Hello all,

I'm currently in the market for a new ride and a G35 coupe 6mt is on my list. I don't know too much about it just that it i like the way it looks. but i need more than just that to pull the trigger. please, let me know what you guys like/dont like, could've been better? experiences? problems? etc. any and all info would be awesome. thanks

 

I have the 5AT, seems to me that the 6MT is problem plagued...it IS a bad-*** looking car...

 

please just use that search button and type in all of those topics and you will find a wealth of info...but I LOVE my 05 6MT!!

I have an 07 6MT which doesn't seem to have the oil consumption problems. But let me tell you...getting in and out of this car never gets old...

my only dislike, beside most of the common stuff in that thread, is clutch shifting. I've had 3 MTs prior to this one and this car is BY FAR the hardest to drive smoothly...

what else is on your list?

 

well i've been thru three vehicles two trucks, ( '86gmc s-15 & '95chevy silverado) and now my current car is a '00bmw e46 vert. just to give you and idea where i'm coming from. the other cars i'm contemplating is an fx35, caddi cts-v, and is250/350.

 

I had the IS350 on my list prior to buying but I had an Audi A4 2.8L and just didn't want another sedan.

 

I've had some issues with the car like rattling mirror, oil consumption, air bag light, etc, that were all taken care of by the dealer. And even through all the "problems" the car ran and performed just as strong as new, so you can't really call them problems. Get the car with warranty and enjoy it worry free. The only less then perfect thing is the notchy shifting in the 6MT but it works good and I got used to it.

 

Another 6MT owner here - just had it 3 months - and it's got issues like any other car, but MAN is this thing fun to drive!

 

I have a flawless 04.5 6MT with nearly 80K miles now and have no issues with it. I don't know why people have trouble other than many don't do well with RWD manual cars that make lots of torque.

 

go with the G35 or the cts-v...z06 engine weee

 

honestly there are a lot of miniscule problems with the car. but at the end of the day, i wouldn't want any other (for my budget of course
