What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Infiniti G
| Price of the Infiniti G: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Bang for the buck over the Lexus. Payments comparable to IS250 due to their horrible "December to Remember" lease rates, but performance comparable to IS350. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | 3-series performance without the payment, better pricing on options |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Tehse cars are an exceptional bargain. There is no sport sedan that can beat G35 on the combination of driving dynamics an dprice and still be on a luxury side. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | For what you get its very inexpensive. Comparable cars from other brands run a few thousand more |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | This car had the best value to price ration between the cars I was looking for, not just performance-wise. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | excellent value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Cheaper than Lexus and BMW |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Dollar for Dollar, nice value even at list. Dealers offered discounts even at redesign launch. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Felt I got a good price. More bang-for-the-buck than say a BMW. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Price of car was great compared to similar alternatives. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Car is enough of a bargain vs comparable models to more than offset extra $$$ spent on gas. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | I happened to get a great deal on mine new |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | A lot of Bang for the Buck |

| Price of the Infiniti G: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD | About $5K higher than a similar Subaru Legacy GT Ltd. That said, the intangibles and subtle plusses on the G probably represent value for the difference. |
| 2010 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 325-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | No deals when I bought it, so the payment seems high. The cost of the car is not out of line. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | The base G37 is about $5K over the base Maxima. It handles better but looks androgynous. Numbers performance is a wash and I hated the transmission. That was a dealbreaker that overwhelmed the RWD advantages. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Like any other luxury car, the G is expensive. However, this is not a complete dislike since the G is one of the best bang-for-buck cars in the class. Still a $45k car fully loaded though. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Over $4K higher out-the-door than TL with the same equipment/features |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | would like to pay less |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Like any car of this class, it is more expensive than an Accord! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Parts on this car are expensive and so is an oil change. Tires wear quickly, but thats expected out of any "sports" machine wearing a very soft tire compound. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Fully loaded 6-speed manual car sells about 40k+ |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD | ...the G35 coupe with the 6-speed would have been just under $40 grand including CA sales tax, license plates and dorkumentation fee. That is almost exactly $15,000 higher than the total price of the Honda Accord 6-speed coupe. $15k buys a lot of beer |
| 2004 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | For the price of this car, I should have FAR fewer issues. |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | The car is paid for but some might find it expensive. Tires cost $1000 a year if you keep good summer tires and a winter set. |

| Price of the Lexus ES: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price of the car is about $5,000 too much in my opinion considering it lacks several features other much less expensive cars include standard that Lexus charges outrageous prices to add (such as satellite radio and remote start). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | For the price of the ES, which I paid under invoice, I could have nearly paid for two 4-cylinder Camrys. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Beautiful, deep paint color. Solid feel to hood, doors, and trunk. Interior materials look expensive even without wood trim. |

Quality. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Look close, see the great subtle Asian influence. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
high quality |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
interior is well appointed, quality leather and good styling |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Luxuriously pleasing. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
First rate engineering and material selection. Attention to detail is well above average - much higher than expected at this price point. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
while the interior materials on the 2004 were not very high quality, it was very nicely out together |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
46k miles now and no rattles, even with the racing abuse I put it through. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Good engineering and pride in workmanship is evident; better materials used than one might expect in this price range. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
the leather is of good quality, not of some cheap fake leather other companies use |
| 2003 | 2dr Coupe 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Exterior panels fit very well. Interior uses nicely textured plastics, with a few touches of Aluminum (not too much since Aluminum dents and scratches easily). Leather and carpeting seem to be holding up well. Controls have good tactile quality. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Kinda of flaky on the inside. The front console is already making noise when AC is on and only 600km on my car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Interior not up to par with other car in the same price rang. Steering wheel material start of pill off |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Not the level of refinement available from the Germans. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 298-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
wish it was a nice as the 2008 |
