or
2009 370z Sport base. 19 inch wheels but with bucket seats, single CD player no sunroof, no dual climate control, no power seats.

2008 G37s has the 6speed MT - which my wife is not looking forward to driving
2009 370z has the 7speed AT with paddle shifters. My wife is a fan of those.

Easy choice.

One is a sport car.
The other one is a wannabe.

Do you want a sport car or a wannabe?

And if you don't know which one is a sport car...sorry i can't help then.

oo7mech · 12-11-2009, 12:30 AM

There is my problem.
I got the Z because we [wife and i] wanted a sport car.
But we like the "Wannabe" because its soo loaded!

Wow...are you serious with that comment?! The G is what it is, its a luxury coupe, it's not trying to be a sports car. To the OP, it sounds like you're more interested in luxury than you are with performance. If so, the G sounds like the car for you.

Rnmovr12 · 12-11-2009, 03:13 PM

im not big on luxury items in cars so id stick with the Z

The G is supposed to be faster according to Road & Track I've read somewhere. So I wouldn't say the G isn't sporty or doesn't have performance.

But, I went with the Z ! It was soo hard though. Felt like i was loosing my Old' Yeller. But definatly happy with my Z.

The kicker was being young and getting a race-car now. Luxury car later when we are older and hopefully have more money to afford a brand new one.

Good Choice, I think. I would have preferred a newer car to a used for the same price, albeit without all the amenities. Luxury cars can be for later in life.

considering the hit you'll take by selling the G, i'd say keep the G. You WILL miss the features.

phelan · 12-11-2009, 12:40 AM

...why did you just buy two cars within a one week timespan?? i can't even begin to fathom that one.

if both you and your wife will be driving, keep the 370Z. sure you'll miss the features, but at least your wife won't be whining about how much she hates the manual transmission.

Without going into the long detailed story. Right now NEITHER car is mine. We have to go back today to resign contracts on the Z which means I could possibly return it.

The G is on loan until my wife can sign her part of the paper work today.

Hey, as long as she's still willing to put up with the manual transmission and not complain, go for the G. Otherwise...it's gonna be a looooooooooong drive together when she's driving.

Just imagine the

over the manual transmission.

Honestly, though, it sounds like you're already leaning towards the G anyway, so enjoy your Infiniti
