Hello everyone, it's been a while since I have been on here. I am writing to ask your advice on choosing a new used car. I have a 2005 G35X sedan with 106K miles on it. I would like to get into a newer vehicle with much lower mileage and trade this while it's got some value, and unfortunately I do not like the 2007+ models of G35. Trust me, I totaled my '06 G35X and bought an '07 G35X and hated the ergonomics and interior re-do, and hated that it lost the exhaust "growl" that you hear when you start it up. I ended up trading back down to a 2005 with high miles and lost money on the deal cuz I loved the 2005-2006 years so much. Can anyone help me choose a car with AWD that's cool looking, either an Infiniti or any other make of a car that would give me that similar "growl" exhaust sound I get out of the 2005-2006 model years, that would be sporty and tight and you can feel the road like in the G35?
These are the things I love about my G35X. I cannot find a 2005-2006 G35X with 30K miles or less, so I am in the market for something else, I guess. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Again, I'm willing to buy Infiniti, but just not hopeful that the newer models have that nice exhaust sound and sporty interior and road feel that I like. Thanks!

 

The only other awd would be audi. I had an 03 quattro a6 3.0. The awd is better than infiniti IMO. But not as good performance or growl from exhaust. Maintenance is costly for audi. Timing belt no chain unless you get a8L. Then its v8. A drunk driver totaled my audi! I got an 05x with 84,000. Car is showroom mint in and out! Came with all the service records from infiniti since mile 15. I got it from nissan dealer they gave me a two yr bumper to bumper warranty! I like the x better than rwd handles like its on rails and will walk away from the audi I had. If you find a4 audi with twin turbo quattro that would be good.just most are driven hard! 105,000 miles isnt bad as long as its been maintained! I wish you luck in your search

 

Thank you gman

 

Your welcome. I too think the 05 interior is the better looking of the 1st gen. I did like my audi very much! The maintenance is costly though. You will find what you are looking for just will be some searching. Dont give up low miles x are out there.
