The 2012 Infiniti G37 Convertible gets no Limited Edition Package.If you’ve seen the banner ads sprinkled all over the Web, you know the Infiniti G37 is one of the most heavily marketed cars around. We finally had a chance to spend a week driving the G37 sedan in a variety of conditions: on curvy roads in the country, on a long four-hour drive, and in everyday commuting conditions. The biggest takeaway: this is one of the best-handling sedans on the road, with a sleek styling that hints at the Infiniti M37x, but in a smaller package that’s fun to drive and has plenty of acceleration power.
As with any Infiniti, there’s a fine balance between elegant styling and a sporty drive, and the G37 seems to cater to both equally. There’s a slide out thigh support on the Infiniti G37 that provides a little more comfort, especially on long drives. On the long drive, the cocooning seat felt a bit cramped and caused some back strain, but provides a sure driving experience because you feel nestled into the seat and can easily reach the controls and feel curves in the road.
There’s enough head-snapping punch to draw evil stares from passengers.
Infiniti does use independent front and rear suspension and the power steering responds differently depending on your speed level. What this meant on our test drives was that the Infiniti G37 handled smooth around corners, and the smaller size meant the car felt like it was going faster than it really was.
The cruise control does not change speeds when the car senses another vehicle, and there are no blind-spot detectors. Other small sedans tend to make your music sound like it is mixed in a blender. Infiniti rates the Infiniti G37 at 18 mpg for city driving and 25 mpg for highway.
