Hey there .. any Mainers or New Englanders here that own & drive & G35Coupe 5A/T? My dealer tells me they have yet to sell a coupe in Maine; before I plunk down $35K, I'd like to talk or chat with someone who uses it as a daily driver in this climate; I'm concerned about day to day driveability in the snow/ice.

Thanks Y'All!!

 

i live in michigan and the coupe is fine in the snow, of course its always best to have 2 sets of wheels with any rear-wheel sports car, use the winter set for 4 months, and regular street/summer/rain tires for the other 8 months, then swap
it really depends on how good of a driver you are on the snow...i mean, some people get soooooo afraid that they freak out whenever a tire slips and end up spinning out, its all about practice!

All your base are belong to us!

 

sedanman, great pics of your sedan!! Curious about the sat radio .. I asked my salesman if I could get that in the coupe, he said its not available in Maine! I thought you get the unit from the dealer & sign up for the service on the net. The reception .. should be 'available' anywhere .. I think .. yes?

 

I live in Southern Ontario, & have a 5A/T Coupe and driving it (with snows) is fine. The Michelin Pilot summers are useless in the snow.[img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img] Like Rambo said, it takes a little practice with this car but easy to adapt to[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img].
Sat radio service is (excuse the pun) still up in the air. LOL. No firm news on that yet.[img]/w3timages/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Gsedanman's Coupe

 

Hey dude, Yeh, all the Coupes have SAT button, not sure on Sedans, (my 2003 didn't) but doesn't do anything, other than say "NO SAT".
Search here on F/A to see what's available now- Seems to me there is something (if you hook up the aftermarket receiver).
What Infiniti is going to do I have no idea. Their plans are up in the air after promising the service b4 now.[img]/w3timages/icons/mad.gif[/img]
A member by the name of 'Philthy' was doing some work on it in his car.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Let us know what you find out.......Later......

My 2003.5 Sedan has the useless SAT button.

Thanks for the update on the '.5' Sedan. Now if we can just get some use out of the Sat button that would be nice.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
