Its fine for a 16yo. Got mine last year at 16 and so far so good. One speeding ticket but, ask around and you'll find that no matter what they drive most 16 year olds have gotten tickets.

i think the issue is RWD and not so much power. i came from a wrx that can outperform the g35 in almost any aspect, but the driving difference is incredible. i could throw the wrx into any corner WOT and not have to worry about side swiping anything.

and yes, the g35's are crawling :lol: :lol:

Had I realized how many 16 year olds drove this car....I might have opted out for something differant.

The G is not that fast. Great car and awesome to drive but by no means a death trap. But seriously all the 16 year olds talking about it like they arent rich and it's not a big deal... "35 Thousand is not that much to pay for a car at that age......" Seriously. A good financial developer once told me....A car should be half of what you make a year. So last I saw 16 year olds werent making 70K a year. Even 25-28K for a car at 6-7% interest is like 400 something bucks a month.

Maybe it's cause they dont live on thier own, but throw living and utilities in there and I wanna see you say 400-500 is no big deal...assuming of course you are sub 50K a year. (national average). If you baby Einstein's are making 70-80K when your 18...then hey. More power to you.

Very True!! Those of us that actually worked hard to establish good credit and pay for the car ourselves under our name and insure it under our name and still pay bills and support families........

Bashing comes as second nature!

Yeah.. that makes sense. In my situation, Im 16 and have a G. Im lucky i know. But to be a ******** and talk **** about it? Really? Come on. Put urself in my situation. I got a G, but since ur 'better', ud say No dad, i want a honda civic, I think I should work up to a G. Its just stupid dude. Everybody who talks **** about teenage G drivers is just ****in jealous.
