INFINITY G37 MANUAL

The standard and sport transmission modes are perfectly adequate for tooling around town or tackling a moderately challenging B-road, respectively. As the sedan and I approach the apex, the gearbox pops back into the now lower gear and higher engine speed, suddenly reapplying an increased level of engine braking and causing the chassis to lurch forward and throw its weight back over the front axle, scaring the absolute crap out of me as I (and the traction control system) wrestle to keep the rear end of the sedan behind the front.ĭrawing enjoyment out of the G37 Sedan turned out to be an exercise in the management of expectations. The gearbox decides that now is the perfect time for shifting and momentarily pops out of the current gear to match the revs for the downshift, canceling all engine braking and causing the car to lurch and toss its weight to the rear axle. By now, I've slowed to the appropriate cornering speed and am easing off the brakes and beginning to turn the wheel. Instead of immediately changing gear, the G37 hesitates for a moment while it decides what needs to happen. The play-by-play went something like this:Īs I approach a corner, I grab the paddle shifter for a downshift in preparation for the turn.

However, the manual shift mode itself left much to be desired and was actually rather annoying.

Tapping the admittedly well-made optional magnesium paddle shifters felt rewarding to the fingertips.

The VQ-series engine beneath the hood of the G37 Sedan displaces 3.7 liters and outputs 328 horsepower.
