Read a few pro reviews about either engine or road noise. Is it as bad as the pro reviewers say?
It depends on you, for me the noise is perfect, but I love to be "connected" to the road and car. I hate "silent" cars:)

Been there done that. I'm 57 and want a bit more quiet in the car now from the road noise and engine at least. I do want to here that pipe note. I think I might rent a 37 from Hertz for a day to see if it's for me.

I've had by G37S for a couple of weeks now, and to my senses it's very quiet. The 18" low profile tires do seem to make a bit of a very, VERY muted roar (roar is an exaggeration) at highway speeds, but it doesn't bother me a bit. I enjoy being able to hear a little bit of the road at highway speeds - part of the feedback I like in a car. I was not looking for, nor expecting a living room-on-wheels.
 
If that's what you want, buy a Lexus or a Caddy.

If that's what you want, buy a Lexus or a Caddy. To much $$$$ and the Lexus GS is old looking and the Cad is US junk.

"I think I might rent a 37 from Hertz for a day to see if it's for me."
Assuming you rent a G with 17" wheels, I'll be very surprised if you think it's noisy... because it isn't. I doubt the 18" wheels are that "noisy" either. You'll certainly feel the road a bit more in a G than a car with a cushier suspension, but based on your preferences and budget the G seems like the car for you (assuming you're interested in a new car, as opposed to used).
 
Who knows, you might find some '08, new G's in stock. I would imagine you could get a decent deal on those if there are any still around.

It looks that way. I've got 40K cash to spend.

2,000 Miles report by denverg35

Just a couple of observations, since I relied heavily on this forum when I bought my G37xS:
 
1.) More road noise than I had with my Audi S4 with summer performance tires. Overall not bad, and ride is a bit softer.
2.) Stereo has pretty flat response with minimal deep bass--very good soundstage with the driver focus selection. Good for voices, but not sharp on highs--thinking of replacing tweeters and adding tight sub
3.) 7 speed will never be called "smooth"--on rapid acceleration, really hangs up, paddle shifters to correct shifts are a must
4.) Ugly engine noise at higher RPMs--but sound is ok if you are not pressing too much
5.) Paint is much softer than Euro models, would really think about getting dark color (swirls)--and yes, it does scratch and not heal
6.) Mileage estimates appear pretty accurate, unless you like to have fun driving (lead foot)
7.) WIth all that said, I like this car as much as my S4 which cost 18k more--great handling, should be good reliability, and as fast without the nose-heavy V8--but will miss the exhaust note of the V8

problems with Goodyear RSA tires? by blitzebill

i just bought an 09 G37x sedan and the OE ties are the Goodyears.
 
I've been reading some reviews at tirerack.com and other places that go so far as to say DO NOT USE THESE TIRES.
 
i'm concerned about this of course.
 
I've been reading about the Michelin Primacy MXV 4 tires. a bit pricey but supposedly outstanding tire.
 
any recommendations?
 
thanks!

I just bought a set of Primacy MXV4's in the H speed rating. They are fabulous, smooth and I'm getting 1 MPG better mileage. However they do not handle as well as the Goodyears I took off. So there's always tradeoffs.
