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

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!

Replying to: denverg35 (Nov 13, 2009 7:08 pm) - Stereo: Agreed. Bass and treble are both weak by default; cranking them both "to 11" yields much better tone, but it's surprising that a "premium" sound system's bass response is so weak (maybe not, considering it's Bose). Also, I've noticed that XM broadcast quality ranges from "decent" to "horrible." Some channels/songs sound like they're being transmitted over a phone line; I suspect this is a limitation due to the low bitrate that the XM feed receives, since CD's tend to sound much, much better. - Tranny: I guess it depends on your preferences/expectations. I actually like more aggressive shift feel versus a Lexus-like seamless shifts, but I agree that paddle-shifting makes things more entertaining. - I actually enjoy hearing the higher-rpm engine noises--very much in character with the car. I agree it doesn't compare to the throaty growl of, say, an E39 M5's V8, but I think it complements the (significant) engine output nicely. - Agreed that the handling is excellent, albeit soft (again, varies with your expectations). Two things I intend to look into eventually are installation of the OEM big-brakes and suspension updates on the (non-X) sport package (or third-party alternatives if a better deal).

Replying to: denverg35 (Nov 16, 2009 6:05 pm) Hope everyone is enjoying their new ride. I recently got a G37S. I love the car but for the seats. The Cup styled seats especially in the side thigh area is bothering me. Didnt feel it when test driving as I was more focussed on Car performance, pcik up, etc. Does anyone feel something similar about the Drivers seats in a Sports version? Or is it just me? Appreciate your feedback! Cheers
