sorry man. i have to disagree again. i own both an infiniti G20t and a CSVT. i love both cars, but i wouldn't look at another Ford, not because I don't consider myself a Ford buyer, but because the cars are ages apart regarding reliability and fit-n-finish. there simply is no comparison. when the SVT first came out, there was a 3-way road test between te Audi A4, CSVT, and G20t. Depsite the fact that all three cars were in the same price bracket, the CSVT did not come out on top because the quality simply wasn't there. (the G20t was lacking in power, and the Audi was $3k more than the other 2).




are you sure you read that article right...because the article i read comparing those three cars,the svt owned those cars in almost every catagory...and the CLEAR winner in that shootout was the svt....the ONLY thing any of the testers said negatively about the svt,was that the mnb interior looked sort of purplish in the sun...i have that very article printed from online and the svt owned both of those cars in the shootout......

i also disagree about the fact that the g20 is some superior vehicle in quality...a co worker of mine has one i was NOT that impressed with the fit and finish of his car...felt kinda cheap inside imo...its a decent car and all,but not superior to an svt..i certainly wouldn't say it was light years ahead of the svt in quality by no means...the g20 is kinda the bottom line infinity,another coworkers(cant remember the model)larger,sort of older larger infinity is miles ahead of the g20 in quality...



yah..um..baco...what're u talking about? it beat them both



i remember reading about serious fit and finish issues with the CSVT. the words "brute" and "unrefined" come to mind. i know it knocked them both on the track, but not overall...

and i'm not sure what year G20 your friend has, but maybe he doesn't take care of it. just look at the leather on the seats. much different quality. our G20 looks as new as the day we bought it and the CSVT looks ok, but lived in. its a totally different qualityof material. and the dash doesn't lift up on the infiniti either. and the floor mats are better quality and haven't worn through. the list goes on and on.

i know people won't believed me and i'm not saying the G20t is the best thing since sliced bread and internet porn, but it's far and above a better car than anything ford makes in terms of quality.
