G35's -- who's owned one?

[jaywood]

Who's owned one? Who's driven one?

I had the chance to drive my parents friend's g35 coupe for 10 miles or so but that's it. I have always liked them.

What do you guys think of them?

I had an '06 350Z for about 3 months before I ditched it. My biggest complaints were cheap interior materials (may not be a problem in the G35) and the crummy stock BOSE stereo.

the G stands for Gay.

Road noise is horrible. They're a damn good looking car though. Almost bought one new in HS. Still have a big soft spot for them.

had an 06 with a lot done to it... got bored super fast... it was an automatic though, so maybe my opinion doesn't count. ultimately, good car, looks nice too.

I have an 04 g35 and a g37. They are nice cars, I like the g37 a lot more than the g35. The vq motors are notorious for burning oil and our g35 does. The timimg chains are lifetime but I had the guides slide down the rail where they should sit on the g35. To redo the timing chain on these cars is an 11hour job at a shop and most people that have issues end up just swapping to a different motor because the job cost around 1800. They are a pain in the ass to work on and it is tight in the bay.

My dad used to have a G35, now owns a G37 S. The G35 was a decent car but kind of a pig, I absolutely abhor the G37. Its almost impossible to drive it smoothly, there are more blind spots than there are Windows, and the interior is pretty much falling apart.

Nissans are the Volkswagens of Japanese cars.

That's why you don't buy a Renault...

Seems like all of the douche bag drivers around here are in g35's or maximas. I give it the thumbs down because of that

This. I've never been in a louder car at 35 miles per hour.

Ironic from a BMW driver.

Could be the tires, the first few 350Zs I drove were terrible. Find a low mileage stock one on new OEM Bridgestone RE050.....dramatic difference.

Could have been. It was an early model. I think it had some good tires though. It wasn't my car so I only checked to make sure they wouldn't come appart at limiter.

I thought they looked ok when they first came out but now they look ugly as fuck, they did not age well at all.
