I am currently driving a Maxda 6 (due to my car being in my shop) and its pretty gutless compared to our G's, so much body roll, car looks like a suv cause it sits so high. I have no idea why they put a tiptronic shift as up is down and down is up, ghetto
Just makes me miss my car so much more..
How many of you feel this way??

when i was installing my springs i was at a friends place and my dad told me i need to pick him up, and as my car was up in the air i asked my friend to use his honda accord v6 to pick up my dad and its a terrible car, im so used to the g having loads of gripp that every time i set off in the accord i spun the front wheels, and it felt like a boat, on the on ramp which is pretty tight i usualy get on in the g at 50-60 mph i was doing 40 in the accord and i could barley hold it, felt like it was about to just go and flip over
Depends on what I drive. I've been behind the wheel of some pretty nice cars. I still love mine when I get back in it.
most of the time i'm driving an equal car to a G or one step down or up. I've been loving the E39 530's and the mk5 GTI, I will never own a 530 but maybe a GTi. Both have a great feel to it but i would not say they are better or worst then a G35, just a DIFFERENT feel.
obviously if your driving a 4 banger mazda 6, your not going to like it much.

I had a 09 Camry rental while the G was in the shop...
That thing was TERRIBLE
I really had to buckle down on the rental place to keep them from putting me in a Korean POS... but the Camry wasn't much better.
After I returned it, I went straight to the Nissan place across the street and asked to test drive a 09 base model Altima 2.5 with 50k mi (Camry only had 30)
The Altima was easily TWICE the car... bested it in every possible way.
The only way a car magazine can rate the Toyota higher is if they're on Toyota's payroll.

Im in love with my car, I drive a 2003 Denali and 2006 Maxima once in a while and neither comes close to the G. The maxima has a much better ride than my G though and the Denali is good to use for work. My G is the car to have fun in, obviously it's modded so this adds to it haha

Oh, almost forgot! I drove the Camry from FL to LA for a wedding. One of the guys in the car club drove with me, and we decided to write a review.
I'm not done with my review yet, but his is pretty funny:

I love my g35 so much, but I can say the 330i 6spd i drove was nicer. Felt more connected to the road and the I6 seemed like a stronger engine, although I know my g35 is faster.
I can really appreciate how nice the exterior looks, seriously still looks like one of the nicest cars on the road, Especially when its nice and clean.

i'm driving a brand new (12kms) rental chrysler 300 right now. soft suspension, anemic 3.5L engine, forgettable exhaust note, and of course terrible slushbox tranny. a few years ago 250hp seemed like a ton of power for a sedan. i'm not sure what the curb weight of the 300 is, but after driving my 6MT sedan it seems like a pig.
as usual i look forward to hopping back into the G tomorrow. i'm still torn on when/what to upgrade to...my G is trouble free and has been payment free for the past 4 years!

Also, good review of the Camry up there. My Dad owns one and he loves it. I haven't driven it, but it just seems like a soulless, unimaginative car for the masses.

And during the test drives i took (camry v6 and camry le) plus nissan (altima v6, and altima 2.5) i could easily tll a difference. V6 Camry wasn't too bad, but the LE was just god awful. That car was the most boring thing i have ever driven.
Altima is a good car. Way smoother than my G, but every time i get back into the G, i missed its amazing sound system (upgraded), and power that can take it to 100mph without even a flinch (Altima slows down at 80-85 like the g does at 120+...)
I missed that.
was comfy inside but when cornering the body rolls pretty hard so its for sure uncomfortable when driving around a corner to quick lol
