Hey everyone, im new too the forum. Anyways I have been researching 04 and 05 G35 coupes. Im planning on purchasing one next month. I had a few stupid question's that I thought maybe you guy's could help me out with. My first question is, awd or rwd? and is the automatic a paddle shift or what's the deal IVe never been a fan of tipronic car's but I figured it would be different on a g35 though. How's the gas milage? what are your likes and dislikes just stuff like that would really help me out I wanna buy a G35 that is perfect for me. Sorry for such dumb question's but it would really help me out thanks.

 

are u wanting a coupe or sedan?

 

a coupe...sorry I should of just read the other threads about likes and dislikes.

 

05 is better than 04. if your using it in the snow then AWD, if not then RWD is good enough.

 

AWD isn't available on the coupe.

 

all g35 automatic coupes are tiptronic... the 2nd generation sedan are paddle shifters

the 05-07 interior looks better

you're not gonna get a lot of mileage.. i think avg 16-17mpg

the coupes are RWD

 

the +2005 coupe interior is upgraded, looks and feels a lot nicer than the 03-04. I was set on an 05 coupe until I realized that an 06 coupe with premium package includes the intelligent key (keyless entry), and the price difference between an 05 and 06+Premium in my area (socal) isn't so much.

 

Thanks alot! I may spend more bucks for the 06 not sure.

 

I have on 04 and after reading the troubles w/oil consumption on the 05 & newer rev-up engines, I'm very happy I have an 04 which hasn't shown any oil consumption issues yet. As for the upgraded interior, it's nicer than the car I used to have so that was an upgrade for me.

 

I sat in an 04 and i have an 06..

personally i feel that 10 tq loss in the 05-06 makes a big difference

i dont feel that pull like i do in 03-04s.

 

i say 05
