** THE g35 **
It think what makes the g35 stand out is cause its unique, fine you got speed
on the EVO, your 18 and going to college. you differently want something new something different something that will catch people's eyes and also make you fell good, with the g35 you've get POWER, you get speed you get luxury, plus you like moding the g35 is full of mod's. your going to be clubbing alot now nothing saids come home with me babi then a g35..
the minute they walk out of the club and see your rolling in the g, and they get in and feel those seats, just turn on the music and there candy
trust thats why i recommend the G.

First and foremost what you get is Customer Service. You are not only just getting a car, but you are getting great service.
If you are under factory warranty you will get a loaner (21yrs n older), your car will be pampered, trust me My car has been through Infiniti's service department plenty of times for my f u c k ups. Don't expect to break the car purposely and not get a bill but just realize that you will be taken care as much as possible.
The first time i walked into the Infiniti Dealership I read a quote on a managers door "Own one, and you'll understand"...
I never knew what that really meant in deeper terms, i just took it for what it was.
The problems, OH yeah had them, won't need to lie to you. Anything that humans make will have problems, anyone that tells you else is just lieing.
I've gone through almost everything but a engine. Not once did i come out of my pocket even when i was almost out of warranty and things looked odd on my perspecctive and the dealer had to change a transmission. "Own one and you'll understand".... That chet really grew on me.
Performance, considering a car weights over 3400lbs (my car with 1/4 tank of gas remaining 3550lbs 03 A/T Sedan) with much luxury, quality and overall comfort and can still manage to beat Stock SRT4's, give 350z's a run for their money; for you to come from a 350+awhp vehicle to downgrade in regards to performance only its a laugh seriously. But when you can truly appreciate the car for what it can do for you other than just go in circles fast, or in a straight line, then you'd understand.
Remember this, There is no replacement for displacement.
Of course G's and Z's didn't come boosted, yet they can be modified like any other car to handle boost.
Since modding is not in your agenda as you want to save money, then keeping the car for its sole appearence can do more than enough for you.
Yet it can always be tinkered with in the future if you decide to modify.
Perhaps the only unique item is the sound of a G35 has; In My Honest Opinion the only thing that individualizes these cars are the exhaust sound, I have not heard any other car that can duplicate the sound execpt for the big boys that have had this sound for quite some time (Ferrari Lambo, etc...) Yes the appearence is hard to duplicate as well, but nothing stands out more than the sound.
Torque,
in order to move a 3400+lb car and enjoy it you need torque. The VQ's provide plenty of it in n/a form, Boost will yield higher results. I am sure that a G with 8lbs of boost will yield close to if not more power than a 4g63 on double the amount of boost. Remember there is no replacement for displacement.
Overall you have to go test drive the car and see what you like and dislike. G's are nice. I was honestly looking for a Evo VIII MR but i test drove a G, and knew that it was it.
Has plenty of luxury, Insurance was a tad bit cheaper, More useable torque, Less Likely to get pulled over every 5 miles because some cop thought you were racing.
Make sure you get a G in warranty, as repairs are expensive in any vehicle. Factory Warranty is a world on its own, you would truly appreciate the fact that a dealer goes above and beyond to make you happy.
Gas mileage, If you have a lead foot, you will need to be in the gas station more than usual. I've gotten my G to do 27mpg on the highway, and 19-21 on the streets... Hard for me to do that when i am always waking up late for everything so realisticly i am getting about 300-310 miles to every fill up which is about 15+/- MPG. Once again not bad for a 3400+lb car. I am sure the evo would do the same once you went into boost which should be almost all the time since its a small engine with a small turbo, and with fuel upgrades.
Take a test drive, experience the car.. Dont be afraid to get on it, it will be the potential car you get for the next X amount of years so do the testing you want NOW.
Hope you find what you are looking for dude.

It really depends on what you want.
My cousin had EVO and I drove in it once and I hated it from that moment on.
I just cant enjoy the car when I'm sitting on plywood seats.
G is the best blend between sport and luxury IMO
but as many have already mentioned..........Test drive it and see for your self.

Well we can't force you to get a G all in all it's up to you. At least what I can do is give you my experience and the knowledge I've gained with this car.

The EVO/STI are the bargain buys for raw performance.
The G35 is the bargain buy for a blend of performance and Luxury
The ES350 is the bargain buy for pure luxury.
My $.02
Coming from an EVO, the G35 is going to feel like a boat until you get used to it. It's also going to float over everything (compared to the evo), and most girls like comfort more than fast cornering
