Philadelphia:I've always wanted to get the G35/37. But i have been discouraged by the bad reviews i got from some people. Please tell me. Hows the interior quality and whats the difference in fuel economy and maintenance requirements compared to 08Es350/Gs350 and 09 TL? |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by kingreign(m): 9:14am On Aug 29, 2021 |
Afiliatelord: If fuel economy is your priority then pls avoid G35/37, TL, GS350. You'd cry and be disappointed. Those things aren't merciful with fuel. Infact avoid V6 since you're talking about fuel economy. That Lexus ES350 you also mentioned consume more fuel than regular 4 Cylinders. Stick with your yaris or Suzuki or whatever! Maintenance doesn't come cheap either. Parts aren't common on the G35/37, Gs350 and TL. They're not your everyday regular cars. These are premium sport sedans. I come in peace! |

kingreign:If you observed my post, you should have noticed that they are all V6s. What I'm asking is the difference in fuel consumption cuz i heard g35/g37 are way much more. Are we saying like twice or thrice the consumption of TL and es350/gs350? Same with maintenance headaches. Also how hard is it shipping parts when needed. Thank you |

Afiliatelord: No body talks big V6 3,500cc (min.) with 250+ hp, 250+ib.ft, and kerb mass of 3500+ ibs and talk fuel economy. What folks talk is refinement, acceleration ease of repairs and agility when they talk about such engines. 1 Like |

Afiliatelord: What “bad reviews” do you get and from who? The G35/37 continually receive great reviews from users in Canada and US and I’m sure you can guess why? Maintenance culture. If you’re getting reviews from those users in Nigeria that never scan their cars or swim in a pool of water or use Conoil to service their G35/G37, then I have no comment to make. By the way, listen to what kingreign said about fuel economy and parts. I’m loving my G35X daily. |

kingreign: Absolutely, no one does. You can’t eat your cake and have it. If you want a v6 with a balance of fuel economy, then get e Lexus IS250 or G25X and relax. You can even get an i4 and let us have peace. |

kingreign: When I bought the car I thought it was the g35x .. I didn't know it was a g25x .. I didn't know even know Infiniti even made g25x...... Plz read it again...... And when I mean turbo . I mean the deep sound the exhaust makes when u start the start the car or when u step on the gas to fast ....... Now the G25x is very light compare to other fast cars have driven .. The handling of the car on top fast is no so good... .. The car starts to shake a bit and I don't feel am in full control ...... And the g35 or g37 has a better handling and much heavier on the road....... Now my old Nissan Altima ser was heavier and has more of a sport drive mode... I feel more in control on top speed.. It has 260hp compare with g25x of about 220hp ......now compare that with g35 or g37 with 300hp........ The g25x sucks in that speed category. Poor handling..... |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 1:12pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Philadelphia: I envy you my Nissan Altima Ser was a joy to drive daily.. That car was fast and I first bought it it came with summer tires with stock 17in wheels.. It was fun to drive ....i use to race the g35x on the road.. Those g35 guys will just look me and drive pass by with ease......... And the g35 are easy car to maintain ....very easy and cheap to maintain...... |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by kingreign(m): 1:14pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
dru23: There's obviously something wrong with that specimen you got. G25x shares parts with its bigger, faster siblings which which are very stable and feels very planted and has very near perfect weight distribution. The only thing that is lighter is the engine and I think give and take, its no more than 50kg. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 1:28pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
kingreign: Lol...... That car my brother ... There was nothing wrong my brother.. Nothing to fix when I bought no check engine light.. Nothing at all ...... The car was clean as a whistle.. It pass inspection with flying colors........ The car was dealer trade in ... Dealer sticker was still on it. Maintain by the dealer..no single scratch on the car...no rust at all ...... I didn't believe I was even going to get the car that is to show you how clean the car was......it drives well in the snow...nice car .. But na 218hp ... I went from driving 260hp to 218hp .. Am going backwards now .. Think am https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrASou34I_w Below is how my Nissan ser look like ..mine was black . it was fun to drive.. I got lots of compliment..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5XolOhZ9xI |

