G35 for a High School 17 year old?
My 1st car was a 96 5spd mustang that I paid for myself. I learned to appreciate things more, I had that car for 2 years then bought a 240sx an has that for 4 years. I bought my G when I was 21, I have had it for 3 years now... I for one will make my child work for their car, so they can learn to appreciate it as well.. But I am old school.
when i was 17 i was already on my 4th car. the first 3 were vw's. i talked my parents into letting me buy a second gen rx7 turbo.....bad idea. had the car a few months and started modding it right away. needless to say car went bye bye when i lost my license for racing my buddies older m3... the g35 is by no means a monster power wise but it is quick and lets face it speed and 17 year old young men dont mix. yaeh there is the exception to the rule but maybe like others have suggested, a late model honduh or vdub might be a safer bet.

I got my G35 6speed coupe in my 17tj birthday. Car I had before that was an 08 civic exl fully loaded. (first in the area as it had just came to the dealer) To this day I regret buying that civic. I could have gotten almost any car. But my mom pushed gas mileage so hard I went with the civic to shut her up lol. Anyway lost a lot of money with the civics trade in for the G. Now I have never been in an accedent, excluding my hydroplane because of balding tires.
I see the G as an exclenet 17 year old car. I was embarrassed to be seen in a Honda even though it was fully loaded and nice. The G is classy, handles well, and decent acceleration. I personally will buy my kids a 6 speed if they're still around haha. As far as cops only tickets I've gotten have been 4 tint tickets 5% all around. A cop did harass me. Undercover tried racing me in a double fine zone. I didn't bite. He got behind me and flashed his brights. I changed lanes and he followed 3 times. I turned into a restaurant he followed and durring the turn I proceeded to break check him. Anyway have me a ticket for C&I. I went to court and the piece of **** cop didn't even have the ***** to show.
Basically if the kid is smart and trustworthy (like moi). Go for it. Hell love it and I'm sure his dates will to

i was 17 when i first started driving, i drove a toyota camry for like 7 months and then my parents got me a g35 coupe. everyone expected me to be wreckless with it but i was actually responsible and I babied it because i loved it so much. i'm 19 now and started modding it when i first turned 18, i love it and i'm very glad i got it. i pay insurance and gas and everything on it though :/
Word on the street is he got a girl pregnant in the back seat and today he got a speeding ticket racing a GTR driven by a high school indian.
A very fast car for a 17 year old hahaa just dont turn vdc off unless you know how to control it! I got my g37 when I was 17 but where I live it's considered an average car for any 17-20 year old.
G35's come with a big responsibility, my advice is to wait till he gets to college and buy him a beater just to test him. If he is responsible and makes it to college then instead of a g35 get him a g37.

I find it funny how so many of you guys got Gs when you were/are teenagers! Nothing against teens, I was one a scant 10 years ago, but I got into plenty of trouble driving an 89 accord, a 94 accord, and a 2000 accord. Of course, that says alot more about my driving habits than the cars I was in. But if I had my G I can easily see my license having been revoked long ago.
When I bought my G35 (at 27) it was by far the nicest/fastest car of anyone I associate with and almost out of anyone in my immediate and extended family.

Prob did and crashed it and daddy bought him another car.
/shakes head at parents buying their kids cars, whether theyre $5000 or $50,000. Doesnt teach them anything except they're disposable and mommy and daddy will buy me another one if I wreck it.
