Any G37 converts?
 

Tried searching my question, but no luck finding anything like this.

Anybody out there former G37 owners? I always wanted a Z, but didn't have a second car to use for the winter so I needed something with AWD to at least be "usable" in the snow. Well, 2 years later, I'm sick of the 7AT in the G and I recently got myself a suitable winter car so I've been eyeing the 6MT Z a lot and have been talking numbers with dealers in my area. Have an appointment on Monday to finalize some stuff and put an order in most likely.

Long story short: Former G37 owners, happy you made the jump to a Z?

I used to own a G37S coupe. More than happy with my Z

Kenchan owns both. Ask him.

Kenchan owns G35C and 370Z both 6MT. :)

Huh....I heard the auto in these cars is better than stick.

But as long as u can deal with limited visibily over your shoulder and less luxury depending on the options your looking at. You should enjoy it as long as your ready for a dedicated sports car.

:tup:

I had a 2009 G37c and now a 2012 370z. 8 out of 10 days, I'd rather have the G37. It was a quieter ride which made hands-free phone conversations nicer at highway speeds. The seat went back farther which was nice because I'm tall. Every dealership service experience was better. The stock stereo was better. I guess to summarize, all the creature comforts were nicer and most days I don't have the opportunity to push the performance aspects where the Z would inch out a win.

I have owned both. I had a 2008 G37 in auto. Went from that to a Lexus is250 to a BMW 135i and now have a Z. The G was and is a comfortable car, but the Z is a DRIVERS car. Love my Z. I dont know if I can get very specific but I LOVE my Z so much more than any other car I have ever owned. Make sure you buy 6mt.

What was the 135i like? I still have it in the back of my mind as an option if I e en trade my s197 in

Came from g37 coupe, I really do miss amenities in g37. Much more better quality than the z for sure.

135i was nice. It was more refined than the Z. Even with the twin turbos there was practically no lag. I had the Dual Clutch Transmission. So shifting was very quick and fun. The interior was a lot nicer than the Z. Exhaust note sounded better too. Just a different experience man. You should go test drive it yourself.

I test drove a g37x coupe because I also considered needing awd for a daily in Connecticut. But I went with the Z because I was willing to sacrifice some luxuries and have a pure sports car. And I have winter tires :)

I didn't own a g37 coupe but did test drive a G37s 7at back to back with my 370z. The G and my Z are pretty equal from an amenities standpoint. The G had a more glitzy interior which is expected and I did like the sunroof. The ride was definately quieter as well. I ended up with the Z because it was a purpose built sports car. Hard to describe but when I sat in the Z it just felt right. The G was too watered down for me and I personally felt it was better in sedan form. I think the G coupe is a good xompromise for those who want a sporty coupe but cant have two cars.

Sounds like the 135i was better In every way...why get rid of it?

The turbos reliability scared me. Maintenance is way too high. And I missed a manual car. The 370z looks sexy as hell. Drives like a monster. Plus I love the synchro rev match feature on it.
