I'm planning on seling my G next spring/summer.
It has been a great car. But Geeze......I bought it in Feb of 2003.
Four years is enough and I'm ready for something new......
Just trying to figure out what.
I'll have a lot of goodies for sale when I put her back stock!

didn't really push teh car hard enough to notice the weight during the test drive
didn't notice the creaks on the test drive
Did notice the small trunk and if that were the only problem i would be happy.

The car is overall a nice daily driver and I am happy with the purchase. It is fun and relaxing to drive not to mention all of the looks, comments, and thumbs up I get from people while driving. This car will get you compliments all day.
In terms of engine potential, I am not satisfied. If they made the car TT from the factory, I would definitely plan to keep the car for awhile. As for now, it will do as a sporty daily driver. I had higher expectations in terms of performance because I also own a 1992 300zx Twin Turbo. The Z's interior seems more luxurious even though it is more than ten years old....
As for the new coupe, it definitely is flashy and I would love to own one, but it seems like a car that you do not want to modify. The current G35 looks great and I don't think many cars are as aesthetically pleasing, even in the higher price ranges. Everyone thinks my car is worth $70k+ just by looking at it; when I tell them how much I bought it for, most people immediately research on buying one. I will keep the current G35 until I am finished with external mods, which won't be many. I expect to sell the car in a year or two for something with a better interior, or the new coupe.
6 out of 10 for interior
8 out of 10 for performance
9.5 out of 10 for exterior
10 out of 10 for price
9 out of 10 for overall

So, bottom line, Yes, i'm perfectly happy with my G

So far I love the car, but I already have some rattles. And at night time I can see the light in the glove compartment through a little crack because it won't close 100% perfectly. Just little announces.

The seats are uncomforatable. It's heavy. .......
BUT, it looks and sounds good.
If I move in two years like I want to I'll put both cars up for sale and whichever I get an offer on first will be sold, I still like my Accord just fine.

What kind of noises? rattles? I have an 04 coupe and developed 1 or 2 rattles when I put in my subwoofer, but it took like 20 mins to find and address. Solid w/ no squeaks or rattles even with the sub pounding!
Of course, I admit, I dynamatted door panels, rear seats, and trunk while I put the stereo equipment in...

From: Louisville, KY (relocated from Brooklyn, NY)
I've only had my G35 for a few months now but I've very happy with it so far. I was also looking at BMW M3's, but I got a sweet deal on my '04 G35.
Also, at one time I owned a '96 328is coupe. I really liked, it but hated the BMW dealer's service here in Louisville (there's only one BMW dealership in Louisville), and my friends with BMW's tell me service there is still basically lousy.
I plan on keeping my G35 for at least 2-3 years, and I'm still seriously considering buying a M3 sometime in the future.
BTW- My usual daily driver is a '02 PT Cruiser (okay, I'm ready to get flamed now).
