I like it more than I thought I would. Love the VK50, motor has plenty of low end grunt and pulls smoothly all the way up. The steering is quite heavy, heavier than my Z (275/35/19 front tires) and G sedan. The initial turn-in was the biggest surprise, as it's sharper than I imagined very little body roll. It shares 7AT and Akebonos with Z and G.
On the flip side, this car swallows gasoline. Car seems to be stiffly sprung, and the 21 inch wheels and low profile 265/45/21 tires don't help ride comfort at all. OEM tire size has an extremely limited selection, and many enthusiasts switch to 275/45/21. Trunk is quite small. The designer believed in form over function. It's not an SUV designed for hauling furniture. Think X6, not X5.
One known problem was one of the fuel sensors malfunctioning causing gas gauge to read empty. Mine failed @ around 65k miles. There's a TSB for it and cost few hundred bucks to fix at the infiniti dealership I went to.
