#369 of 398 Re: vs. TL Type S [drwilsc] by sjaieve Jun 29, 2008 (6:58 am)
Replying to: drwilsc (Jun 28, 2008 6:31 pm) If you follow my posts, I have always maintained the 335i is overpriced. I like getting a fully loaded car, the 335i is around 50k fully loaded. The only reason for this is BMW does not have the same economies of scale as its Japanes competitors, add the strength of the Euro and you get the steep price people are willing to pay for the 335i. I for one am not giving anyone any extra money for their cost ineffectiveness.   I do agree with you, getting smoked by someone who paid more for his car is a non event for me as well. What I like about the G is it dusts everything thats cheaper and some more expensive cars, A4 V6, C350, A6s, E350s, 528i, the list is endless.   Enjoy your G, just drive with the VDC off

By the time that TL engine really ready to go, you're already at 60 mph. On the other hand that generation TL has lots of room almost as much as a M35 and fuel economy was better than anything Infiniti has. Torque steer was bad on that TL edition and handling was not impressive. And the TL's low profile tires developed bubbles every time I hit a bad pothole. Had to replace 3 tires that way.   I looked at everything in the price range up to 60K and wasn't particularly impressed by anything. I'm going to with g35x in the next 2 months when my M35x lease is up. Save some cash, get some extra speed, and a few mpg more than my M35X. I agree the bmw 335 is overpriced; same with their 5 series and the 5 series is less attractive than the 3 series. And some features aren't available on the BMW period. The rearview monitor on the Infiniti spoils you.

Replying to: chisox (May 15, 2008 6:36 am) The wood package can be installed by the dealer. I just got my G35x today- slate blue, wheat interior, wood package with prem and nav. The car had a aluminum interior but they swapped wood out from another car so I could get this one. Probably only larger dealers do this. Ray Catena in Edison NJ also has a customized wood package which is super glossy and has lots of extra panels. Too much glossy wood in my opinion ($999) but looks like Lexus stuff (deliberate). Anyway, wood package seems like it can be done. Maybe the dealer can order the parts for you?

I just wanted to say hi. I just purchased an 05 G35x with a premium package. I went from a 1996 honda accord to this. I would say that would be a good upgrade. Dan
#373 of 398 VDC by luckylocky Sep 05, 2008 (8:05 pm)
Has anybody tried to drive the G35x with the VDC turned off? Does it improve the handling or decrease it? Replies to this message: sjaieve (Oct 12, 2008 6:51 am)

#376 of 398 Dash Buzz by rsaul Sep 15, 2008 (8:00 am)
I have a 2008 G35xS with 4,500 miles that I bought back in January (yes, I know I haven't been driving near enough to have only 4,500 miles in 9 months). Over the past month, I've been experiencing a buzzing noise seemingly coming from the cover over the instrument cluster. The buzz occurs at just about every RPM and all road surfaces and if you tap the top of the dash/instrument cluster, you can hear it as well. I thought it could perhaps be something to do with the clear plastic cover over the gauges that may be a bit loose, or it could be something more sinister inside the dash. Has anyone else had any buzzing/rattle issues and have the dealers been easy to deal with or has anyone attempted to repair this themselves? I had a 2004 Acura TL, so I get really scared when I start to hear buzzes/rattles as myTL was plagued with them. Thanks.

Replying to: rsaul (Sep 15, 2008 8:00 am) Somewhere on this board there's a thread relating to dashboard rattles, and I posted something myself shortly after I bought my 2008 G35x back in April. The rattle -- more of a vibration -- comes and goes, mostly behind the glove compartment. During the first few thousand miles it was almost constant; now, I'm either used to it or it is mostly gone. My dealer has received several complaints about this but says he's never been able to locate the cause.

Replying to: rsaul (Sep 15, 2008 8:00 am) No buzz with my 2008 G35x. Has been relatively quiet other than the infiniti engine noise.
