    infiniti g35 coupe

    Think of buying an 06 used low mileage one. Any of you guys have one. Just curios if you like it/ hate it?

    I'm not set on that car but my wife likes the looks of it.

    my friend has the coupe and its very nice. one of my other friends parents has the m35 and thats equally very nice. the m35 was highest rated car in consumer reports a couple years ago, but i like the g's more.

    g37 would be a lot nicer if you can get one though.

    it depends what other car we keep on if i could get a new g37. My car is paid off hers isnt. So if we keep hers i dont know if i want as high of a payment with a new g37

    yeah i didn't think they were nearly that cheap either. a friend of mine got an 08 a4 with the s line, and that was 40k new. so i'm assuming an actually s is gonna be much more. an s4 starts in the 50s, and rs is pushing 60k.

    i highly doubt an s5 will fit in the price range if a g37 is pushing it, but they are VERY nice cars. a kid at my apartment complex has one, and any time he is driving behind me, i find myself looking out the back window a lot more than the front lol

    Go for it. I think it's a good looking car but I really don't see it as a mans car.

    i would think its a guy car too. they try to be sporty while still being classy. although the 45 would be more manly.

    What's the difference between the two. I was picturing the 350z when I read it was the g35. I thought they were basically the same car? Doesn't one corporation own both or something?

    The 350z looks like a catfish, the g35 does not. And yes, Nissan Motors owns Infiniti.

    I think getting a used 06 is a good call, since the body style has been out for awhile, you should be able to get a good price and value for your money.
    It makes a good dudes car, I would almost say more a guys car than a girls car imo, so that comment confuses me.

    not many under $100K cars sound as sweet as the VQ's in the G35/37, 350Z. The dashes are a little non-luxurious, but other than that its a nice ride. I want to pick one up when our STi lease it up

    Buy it, then tell us how awesome it is. I look at it like this, for the money, you could buy a faster car (z06 vette) or a more luxurious car (Lexus/Mercedes) but you're not going to find many cars that have a nice balance between the two for the price. The only thing that bothers me is the gas mileage... Why does a corvette with over 400 HP get better gas mileage

    Gearing. The G35 is geared lower to make more use of its torque range. Plus its a heavy car, 3900lbs I believe. Vette is 3100 depending on model

    Thanks for clearing that up. Never realized the g was that heavy. Oh well, comes with the luxury I guess.

    where can you get a zo6 for the same price as a g35?

    I would get another Mercedes. Thats what i used to have she likes the g35 and unfortanitly its for her

    same car, basically. same engine, maybe a little different tuning. and yes, nissan owns both, like honda and acura, lexus and toyota, ford and mercury. just the more upscale version per say.

    lol yes jbm, they aren't the kind of car i would do much to. tints, maybe a very conservative body, maybe rims but similar size and not too flashy. otherwise it makes no sense not to buy a 350 in my mind.

    is there a big performance difference between the g35 and the 350z?

    same driveline but the chassis is reinforced completely different. I had to learn this while modding these cars for track use (cages etc) 350Z is more rigid

    i would guess a little, like maybe a few tenths 0-60. i'm guessing the 350 is a fair amount lighter, and maybe more tuned for performance.

    a sportier car being more rigid shouldn't be a surprise to anyone..

    I've seen two c5 z06's go for under 20k in the past month. Mileage was between 40-60k. They're not easy to find but they're out there.
