While browsing for a great import all-wheel drive sedan, I came across the newly (slightly) redesigned BMW 535xi, and what struck me was how similar that car was to what I already have – 2007 Infiniti G35x. Of course this comparison isn’t apple-to-apple as 535xi competes against Infiniti M35x, but this is a better test [...]

Well I hit 5,000km mark on my 2007 Infiniti G35x… which means it’s time for the scheduled maintenance. According to the maintenance log (which isn’t available online), first service includes replacing engine oil and filter as well as inspection of lights, brake fluid, clutch fluid, differential oil, engine air filter, engine coolant level, engine drive [...]

After reading the glowing review of 2008 BMW 535i by Edmunds, I was partially convinced that it was a great choice for the next car (replacement for the aging 2004 Infiniti FX35 due for return later this year). However there are few issues, some beyond BMW’s control, that have now convinced the car isn’t worth [...]

Now that almost 4,500 km has been put on the car, and I’ve finally got a chance to drive long distance, I have several observations to make concerning how the car is shaping up to be.
First, the car feels natural on the highways: with great acceleration, it’s incredibly easy to merge into highway and pass [...]

Troubling news out of Nissan this morning: according to the automaker, the intelligent key for 2007 Altima as well as 2007 G35 sedans may be rendered completely useless if you put it next to a cell phone during a call. Apparently it will erase the software inside the fob, and this is irreversible. Which means [...]

Now that my car (2007 Infiniti G35x) has been driven for more than 2,000kms, I have couple of observations to make, mostly having to do with the electronic components of the vehicle.
No mute, no pause
I find this very puzzling but I was unable to find a “mute” button in the audio system. I opted for [...]

Even though it’s been less than a month since I got my 2007 Infiniti G35x, I had to make 3 trips to the dealership to fix 1 single problem: tire pressure warning. As it is with other modern cars, my G35x came equipped with tire pressure sensors but so far they’ve been nothing but trouble.
It [...]

Even though I’ve already purchased 2007 Infiniti G35x, many people still continue to ask me why I didn’t go for the BMW 3-series… so I’m hoping to end all debates (unlikely) with G35x vs 328xi feature. Specifications comparison:
