Very comfortable, performs when you need it to, and has all the toys you need. I don't discourage anyone from getting it. I am switching to the 370z, however for the following reasons:

- I am 21 years old, and the G IMO is made for a more distinguished and mature person because its a more professional car...I figure that as long as I'm young I might as well drive a true sports car as a daily driver and not a luxury coupe

- I was tired of driving my roommates around and trying to squeeze 4 people's grocery run's in the already limited amount of space lol (i.e. less car pooling as mentioned before)

- you do not give up many luxuries when moving from a G to a fully loaded 370 which makes the transition easier

- the look/feel of the car is more sporty (little noise reduction as compared to the G and a more performance-oriented stance for improved handling over the G)

- I really like the persimmon interior which was a major selling point for me

- Syncro Rev match is awesome and makes you feel like a professional (which I'm not)




Now I will go through the reasons I enjoyed the G so much:

- more comfortable for longer trips (my school is about 2 hours from home and I come home quite frequently)

- perceived as more of a gentleman, especially my gf's parents (which I'm not sure is 100% accurate but I'll take it)

- stock exhaust sounds better than the Z's IMO (but since I'm ordering the Stillen CBE for the Z, this is not bothersome)

- the laser cruise control system helped on longer drives as well

- it was a bit more understated than my old red 350z which made a noticable difference in the amount of attention I got from cops

- for some reason, I didn't feel as guilty for driving it in the rain/snow, maybe because its more of a lux-coupe rather than a sports car





I think ultimately, it depends on what you're looking for. Sports Car or Lux-Coupe (as previously stated)? Each has its benefits and drawbacks.

hope this helps.
Well stated.

I think ideally, I'd want one of each. When I'm feeling reserved and in a business suit, I take the G. When I'm feeling like donning relaxing attire and a loud pair of Oakley's, I take the Z.

I wish I didn't trade in my G for my Z. I wish I kept them BOTH.

(enter Kenchan.... he is my idol... he has both!!!)
