Summary of the Infiniti G37 Coupe (2008-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Refined interior, plenty of power on tap.

Drawbacks

Ride a little on the crashy side, cabin lacks space, even for a coupe.

Verdict

The G37 Coupe is interesting, but currently has some room for improvement before it can match the BMW 3-Series Coupe.

Infiniti G37 Coupe Review

Running Costs3 out of 5

There's only one engine option with the G37 Coupe, the 3.7-litre petrol unit, so it's not exactly going to be the cheapest car to run.

The official US fuel economy figures suggest around 25mpg on the combined cycle, which will mean real-world consumption in the high teens or early twenties and, with petrol prices going the way they are, you'll have to have a premium level of disposable income to be able to afford to run this Infiniti.

There are no quoted CO2 figures for the US version of the car, but we'll stick our necks out and suggest they'll be around the 280-300g/km mark, putting it in the top Band M under the new road tax system being introduced in 2009 - so if you buy one new from 2010 onwards, you'll have to pay £950 in the first year and £455 in subsequent years.

Infiniti will also have its own plush dealerships, so maintenance costs are likely to be slightly higher than for an equivalent Nissan, but should still undercut those of the premium German manufacturers. If you wanted to reduce your servicing bills you could book your Infiniti in at the Nissan dealership.
