Leaving the G35 family today

Well guys, I returned my leased G today after three wonderful years.

I have gone back to basics (somewhat), since I drive 600 km per week, I needed something more fuel efficient and some of you may know I went back to Honda. The Accord V6 Coupe just caught my eye and really fell in love with the design. The key was the VCM which runs the car on as little as 3 cylinders when cruising but I still have 270 hp when I need it. I have had it for a couple days now and really impressed by the build quality and how solid the car feels. Really feels like an Acura but for Honda $$.

I'll still keep lurking around here from time to time and try to keep in touch with whats going on the in G world.

See ya,
P

ps. already started some minor mods ... getting tinted and 3M taped this week and ordered iPod integration from eBay today as well. Looking into HIDs from XenonDepot (in Richmond Hill) and CAI soon I am sure.

Good luck with your new car Peter. You can't go wrong with a Honda, thats for sure.

Stay in touch with the board , still hope to meet up with you again sometime.

Sounds like a sensible choice Peter. G/L and don't be a stranger on these boards.

good stuff Peter...I've seen those on the road and caught my eye a couple of times. It's a great car for the money all year round for sure.

Accord is rated 11.0 city and 6.9 hwy, on regular gas
G sedan is 12.1 city and 8.2 hwy on premium.

I'll still hang around here and keep in touch, maybe we should start a new Sub-Forum for Ex-G owners

I'd be curious what real world mileage difference you experience after it's broken in a bit.
& the RUG is nice instead of PUG.
