Yes I driven the 250. Love the interior. I also drove the G25 for a day. And man, that car is mad weak. LOL

I would get the TL over the G25.

Stupidest thread yet... You don't want it- don't get it. You want it- get it.

ride is harsh, road noise is rediculous, power windows and locks keeps breaking, stock stereo sucks....need more reasons?

I've had no electrical or drivetrain issues with my 2005.

The road noise was excessive but good performance tires fixed that.

Gas mileage is indeed the worst I've experienced from a car with this performance. It really is dismal.

I don't understand why you want to be talked out of something you appear to have already decided on..

Really?!?!? Are you guys driving at 5-6K in 3rd going 40 mph? I don't baby my G at all and get 21-22 mpg with the turbos @ 10psi. (90% city driving) Got even better 24-25 mpg before turbos.

Yeah, you get better MPG than a Honda Civic. Makes perfect sense

Not for $21K unless he wants a 9 year old car with 80K+ miles.

IS350 maybe, but there are very few available at his price that have a clean Carfax. But Mike better be under 5'10" because the IS is made for short people. And as I said in a previous post, the 335 starts at around $25K and goes up from there.

I fill it until it does the first stop at the pump. Reset trip. Drive. Go to refill after 350 miles (@1/4 tank) I could get 400 to a tank if I ran it to the light. Then use same pump and fill until first stop. Divided my trip (miles) by how much I just put in (gallons) and get 21 mostly, got 22 (21.98) once.

I love my G...best car I ever bought so far. My 2003 G35 coupe was more reliable than the pos 335i sedan I just sold. I am also parting ways with my G as well and picking up a 2011 wrx STI sedan...I hope it can live up to my G...

Just ignore jibberjabbers. He hates every aspect of the G35 and never misses a chance to bad mouth it. We're all dreaming of the day he sells his car and leaves this forum forever. Or gets banned. Either one works.
