Still love my G37X @10K miles

Just passed 10K in a little over a year (drive an SUV some of the time) and still love the G37X. When I first came to this site I thought that if you didn't modify the car significantly you were missing out on something, and I started out to do a handful of mods. However, I backed off of most of them and ended up just changing the wheels, getting a legal tint and adding the splash guards. For a long time I really wanted to find a way to buy the stock "S" wheels but didn't because for the AWD I need four of the same size, and lately I've come around to liking the ones I did buy even better, so it's all good.

Haven't had a hint of a problem other than one annoying little cabin rattle that only comes around once in a while and positively defies any attempt to locate its source, or even the area from which it's coming. The only thing I would do differently if I had it to do over again is not buy the tech package--don't like the adaptive cruise and could live without the moving headlights and special seatbelt. And I do wish Infiniti had gone with rain-sensing wipers in '09 instead of '10!

However, overall what a great car, looks great and just a blast to drive.

I'm still loving mine too. Almost 12k miles in 6 months, and I get excited every time I drive it. I've had two rattles fixed, and now I have another one that's started coming from the rear deck/trunk area. This is the most obnoxious rattle I've ever heard. It rattles none stop, smooth road or not. Need to head back to the dealer.

Same feelings with mine G37X, 5 month old/3500miles, not much mods just splashers and wider summer Michelin PilotSport P/S2 tires. Thinking about rear spoiler and legal tint also possibilities installing pedal shifters. Not much luck on good mods mechanics here in NJ, looking for someone who could do this all in one shot.
It is blast to drive and not much cabin rattle so far

I must enjoy mine more than the rest of you. 5,200 miles, picked her up on 2-18.

I love driving it. I get a little excited every time I walk up to it.

At 52K miles and I'm kinda bored of it. Love the look, too used to the power.

Either gonna sell it or go FI since everyone says that after you go FI its like a whole new car

If power is the issue, you're on a slippery slope! Everything will get old at some point.

I'm at 6 months and 8,400 miles. I don't have a single regret about purchasing the car and so far, not a single issue.

I like the car a lot, but I miss my qx56....especially the cargo space! This car has almost no trunk space.....or rear seat space....but it's so fun to drive.

Two completely different rides. I'm curious as two what changed to force the QX to G transition. (?) I have both, because I need both. Me and my girl decided to hit Costco after the gym a few weeks ago. It was like playing Tetris trying to fit everything (we also had our 6 yr old son with us). I swore, never again.

I like the size/height of the QX, but the G is so much more fun to drive.

I bought the qx for the snow after I sold my g35 coupe and when I saw the g37x coupe, I had to have it! The awd made it an easy decision for me. It just sucks when I have to load the car up since I can't anymore.

I bought my coupe for DD and haven't regretted it all. I take my friends everywhere, and every one of them has loved the ride. Oh and that rear deck rattle is the trunk liner smacking the trunk top, at least it is in mine. I just bought some Second Skin, I'll report back with the results.
