INFINITI G37S (2+2s Pt.3) - Everyday Driver
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- The final piece in our comparison of 2+2 sports cars. The Infiniti G37S is by far the most expensive of this group, so is it worth the extra cost? And in the final discussion, the guys debate which car they'd take home for themselves. See more reviews at EverydayDriver.com
I drive an '08 G37S that I bought about 9 months ago, and none of my friends believe me when I tell them it's a 10-11 year old car. The design of the car and all of the features it comes with is astounding for a car that's a decade old. I got it for a fantastic price (though still not cheap) from the original owner with only 31,000 miles on it. Best money I've ever spent on a car without question. My dad drives a 2015 Cadillac CTS coupe and my mother has a 2016 MX-5; I wouldn't expect the Miata to be all that 'luxury', but even compared to my dad's Cadillac (which I think is one of the 'competitors' to the G37s), the CTS doesn't even come close to being as nice or as fun to drive and the interior feels cheap in comparison to my 11 year old Infiniti. :)
Omg did Todd just rate the RX-8 above the G37? First time I've disagreed with him so vehemently! The G37 takes luxury, refinement and driving enthusiasm to a level that the Hyundai and Mazda could only dream of. Trust me when you aren't absolutely beating on these cars, you're gonna want a car that looks great and is comfortable.
gmualum08 for be real the rx8 shouldn't be here , it's more a sport car base on 50/50 weight redistribution , more like the brz or the s2k
i put 1K miles in one day in 2010 G37x sedan(90K miles), from Burlington VT to Chicago. Trust me, those seats are comfortable
The Sport model has different seats. A little too sporty sometimes for my liking on long road trips.
@@budzbudzbudz I love those sport seats, especially the power thigh extension.
@@DoomFinger511 Tru.. it's a manual thigh extension :P
@@budzbudzbudz That sounds dirty lol
Value, beauty, and ride I like the INFINITI G37S the best
The clock is an identifier for the Infiniti brand. Love my clock.
lol genesis is the knock off of g37
pretty much and less powerband through gears as well fucking sad.
reidspencer very true
@ The cars look basically the same dude lmao.
reidspencer the g can shoot flames
@ What do you mean? They're both RWD V6 coupes.
Mom drives a hyundai, son drives a hyundai, I drive the G37S
I like how you guys disagree between each other, it makes the review a little more realistic. Thumbs up!
I totally agree with you guys on the exhaust note. For some reason infiniti has mastered the exhaust noise on all their cars. The Z's on the otherhand.... no. I'm sure people can get aftermarket exhaust to solve that problem, but that can cost upwards past $1000. I'm sure you guys heard the exhaust on the FX45. Honestly, it sounds better than alot of other sports cars.
We hope you'll watch more of our work before making any conclusions about our channel. You may enjoy our review of the FRS vs. GenCoupe vs. Lotus Elise, and many more. We know our work isn't for everyone, but the guys regularly disagree so it's possible to find one you like and one you don't. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I traded in my '12 Genesis Coupe 2.0T 6spd for my '11 G37 Coupe 7AT last year. The Genesis Coupe is a one trick pony. The G37 is much more refined. The Gen broke more necks and received much more compliments from the public. The G37 just demands more respect from everyone. Genesis Coupe= attracts Boy Racer crowd and cops / G37 Coupe repels the wrong attention
wait a minute, you owned a Hyundai..... YUCK !
***** I agree...past couple years, Hyundai has stepped up their game! Cars are great for reliability and the 2.0T Genesis and 3.8 r-specs are beast cars! really fun cars! I never thought id ever say "Id go get a hyundai" lol but now...man, those cars are mean and fast!
+ilikebags95 Much better at their cars. They're come LONG way since the mid 90's.
got a 08 G37, first year, when new got lots of stares, and the cops wouldnt leave us alone. tickets when i was driving under limit. kids wouldnt even drive it because the cops were pulling them over just to look at the car. now, 7 years later, (136K) its old hat and nobody gives it much attention. by the way only thing that went wrong was the buttons on the nav. l love this car!!! going to keep it and tune it. twin turbo.
