I leased the G35 for 2 years, but no problems at all. I currently been in the 2010 G37x with 104K miles. The only problem is the driver door latch system failed & cost $800 to repair. The other comment is they are a blast to drive. I blow away bmw's & audi's all the time from a standing stop. If you down shift w/ the tip tropic, you can really save on brake maintenance. The steering is off the charts as well...tight and good weighting. I am a skier and drive in snow; as good, if not better than an SUV. Trunk has pass thru for skis & lumber. I am going to keep it to 150-200K miles. Highly recommend...

Nissan quality today is garbage, I like Frontier,Titan trucks but thats all I would purchase from Nissan today. Sentra was decent car in the mid 90's to early 00's now its absolutely tragic to own one. Keep your 94 Sentra for as long as you can.

So does that computer tell you if the transmission is leaking? If a dust boot is torn? If a shock is leaking? Are any bushings dry rotten? Is the subframe cracked? How much life the brakes have left? Is the fuel tank leaking? You can't properly inspect a car without looking under it, no matter how fancy your computer is.

[@lordvader3283]

I drove an 01 explorer with the original valve cover gaskets, it literally spat oil on the engine bay walls if I went above 3k rpm. I decided to change them at 244k just because I didn't want my explorer to become an exploder.

[@josephjakubec3171]

Thinking of selling at 92,000 miles! I have a 2004 Kia Rio with 278,000. Doing its first clutch replacement. Replaced the alternator at 220,00 and coolant fan motor at 230,000. Nothing else. Its called preventive maintenance. Any car can put on a few hundred thousand miles. MAINTAIN IT. Also, its still makes three trips from Prescott to Phoenix weekly and is used locally. One thing I do agree with Scotty. I never buy automatics. Sticks are fun and today's automatics are junk.

[@cwsmith7366]

I'm glad to see that you have finally seen the light in regard to to the G series Infinitis, Scotty. For years they have been very highly regarded in terms of reliability and balance between performance, comfort, and luxury. The drivetrains are ultra reliable, especially the manual transmission variants coupled with the engine oil galley fix done from 2011 on. And yes, they are fast good handling cars in stock form, but if performance is your bag, minimal intake and exhaust mods coupled with a good tune REALLY ups the HP, and slight lowering plus slightly thicker sway bars and some sticky tires turn these things into extremely capable back road/track monsters, without affecting ride comfort substantially. The brakes on the S series especially are incredible too, and the net result is a car that is especially rewarding to drive and can put to shame it's German sedan competitors with magnitudes less repair issues. As an added bonus as far as I'm concerned the sedan versions not only offer rear seats that actually fit normal sized humans very well, but are also stiffer and lighter than their zoomy two door coupe sister. What's not to love about these things?

[@TheCritter001]

Its crazy seeing real r34 skylines on the road. I drove an r32 but held off then 19 hit and market went . I'll stick with my g35 for now, got it for a steal.

[@Entrelanieve]

You are right on everything you type here. I have a G35S with stick shift with 270k km and still running as a clock. The car is a perfect combination of power, balance, style (2007 looking better that newer competition models), quality of materials and turning and braking response. It is not that expensive to fix it or keeping it in good shape. That is why I have not found any comparable car to replace it.

[@tanfer2003]

I owned two Nissan maximas, one a 2010 ran over 150,000 miles, currently driving a 2012 with 100,500 miles.. the engine never burns any oil which is impressive..I change oil every 8000 miles and always check fluid levels.. it never burned a drop of oil the level was same both cold and hot.. that Nissan v6 is super reliable

Hey Scotty thanks for your video! Take care

[@xFlared]

Scotty I purchased a used Q40 (aka leftover g37) year 2015 30k miles for 15 grand at an acura dealership. Since the vehicle was replaced by q50 and had 2 owners it depreciated a ton. I payed 90 bucks to get a complete inspection of the vehicle which checked all the boxes and the vehicle was in ideal condition in every regard. I heard the reliability on these engines especially post 2011 is outstanding. It's been out since early 2000s and continuously refined for the gs. The 7 speed auto is also knows for its durability and its rear wheel biased on demand AWD system retains the fun RWD characteristics while giving you fun in the snow with up to 50% added power in the front when needed. It came with bose sound system and still has all hard buttons for volume, tuning, presets and so on, which I love. Hydraulic power steering is still used which I love. In addition the growl of this V6 especially during initial startup is great. This vehicle checked off all the boxes for me and to this day I still haven't found a vehicle as balanced as this one. Well.... maybe except the q50 which is more expensive. This is why whenever you posted bad remarks on the infinitis due to nissan/renault merger I always was waiting for you to exclude the g35/37s.

I had a 2009 Versa hatchback. I really liked that car. If you bought that car and got the 6 spd manual or the 4 spd auto, you got a good one. The CVTs were crap but that's not the car's fault. Good engines, good design, lots of space inside, rode smooth like a big car and super reliable. I had mine 8 years and it never broke on me. The only thing I ever had to do was replace a dead battery once and the tires once. Other than that it was perfect. I'd still be driving it if somebody hadn't pulled out in front of me and totalled the thing.
