mike89 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Had one of these as a courtesy car whilst my 370z was being serviced at Infiniti. Thought I'd post up what I thought of it compared to the 370z, drove it for about 120 miles albeit mostly motorway. Driving wise, it had the same auto gearbox that's in the 370z, with flappy paddles on the steering wheel if you switch it to the DS mode. It worked well and I quite enjoyed going up through the gears, but for me a manual gearbox is far superior and more fun to drive. It didn't feel anywhere near as quick as the 370, but it definitely shifted! Was a much more smoother ride too and was extremely comfortable. Suspension was pretty stiff too so it cornered pretty well. Inside it's loaded with all the goodies my 370 has, connect premium with the hard drive, BOSE sound system and Bluetooth audio. The interior is slightly more classy than the Nissan, as you'd expect from the Infiniti range. The roof could also go down, even though it's a hard top, but I didn't fancy testing that out in December. One thing it did have extra the 370z doesn't was the reversing camera. This was really handy and I plan on fitting one to mine tomorrow having bought all the necessary hardware for doing it. Looks wise, the car is lovely on the inside and fairly nice looking at it from the outside. Albeit a different car as it has 4 seats, I don't think it's half as nice as the 370z or the 350z for that matter. I don't know why, but it reminded me of an Astra or a focus convertible, and that can't be a good thing! All in all, I certainly wouldn't be rushing out and buying one. It's a bit too grown up for me and is a lot more refined and subtle than the 350Z and certainly the 370Z.

Daryl Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Seen loads of Infiniti's around work, and think the G37 CC is one of the best looking CC's going to be honest, its a really good looking car. Not a fan of the rest of the range to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike89 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) I don't think it's ugly or anything but I couldn't help compare it to the looks of a 350z & 370z and it's nowhere near as nice to me. Probably didn't help that it was silver. Looked a lot nicer in black. If I was spending the amount of cash they are on this type of car I'd probably prefers a BMW 335i Coupe Edited December 12, 2013 by mike89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetranquilbass Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Have had a shot of the G37 from Infiniti a few times now, its alright but wouldn't say am swayed towards ever going for one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Had both the Coupe and Convertible from Infiniti Glasgow, thought both were pretty good. Tonnes of kit for what your paying, especially if you get one nearly new. Its more a grown up cruiser with the power of the Z, where as the Zeds more 'focused'. You feel the body roll in the infiniti as you go round sweeping corners, but tbh most people buying won't care about that lol. As for looks/exclusivity... I had the black coupe with black alloys sitting outside a café as I had lunch and the amount of looks it gets, a lady on a bus snapped her neck back and whipped out her phone for a pic which surprised me lol. Recently had the M hybrid saloon... to all intensive purposes a jap Roller lol Feels massive, but very nice.

LRF4N Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Had one on test drive a while back. Like mentioned I thought it was more of a luxury coupe rather than a raw sports car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow cannt see infiniti associated with a 'raw' sports car but would be nice if they gave it a go lol Edited December 14, 2013 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 They did have a supercar concept based on the gtr but don't think it's going to production Shame cos it looked good http://www.freshnessmag.com/2012/02/27/infiniti-emerg-e-hybrid-super-car-concept/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
