Garage
My wife's car is a 2008 G35x. The x is just the full time 4 wheel drive.

We bought it new. It is a nice car. It is very quiet at highway speeds. The gas mileage sucks, she drives it slow and easy on her commute to work. She gets about 17 mpg in all city driving.

My only real complaint is the gas pedal feel. It is drive by wire and as you start to give it gas nothing happens, then more gas and nothing happens, a little more gas and BAM you are your way. It is not linear at all.

She has only driven it 14,000 miles so it is not exactly a high mileage car. We have had zero problems. The dealer is just two miles from our house. Since it is under warrenty the had done the service work which is mostly oil changes. $45 and the change the oil & wash the car for her in 45 minutes max.
