OK - my fourth post on my blog, and the pet peeves start coming out.
I’m really sick of the amount of noise these Infinitis make. These two models (the G35 and FX35 in particular) make a really loud rumble, especially with acceleration. Considering that these cars could make almost no noise with current technology, Infiniti clearly engineered this rumble. But for whom? The owners? For those of us who live on busy streets or who like to walk, these cars are a real nuisance. They may not be as loud as Porsches, but there are a lot more of them out there.
And here’s how I know I’m a real kook: I dug around for other people complaining about the noise of these cars, and I just can’t find anything. Anyone see anything? Anyone agree?
I guess all I can do is to vote with my wallet; I’ll never buy an Infiniti.

I have a new 2007 G35 w/5000mi and have taken it to the dealer with no response to this complaint. My NASCAR engine friend comments that it sounds as if the air cleaner is out. It is really most noisy at 60 mph. I won’t accept this.

I have 2008 FX35, and yeh, the exhaust is a bit noisy.. however, what is irritating me the most the the driver seat rubbing against the door column every time I turn right. Nissan/ Inifiniti don’t really care about this cause they said it is not a safety issue.
