2011 | 0 | The headrests on the two front seats are a NIGHTMARE! I had to recline my driver's seat slightly because the headrest pushes my head and neck so far forward, it was causing me to have pain and spasms in my neck and shoulders! I don't know who signed of on this design, but they were clearly asleep that day! I've heard this issue has been addressed in newer models and (I think) there is a newer option for which you can swap out these awful headrests. I may look into that... see full Buick Enclave review |

2010 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Spacious and comfortable seats see full Infiniti G review |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I love the roominess of the rear seats. Most of my family are moderately large (6ft 220lbs). Two can fit in the back comfortably. see full Infiniti G review |

2010 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Smaller than the Maxima. Third person would be uncomfortable, less knee room. The plastic trough behind the front seat is too low. see full Infiniti G review |
2010 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 325-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The rear seat is basically a storage area. No one can sit back there! But its really no different than the rear of any convertible. (like my Mercedes Benz CLK350) see full Infiniti G review |

Seats in back are cramped. Once the kids hit teenage years they are not going to be happy back there for long rides. see full Infiniti G review |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Seems smaller than the G35, no rear reclining seats anymore and the headrests stick up a bit more than the old car. see full Infiniti G review |
2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
The bolstering is excessive in the lowest setting and the seat belt pulls too hard on my chest. The seat belt also digs into my neck. see full Infiniti G review |
2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Way to small to be of use with anything but children. see full Infiniti G review |
