i had my coupe for 2 years, 28k miles. im quite aware of the value it offers, no need to preach.

you dont call constant rattling/creaks/groans from your interior nagging assembly problems? sure they didnt cost me $ to get fixed, but it cost me time. i brought it back to the dealer six times to get the following probs fixed: headliner rattle, rearview mirror rattle, ticking from the dashboard and gauge cluster, creaking from the roof and c-pillar, rear parcel shelf rattle, grease streaks on the windows, squeaky clutch, and passenger side window regulator failure (twice). the sad part is that most of the problems came back. the number of topics on freshalloy and g35driver say i'm not the only one who has had these problems. in fact, i bet there's a current thread on rattles on the very first page.

add these annoyances to a clunky shifter, transmission that sounds like it has marbles in it at idle, cement mixer gear whine, cheap interior materials, and tire cupping even after an alignment, and i was one frustrated owner. not what i expected for $35k. im not an anal car owner, and understand by nature nothing is perfect. but compound all the issues i had with the G, and i reached the point where i didn't want to make payments on something i didnt love.

i'm happy your G35 has been trouble free, but there's a lot of owners who aren't so lucky.


btw the words "bose system" and "good stereo" should never be used in the same sentence.
