Pros- Sexy, Pretty fast
Cons- Heavy, sh*tty interior (from what I heard), only 04 has the Brembo brake option

03 and 04, because in 05 they gave ALL models bigger brakes. I have no idea where you get the "sh*tty interior" comment from. No one I've seen has said that, and I sell Infiniti parts for a living.Originally Posted by chituntang

Personally, I have had no rattling problems and the non-brembo brakes worked surprisingly well under track conditions. Here are my pro's/con's list for you based on my experience and complaints I hear from other owners.
Cons:
1. Heavy (3500 lbs) and therfore needs lots of power to be "fast". Bolt ons won't do much for increasing HP.
2. Semi-large blind spot
3. Expensive to mod (or so I hear, never modded a honda or anything). I was very happy with the difference some relatively cheap items like sways and strut bar made
4. Requires modification to completely turn traction control off. It's not too hard though.
Pros:
1. Overall one of the better cars in this price range (good blend of performance, looks, and comfort)
2. Plenty of vendors for parts
3. Large helpful community
Of course as always, determining if it's the right car for you depends on what you are looking for. If you wanna drag car, this is not the one for you. Be glad to answer specific questions if you got em.
