Infinities finest G37S
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Best new vehicle ever owned. Fit, trim, quality is A+++.
Power and accleration is exceptional and 6th speed on manual transmission makes the car glide like a Caddy at speeds in excess of 130mph.
Cons: Nothing bad to say about this new Infinity vehicle Overall: Looked at Porsche, Mercedes and BMW.
Have owned Bimmers and friends that owned Porsche's and Mercedes had recurring electrical and mechanical problems.
I wanted a car that was fun to drive and did not spend a lot of time in the shop.
So Far - outstanding in all categories. Thanks Infinity for putting fun...

#2
Luxury, Reliable, Affordable
Source: Cars.com

..."Purchased in 1995 brand new. 137,000 & looks and rides like new.
All scheduled maintenance work as dictated by owners manual and dealer.
Big and economical for a big car. I get 21 miles in the city and 29 in the highway.
A draw back is that the minimum octane is 89 but you have to own one to know that it is worth the gas price.
Dual air bags and when you ride in it you feel is hugs the road very steady and roomy and luxury ride. I recommend it."...

Great value, fun car.
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Great engine/transmission performance, stereo ROCKs,
the exhaust note sounds much better than my previos G35 6MT Sedan...also,
that braking system is WAY better than the previous generation Gs Cons: Vibrations in the doors from the 10 inch subwoofers in each door.
No automatic folding outside mirrors. Without the spoiler, chrome piece on trunck looks out of place.
Steering isn't as connected with the road as the previous generation. Overall: I'd buy this car again, and again ... the G is just the best product out there for the money!...

#5
Low, Wide, Sleek
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The exterior design is nice, wide, and a very low stance which is very sleek.
my car being black has very nice pearl to it even to this day.
Interior has a nice design, very comftorble. The motor packs a major punch compared to most other honda motors.
Cons: Major wiring problems in various places but nothing hard to fix NO FREAKING CUP HOLDERS Overall: Hard to find one in good condition but if you do its a great car...

#6
One beautiful car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: This car is one great driving car with its leather seats and all over styling Cons: on mine i have a paint chipped and a little rust and the trans shifts a little different.
Also the owner before wore out the rack and pinion. Overall: I cant wait to drive it after i get done typing this up for u guys and gals...

Infiniti lemon?
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Handeling, styling and comfort. Very comfortable ride over long distances.
Cons: Problems with electronics module and radio. So far over five months waiting for new radio replacement.
Also was told by dealer that this is a known problem and they are waiting for quite a few radios that other owners need replacing.
Was told by dealer that there is a nation wide backorder on radios for this model.
Overall: Vehicle handling and fun to drive factor good. Electronics poor. I will not consider buying another Infiniti...

#8
G37 is the way to go
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: just perfect for me.... price and value this is the best so far, I look at Gs350, Bmer, the new S5 Audi is too expensive.
Cons: its play everything from ipod to flash drive....
waht else???? lack of big flat screen tv and blueray dvd player or else I would live in my car Overall: if ur looking
!!! dont look any further BUY IT, great buy right now....
compare this to S5, 335I and Gs350 look at the prices with full option.
10k to 15k different darn u can buy another car with that money, get a H.Fit or scion Tc save u lots of mileage and wear&tear, dont u like to...

#9
Black Obsidian Rocket Ship
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Awesome styling inside and out. The technology on board is above the rest.
What you get for the money is truly astounding compared to other coupes in this category.
It looks agressive yet it's stylish, it look strong yet refined.
It is awesome. A good replacement for my Bimmer. Cons: Back seat is tight for anyone over 5'9".
Overall: Excellent car. So far very happy. Would highly recommend it to anyone. It gives you the most for your money. This is coming from a former Bimmer owner...

#10
Is it the Batmobile?
Source: MSN Autos

...I put this car in every curve I can find and never have an issue. Unlike the previous new cars I have owned (2004 Toyota Solar, 2001 Chevy Impala) I don't hear any shakes or rattles. And I constantly receive complents on how great my car looks inside and out. Cons: Having to put premieum gas in the tank, but I knew that going in. If you want to drive the best you have to put the best in the tank. Overall: This car was my gift to myself for "making it" in life. I am completely satisfied with my purchase, and if you can afford one, get it!...

Why should I also consider these?

The BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class are the perennial leaders in this segment.

Both come in a range of body styles and drivetrains, and both have ultimate-performance editions with the BMW M3 and the Benz C63.

The Infiniti G35 is a relative newcomer, but has impressive handling, perfect sport-sedan proportions, and available all-wheel drive.

It's also substantially less expensive than the German sedans.

 
2008 BMW 3-Series
The 2008 BMW 3-Series sedan has the best overall driving experience in its class and remains the gold standard among mid-size sport sedans.
