Honestly which car would you get

So basically I've limited myself to these cars 3 cars, please tell me which you would get and why. I know this is a G35 site so it will naturally be biased, but please don't give me the "Hyundai is such a crap brand". Thanks!

It's a fairly even battle here, with the G35 price being on the high end.

Hyundai has proven they can make a quality product and their cars are appearing everywhere! Tbh the Hyundai is very unrefined. It makes lots of creaks and pops because it's a very plasticized interior. Although, it has a much sportier feel then a G35 Coupe. I think it would be a better idea to go with the Hyundai for the value here. 3.8 is nice !

Urban is a Hyundai fan, but I'm not convinced. At a glance the similarities are so close its actually kind of annoying, but a closer look will show that the parts, fit and finish and overall quality are sub par at best.

People are already having problems with chipping paint, I've seen the interiors chrome trim chipping WAY too early. I also know people with Hyundais who have gone through parts unnecessarily. Multiple exhaust manifolds (cheap welds), alternators etc. The parts just seem cheap. Plus the car just looks cheap. Like a an epiphone to a Gibson or a squire to a fender (guitar anology). Im just sayin the owners should be glad it comes with a 10yr warranty cuz yer gonna need it.

You are comparing a 4 year old car to a 10 year old car? It doesn't matter witch is better at this point. Unless this is a 4th car and money has no impact on your choice, if so get a gtr.

That's exactly the point. The G is still comparable to a brand new car. The G is great. The gen will be left behind.

You should test drive both of them and then come to your own decision. Of course, let us know. There is only so much you can gain from reading the interwebs of other people's opinions. Hunday has come a long way but it's hard for me to take a company serious when their selling point is copying/looking like cars from other companies.

Test drive both G35s, I like the '04 best since it's a sports coupe with all the bells & whistles...lower mileage. Korean POS, there's a reason they offer 100K mile warranty's!

Drive them all and then buy the one that you like most and fits into your budget best.

But the hyundai will be cheaper to mod and more reliabile,

I find it funny that is G is so commonly known for its oil consumption issues, but people here flip sh*t when you say a car with a 10yr/100k warranty is more reliable.

Plus the G35 interior is EXTREMLY dated. As soon as you sit in a G35, you can tell it is old. I would say look for a 335i, then G37, the Genesis, then G35.

Only once, by a 50yr old woman. I have reservations about her ability to see.

The Gen interior looks EXACTLY the same as the G! It ripped off the interior just as much as the exterior.