You are sooooo right
I owned this car after my G35 and I have to say, I preferred my G35 in every way other than interior. The new body type was not appealing and despite upping the horse power by nearly 40, I felt its power from 0 was lacking by comparison with all the new torque reserved for speeds in excess of 100km/h. The one thing no other car in the price range can match is the Infiniti's sound, it's nigh orgasmic for the price.
This is a sports car, through and through. Although I preferred my G35, I have no clue how you can take a Mazda or the Genesis over the G37.
TheRoseExperience Agree with everything you just said, The G37 is like a girly version of the G35 I could never take one over my G35 coupe
TheRoseExperience
Probably don't enjoy the oil consumption as much lol.
TheRoseExperience I actually wanna get rid of my g35 coupe for a g37 coupe how does the steering compare? can you really feel the extra weight on the g37? thanks in advance by the way :)
Christian Braceros You definitely feel the extra weight, but mine was a 08, they may have mitigated that problem in later entries.
Christian Braceros
I went from a 350z to a 7 speed g37s coupe. The g37 is so much better than the z in every way. If you get a g37 trust me you will be happy. If you want an auto make sure you get 09+ bc the 08 had the crappy 5 speed auto. Also go for the s package. Love my g even a year after i bought it.
Conclusion: it’s a balanced performer.
6:47 "why do you date a supermodel? It's not for the brains!" haha best line in this video.
I miss these guys...they were so good. Too bad they don’t do much on UA-cam now
We hope you watched the entire review and noticed that the RX8 did very well here. And as stated, this was a comparison of 2+2 platforms, not a company and its history or racing success. More recently, we did another review of the RX8 where it was paired with the FRS and S2000... as an RX8 fan we hope you'll watch that one. If you'd like some comments on Mazda's racing in relation to its cars, try our new Focus ST vs MS3 review. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
We know our show isn't for everyone, but we hope you'll watch a few of our reviews before making any conclusions on the quality of what we do. And we welcome your thoughts.
I choose the G37,its a 2+2 car,its a great grand tourer.I just wish the steering wheel could a bit heavier so it delivers more feeling to the driving
Hyundai specifically used the G37 as their size and styling target when making the Genesis Coupe, and then offered it for far less than the competition - which has been their strategy for a while. Thus, we and other outlets (Edmunds was the first, and then many others) put these two against each other. You are welcome to disagree with this pairing, but it does have merit. Meanwhile, we hope you'll watch more of our work and we welcome your on-going commentary both good and bad. Thanks!
Infinities have great exhaust notes. Have to say I like the look of the g35 more though
True, we aren't a large show, but we get cars from manufacturers (both the Infiniti and Hyundai were press cars here) and we've been around awhile doing work that's gotten recognition alongside some of the biggest names in car journalist. When the Genesis first came out, there were a few reviews (besides ours) putting it with the Infiniti because the G had so clearly been the model for the Genesis Coupe. Edmunds was one of the first to compare them, though they are far different in price.
you don't need to hold the start button down when you start it
@wavesdvdcom - Well, Todd owned a 1990 300zx, and is a big fan of the Z cars in general. But he still finds the Genesis to be a real competitor here. It's not refined, but it is fun to drive. Great resale value is often an indicator of market demand more than actual quality - Keep in mind Hyundai has one of the best warranties in the industry so a used Genesis is a pretty safe gamble. Of course, since the guys disagree, we encourage others to do the same.
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Very true, but as a car enthusiast myself, I would have preferred to see a G37s compared to a 335i. The contrast between engineering strategies and goals, NA engine vs twin turbo, and "cheap" luxury vs luxury in my opinion would have been a great review. The infiniti emphasizes it's advances in technology and the BMW is about elegant simplicity and precision. Lastly, as a wild card for a third comparison, the 2011+ mustangs, or even the 370z would be more worthy challengers thanks for the reply
We hear your and understand your point. We are explaining our approach. You disagree with us and are welcome to do so. We welcome everyone's comments. You are also welcome to start your own show and pair cars however you would prefer. We will watch and applaud you.
@EYE50MM - Thanks for your thoughts and glad you liked this comparo. We completely agree with you about multiple cameras to shoot our opening and wrapup pieces. We've done that before, but unfortunately it wasn't possible when we shot this piece.
