2003 Infiniti G35 sports coupe review from North America
"Good value for performance, poor value for dealer and manufacture service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires hum
creaks
rattles.
General comments?
Vehicle has excellent acceleration
and handling. Braking is superior
because of the Brembo brakes. The
center interior counsel is a cheesy
plastic that needs to be improved with
authentic brushed aluminum. Lastly,
Infiniti will not do anything about
the tires humming at 6K miles, due to poor factory alignment. So, I am on
the hook for $1000.00 in tires. However, in Motorweek's TV show, 12K follow up evaluation in 1/04, the 350Z had the same problem, and Nissan replaced those. I guess they take care of their advertisers, but not their purchasers. Sad case of consumer relations.
