I'm in the market for a 2005 G35 and I don't want to forget any options that I would regret not having later. I'm looking for a 6-speed and I know that I want the following:

• Navigation Package
• Sirius
• Sport-Tuned Suspension

Clearly I can easily tell if it has the Nav and Sirius, but how do I know if it has the sport-tuned suspension? Which OEM wheels should I be looking for? The body kit would be nice but not necessary - does this get added automatically with the sport suspension? Am I forgetting any other "must haves"? Thanks guys

 

if you get the 6MT, it will for definitely have the sport-tuned suspension and the forged OEM 19" wheels

 

Is the sport-tuned suspension an option for the 5AT?

 

Yes

 

Thanks.

Were Brembos only optional on the 2005s? If I'm not mistaken they were standard on the 2004 6MT (?).

 

Standard on 6MTs for 03, 04. It has never been an option, and is not available at all on 05+

 

A G35 with navi will look like this:




A G35 with XM or satellite will have a unit mounted on the roof toward the rear windshield like this:


Now just because the G35 has 19" wheels doesn't mean it has sports-tuned suspension pkg. so you just have to take the seller's word for it.

OEM 19" Iforged rims:


You may want to get one with a sunroof. I use it every single day. I'd regret buying the G if it didn't have one. Premium pkg comes with includes power one-touch open/close sunroof, Bose® audio system, power tilt and telescopic steering, dual HVAC controls, auto on/off headlights, and HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

 

Thanks man Hopefully they would still have the window sticker so I would be able to verify the sport-tuned suspension. I'm definitely interested in the Premium Pkg (my GF always tries to turn down the A/C ). Are there several versions of the Premium Pkg or just the one you listed? That seems to have all the nice extras that would come in handy.

 

just one really the only thing that it will or will not have is the nav and sat radio

 

I personally think Navi is important, when you ahve it you can't live without it. Get one with Navi, its a one time deal, you will benifit for the rest of ur G-life~

The sport suspension is seen in the interior (on an 07 at least) by orange stitching on the steering wheel. And at least from the factory this included 19" wheels.
On the nav issue, I prefer to buy a portable unit that can be used in any car, including a rental.
There is 1 premium package.

 

FWIW, I'm not sure where you live but I have a Black/Black 2005 6MT with Nav, sunroof, Sport tuned suspension etc....fully loaded out with 15k miles I'm thinking about selling. I love the car but my work has me on travel 8 months out of the year and it is just sitting in the garage.

 

Damn a real question. I was about to be a smart *** since i don't see things worthy of my time often.

Good luck on your search

 

I got my G w/o navi only because I thought to myself "I know my way around the city". That is true but then you started to learn of the cool features it has besides the navi and how it can be turned into a dvd player, with the TvandNav2Go add on of course, you start to regret not getting it.

 

Listen this man, thats exactly i have to live with everyday. I regret it everyhour, everyday, everynight without having a navi. I am even thinking selling my car and get another G with navi.