We've got a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline, so definitely keep watching and commenting. (CTS Coupe, BMW 335is, S5, Cayman S, and Volt are already on our schedule)
There are plenty of other sources that will happily bury the audience in stats. In fact, most are obsessed with stats, so we purposely take a different approach. We find that stats rarely share much about the way a car actually feels - but they are great for charts, lists, and arguments. We realize our style might not work for everyone, but if our discussion of the driving experience makes you want to go drive the cars for yourself, then we feel we've succeeded. Thanks for watching.
We would love to completely spec out every press car we receive to make the comparisons as equal as possible. However, this isn't possible for us and most journalists - we have to use what is available in the Press Fleets. At the time we did this review, this automatic GC Grand Touring was the car Hyundai had available for the press. In spite of this, we hope you noticed that the GC did very well in this comparison. Thanks for watching!
Now wait a sec, Paul. When you review the G37 sedan (which I own,) you said the clock "needs to be rethought," but now you like it. I'm glad to see you're coming around! :) I think the clock is a nice touch, even though it looks a bit bland. The best interior of any car I've ever owned was my '08 Cadillac CTS. If only it could have stayed running long enough for me to enjoy it for more than a month at a time!
@Vitaminous - We put these cars together because they are 2+2 sports cars, as stated in the opening. There are other 2+2 designs, but most of them straddle other categories (335i coupe & A5 are luxury sports sedans, Mustang Camaro etc are Muscle cars). And... Hyundai used the G37 as a target in making the Genesis, then undercut the price.
We aren't the first people to put the Genesis opposite the G37. The question is always - "Is the Infiniti worth the price difference?". That's up to you.
Always loved these cars got lucky and found a Athens blue one like in the video people always getting compliments such a good car!
Infiniti for the win. I could drive the VQ engine all day, every day.
Just bought a '11 g37xs.
great information here. Subscribing to hear more!
The transmission was changed in 2011-2012....tighter steering, better handling, faster car, 7 speed sequential shift, excellent brakes, software ECU takes advantage of the CAI....get a FSTB....HFC, lowering springs (Tanabe Sustec Pro) Get wider tires and H & R spacers...15mm front and 20 - 25 mm rear. Get the XS Atessa AWD system.......4.7 sec 0 - 60.....Uprev Osiris tune...etc.
+Allan Sonac Would you recommend the same thing for a 2014 Q60s??? Thats what im driving just been looking for some upgrades and a good tune!....How much more HP would you get from the Uprev Osiris tune and a CAI???
+Ram Berto yes I do recommend the mods for a Q60. R2C intakes and HFC's (high flow cats). Uprev Osiris with dyno tune.
I really enjoyed this video. I used to own a modified Evo(500hp) but I sold it to purchase my first home. I miss the performance but not so much the rough ride that came with it. I've been looking for a great all around car. I'm now trying to decide between the G37s and the Lexus IS350. Great video guys.
Totally agree about the chrome spoiler. This is such a beautiful car except for that horrible chrome spoiler
I don't think it looks bad at all. I think it adds another nice touch to the car makes it stand out from other IMO
Sebwang45
I've got an '08 G37S that I covered the chrome with a larger spoiler. Personally....I think it finished the rear a bit better.
pinoymetalhead just put vinyl over it
Got a "12" and yeah the rear spoiler would look better body colored but I don't have a problem with the chrome.
If you've ever lived with a G37, you'd realize how wrong your statement is when you said the luxury in the Hyundai is "not too far behind."
The G series has an AWD option, ridiculous tuning potential and great aftermarket, the genesis coupe is a decent tuner but that's it. Across the board the G series has everything up on the coupe
"Riidiculous tuning potential" Wait what? They can get some decent power from a few bolt ons to be sure, but the VQ engine isn't much better than the Gensis
in that regard.
The VR30 in the Q50/60 is a totally different story, but those cars are also very different than the G37.
How can you choose the Genesis over G37? Genesis is quick and that's it, feels cheap and looks like an imitation G37. And still the G is quicker, not even on the same level. Come on Todd.
