 At the time of purchase my wife and i did a lot of research on this car. due to her driving so much. The G35 Seemed to be a great car. So we bought brand new 2003 model. Boy were we ever wrong. During the first year the transmission completely locked up. The cd player totally shut down and the air would not turn off at all. Then at 100,300 mile the transmission went completely out and 2 weeks after that the windshield wiper motor was completely fried. I have own much cheaper cars that have lasted so much longer than this lux. sedan. Very poor build and cheap and low end materials in my eyes.
