Unhappy Disappointing news ...

It seems that G35 Coupes dont run well in snow. So changing to snow tires is mandatory. I want to move down South for this car.

with the vdc and other safety features, i don't know how it sucks in the rain compared to any other rwd car. if anything, it's better than most rwd cars....at least the rwd (even fwd) cars i've driven without vdc or any other safety feature. now if you turn off the vdc in the rain, you better watch out!!!

Snow what's that. The G is a pleasure to drive in Sunny Florida. As for rain I haven't had any problems. The car handles great.

I drove my car DAILY in the snowstorms this winter. They hit really hard here in Boston. With a set of cheap ASA 17" + Dunlop M3's... I was climbing steep streets on 36" snowfall days.... just let the VDC do its thing. I have VLSD, so I'm sure that also helps a little. This thing is fearless in the snow!

the pilot sports seem to do quite well in the rain. in the snow, theyre downright DANGEROUS. my G doesn't leave the garage when there is even a dusting of snow on the streets.