I've got a 3.8 Genesis Coupe and a G37X S Coupe in my driveway right now. Both have their pros and cons. Calling the Genesis cheap and an imitation G37 is a blanket statement that doesn't hold up when you've actually owned both, like I do. The Genesis is FAR roomier in the cockpit, has more trunk space, making it a slightly better all-day commuter. The G37 has a faster engine and the luxury components, while not necessary, are really friggin' nice. I love my Navi + backup Camera, but the car doesn't feel quite as raw and sporty as the Genesis. Both handle about the same, and I turn corners sharply and fast precisely the same way. I'd recommend either one. For $15,000 less, the Genesis is a straight-up competitor to the G37, and the new Genesis Coupes will SLAUGHTER G37s with ease at a red light. Make no mistake about that. I know they discontinued the G37 for the Q, but there hasn't been a significant upping of horsepower. It's essentially the same car with a different badge number.
I love them both. I'm getting rid of my GenCoupe in 4 months, and the G37 will take over as my primary, but right now, they're both excellent cars that appeal to two distinctly different audiences. That doesn't make the Genesis an inferior car. Not by a long shot.
MaestroDraven Thanks for the description. I like both cars too and wouldn't mind being in your situation. People forget the new Genesis coupe has 348 hp and the G only has 330 and it's heavier too. I couldn't decide which one i'd like more myself. The G is slightly better looking but the Genesis is faster...
John Vu Well I've since changed my stance a little on that. While the new Genesis Coupes have the horsepower advantage, they still have a while to go before they really nail the performance. Remember that the 3.8 original Genesis had 20 less horsepower, but weighed a ton less, and still got beaten. Sure, the new ones can hold their own, but not by much. One of the biggest reasons are the transmissions. Infiniti simply has the superior one. Shifts are lightning fast, whereas the Genesis has always suffered from a 1-2 second lag in between shifts, which is pretty inexcusable. Infiniti will be changing their lineup next year, and I'm willing to bet they're going to be hitting back against their competitors very hard.
Also, if you suddenly decide to do anything in terms of twin-turbo or supercharging on the G37, it's game over for the competition. Those cars were made for that kind of thing, and they're practically unbeatable on the road once tuned. The Genesis likes to think it can take the same approach, but it's not going to achieve what the G can.
Dude, you're full of good information. I've read the 0-60 time on the Genesis though and it's as fast as the Nissan 370Z Nismo, in fact, the article even stated as such so with 348 horses, it's got to be faster then the G??? Although, you would know more then I would, I just read one article. I just want to see the Genesis move up and get appreciated in the sports world. I'm a Nissan/Infiniti man myself but I am still rooting for the Genesis coupe. It's that slow to shift huh? That's disheartening.....put a TT in a Z or a S2000 and no one can mess with you..until you come across a GTR anyways...so what's going to happen to the new G37?
John Vu Well the G37 is still going to be the Q, last I heard, but they're bringing back the old-style G37 steering. They changed it for the Q and it didn't go over very well. Feels too artificial. There's hinting that it's the first step in beefing up the Q and continuing in the same vein as what they did with the G37. Nothing concrete on that yet, though, but Infiniti is promising some big surprises.
very professionally handled. well done everyday driver! people just hate, personally i LOOOOOVE my G37S. 2008 obsidian black. the car is perfect for me in every possible way. Keep up the work EverydayDriver ! :)
@EverydayDriver - LOL - Well, I owned a 1990 Twin Turbo Z, one of the first shipment 1 per dealer in San Francisco. My custom license plate would be seen as politically incorrect now... but the frame said "Porsche Substitute" (from the old 1984 days - "there is no substitute" tag line). My plate was "911SREZ" would be considered a Bin Ladin plate now. Needless to say in 1990, it had the same specs as my 2006 G35 - 300hp + similar performance. I waited 16 years to buy the same performance.
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf recently =)
@Alfredo Conner Yea, I've been using Instaflixxer for since november myself =)
G37 is a great car. Looks much better with the body color duck tail spoiler. I also would prefer the grill to be a little less classy. It’s a sports coupe after all. But great design overall. I like a lot of driver involvement but I could sacrifice some of that to drive one of these.
Wow, still a gorgeous car after 15 years
Great video guys!
Nobody fucking ever gets it!
The clock is a clock! It's working 24/7 and you can tell time always with the car off too.
