Safety

I didn’t feel safe driving the rear-wheel-drive G37 on Michigan’s snowy roads, but I was comforted by the G37’s extensive passive and active safety systems. I really liked that it had a front stabilizer bar and speed-sensitive power steering.

The Infiniti G37 is also equipped with six airbags, including front-, side-impact and side curtain airbags for both rows. It has antilock brakes, an electronic stability system and traction control, an emergency interior trunk release and a first-aid kit.

The G37’s rear window is small, but I didn’t have any problems with blind spots. There’s a backup camera that comes with the optional Navigation Package.

The Latch connectors were difficult to access. The G37 has what I call the “closed-curtain” Latch connector housing; the Latch hook is buried behind two pieces of fabric that you have to hold open with your ring and middle fingers to access. That’s a real pain.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: A rear-facing infant-safety seat won’t fit well in this second row.
In School: School-age kids will have a blast in the backseat, but make sure your booster seat will work well with the side-bolstered backseat.
Teens: I recommend that this car be kept far, far away from teen drivers.
