When I bought my RSX in '05 I really wanted an '03 G35 coupe, but couldn't make the numbers work. They're great cars. I never did test drive one, but the interior was pretty nice. Do you need rear doors for clients? The coupes are a lot easier to find in a manual (and look a TON better).

I saw a Legacy 2.5GT (probably about a 2008) on my way in to work today. It was lowered a bit, black with black rims and a nicely sized dual exhaust. It looked HOT.

waiting for reechy to chime in.


the few times I drove it, I liked the brakes (brembo) and the handling was pretty good. it does ride extremely hard however and the interior wasn't comfortable

less engine problems from what i've heard. non rev-up engines in this model and the 06+ have a better looking set of tails.

i can't really explain. let me try to find a link
infiniti TSB http://g35driver.com/forums/tsb-tech...ption-tsb.html

and i was wrong about the generations. i had it backwards
but i have read that 05+> 03-04 as far as reliability and interior design

:edit: As much as I would love an STi, I don't think it's quite big enough in the back seat department, and definitely not quite right image-wise h:
wait, you meant a G35 SEDAN?? Ugh dude that thing is uglier than a war wound. Now the M35s, thats a nicer car. Or you can get 03-04 Lexus LS430's for 15 range, I had one and it was a great car. Quick, too.

M35 and Lexus LS are both way too big for my tastes. I'm looking for something G35/LGT/3-series sized.

I'm also looking at e46. Is there a reason the only sedans I can find on CL are xi? I think if I were to get a bmw, I'd want the 2wd version, but they're all coupes :eh:
