I use my Z as DD since its my first and only car.

touring edition Z FTW! other than the backseat thing, the z can have all options listed. however, with this being said, if i had to DD the car, i would have gotten a g37, 335i, or s4 V8. theres no replacement for more seats in a car.

i'd say go with the g37. by this point, you are probably already familiar with this platform and engine layout. you might be suprised how much of that knowlege and familiarity transfers over between cars. think of it as a 370z.5 lol

I like both Z's and G's, but I like the Z better. It's more of a sports car. It's more at home on the track or on back roads. You can mod a G to be like that, but with the Z you're already most of the way there.

The G is heavier and has two extra seats. It's more practical.

Someone said G's are AWD. Not all of them. You can get an AWD G37, but you can also get a RWD one.

Do what's best for you, but for my situation, I'd take the Z every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I was wondering if there are RWD Gs. But I m going to keep the Z for as long as I could. Just too good to pass on her

I have a 40th which is sports and touring, so I have heated leather seats and Nav, love it. Its as luxurious as a I need for a sports car

I have not driven a G37 however I sat in one and while I think the Z's seats are comfortable, the G was next level. Extremely comfortable. The finish inside is nice and yes, back seats.

I just had a son a few months ago, the only reason I'd switch to a G is if I couldn't get a 3rd car and swtiching made more sense.

The looks have grown on me, I'm in a local VQ club and there are some sick ones, I feel black is the best color. Great thing about the Z is you see much less of them, if you care about that sort of thing. There are 4 G's in my Condo Parking lot.

I think the G is growing on me as well. I did not really care about them at first. However, every time I wished there are more luxury around me I imagine the G being better. But for now I would like to keep my Z and add on some luxury one at a time. Didnt know the Z had grown all over me

Thanks for the feedback and congraz on your new family member!

I went from a G37S (fully loaded) to a 370z (fully loaded). I honestly can't pick a favourite. I like them both equally. I would get another G in a heartbeat. Performance/handling suffers a bit with the G, but what you lose in that category, you gain in toys. But in your case, you haven't had the Z long enough in my opinion to switch over.

I made the same switch, but with a much different result - there is no way I'd go back to a G. It's all subjective - I don't like the G's styling, interior, or extra weight.

A Z is MUCH more exclusive.

If you are wanting creature comforts (like I do), go with a Sport Touring.

Ya i must admit, I really love the exclusivity of the Z. Nobody has them! And realistically, when you get the touring package on the Z, you're not really missing out on too many toys.

g37s are sexy as hell.

with that said, keep the Z.

Is there any way to add the touring package to the base car?
The touring is really all I want, since I am going to keep the Z for more years.

Thanks

I don't think this is worth the hassle. It will cost you more to do this now than from the factory. You would need the touring package rims, brakes, nav unit, seats etc. However, there are many aftermarket alternatives if you want to add some toys (i.e. new head unit, speakers, rims, etc.).

Exclusive??? Lol. Yeah, I park mine next to the lambo and drive my Z less than the Lam cuz its sooooo exclusive.

Those comforts belong in a G not a dedicated sports car like the Z.

Smart *** replies aside, my point was I see a lot more G37's than I do Z's.

If you are in to "dedicated" sports cars, why did you get an automatic? I'm assuming because that's what you wanted. It all comes back to personal preferences that are subjective.
