That is because LIKE >>> DISLIKE. There is no such thing as perfect car and hence complaints are expected.

 

When I was thinking of getting a new car, the ones I considered were the 335i, Audi,CTS and the G37.
The fact that the G37 was less money had no impact on my decision.
I picked the G37 sedan because it fit my needs, handled well, was fast, big enough for my trips with luggage, without being too big and it was reliable.
I realize the G37 isn't the fastest,best handling, etc. car I could have bought, but the complete package was just right for my needs.

Likes: I have a 2011 g37 and love the body styling, wheels, breaks, engine, paddle shifters, nav system, How it feel & drives, I actually like the leather seating, and I don't see any hard plastic on mine that others keep complaining about. There is no more hard plastic than there is on any other car in its class. I also love the transmission and don't see any issues there either. I traded in my 2001 bmw 325i that I had pampered for 10 years. I loved that car too, but the G just gave me more for my money this year. I will say that the G barrels up steep hills with the HP advantage it has over my 325, and I like the reliability and service at Infiniti.

Dislikes: Flimsy overhead sunglasses compartment that's better for holding toothpicks since its too small to hold eyeglasses, and why is there fuzzy velvet lining inside the ashtray? I don't smoke, but I doubt its flame proof.
Rear center arm rest folds down with a crummy cupholder that has exposed cheapo flat head screws. Take a look from the top of the rear cup-holder,... see the two large exposed philips flathead screw heads?? That's a no no in the design world, just sayin. Also dislike the non maintenance free battery, poor paint quality, and shiny plastic around the windows.

Let me digress for second and say that I much prefered the reliability of the body of the BMW over the G. I already have scratches, windshield chip, and road rash that took 10 years to get on my 325. However the engine on my bimmer was another story... I had all the overheating, oil leaks, failed window regulators, $2k per year to fix issues.

 

'12 G37xS Sedan

Like: 4doors, great power, AWD, bluetooth streaming audio, nav, reliability
Dislike: The change made to the rear bumper on the '10+ sedans. no more audio/video RCA inputs

 

I had a 335 and I'd say that maybe 10 years ago all paint was "better" I've had just about all makes and the paint chips the same. My 335 I had a clear bra on the front and you can see the damage on that.

 

The fact that my 07 does not have ipod controls!

 

Likes: reliability, driving dynamics, power, AWD in bad weather, push button start. comfortable seat and driving position

Dislikes: interior build quality (various squeaks and unresolved back deck rattles), road noise, overpriced dealer service and frequent service intervals, too much orange peel in paint.

 

I wonder how much harsher the G37x rides compared to the G37 non-sport with 17" tires.
I have no squeaks or rattles and there was only one state that I drove in that had a few hundred or less miles that I experienced road noise from the tires. I think it was Ohio.

How often are your service intervals? I would think living in Wichita,KS, where I lived for quite a few years, you should fall under regular driving conditions.
The dealerships try to dupe everyone into the severe schedule and way too often other services. Read your owner's manual and follow it's recommendation.
The key word regarding the severe schedule is if you"PRIMARILY" drive under certain conditions.
