I have a MT Touring model and have no issues driving it. I too was worried about the blind spots, but I got over that really quick. The hardest part for me is parking it for some reason... The car is really short but it has a wide a$$.

You get used to the slight road noise, it will be a non-issue and like mentioned above, you can get better tires.

A good idea is to go to a carmax(needs premium gas and oil change asap) and get one. Condition and miles are good and price is very reasonable. The kicker is, you have 5 days to drive it and return it with no questions asked if you don't like it.

It's really hard not to fall in love with the car. This car also holds its value really well so I'm sure if you decide to sell it in a year, it wont be much of a loss.

So why not make your fiance's 50 shades of grey dream come to fruition and get the car!

Wow what a nice sales pitch!!!

Do you work or worked for Carmanx?? Makes me buy another Z

I don't work nor have worked for CarMax, I've done business there along with a few people I know and have had nothing but a great experience. Only dislike would be the sub87 bulk fuel they put in and the bulk low quality engine oil. Quick fix if all is replaced right after you buy from there. prices are completely fair(including selling your vehicle to them).

Their prices are somewhat high, and they don't haggle. Where's the fun if you don't get the lowball the salesman and make him run back and forth two or three times.

and then rip up the paper with price he just validated with his 'boss.'

agreeable.

Ya there will be no difference essentially between an 09-12. very minor differences. but coming from a g, this will be a lot more firm and sporty of a ride.

have you considered a g37 at all?

kenchan · 07-26-2012, 09:00 AM

yah most folks (including me) would think G35C owners would naturally go to a G37C, but not the case for me. it's a completely different car, different dynamics/vibe. G37C's are not a car enthusiast car like the G35C is. it's a lot prettier inside, but then lost much of the fun factor for some reason from its more mature theme.

but then G35C and 370Z are also completely different. both fun to drive and own, but in a very different way.

I agree. Ever since I test drove the 370Z my G doesn't seem to be as much fun. I can't wait to get my Z!!! I'm thinking about blue touring or touring sport. Any suggestions?

yah, my suggestion is keep the G and buy the Z.

the G35C is fun but in a different way.

<- Big guy here. I way in around 290lb @ 6ft tall (back in April I was at my personal highest of 338 lb). A coworker of mine who has probably 50lb on me but is much shorter (so much wider) didn't seem to have a problem. The car is very comfortable to me at my size so I don't think it would be a problem unless they area really big. I already consider myself pretty damn big.
