Selling my Z to get a G

Selling my Z to get a G
Hey everybody, just thought I'd get your opinions regarding the G35. I currently have a 2003 Z 6mt, which I love, but since my wife and I will be starting a family soon, I need to get something with a back seat. I think the best compromise would be a G35 coupe. I know essentially, they're the exact same car and share the same vq35, but after doing some searching here, I noticed several members have the oil pooling issue on their G. Is this common? I frequently post on the Z forums and I haven't heard of this. Also, has anybody previously had a Z? If so, is the G a lot quieter? I got my Z with only 12k miles on the clock and aside from a bad passenger side window motor, everything's been perfect. Is this common on the G's as well? Lastly, for the most part, is it safe to assume that the problems on the Z are the same as on the G? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yea, i was thinking about that... I know it'll be a lot more practical to get a sedan, but coming from a Z, i just can't bring myself to do so. So, i figured a G35 coupe would be a good compromise...

That's what I figured... So with that being the case, how many of you G owners with the Rev up have oil consumption problems?

TBH, look up some Sedans in the Media section on the sedan forum. Sedans are uber sexy when done right, almost makes me wanna get rid of the coupe.

^ Personal opinion. I think the coupe looks much better.
For the OP, the problems are practically identical:
Window motors
Door lock actuators
Axle click
Road noise and ride quality is pretty harsh as well. I've never drove a Z, so I'm not sure how similar they are in that respect.
I've heard that 17's make a big difference (improving noise and ride quality)
The rev-up problem seems very common here, but you could always go for an 03-04 -- some people say these have oil consumption probs as well, but I've seen far less on this forum

My OEM 19s and aftermarket 19s both suck in comparison...but they look nice.

I've never had 19's on my car, but there is definitely a difference between the 17's and 18's. Just feeling the slight difference from that has made it clear to me to stay away from 19's.

The rear seats in a G35 are a pain in the *** to get to. In fact I don't think I've ever had more than 1 other person in my car for this very reason. I treat it like a 2 seater.
If you have a child, I doubt you'll be happy with a G35 coupe. It will get very tiring after a while.
