Maybe not at all!

But i am currently stuck on purchasing a G. I have 2 other cars i have in mind that i would like to get which are either a Subaru WRX, or a VW GTI...as of now, i am leaning towards the G by far so i may not need convincing.

What my question is, i am willing to spend $15,000, maybe some more, on a car and i want to know what year Gs should i be trying to get??

A manual is a must, also a coupe. AWD would be a nice since i am (unfortunately) a resident of Buffalo NY. RWD would definitely not work well in the snow, especially the hills, but if i get a nice enough G, i will definitely put that thing away for winter, so that issue is solved.

Since i am most likely going to get the v35 generation G, what are the known issues and how big of an issue are they really?
Any suggestions?
May i also add that i am only 20 years old...

Thanks

 

Coupes do not come in AWD. For 15k you might find a higher mileage car or an older one. I saved and went for the 06. Newer interior and built in blu tooth. Also comes with awesome headlights. Your best bet is to drive all three cars. I am sure you will love one of them. Good luck!

 

I sold my 2005 G35 with 60k miles for 15.5K. Loaded with navi/sport package/wing/19". It was even dropped and slightly modded lol.

The person who bought mine got one hell of a deal, and I'm sure you'll find some if you wait.

As for the Subaru WRX. It's a totally different car. I would get the G35 over the WRX anyday, unless its the WRX STi ofcourse.

The VW GTi is a nice car, but the G35 looks a whole lot better. You'll enjoy the G35. I already miss mine. In fact, I miss it so much I'm planning to get a 350z to daily. (I would get a g35 again, but since I have the evo, I don't need the backseat option in the G35.)

 

I do love how appealing the G looks and that's what took me over. GTIs are so popular around here which is why i am leaning furthest from that...

What do you mean by this back seat option?

 

When I first bought the G35, I was deciding between the G35 and 350z. I chose the G35 because it had the back seats. But now that I have an evo that seats 5, I can get the 350z. Which I previously wasn't considering because it only has 2 seats.

 

Oh, i just didn't know what you were referring to... what made you chose the Evo over a Wrx?

 

I really don't know. The STi and Evo are very similar. 4 Doors, 4 cylinder turbos, rally cars, awd, etc. The only deciding factor between these 2 cars are just looks imo. Whichever one looks better to you is the one you should get, because other than that, the cars are super similar.

I prefer the evo over the sti. Another reason might be because my friend is buying an STi soon, so I decided to pick up the evo, instead of us 2 having the same car.

It depends what you want, usually evos can make and hold more power than the STi's.

I miss my G35 though, which is why I'm planning to get a G35 or a 350z again. It was such a fun car lol.

 

IDK if you have already have the car but.... I had a wrx, and now a G35. I would say buy a G. dont get a stupid VW WTF.. sorry hahah. but since u live in the snow IDK i loved the WRX in the snow!! sickest car u will ever own in the snow. plus It had a opening for my snow board. I would go with a STI or an EVO for speed. BUT if u want the G, its a LUXURY then SPORTS car keep that in mind!!

 

g35 coupes do not come in AWD. Guys here get by in the winter with dedicated winter tires.

 

Driving in the snow, is different than driving in the snow where i live. No possible way snow tires on a RWD would get me up the hill i live on.

I would definitely like some other previous WRX owners to tell me how much more they love their G opposed to the WRX!!

 

well i have an STi and my G coupe.. both stick.. they are totally different and that is why i have both. STi - turbo and 4 doors, engine mods, tons of power, a heck of a time, the girl loves it.. G- timeless lines, leather, comfort, turns necks, exterior mods, great for going out in, the girl loves it...

It's a pretty tough decision. But for your situation described in OP i would say WRX.. The G is my baby and it NEVER sees rain, let alone snow!! I just couldn't do that to it! haha. And geez, NY? winters are gonna be insane. Get the WRX. Why put a beautiful G through that punishment...