@wavesdvdcom - We hope you've watched our Z car comparison. 300zx TT vs. 350z vs. 370z. As a Z car fan, you'll probably enjoy it. And as far as the RX8 is concerned, since you watched the review you probably noticed we agree with you about the lack of power.
I am dying for the g37!!!
1:35 i completely agree with his comments on the spoiler... i hate that spoiler... when i get my 08' g37s that's the first thing I'm gonna change... the old spoilers which are the length of the trunk, and the body color of the car look much better... it reminds me a little of stock porsche spoilers.
I hate to say it, I completely disagree with you (I stopped the video right at 1:32 lol). I could easily mistake this car for an Altima coupe on the fly, and if you pulled away the Infiniti badges. I'm failing to see the sportiness of this car. Or is that the point of the "higher society" versions of already good cars, to throw finer leather and cleaner instrumentation in and assume it's better than the peon version? Acura did just that with the RSX / Integra. I'm almost glad they never got their paws on an S2000 and found a way to ruin it.
It can look similar to an altima coupe from certain angles, yeah I can see that. they are both on the same chassis... but if you put them side by side it's easy to tell the difference, even without the badges.
And behind the wheel the g37 outshines the altima in every way except for gas mileage. a 4 cylinder fwd w/ 175 horsepower doesn't compare to a rwd 3.7l v6, front mid engine, with 330 horsepower (300+ to the wheels.). Not to mention all the other features in which g37 outshines the altima... suspension, exhaust, brakes.
It's a pretty valid assumption, in my humblest of opinions, that the infiniti g37 is an all around better car than the nissan altima. But that's just me...
Jesse Custer Turns out we do see eye-to-eye :-)
I have owned both, the G37 is the better car with no question.
You guys did a good job on the overall review. I have a 2010 g37s coupe and I have very few if any complaints about it. It looks great, its comfortable, and its very fun to drive. I think you guys missed on the comparison piece. I would've liked to see you compare it to the 335i, A5, and CTS coupe. The Genesis is similar from a driving perspective but not from a price perspective. Keep up the good work.
The Infiniti G37S coupe win hand down from 0-60, 1/4 and performance as well. Hyundai created the Genesis to compete with the Infiniti G37 Coupe.
I own one and although I am only 6' my dad is 6' 4" and had about 1 inch of head room and as far as leg space, the seat and steering is adjustable. One possible issue is if you are used to maybe a Lexus or other wide bodied car where you have a lot of room between the door, seat, and center console. This car doesn't have too much of that. To be sure, see if you can rent one for a day or go to a dealership and ask to test drive one to be sure. It is a great car so I do recommend it, good luck.
I can't really imagine that anyone is cross shopping these three cars.
could of swear the g37s was faster 0-60 stock
nah, it's pretty heavy, 370z is about 300lbs lighter and .04 sec faster.
Yeah, it is...
www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/infiniti-0-60-mph-times/
They're in Colorado, way above sea level.
Other than swapping out most of the exhaust system in mine, it's still mostly stock, and I've definitely managed to get my 37s slightly under 5.0 if I can manage to time the shifting exactly perfectly, have new tires, and get a decent launch on a clean driving surface. Even bone stock, I'd be willing to bet money that its 0-60 was definitely faster than 5.6, despite how heavy it is for the size.
@@stoneseabolt Same here, but my only mod was Injen short-ram CAI intakes. Also, mine was an '08, with 5AT, instead of the 2009+ (economy tuned) 7AT...
Have you? Lived with a Genesis? Your opinion is probably based on driving one or having seen one. Yet you feel comfortable and justified in making such statements.
No, I have not lived with the G37. But I've driven it.
Unless I am willing to sell the house to purchase a Maybach, I prefer not to debate which middle class "luxury" cars are deserving of ownership.
I like the Genesis for what it is. It's a driver's car. It's not pretentious either, which I like.
I always enjoy watching your show guys. Whenever I see your videos, I feel like I'm watching a couple of good friends reviewing cars... It's hard to explain ha ha. You guys make the video fun to watch is the best way I can put it. I think I already subscribed? I have to check. I always forget to sub because I go from video to video. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Great video guys. Looking forward to the next one.