Afiliatelord: Plz get it don't be discourage. Those cars are easy to maintain.... Very fun to drive.. The samething people said about the Fx models...... People don't know how to maintain cars .. That is there major problem......people want cars that they can easily abuse like Toyota .......the interior of the g35 is very nice .. I like it alot.. The seats are very comfortable

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Afiliatelord: 1:49pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
dru23:I'm not really discouraged though. Just trying to increase my budget for the 2010 g37 as i heard its more reliable than 2008 G35hr. I'm more concerned about how parts sourcing will be for 2010 G37 compared to 2008 g35 and diffence in cost of parts and maintenance |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Afiliatelord: 2:01pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Philadelphia:The bad reviews i meant aren't more of drive quality and mechanical problems. That's why i specified "interior quality". I heard the interior is made of cheap materials that gets bad in no time. How true is that? For the fuel economy. You guys are totally misunderstanding me. I am not concerned about fuel economy as i know very well that V6 consumes alot. I am only comparing the V6 of G35/37 to its competitiors |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 2:12pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Afiliatelord: It is low maintenance luxury car .. If you have the money to buy it .. You should have the money to maintain and source for the parts...... If you take good care of it . you wouldn't have to change parts that much .. And I also imports things like engine oil . parts etc .. You can also hit me up if u need parts...... Below is a for a customer

dru23:Alright I'd up my budget and get the G37 hopefully early next year. I love the looks more Thanks boss |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 3:09pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
dru23:I get your point. The G35 comes with 306hp and the G37 with 330hp. Coming from your particular Nissan to your G25X will definitely affect your driving because of your love for speed. So, I totally get it when you talk about the weight, speed, acceleration and exhaust note. To compensate for this, I suggest you get a G37XS if you can. By the way, all you think you lost in terms of performance on the G25X, you surely have them in beauty, aesthetics and attention. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 3:14pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
dru23: This has become my custom when those GLK350 guys, ES350, C350 guys want to fool themselves. One guy using a 2005 Corolla S or so wanted to hear the exhaust note of my car. So, I gave him more than that and kept him like 100m at my back then later allowed him to get close enough to at least get a name to remember and research on when he gets home. I don’t even want to mention those guys driving Toyota Sienna or maybe 2008/2009. Well, I’ve only chosen to let the “little children play” while I enjoy my BOSE speakers and 6 CD changers 6 Likes |

Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Philadelphia: 3:21pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Afiliatelord: For a Japanese, I can tell you that the interior build including leather, steering, gear knob, sound system and infotainment of the 2008 Infiniti G35X beats those you’ll find in a Lexus ES350 of same year as well as the Acura TL and Mercedes C350 of same year. You definitely didn’t hear well. |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 3:42pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Philadelphia: Those corolla guys are funny very funny bunch laugh wan kill me ....... I recall racing with my Nissan Altima Ser with a G35.. So I saw the guy on the highway and pull up next to him...... The guy waved his hand and said bye bye and drove off with speed.. I couldn't catch up to the guy I didn't even see the guy........ That hand wave bye bye was embarrassing ... And the guy zoom off . The bose system is to die for .. very nice system... My ser had them but my g25x no get bose system.... |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 3:46pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Philadelphia: Yes o.. Am looking for a red 1 with black leather seats |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by kingreign(m): 4:52pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
dru23: You bought the unit that didn't come with the optional BOSE system. My BOSE system far trumps my Lexus system by miles..... |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by dru23(m): 5:07pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
kingreign: The g25x is a step down from g35.. So it wouldn't come with 1 or 2 things with the bell and whistle of a g35.... And Bose are top notch of stereo system for cars and home system.. They are expensive too....either way it is a top notch system to get ...... Beats by Dre .. Were trying to do that for some cars.. I don't think it went well ... Good marketing strategy .. But I don't think people went crazy for it |
Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Afiliatelord: 5:38pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
Philadelphia:Alright sir.. i get your point. How about the premium fuel issue. Will there be any issue using our regular fuel for a long period? |
