Year | Comment | |
The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata 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 |

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 |

Way to small to be of use with anything but children. see full Infiniti G review |