Hyundai Genesis does not sound better than the infiniti G37
And not to mention Genesis is not reliable it was 3.5 out of 5.0, which ranks it 16th out of 31 in its class infiniti g37 is 4.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 8th out of 31 which makes the G37 better in it's glass over the Genesis. Only thing I do not like about the G37 is that outdated navigation and touch screen system
I really want to see these guys compare the 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Coupe, the 2013 Infiniti G37s, and the 2013 Mazda RX-8. Hyundai stepped up their game big time for the 2013 model. Literally everything - from performance, interior materials quality, and exterior styling - is improved. I'm not saying the new Genesis is BETTER than the G37, but it's VERY easy to make the argument now.
it still makes no sense. you're comparing a luxury sport coupe against 2 entry level cars. It would have been better compared against audi and bmw. Just my opinion.
Are you guys familiar with the clicking noise mostly heard more in the front passenger side? clicking noise which appears When accelerating and deccelerating. Gas on "click", gas off "click". It seems like when the car is on gear. No clicking sound in neutral. Any advice please. it is not an ITB08-018 Clicking noise from rear axle. Thanks
I always loved infiniti's my dad bought a G35 in 03 and replaced it with an 07 G35X which i now get to drive every now and again and i absolutely love it and have always wanted to own a G37S at some point and i think this review has just sold me even more on the idea. Thanks for the review of this car you did an amazing job and really cover all the aspects that alot of others miss, by the way the analogue clock is awesome everyone who gets in more car comments on that its a great feature
"Where did you just go?!" LOL
my dream car
@ Ericson787
Have you sat in a 2013 BMW 3 series (redsigned E92) and in a 2013 G37S Coupe (old V36). Try it and then let everyone know which felt cheaper. Trust me, the BMW is cheap in every respect. I was terribly dissapointed. What sealed its fate was my wifes response as a passenger - "...I feel like I dont matter when in this car. The G made me feel good."
@AlternativeUses I fully agree, and there was something about those stacked headlights on the old G coupe that was a nice and a different take for a change. It would have been cool looking had they left a stacked headlight design on the current model.
I love your videos! keep it up!
So the real question would be 2+2's you guys did the M3's comparo. Where do the E36 and E46 m3's fit in vs these guys?
G37 is a car "skyline" of a tradition of Japan, and is GT car of the genuine article which existed as a base of GTR in the past.
RX8 is a sports car with the low center of gravity so that it may be known seeing the height of a bonnet.
A rotary engine and the Subaru boxer engine have the very low center of gravity.
This is an important element of a sports car.
Although the exterior of the Hyundai coupe seems to be a sports car, the contents do not have technical innovation.
What car is better between the infinite g35 coupe and the Nissan 350z? I'm stuck. Don't know which car I should go for. Please help out.
I agree with Todd, you don't buy a corvette, viper or GT3 to take a luxiourious road trip, those are sports cars like the genesis, meant to be driven for fun. You mix the two togerther and you get something that doesn't know what it is.
good job guys fun review!
@c0nv1ct1337as an infiniti owner, i have to say the "luxury" part of the brand is all an illusion. At least at the G/Ex/Fx level. the interior looks nice but start rattling before it turns 2 and the leather will crack after about 2 mths of daily use.
Than once that happens and you start to examine your interior piece more closely than your initial test drive. You will realize that infiniti uses fake vinyl in place of real leather whenever possible. Don't get me start on the creaking and rattling
so im guessing u guys recomand the rx8 more since its the only car u agree on
Did you film this in the Santa Clarita/Castaic area?
+EverydayDriver it still makes no sense. you're comparing a luxury sport coupe against 2 entry level cars. It would have been better compared against audi and bmw. Just my opinion.
best car reviewers ever
Nicely done video! Nice video quality! But you guys need to step up your audio. The voice quality inside the car is kind of OK, but not that great.. But the final wrap-up outside the cars where you both converse? Poor. You're using an on-camera mic is not good technique. Step up to wireless lav mics for that and this will sound WAAAAY better. With all the work you put in to this, don't throw accept audio quality that makes your voices sound thin and distant. Otherwise, nice job!
agree with this review,the genesis feels very alive and its agile and nimble
I love your videos.. however, shouldn't the G37s be compared with like the BMW 335i or 335is?.. because infiniti is a luxury sports coupe.. and the mazda and hundai is a sports car?...
