Planing on getin a 05 or 06 sedan shortly. Pros? Cons? Help

Well i used to own a 06 G35 coupe. had to sell and got a is300. now i sold the is300 and am planin on getin a 05 or 06 sedan. preferably with a sport package and premium package. i just wanted to hear from yall 05 or 06 sedan owners on your thoughts and opinions on the pros and cons of the sedan.

I have done much research and know much about these sedans specs.
but i know once you buy the car there is always things that you could wish were done better or differently!

thanks for any input and help.

i would certainly wait a few months for the 07's to come down in price or pick up a used one. They are certainly a completely different car than the first gen g's, much better in every aspect

why the 05/06? get a pre-05... put 05/06 tail lights on... then get a replica WALD lip kit.. some nice 20inch wheels.

I have a 2005 with sport and premium package I brought it fairly new the car had 2K miles on it at the time got it for $29600 out the door the 06 does have blue tooth but you don't need it just get a blue tooth ear piece and call it a day.
Pros of my 05 sport/premium it has LSD, reclining rear seats and adjustable head rest it's a nice surprise for back seat passengers. All 4 windows are auto up and down, dual zone climate controls and memory seats and steering wheel can't go wrong with these options...

Cons... My passenger seat squeeks sometimes the back seats don't fold down and I tend to get finger prints on my trunk even though it has a grab handle on the inside.

I've driven two 07 sedans and I wasn't impressed with the interior I actually think the dash is cheaper looking than in my 05 the brakes felt better in the 07 but my car is 2 years old in comparison. I'll take a 07 sport in black/black but not until 2009 when they update it and by then who knows I might be more interested in the GTR.
