I say go for the 35. Heck, I just turned 40, and I got an '03 6MT coupe a month and a half ago. For a third of the price of a 37, the early model 35's give great performance and look just like the 2007 models (except for small details, of course.) That way you can be smart AND sporty!

 

I love my rare Serengeti sand

 

Thanks guys I agree wiuth most of you regarding body style I seem more partial to the 06/07 than the 08 and plus the inside I can live with and as far as the motor goes is the torque that much different, I know there are more ponies but I like the older body style better, not to mention price wise.. I'm in Montreal and its a daily driver, how doe she go in the snow with 4 good winter tires on. When I bought my car there were not many on the road, now they are all over the place but the coupe is rare in this neck of the woods..

I don't know the exact numbers but I think the G37 has only more HP; however, it does weigh a little bit more. I don't think you would feel a major performance difference between the two. As for the snow, you definitely will need some sort of snow tires. I live in NY and I don't have any snow tires and the car slips all over the place. Even with snow tires, I would think you could get stuck in high levels of snow since the car is pretty low stock. Its not the best car to get for the snow. I can't speak from experience since I don't have snow tires. Wish you the best of luck in your search for a G.

 

The G is actually quite capable in the snow with snow tires. The smaller the wheel, the better the snow navigation. A lot of members here run 17" wheels in the winter and switch to their 18-19" set ups in the summer.

 

I don't think getting to a point in your life where you can afford something you always wanted or that resembles what you had earlier in life is a mid-life crisis.
(couple years shy of 50 here....)
Will let you know about snow this winter...went from Yoko S-Drives to Conti Extreme Contact DWS recently
Twilight Blue 04 Coupe.

 

Agreed, just means you're all grown up and can have what you want instead of what you need.

 

Don't forget the projector headlights on the 06+ coupes.

Couldn't deal with the cheap-looking (IMO) interior of the 03-04, and that was the determining factor for me over an 05.
