided to purchase either an EX37 or G37x in the coming months depending on availability, mileage and $$$. These may actually be my perfect car when all is said and done, the EX37 has everything I want in a car, but I wouldn't be upset to wind up with a G series...
The EX37 would be nice if you are looking for a bit more room as it a crossover/SUV type of vehicle. The G37/Q40 does not have the biggest trunk space. There is enough room for groceries, but for bigger items it's my wife's Highlander. Both G37 and EX37 are similar and are a blast to drive. Good luck.
Why am I here when I drive a 2014 Nissan Altima? Well it’s relatively fast for a 4 cylinder. 0-60 in 7.6 seconds for a 183 ponies car is actually 👌🏼 but that’s CVT transmission is NOT it.
I have a BMW M3 and the Infiniti G37 and I like the Infiniti better as an overall daily drive. BMW M3 gets too much attention and people think you are richer than you are. I have a 2009 Infiniti G 37 styling is so great and its fun to drive and looks way more expensive than the car is. Lot of people think it looks like the new BMW 5 series.
I bought a 2010 G37x coupe which is about 100 pounds heavier believe it or not. Your sedan would actually beat my coupe by a car length or so. I LOVE THIS CAR. Perfect car. Looks great. Does 0-60 in about 5.6 in the coupe.
I have a 2012 G37x. Love the power and the handling. The auto transmission could feel like it is trying to search for the right gear at times. No issues in the Canadian winters with its awd. I have added an after market exhaust and 255 summer wheels. Wondering if anyone have gotten their G37 tuned for increase power and improved transmission performance? All in all...... a great car!
About to pick up a 2010 G37x with 30k miles. I had a 07 G35, and fell in love, so I can't wait to grab this one. And I can attest..I have had Volvos, Saabs, and an Audi. This car is almost bulletproof. The reliability and value is second to NONE
Your gonna to find out the G37X handling is terrible from the G35X, you will need to spend some money at least on the Stabilizer bars for fewer body rolls and lower the car for better handling!
I was going to buy a g37 but the ones I kept finding were either to expensive or in bad shape with high miles. The ones with low miles were close to $18000 and up. So I found a 2008 g35 sedan with 32k miles pristine condition. Car is amazing
In my case, I am so happy that God gave me a Infiniti with the VQ37VHR engine. This engine sound is amazing, also it is reliable, durable, well known and fast. And the car itself has a great sound system and excellent quality materials and style for the price. All my cars have been from japan, and I like the fact that they share parts (as Infiniti with Nissan) and as my previous car, they are also easy to mantain. They are easy to sell, the next buyer knows he is buying a durable car. Everytime I drive this car with this engine VQ37, I enjoy it so much. 😍
I have to disagree. 1) not as fun to drive unless you have a manual, the automatic doesn’t know what gear to be in and the manual mode takes a full second to shift to the desired gear. 2) Interior doesn’t last. 3) Very heavy car 4) good power but low torque 5) Limited fun factor because of 1 & 3.
ITSATRAP ! G37 S model is harsh but the regular g37 or Q40 with the 17 inch wheels are very smooth and handling is very good . The G is a driver's car and you feel very connected to the road . I've had mine for 3 years and I love this car . The interior is very nice. You might be able to tell the improvements over the G35 with the tan seats.
My ride quality was actually great. I live on a very bumpy highway in the country. I owned a Camry SE (Sport Edition) once and it was so rough I sold the car. The Q40 handles well, and absorbs the bumps much better. And you can push it in the corners. Also, the contour of the seat fit like a glove and held me in well around the curves. Just my two cents.
A DRANKKK I've had my 2012 g37 sedan for 3 years with long commute . 139000 miles later and I've only had to change out the cats . Factory cats went bad . Car is fast as new and no other issues . If you don't live in the snow get the non x model.
The G37 has 22 more horse power but it weighs almost 200 pounds more than the g35 and it’s more expensive even though it’s basically the same car except for the engine. Infiniti’s 2nd and 3rd generation shares the same chassis V36 .
Bought my 2008 G37 Coupe Sport way back in 2010 used and it's given me so many problems. I suspect that there were already existing issues that the dealer hid. That said, I still love my car.
Get the nav package for bluetooth capabilities besides using the phone. It's unfortunate that many reviews don't talk about this. Oh yea, and the USB only supports Apple, not Android. I have a 2013 G37x
It's an option and it's not on all the time which is nice. Just kicks in on bad road conditions. Other times in regular conditions, all the power goes to the rear.
I have a 2009 g37 with 8 gears. He probably didn’t know that cuz he’s never really floored the car. Allegedly my cars top speed is 145. Definitely a blast to drive. Also guzzles premium gas.
None of the g37 came with 8 gears. It was either a 6 speed manual, 5 speed automatic or 7 speed automatic. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trans_Gear_Ratios.jpg
Wanna see the other side of the coin beyond this fantasy sales pitch? Watch Scotty Kilmer "I can't save this car". It's about how expensive it is to make repairs on the G37. You have the cats going out @ $2000 each, steering fluid hose for a few hundred, Galley Gasket at a few thousand and other things you have to plan on failing who knows when. All Ok if you got a few thousand to throw at it hoping it will stick. Bulletproof my rear! Where do they get the idea?
snoozinatthetop I just bought a 2015 q40 with 84,000 miles yesterday. I paid 10,900. Do a thorough test drive and get a pre purchase inspection. Mine has impeccable service records and was garage kept. I’m already in love with the car. Just feels solid and it’s fast as hell. I also chose a q40 over q50 because those have issues with their drive by wire steering. Also the q40 is a Z disguised as a family sedan. This video and the comments were helpful in my decision to purchase this car,
its about the speed. i have one. you easily get 30 mpg on the highway with a featherfoot but only about 16 in city if you are driving spiritedly. the car doesnt like city traffic, it likes moving always, just the way it is.
Depends on if you're getting the Q50 with the VQ37 or the VR30 engine. The VQ has proven it's reliability, the VR has yet to do that, but since Nissan has been doing twin turbos since the GTR first came out I'm sure the VR30 is reliable as well.
