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!!!)

Ya that would definitely be ideal!

Looked at a G35 several years agp. Of course, it was advertised as "the best car in it's class". When I asked the salesperson how it compared to a Z, their only response was "different class".
Of course, I liked the looks of the G35 a lot more than the 350z; especially with the rear spoiler. It was a nice car, but it was like driving a pillow.
I'm glad I waited and got a 370. Love EVERYTHING!!!

because the 370z looks better, imo.

mine drives pretty razor sharp with its mods.

G35C and 370Z are two completely different cars though and thats why i like keeping them both.

I always looked at it as the G is a womens ride and the Z is more of a mans sports car.

i always thought the shocker was a woman. :D

For me looks looks and looks. Just today at the traffic light, a dude in a g37 kept looking at my Z. Plus, around here in the DC area there are plenty of Gs and mostly driven by women.

There is nothing wrong with the question but Z guys will be more partial to the 370Z. I'm sure if the same question was asked on a G37 forum then the responses would most likely be in favor of the G. ;)

I've checked out both but the G didn't nothing for me, it's not what I'm looking for in a car. Although I haven't actually bought my 370Z yet it will most likely be my next purchase. Hopefully by next year.

They only reason I would choose a G over a Z is for the paint. I hate the Paint on the 370z..it's so difficult, but paint is an important thing to me...My car is always clean...always :tup:

I owned a g35 and was in love with its chiseled defined look. Sadly education>vehicle and had to sell.

... then the g37 came out and shattered my dreams. It became rounder and puffy like a marshmallow. It lost it's masculinity to a bubble butt rear end with its contrasting small chrome duckbill.

On the other hand, the 370z is a beastly mean catfish. With a sleek body and fitting back end. I don't own a 370 yet, but have test driven it and will be in the market for one in a little while.

Because it's ugly with a flat @ss and a common as heck sight here in LA.

Besides, for 'luxury' cars, I always go with the Germans.

:happydance:

:ugh2:

G37 is too sedated, quiet and comfortable for my tastes. Plus it looks like crap compared to the 370Z in my opinion.