Todd - your argument is nuts... buy a Z if you want performance.. buy a G if you want performance with luxury, lower insurance and wife with oh god kids in the back... Both the Hyundai and Mazda loose their value ASAP and their lower quality and re-sale value prove it. You should add the real competition to the G which is the BMW for those that love conservative (boring) design.and or Z vs Boxer (over priced and lower performance). I had a twin turbo Z in 1990 and waited till 2006 for the G.
could you guys do a review of the accord coupe v6 (08-12) ?
they have a lot of power and no one ever seems to mention them.
Can we get a video with the g35 and g37 vs the Nissan 350z and 370z? I want to get one of these cars, but I'm going towards the g35 or g37 because of the extra space for people. I own a 1985 Nissan 300zx Turbo.
Oh i am comfortable in making that statement. My neighbor who I'm close to owns a Genesis Coupe. While he loves his car for similar reason as you love yours, he and I both agree that the quality of luxury the G37 that my family owns is far ahead of the Genesis'. If you reply, I'd prefer if you don't make any assumptions about my opinions.
does the genesis share any parts with the g37? they seem so damn similar..
Wish y'all could've gotten an IPL. Fixes just about every one of their complaints. Sounds better, chucks around a corner better, just the ride quality suffers. Love mine
Infiniti G37s is the best!^^
I wanna see them review the G35 Coupe 6 speed. 2003 preferably.
the mustang's power and handling has vastly improved, as well as look, its not like before where many debated that its a sports car, but now you have to respect it. I believe its over used, but its great esp the new 5.0, but in corners it slacks, on straightways, thats what its meant for, the new 5.0's still need handling improvement... for i can name several vehicles that i enjoy on twists than the stang.
@c0nv1ct1337 The mustang is in a completely different league than these cars as it is seen as a raw pure muscle car. It really is hard to compare brute force with finesse...
small time show.. guys reviewed what cars were available to them. notice the small dent in the hyundai's front bumper near the end of the video. definitely not professional, but still good
@tovarasuu I guess to get badass you would go for a 350 / 370 Z. I have heard that Hyundai is addressing the interior for 2011, replacing much of the hard plastics with soft touch materials.
I totally disagree with your take on the chrome spoiler. It is more like a girl wearing
a pair of Pleaser heels. It just adds a tad bit of pizzaz to a very refined car. Also
the seats in my 2014 Q60S are amazing. In fact the reason I bought this car was because I wanted a 350Z with a back seat. This car feels just like the Z and the seats are
soothing to my back. And I have had a back operation and have spinal issues. In fact,
when my back hurts, I can take a 30 minute ride in the Infiniti or my Z and my back feels great.
As for the engine, the 3.7L likes far more revs then the older 3.5L I have
in my 350Z. That was the first thing I noticed. The Z will pull hard from 1500
rpm where as the 3.7 does not pull till about 3000 rpm. I love both my 2014 Q60S and
my 350Z..
My father has a G37 with 150k miles, it runs strong but.... It just feels cheaply made. Did you guys feel the cardboard paper thin sunroof shade ? His door seals came loose over time and now you can fit you fingers between them. The materials inside scuff easily as well(put coins in the doors? don't do it) and it has a lopey idle and feels rough. It is loud for what it is. We have had to replace the clutch 7 times(ridiculous) and can't average more then 24 mpg highway.
I was thinking the hyundai genesis was a spiritual successor to the Mitsubishi Starion, at least the 2.0.
I don't disagree and actually have a 09 G37. Wouldn't buy one new, but used? Definitely. BTW, there is a 6spd manual. But all the manual cars are G37S's and the sport seats are NOT friendly to larger framed dudes. The Hyundai is impressive and a LONG way from being the Scoop from the 80's/90's. I would test drive one.
Did the Genesis come from the factory dented?
thank you very much!
@adamaoc
Congratulations on your purchase!
We have another happy Genesis Coupe owner! :)
since this is a comparo of 2+2 SPORTS cars, GC obviously would win. RX8 is great but too extreme and unique. G37 is too luxury, and personally I think the G37 looks too plain. Nice review guys.
