370Z to G37？

Elric

I just had this idea right now of jumping out of my Z into a G !!!

I got a base 6mt Z with s/p but sometimes I really wish I had heated seats, nav,etc just more luxury overall and some EXTRA Seats. Iv been with my Z for half a year now and really have been enjoying it everytime I get into it. However I am not a track guy nor a mod guy, at least for now. I use my Z as DD since its my first and only car.


What are your thoughts on switching between the two？
How much handling"aka FUN"am I going to lose in the G and how much luxury am I gaining？
Could you give me some very reallistic PROs and CONs on the G compared to Z？

Any related words are welcomed!
This would be a big choice if I am going to make it.


Thanks in advance
Elric

I had a g35, and the difference isn't enough to me to warrant losing thousands on a trade in.

My Z was a second hand car and I got it for 25k with 14k miles on it. Paid full price and no lease or finance or any thing like that.
Should I give a another shot later？ since I only got it for half a year.
Thank

IMO I'd prefer a G35 over the G37. But to answer your question, you gain back seats, I think its AWD as oppose to FRD. Nav and heat can be obtained on both cars. More HP to accomodate the 300 lbs difference. I just think that the G37 is like a 3 series BMW not close to an M3 though. What's funny though is that since I prefer a G35 but could only get a brand new G37, I'd also think about the Altima. I know its less HP but with a few mods, you can save money. The new G just doesn't appeal me at all.

Thanks alot for the input
I also quite like the g35. Just that I dont know much about it as well as the g37 yet. Gotta do some homework on them when I get a chance

Elric

This certainly says alot
Thank for sharing your experience.
I would really like to go and have a try in a G sometime

Honestly, sounds like your mind is already made up but you're looking for reinforcement or approval for this decision. I don't blame you as it's human nature and in fact, I say go with the G if the loss isn't significant on your budget. If you make mad dough, the loss of a couple thousand won't mean shiznit.

The new G37 Coupe looks like complete butthole, The old G35 is legit, But overall 370Z is a lot better, yeah the inside of the 370z looks like a base model with the craptastic radio horrible speakers, But all it takes is a thousand bucks and u can have a good radio and speakers, G37 u paying for that G and that "luxury" to me 5 thousand dollars more aint worth heated seats and electric seats and a little fancy clock. Save up your nickels and dimes and do some upgrades. Your never look back nor will you regret having the Z, All it took for me was a touch screen navigation and exhaust and I got hooked.

Subjective. I think he needs substance for the comparison. Facts. It's all too subjective of a topic if I may say so.

Jordo!

Of Melnibone?

You answered your own question -- the G is a more luxury oriented Z.

If you do start modding, the difference between them will become negligible in performance, but the luxury remains.

If you are able/willing to pay for it, go for it.

Both cars are beautiful to look at.

Will the extra weight and extra 'layer' of insulation from the road make you feel good or become the reason why you regret the switch(?)

Thinking of doing it so I can pick up my son if I have to when I don't drive my truck.

The G is a fine car and if you can afford only one car at a time it's really a better choice for more than day-to-day operations.
You know when you need more comfort, more room/seats, haul stuff and people around etc.

That said, I have a four door Altima SE-R that does that job for me. It's friggin huge inside. The back seat leg room whatever seems to have more room than the Z's front. Had it since new and I love to run the hell out of it. It's not a G but still a fun car to drive and is surprisingly fast. Paid for years ago too..

If you can afford two cars keep your Z for your day-to-day stuff like doing burnouts and scaring old ladies (giggle) and purchase a late model something to haul people and stuff around when you need to. Or...just get a G?

NYUK NYUK NYUK! HAHAHAH!

Yeah the G37 to me looks more luxury and it's got some weight to it.

For me, I got the 370Z Touring with the sports package and navi unit, and I'm not lookin back at my Honda S2000.

PROBLEM SOLVED!
