"Did my homework and happy with my A"
Pros: Creature Features, Power, Styling... Yum Yum
Cons: Lousy Mileage so far...
Summary: I test drove a 2007 Audi A4 V6, BMW 335 the same day I test drove the G35. As a previous Audi A4 Quattro owner, I was truly looking to replace it with another A4, but the prices are through the roof as are the BMW?s when you start loading options as compared to the G35. Yes I know German cars are known for performance and this is worth the $$$ to some. I feel the performance of the G35 is not far behind that of the BMW 335 and exceeds that of the A4. I just can?t see putting an extra $9k into a BMW 335xi when I can buy the loaded G35X. By the way the 4WD BMW 335xi won?t be out until later this year. A loaded A4 V6 Quattro will put you back about $43k where the G35X (loaded) is about $39K
I read all the editor reviews for the new 2007 G35 as well as 325/335 & A4. Most editors raved about this car and the changes made for 2007. But more important to me is the user reviews (you & I) which I scanned from multiple web sites. Users I feel are much less forgiving when it comes to negative issue(s) and much more critical of annoyances & benefits. The only issue I had seen repeatedly is the low mileage on the G which I can attest. Hey it is a 3.5 V6 with 306HP, what do you expect? I don?t know where they got 25 hwy miles for I have yet to break 20 on the open road. But if you can afford this car, you shouldn?t be crying at the pump.
The features I like most is the touch screen Nav upgrade with 9 GB internal HD for MP3s, great Bluetooth system for phone usage, great sounding stereo & very comfortable front seats. Some of the dash controls are a bit tricky to find in the dark, but in time this should pass once I know where to ?feel?. Rain sensing wipers, user select high speed warning & auto locks when the cars is in drive would be some nice features
Infinity offers a bumper to bumper 4 yr 50,000 warranty as does BMW, but Audi now charges an extra $550 for this upgrade!
I have only owned the car a little over a week, and I must say I am a happy camper!

I have to agree with Jack on almost all points..I test drove the beamer as well, and found Infiniti G35 to be not that far behind.
Gas mileage isn't great, but what do you expect with a 310 HP?
One only complaint..ONE infiniti dealership in all of Oregon and 2 total in the NW. No competition leads them set their prices way too close to MSRP. Wasn't fun dealing with them, but the car was too compelling and my Number one choice!
I am a happy camper too! (so far)
