370z vs G37X Coupe

iinviktus · 04-17-2009, 02:49 PM

I love my G37 coupe, and that's a good price quote. Compared to the 370Z I test drove, the interior of the G is quite a bit nicer, but its less connected to the road. The acceleration isn't much different feeling, but I'm sure the Z is a bit quicker. Since you're older, I would pick the G if you are looking for a daily driver, Z for a weekend car. Either way, you can't lose. The VQ37 is great and the updates to the trans/suspension are wonderful.

I owned a 05 G35S and test drove the G37xS. The G37 is great sporty car with the same engine as the 370Z. It comes with more creature comforts, is quieter but still goes quick when you put your foot down. The Z is definitely quicker no question, but it comes down to a personal preference between comfort and performance.

As an every day driver I would take the G37x no question, especially given your location. You don't get a lot of snow on the cape but you can still get a fair bit. The AWD system works well, and amazingly well with the right tires. If you took the Z you would have to consider what you would do in the winter.

I have to take exception to this statement. Hell, I've got nearly ten years on the OP and mine is my daily driver (6,492 miles on the odometer as I write this). Age is irrelevant and BTW, here's my weekend ride.

Perhaps you should read the OP again. He mentions his age being a factor and considered the G37 because he didn't want something too focused.
