So why does everyone tend to hate on the 2003-2004 G? I just bought an '04 and it seems to have no issues, but everyone I talk to who has never owned one comes up with all these oddball opinions.

 

Its because some people see 298hp and automatically think 05+ are faster. They dont always hate on the 03-04s. People really like the performance and especially with the Brembo's. The interior is definitely nicer in the 05+ and there are a few small changes as well.

 

No burnt CDs for us 03-04

 

03-04: crap interior, no REVUP

05+: crap oil consumption, no brembos

pick your poison

 

i play burnt cd's in my 04 all the time.

 

he probably meant MP3 CDs

 

yea i have an 05 but my friends 04 uses burnt CD's all da time... try changing what media you use... maxtor seems to work fine for him...

 

Burnt CD's are the only thing I use in my '04. You can't play MP3's on the stock head unit though.

 

The 03-04's are the best years for the G35 IMO. In terms of reliability, braking, and in some areas looks too.

I came close to buying an 07, but I smoked the salesman in it (my buddy), then we swapped and he smoked me while I drove the 07 so it wasn't a driver issue... No thanks, I'll keep my non rev-up 04.5 with the extra torque, Brembo's and not a detectable drop in oil level between changes even at 85,000 hard miles!
