The 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible blends plenty of standard features with upscale options to make most luxury convertible shoppers happy.

First and foremost, the convertible top’s operation is a simple affair, taking “30 seconds to dance elegantly into its hatch,” Popular Mechanics reports. When the top goes down, the G37 Convertible adapts; it can be outfitted with “heated and cooled seats…and even a climate-control system that will adjust the fan according to speed.”

The convertible-specific features also include “an optional adaptive climate control system and the Bose Open Air sound system with headrest-mounted speakers,” Edmunds says, as well as “an available mesh wind blocker [that] keeps air buffeting to a minimum at freeway-plus speeds.”

Standard features on the 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible include “leather seats, a double-hand-stitched leather steering wheel (with multifunction buttons for audio and cruise control), dual-zone climate control, a rearview monitor system and a six-speaker CD audio system with MP3 and satellite radio capabilities,” Edmunds says. Optional in packages are features like Bluetooth, Adaptive Climate Control, a 13-speaker Bose Open Air sound system, and the “optional sport seats…(part of the Sport package),” Edmunds adds, which “offer a superb combination of lateral support and comfort.”

Among the options, Infiniti’s “Bose 'Studio on Wheels' premium audio system with iPod connectivity" and a "Music Box 9.3-gigabyte digital music storage unit" are worthwhile features, reports ForbesAutos. And while its controls are simple to figure out, Edmunds wishes there were more “audio adjustment options in the G37 convertible, as both the standard system and the optional Bose system give you only treble, bass, balance and fader controls to play with.”

Conclusion

The 2009 Infiniti G37 Convertible is full-featured, and sports options that make its top-down driving experience even better.

Other Choices:

The Infiniti G37 Convertible stacks up against all these hardtop convertibles with four seats and fine performance, and it’s easily the best-looking of the bunch. The Volvo C70 springs for a Scandinavian-inspired interior, turbocharged engines, and a great Dynaudio sound system. The BMW 3-Series Convertible adds about as much weight to its Coupe cousin as does the G37, but its handling is somewhat sharper and its look a little less pleasing. The VW Eos is a Consumer Reports favorite for its top-down action, dual-clutch transmission, and quality interior trim, but it’s less attractive than the G37 Convertible.

    Not sure if the reviewers for the Infiniti G37 Convertible have ever actually been in one but I just bought one and couldn't be more disappointed with virtually every aspect but the styling. The car handles like a Lincoln Town Car - mushy with a huge amount of lean into every turn. The interior looks nice but every day brings further realization of just how unfriendly and inconvenient it is. You cannot reach into the side door pocket with the doors closed because the door handles are in the way. The cup holder lid doesn't open wide enough to fit a cup of coffee without it tipping over or popping the lid off. The GPS system doesn't lower the stereo system sound, so you can barely hear directions. The seat belts are nearly impossible to reach. The seat control like lumbar support are inadequate. The seat position control that is supposed to permit easier access to the rear seat, forces the seats forward and jams the headrests under the sun visors. It's impossible to step on the emergency break without rubbing against the side wall...something that will certainly cost me when the lease ends. The cruise control disables in even a light drizzle. The backup screen system has no warning beep that alerts you when you come to close to an object behind the car. Essentially, the car looks beautiful but is a piece of crap. It appears that the car was very poorly planned, possibly in a rush to get it to market.

    Albert, really? Sounds like you just don't understand how your car works or you've never owned a convertible before. Did you even drive other models? I drove them all and the G37 by far outperforms the Lexus and BMW, the SL500 on the otherhand was awesome but I'm not spending $80k on a car. I can't find a better hard top convertible for the money and I don't think anyone else can either.
    First off, there's a latch so your seatbelt is always attached to the seat. The lumbar is fantastic. I've never had a problem wtih the visor, nor am I marking up my side wall. Could it be you're not careful or you have wider feet than me? Perhaps. My cruise control is awesome, but I never use it in the rain, you're not supposed to, read the horror stories of people who use their cruise control in the rain. There's a depth finder on the backup screen so you know how far back something is. Would you continue to back up if you knew something was there even without the backup camera or sensors? No, stop whining.
    Essentially, the car is fantastic, I love it more than any other car I've ever driven. Opinions differ, however, I'll go on loving mine every day and you're going to be miserable, but I suspect it's more than the car that's ruining your day.
