Infiniti G35 Coupe

phares1 · 02-10-2006, 02:04 PM

Since people seem to have opinions about all types of cars I figured I would ask here.....what are your thoughts on owning an Infiniti G35 Coupe over the WRX.... looking for something with sports car performance for < 35K but need four seats, and I like the look of the G35

athakur999 · 02-10-2006, 02:11 PM

The only knock I have against them is that I see roughly 4000 of them a day.

Do you plan on having adults in the backseat very often? The backseat in the G35 coupe isn't too bad space wise but it's still not a place I'd like to be stuck for more than a few minutes.

Spider Pig · 02-10-2006, 02:12 PM

^I agree.

But the car is GORGEOUS.

nathansvt · 02-10-2006, 02:14 PM

The 6sp with brembos in black or blue is ... so sweet.

stickman · 02-10-2006, 02:15 PM

why not a STi.??

beats the crap out of the G35.
but if ur looking for luxury then its a cool car.

phares1 · 02-10-2006, 02:23 PM

so i post this and in 4 minutes i have responses...dont you people have jobs...just kidding i look around all day too....i dont care about adults being comfortable in the car except for the one in the drivers seat (me)...other than that will mostly be using the back to haul 2 kids....want more luxury than STI...although it would probably be best just sticking with my fully paid for WRX

finnRex · 02-10-2006, 02:28 PM

Would you consider a Legacy GT? They're a good family vehicle with some powAr to boot.

I think the g35 handles better. but under powered but theres always twin turbo kits available.Oh yah I don't like the way the clutch feels on or off no room for slipping.

AlanWRX · 02-10-2006, 02:36 PM

I traded my '02 WRX in for a G35 coupe about a year ago. I love my G35, it looks great, handles pretty good and has enough power to have a little fun every now and then. IMO it doesn't compare to having an STi but they are two very different cars. I have an athens blue G35 so I have only seen two others in that color since I bought mine. There are a ton of them on the road though. I don't think that you would be dissapointed if you picked one up.

yeah if ur WRX is paid off then keep it and just swap in a ver7 motor and tranny.

if u have the cash, get an audi rs4 or 6 or whatever it is.

or wait til the skyline comes out

Big_Hitter · 02-10-2006, 03:25 PM

there was a guy on this forum who gave his stage 2 WRX to his brother and got a g35 and said it was teh slowar

DanzBorin · 02-10-2006, 03:36 PM

The 6-speed has 298 horsepower and 260 ft. lbs of torque. It's pretty heavy, but definitely not underpowered. And the 6-speed is awesome.

Only problem with introducing forced induction into the G35's is that you'd have to get forged internals.

Still a darn nice ride though. If I had my choice, I'd probably pick a LGT. Less booty to get, but more booty haulin' action...

You must blink alot, I see 6000/day

But I agree, HOT cars nonetheless.

My friend has the most decked out one you can get and it's pretty nice. Amazingly though for a premium car there are many squeaks and rattles. Good handling, great exhaust note, and plenty of torque are it's strengths IMHO.

2 completely different cars between WRX and G35. G35 more luxurious. why not go for a 350z?

Because it's way overpriced and fugly.

TKRbeast · 02-10-2006, 05:18 PM

I dont think so, but you have your opinion and i have mine.

I was going through the same thing a few months ago because the G35 and the STI were my final choices. But from your statement above, I think you may have made your choice already. I wanted more performance, less luxury so that's how I ended up with the STI. If you want more comfort, the G35 will give it to you and I think the coupe is a great looking car. Even though it has a lot of power, its weight prevents it from feeling as nimble. But I'm sure it will be fun to drive and you'll definitely be more pampered.

The G35 is getting a little long in the tooth, though. Have you considered the new BMW 3-series? It's topped a lot of comparison tests, but I had to rule it out because with the engine and options I wanted it put it out of my budget.

One more thing, I've learned that what is "best" is not always what you want.

notyet227 · 02-10-2006, 06:22 PM

just get the lexus IS350 or an acura TL G35's are very sexy in that bright red color with some 20" deep dish wheels. with the brembos and lowered just a lil bit. with the 6 speed of course. the IS350 is sexy also.

Xtant · 02-10-2006, 06:27 PM

The WRX can't hold a candle to the G35. The 35 has more power stock and it's interior is light years better than the WRX. You do pay for the luxury however. If you have the money to spend it's a no brainer for a comfortable nice daily driving car. If you are more concerned with performance and speed then look at a WRX as they are more easily moddable.
